when a young couple start their nuclear life. Amongst others, The most obvious challenge which present and future generation parents faces is the effective engagement of children towards education and their character development. A 1st class student starts going for tuition not because he isn't able to comprehend what is being taught in school but because he doesn't have willingness to repeat it after coming at home. They always need stick behind them to study. But just think about it, if the child somehow crams the facts and vomit the stuff at the exam. does the purpose solves? certainly not.
Lets have a deeper insight about our current education system. Our current education system is Teacher centric which means that the teacher is solely responsible for the completion of course and there is only one way transaction of thoughts i.e. teachers to students and this creates an infinite distance between them. No matter how hard school management tries to cope up with but the separation it keeps on increasing.
In recent years, smart classes have been introduced in the schools to increase the involvement of students and create interest wherein concepts are being taught with the aid of audio/visuals but apparently it doesn't seems to be promising as after a certain duration even the audio visuals gets monotonous narration of concepts, moreover students as well as teachers feel detached.
A child of 7 years could remember names of all the cartoon characters he watches, though they are difficult to remember even for grown ups, but when it comes to the scientific/nonscientific terminology their memory gives up.
What could be the possible reason?
Interest, the only thing that matters for the proper engagement of children. Our current education system is nothing but a burden for them.
The need of hour is to devise a curriculum which is child centric wherein a child feel attached with teachers, audio/visual aids and other equipment being used. The curriculum should be in accordance to the child’s interest. A perfect combination of child’s interest, audio/visual aids, interactive activities etc. A curriculum made to the children for the children by the children. a curriculum which allows children to think and apply concepts instead of rote learning.
If we would be develop such curriculum time is not far off when children would be too happy to go schools and will become better citizen of country.
Together, lets create more smiles
In today's education era of endless competition and mindless cramming of facts, the obvious questions that arises is how we are going to deal with the disappointing consequences of marks driven education instead of thought driven education. Today's parents are more concerned about marks and class ranks instead of child's overall development. As far as teachers are concerned even they have tendency to judge a child on it's academic performance. But nobody cares what a child wants for himself? what does he want to become? what are his ambitions? does he likes studies or playing games or singing song? when he is being taught in class does he really wants to study or studies seem to be boring or burden for him. If teachers take initiative to make it interesting or to make it a fun to learn process.
