While reading the books particularly Teacherpreneurs by Barnett Berry and Teaching
2030 by Barnett Berry and Others, I started thinking on education in general and the Teaching profession in particular.
I have written about Teacherpreneurs by Barnett Berry in my earlier posting. Now let me give you brief idea about the book Teaching 2030 by Barnett Berry and Others before I reflect on Education and Teaching. This book also based on the experience and situation of education and teaching profession in USA. The authors try to give an account of education in the years to come taking into consideration the changes that are taking place in all aspects of lives of students due to technology and hence the trickling down effect of the same on other spheres. The authors in this book try and give the picture of how the teaching profession needs to change according to these changes so as to make the learning a successful endeavor. Though this book deals with the data and analysis based on the American schools what seems to me relevant is the core of the subject that deals with education and the changing role of teachers.
I see changes happening in the learning area. But to what an extent the education sector in India is coping with the changes to face the same.
I always wonder what do education mean to any one, I tried to get answers from my peers, teachers or adults no answers and they remained questions in my head without getting real answers. And also I used to ask why should I study a particular course or subject even if I am not interested in the same. Probably I was in need of few options regarding the validity of What I am pursuing.
What do education to anyone - do education to gain employment or for self satisfaction or to cope with the surrounding or for a status or education only to please society in which we are living. Is learning a process to gain knowledge? If so how should the learning process be made to make the learning a moments of joy. Do learning is meant in the form of doing worksheets or making the long formula writing without making mistakes. Do one need to know why one should learn a particular formula or principle, what is its importance.
My questions apart What I see sometimes really makes feel bad kids getting up very early running with loads of bags without smiles on their faces to catch a bus or going with parents to school. Parents eagerly making kids prepare for the exams.
Sometimes when I read works of kids I feel good for their style and way of putting meaning to sentences. With the technology growing and kids to most of the times using the same need to have skills to make the leaning a memorable experience. With the information growing in a huge piles how to make the learning a beautiful experience using these technological developments. Teachers most of the people whom I met are eager to learn and put the same in their classroom to share with the students need more motivational side of it to make teaching a profession of joy.
