I have always had this feeling that imparting education is a mysterious activity; that the efficacy of your methodology and strategies, for the most part is unpredictable until the very day of evaluation. This enigmatic nature of education and the multiplicity of approaches to it makes teaching-learning a complex and often wary process. But I think after having gone through Krishnamurty's book On Education, I have begun to have some grips over what I shall do in a classroom. He says, more than imparting knowledge a teacher must first find the difference between knowledge and learning.    The vision he has of the children is to disentangle them from the rat race of society, making them self sufficient and allow them to wallow in the beauty of nature. This he opines, is done through freedom in being sensitive to nature- He asks: 'Can you, every time when you look at a flower, look at it as if you are looking at it for the first time?' The book is in the format of a socratic d...

       Gandhiji considered education as a means for the all-round development of a person. He proposed a simple formula for this which he called the 3 H formula. The 3 H’s according to him are related to 3 important areas of one’s life. They are the Head, the Heart and the Hand each representing mind, spirit and body respectively. His system of Education is also known by the name Basic Education/Wardha System of Education.                                                                         The 3H. Gandhiji believed that a balanced education of body, mind and spirit is what everyone needed. He questioned the Three R’s tradition of reading, writing and arithmetic and gave ample importance to the building up of one’s character.           ...

"Education is not a preparation for life but life itself" - John Dewey. Alternative schools prepare students for life when traditional schools prepare them for exams. These schools are different with respect to the curriculum and teaching methods they follow. Some methods include learning by doing, play way method, convenience in learning, burden-free education, choices of teachers, building up of life skills, callisthenics (Light exercises designed to promote general fitness), sports activities etc. In mainstream schools, i.e, in the common academe, children are caged inside the four walls of a room where various subjects are taught one after another. The drawbacks of such a system forced certain people to begin alternative schools. The main component of an alternative school is ‘freedom’. Children are not afraid of anything unnecessarily. They maintain self-discipline and they grow up in the lap of nature. Studies show that such students become responsible memb...

Principle of Naturalness Mother tongue is learned more easily because a natural environment exists for learning it. But in the case of a second language like English, the child encounters it in his class for only about six periods a week. So it becomes difficult for him to learn that language. So an effort must be made to provide the child with a natural environment for learning this foreign language. For this we have to keep the following points in mind: 1)       Talking to the student in foreign language in the classroom, playground etc. 2)       Encouraging students to talk mostly in English language. 3)       Arranging group discussions. Principle of Exposure A child learns her mother tongue more rapidly because he is exposed to it. Since it is spoken around him he naturally listens it and tries to speak it. For teaching a foreign language like English the teacher should try to expose stude...
