EDUCARNIVAL 2016 at IIT DELHI - Presentation by Rama J. Sudev
- 1. ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP Rama J. Sudev Principal, GTA Vidhya Mandir, Neelankarai, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.
- 2. 1. OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION- The joy of learning. Make learning meaningful; focus on learning, not scoring. Schools are more concerned about producing 100% result. Learning outcome-focus of education. Students are clueless about their career choice. Need of the day - paradigm shift in our educational system. Where will EDUCATION be in India in 20 years?
- 3. 2.BACKGROUND-CONCERN THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED Children are stressed out. Lack of self motivation. Minimal concept learning in lower classes. Tests are not diagnostic; they are judgemental. Children want only marks; go to coaching centres. High marks don’t mean there is concept clarity. Parents do NOT trust educational institutions. Self-learning and self-assessment - totally ignored.
- 4. 3.PROCESS-HOW WAS IT IDENTIFIED AND WHAT IS THE MEASURING TOOL FOR IT Students’ unable to express ideas cohesively – very clearly noticed in the ASL sessions. Insufficient comprehension skills/lack of analysis. Post assessment exercises not given priority. No conceptual learning; mistakes repeated. Tuition centres confuse students.
- 5. 4.UNIQUE IMPLEMENTABLE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN - 2yrs to 5 yrs (KG) Experiential/activity based learning-mandatory. Absolutely NO tests. Weekly mother tongue classes. Medium of instruction and core subjects taught thro’ story telling, conversation, rhymes. Number work-facilitated through activities. LSRW – skills to be given utmost importance. Concentration on joy of reading to discover.
- 6. 5.UNIQUE IMPLEMENTABLE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN- 5 yrs to 12 yrs (Primary and Middle school) Clarity in expression through medium of instruction. Only medium of instruction and math taught in classes 1 to 5 along with languages. Science, history, geography etc.- learning facilitated through stories. Subjects taught through games and activities. Group discussions, seminars, debates, class presentations
- 7. 6.UNIQUE IMPLEMENTABLE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN-13 yrs to 16 yrs (Sec and Sr. Sec) Concept clarity - absolute priority. Internship - to aid choosing a career. Forcing them to score high in ALL subjects-wrong. Re-teach subjects if scores are bad. Projects, seminars, symposiums practical assignments-major role in grades. Teachers to research and perfect their subject. Tests should NOT be announced - diagnostic.
- 8. 7.TANGIBLE QUANTITATIVE BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING THE MENTIONED STRATEGIES-KG HQ (Happiness Quotient) will rise. Learning will happen without stress or pressure. Students’ curiosity and creativity will rise. Honing language skills - promote power of expression and confidence. Holistic development will actually be facilitated. Qualitative benefits to be given priority over mere quantitative, especially during the developmental stage.
- 9. 8.TANGIBLE QUANTITATIVE BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING THE MENTIONED STRATEGIES- Primary and Middle School Focus on the pleasure of learning. Grades will reflect learning outcome. Area of interest can be identified. Assessments help identifying a child’s area of interest. Scope for creativity and expression will be tangible. Parents’ trust in schools will begin to come back. Healthier children.
- 10. 9.TANGIBLE QUANTITATIVE BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING THE MENTIONED STRATEGIES-Sec and Senior Secondary School Concept clarity-reflected in the scores. Attitude to learning will speak for it. Tests and assessments will indicate progress/help identify areas that need help. Impetus to work extra hard on favourite subjects. Internships will equip students choose their career-match interest, aptitude & attitude. Research projects, seminars, debates etc. to expand thinking and creativity.
- 11. 10.SUMMARY Learning should be an enjoyable exercise. Students deserve to be taught not judged. Attitudinal changes needed in facilitators. Assessment patterns to be reassessed. Activity based fun filled concept learning promoted. Academic Leaders and Policy Makers - to prepare LEARNERS for LIFE. WE owe it to our CHILDREN! THANK YOU!
