Todays Teaching and learnings has changed its dimensions:
I think, the teaching/learning process
has 3 dimensions as follows.
1) The first one of which is a classroom, where in the teacher is playing the
major role. The teacher comes in the classroom, fully prepared, using
enthusiasm and delivers the lesson.In such a situation a circle of knowledge is
created whose radius is decided by the teacher and the students knowledge is
revolving on the circumference of that circle. The student in this case is a
passive listener.
2) The second dimension, I think is a smart classroom, where in the teacher is utilizing
the technology tools to facilitate the learning process. The role of the
teacher is different from the previous situation. The students are able to
visualise whatever is taught to them.In this situation a circle of knowledge is
created by the teacher as well as the student, whose radius is decided by both
of them.Surely, the radius of such a circle will be bigger than the first one.
3) The third dimension is a place where in
the students are exposed to hands-on projects
or activities
in Math Lab.Thus setting up a platform where
the lead role is played by the students.The students are exploring the world of
knowledge themselves. In this situation, the circle of knowledge is created by
the students according to their satisfaction. The radius of such a circle may
vary .The knowledge gained in this situation, I believe is the maximum.
I think, we must go through all the 3
dimensions of the teaching/learning process, only then it will be complete.
