उच्च प्राथमिक कक्षाओं में हिन्दी शिक्षण कुछ अनुभव

प्राथमिक कक्षाओं में भाषा पढ़ाने के नज़रिए एवं विधियों के बारे में करीब डेढ़ दशक से काफी चर्चा होती रही है लेकिन उच्च प्राथमिक कक्षाओं में भाषा पर किस नज़रिए से व कैसे काम करें, इस पर विमर्श कम ही दिखाई पड़ता है।

हमारे बीच जाले बुनती और शिकार करती मकड़ियाँ

वे बहुत नन्हीं तो होती हैं लेकिन मकड़ियों का जीवन भी हमारी तरह अत्यन्त नाटकीय होता है। मकड़ियों को यह तय करना होता है कि वे अपने जाले कहाँ बनाएँ और भोजन कहाँ खोजें। कैसे अपने शत्रुओं से बचें, सम्भावित जोड़ीदार को कैसे ढूँदें और कैसे अपने शिशुओं का ख्याल रखें। है न दिलचस्प? आइए, हमारे साथ मकड़ियों के दिलचस्प संसार को खोजिए।

अम्ल, क्षार और pH आयनीकरण से लेकर बफर घोल तक

विज्ञान में पढ़ाई जाने वाली कई 'अवधारणाओं के समान उत्तरोत्तर विकास का विचार अम्ल और क्षार की अवधारणा पर भी लागू होता है। इसका मतलब है कि हम एक ही अवधारणा से बार-बार विभिन्न स्तरों पर मुलाकात करते हैं और अपनी समझ को तराशते जाते हैं। स्कूलों में इस विषय को बहुत ही चलताऊ ढंग से पढ़ाया जाता है, उससे सम्बन्धित अवधारणाओं को गहराई से टटोलने की कोशिश करता है यह आलेख। उम्मीद है कि इससे यह समझने में मदद मिलेगी कि कैसे आयनीकरण pH का निर्धारण करता है और किसी भी जलीय घोल की pH से तय होता है कि वह अम्ल की तरह बर्ताव करेगा या क्षार की तरह।

कोरोना काल में बच्चों की मनोस्थिति पर एक नज़र

परिचय घरों से बाहर न निकल पाना, लोगों से नहीं मिलना, आसपास का सूनापन और टीवी पर दिन-भर कोविड से जुड़ी खबरें देखना जब हम सब बड़ों पर इतना असर कर रहा था, तो यह सब बच्चों पर किस प्रकार का प्रभाव डाल रहा होगा! अध्ययन बताते हैं कि तनाव बच्चों के मानसिक स्वास्थ्य और सीखने की प्रक्रिया पर गहरा प्रभाव डाल सकता है। तनावपूर्ण परिस्थितियों में जीने से बच्चों में बेचैनी, डर, मूड ऊपर-नीचे होना और अन्य मानसिक बीमारियों से ग्रसित होने की सम्भावना बढ़ जाती है।

THE NEED OF REDESIGNING CONVENTIONAL MODE OF EDUCATION

There are some institutes that are taking serious steps in re-engineering their curriculum as well as teaching methodology, but the ratio of such colleges is not very impressive as they can be counted on fingertips. Very few institutes are working towards the new skills development which is essential for motivating the students to explore and fulfill the demands of the recent changes in the globalized environment of business and technology. Hence, there is an immediate need to introduce desired changes in the education system of our country, especially in engineering colleges and ITIs.

STRATEGIES TO HELP STUDENTS MOTIVATE THEMSELVES IN TIMES OF ONLINE LEARNING

Over the decades, by and large, learning was confined to the four walls of a physical classroom. The advent of technology in education enabled students and provided them with varied learning engagements. Also, the outbreak of the Covid-19 propelled school leaders and institutions to adopt virtual learning mode as a feasible alternative to continue the teaching-learning process. Within a short span of just eight months, schools and students find themselves in a virtual learning era. At one time, what looked impossible in our country has become a reality with millions of parents, teachers, and students adopting this mode of learning. The evolution and availability of tech tools were some of the major factors that helped in making a quick and easy transition to the virtual interactive learning platform. Even as we continue to adapt to the new normal, parents and teachers as equal stakeholders need to constantly help students remain motivated and engaged on the virtual platform.

DESIGN-CENTRIC EDUCATION – IMPERATIVE FOR THE POST COVID WORLD AND ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT

Education Disrupted The disruption unleashed by COVID-19 has shaken the education system at all levels - primary, secondary, and higher education. However, institutions seem to hold on to their discipline/faculty-centric and teaching-oriented model. Most are busy transferring this model into online platforms with controls such as attendance and proctored online exams. On the other hand, students are figuring out ways to make sense of the burgeoning academic knowledge and expectations, while grappling with issues of internet connectivity, availability of computers, ergonomics of increased screen time, and learning to beat the system. The fundamental qualities of learning the real world continue to be accidental biproducts, if at all.

E-LEARNING PLATFORMS ARE BRINGING CONCEPT-DRIVEN LEARNING TO THE CENTER STAGE

I Learning in today’s world has evolved greatly. Digital technology has revolutionized the approach to learning for students and teachers alike.

CREATING FUTURE ENTREPRENEURS: BENEFITS OF GIVING ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING TO STUDENTS FROM A NASCENT STAGE

In a world that has been constantly evolving and developing with technology and innovations, the K-12 schools have remained a stagnant entity. Education is primarily the driving force of every nation’s economy – directly or indirectly. No doubt, many schools have modernized themselves, and have taken to learning by doing as their students work in groups to brainstorm and solve problems, dabble in online learning, and integrate science with arts. Still, it is often observed that students who graduate lack the necessary skills and out-of-the-box thinking needed to tackle and get through the modern-day workplace challenges. Teaching entrepreneurship does not only develop the capacity to start companies but even to think innovatively and ambitiously. Hence, including it in the school curriculum will prove beneficial.

How Management Curriculum Is Becoming More Industry Orientated

It is lamented in the Indian as well as in the Western higher education sectors that Business School education is lacking in industry relevance. It has been blamed that B-Schools are using an outdated curriculum, having less focus on skill-building, unable to establish ‘industry connect’ and failing to impact graduate attributes that are valued by today’s employers such as problem-solving and decision-making skills, leadership, work effectively as a team member, intrapreneurship, and the ability to grasp and manage complexity and dynamics in organizations and in the profession. Both employers and management educators are of the view that there is a gap between B-School academia and industry, that they couldn’t do much to bridge this gap.
