Learning and Visualizing

Learning and Visualizing

In ancient times, India had the Gurukul system of education in which anyone who wished to study went to teacher's (Guru) house and requested to be taught.

In modern times, teaching was confined to classrooms and the link with nature was broken, as well as the close relationship between the teacher and the student also weekend.

Swami Vivekananda quoted “Education is manifestation of perfection in man". Education is the backbone of society and the method by which education is imparted in the society decides the intellect of literate and learned people.

We are unfortunately blessed with a generation who believe that things in prescribed textbook are the essence of education. The practicality of the subject remains unknown to the students even when they have graduation in hand because the practical aspect of the subject was told only for the examination purpose. The very basic problem today's generation has is that most of them study only because of the reason of exams. This is the reason why we find most of the graduates are unemployed even though they have the marks. The very basic reason many fails in the life even though they achieved success in their exams is that they thought that marks are the lone criterion for success in life. The teachers also promote student with more academic brilliance rather than those good in other curricular activities.

We need to produce sensible and enlightened intellectuals who could bring about the much needed change of the hour.

'Given a man a fish and you feed him one day, teach him to catch fishes and you feed him for a lifetime'. It is believed that if we teach a man a skill, we enable him for a lifetime. Knowledge is largely forgotten after the semester exam is over. Still, year after year student focus on cramming information. The best crammers are rewarded by the systems.

In short, Memorising is no learning. Some kids learn faster, some are comparatively slow. Some people are visual learners other are auditory learners and still some other learn faster from experience.

In today, modern world, Internet has created this possibility that the performance need not to be restricted to a small classroom, it can be opened up for the world to see we need to embrace internet with technology.

Learning should be made interesting and interactive by visualizing them. Smart classes-learning, you-tube practical’s and demonstrations are now trending in society. Learners are more curious and new learning platform apart from bookish learning give them a chance to explore into a new world of curiosity
