Paradigm shift in Learning in Modern Times
Traditional education is very much rote learning and that is the way many schools impart
school education.
Times are changing and there are now numerous advancement in technology and power
of technology can be used to personalize the learning experience of students. This will
also allow greater student engagement and participation in different activity to enhance
the learning skills of students in areas other than traditional textbook learnings.
Tools that are going to change the Student’s Learning
1. Artificial intelligence algorithms can individually assess students learning styles
and customise the study materials
2. Augmented and Virtual Reality can transport learner in location and places where
they can view objects or activities real time.
Focus shall be in providing real world experience and develop necessary tools to allow
learning anywhere anytime.
Education has to be made accessible and engaging enabling students to explore a topic
deeply through hands on real world activity
It is important to place a student at the centre of learning and develop a deep
understanding of their chosen subjects.
The future is age of specialisation and student should have the liberty to pursue subjects
of their choice. It is more important to go deep than go broad and will produce much
better quality of specialised workforce.
Children need to study subjects like finance take active interest in various vocational
course and handle personnel finances.
