Do you ever think that the answers to all the problems in this world can be found inside books? Education definitely has to be dynamic in nature. It seeks to bring about a holistic scheme of development in the individual. This can never be achieved if learning is constricted to the act of reading textbooks alone. What then is the element which brings about a wholeness to the process of learning?
It is the extent to which we are able to incorporate practical elements and real-life situations into the process of learning. This brings about a whole lot of merits.
Realising the Rationale
Most children tend to have a feeling of dislike at least towards some subjects. This might affect their performance in those subjects as well. What do we do about this?
Well, we could try to make them aware of the real-life significance and applications of the things that they learn in those subjects. For example, in the case of mathematics, you can tell them about the importance of the subject in terms of its application in fields such as accounting, banking, space research and so on. In the case of English, you can make your child aware of the utility of English as the lingua franca of the world. You can tell your children about the importance of English in business communications and transnational civil contacts.
Only when students are made aware of the purpose of learning each and every subject topic, it makes them appreciate the subjects better. This can help increase their interest level and improve learning outcomes.
Cementing with Clarity
Reading a description and trying to make sense of it can be an arduous task. Even with a person to explain the concept, it might still be tedious. Don’t you agree? But when we relate to the real-world applications of the concepts we are learning about; it gives us more clarity with regard to the subject.
Take the case of lawyers. Why do even the toppers among the fresh law graduates tend to work under senior lawyers during the early phase of their career? It is because no amount of bookish knowledge can teach you about the ins and outs of the system like hands-on experience. Seeing the law work in action gives more conceptual clarity than any book on law can ever give.
The same is true with every other sphere of learning. Thus, incorporating references to applications helps improve the efficiency of learning.
Facing the Real World
What should we expect from an education? Well, definitely one should expect his education to help him face the realities of the world and lead a productive life. Thus, using real-life predicaments and applications would seem like a logical step in the scheme of education. Without this, we would be just wasting resources and facing problems such as unemployability.
How to do it?
There are various ways in which practical elements can be brought into the system of education efficiently. Successful personalities from different fields can be invited for guest lectures and narrate to the students their experience at the workplace. Industrial visits can be conducted for students. Weekly sessions can be scheduled to analyse the important events that were trending in the news during the previous week. In case you face difficulty in explaining children the practical side of subject topics, show them online videos. If you are looking for the perfect blend of theory and practical online sessions to train effectively for P1-P6 and PSLE, make sure you check our platform.
An active attempt in incorporating practical elements and real experiences into education can prove to be revolutionising. The points discussed above explain to us why such things are necessary. So, let’s charge ahead and put our theories into practice! 😊
