After
observing the pedagogy, examination system, attitude of teachers in UG
and PG courses across all universities and Institutions, I think we need
to rethink of focus areas
1. Examination should be conducted to
find out what students know and not to find faults and fail them. When I
see educators saying that if they have set the papers nobody would have
passed the exam. This is terrible attitude of an Educator. More failure
need not necessarily be a good system and quality education. In fact it
is worst possible system as it destroys the moral of the students.
2. I do not know whether more the complex subjects better is the
programme is right. In my opinion the course should be comprehensive not
complex. The first task is to make students feel confident of the
subjects that they are learning and making it complex and lengthy by
adding not so needed topics just to make it look difficult is
unproductive exercise.
3. If the system of learning is
not choice and aptitude based it does not work. Students should be
given choice and choice should not be based aptitude and not on market
demand. The learning will be better and result will also be good.
Teacher must help students understand what they are good at.
4.
Holistic understanding is better than super specialization approach of
leaning or the end product will be machine and not a human being. This
is true especially for humanities, commerce, and management courses
which are purely non technical.
Machines are designed to do a specific jobs not human beings.
Learning should result in joy and not end up in exercise in obtaining a degree.
