Conceptual
& Application based Learning
A
crying need of the age
School children are encouraged to memorize raw facts, without knowing how to apply them. Practical, Project, Programming : everything is just to maintain formality, actual objectives never become fruitful. Our attention is diverted from life-oriented education, which makes insight, inner power for critical thinking, analytical ability, problem solving skill to face the challenge confidently.
As a result, we are lagging behind. Technology develops, but science stopped. We are unable to see things from different angle to crack the problem, to overcome the crisis.
Educational
reform is the answer. Curriculum, environment and teaching methodology should be
framed on the basis of development of brain cells of the child in different age
group. Activity, science experiments must be meaningful to learners to develop own
ideas and creativity, and not a routine task or child’s play. Lack of awareness
among guardians is a key factor of failure. A parallel education system is also
needed to develop vocational, cultural and technological skill. And another one
for backward class, first generation learner or mentally retarded children.
