75th Independence: Has PADA SALAH mature to SCHOOL?
The pada Salah delivered wisdom, while the present schools give student-generated wisdom. Earlier in the past– we had teachers and the content was divided into subjects. Schools were formulated to keep students bounded inside the campus. And the rest of the knowledge was gained from the world outside.
But the future needs to be blended. More emphasis is needed on the integration of Subjects with the integration of students along with the integration of learning contexts, and it all needs to be inter-connected. There should be a connection, with real-world contexts, and also porous to the rich resources(technical) in the society.
Earlier instructions were subject-based, on the contrary, the current scenario is purely project-based. The hierarchical past, where the students were recipients and teachers the dominant source, is now transformed in a co-created fashion. Recognition of both students and adults as resources is a vital part of the co-creation of societies in the current day. The future also necessitates being collaborative, and that means shifting working norms. By expressing differently, we are observing a shift from a world of stalks to a world of collaboration. The knowledge gained was stacked up without any major use.
The goals of the past were monotony and agreement, the students were trained in batches of age, following the same conventional curriculum. They were all evaluated at the same period of time in groups. But the present is about personalising educative experiences. students personalise their knowledge and get evaluated in ways that foster talents.
In the past, schools were technological islands, most of the technology was deployed. Whereas Future students are empowered and they use the potential of technologies to extract learning from conventions and connect learners in the most powerful ways. In Pada Salah knowledge gained was more interactive, the future is just participative. We focus on activity-based learning, but the reality is just mere participation.
But in the data-face of all these challenges, we don’t need to be submissive. While technology and globalisation have unruly implications for our financial and social composition, they don’t have calculated implications. The current scenario is the interplay between the technological boundary and the cultural, institutional and economic instruments that we mobilise in reply. With that said, what do you think learning will look like in 20 years? Are we going back to Pada Salah again? As it was better!!
