Press Release Summary = Kids education should put more emphasis on experiential learning, rather than learning by rote. Only this way children will realize their potential.
Press Release Body = Kids education is changing and changing for good. The last century, the emphasis was on complexity, studying by rote and writing examinations. Kids education today is going in a different direction. This doesnot apply to all educational institutions accorss the world. There are many educational institutions that are stuck with the old ways of teaching and outdated thinking.They are reluctant to change with the changing times, but they are going to change sooner than later.
The changes taking place are good for kids education. For one, the emphasis is shifting back to simplistic style of teaching, rather than abstract. The emphasis is now on visuals and feelings, rather than memory. Memory is important, but it is not the be all and the end all of kids education. What is important is understanding the principle rather than remembering it.For example, if a kid learns that fire burns, without every actually seeing fire, then there is no point in learning the fact. All learning should be experiential. What is meant by experiential learning? The child knows the facts by constant experimentation, and learning about the facts themselves.
Understanding the properties of light by studying some books is not enough. Children should play with light, observe light , use all kinds of spectrometers to understand the properties of light.When the child learns this way, there is no way he is going to forget it. There is no need to fight with the brain, and deliberately store information.The deliberate and offensive way of learning makes the child redundant and vegetates quickly. The learning acquired in school never helps them to take any important decisions in life.The inherently curious spirit of the child should not be curbed. Curbing it means creating a machine or a computer out of human being, rather than a thinking rationale citizen.
The emphasis of classroom teaching should not be on the results, but rather than on the processes. If the processes are correct, the results will automatically be taken care of. Scientific temper doesnot mean that whatever is observed can be replicated in all kinds of situations. Labarotary cannot be mirror of life, as life is much more complex than what meets the eye. This kind of knowledge should be given to the child.Processes should help sharpen the mind of the child. Only this way the child becomes capable of realizing his full potential.
