Idea 13: Indian Education - New experimental teaching method (extreme sociology)
Our education system is such that it encourages learning gap between students. Once a student falls weak in his early education, the gap continue to increase and it might at some time become a reason for giving up on studies/learning.
Students after graduating becomes working citizens of nation and here also same mentality prevails but as govt. tries to uplift the society through affirmative actions such as reservation, the normal student thinks its unjustified to giving favors to few people. He was never taught
- to walk with others,
- to help others
- that it is for betterment of society that we should all rise together
but instead he was taught to not help those who are weak, and trample them to get top rank in the class.
So we should try to put a habit of team work from beginning. We should teach them that the journey to path of success will bring more joy if he takes others along with him. We should test a new method in teaching where the whole class should help each other in teaching and if someone fails others (mark or grade) should be affected negatively, As it happens in real society. When a section of our society is very weak it affect development of nation.
In real society we try to bridge that gap by some affirmative measures but I think we should try to cure the root cause of this problem rather than solving the problem when it occurs.
Class can be divided in groups or whole class can act as a group, any way teaching team work from beginning will definitely help the nation.
Possible positive outcomes:
1. Children would learn about team work
2. They would learn that one weak link weakens the whole chain and it should be fixed first
3. They might learn about problems of each other (in which a teacher might not be successful)
4. They might find solutions to problems of each other
5. They might understand things better as they explain to each other
There might be negative points to this approach but I (too) never see glass as empty. :)
