Ignite a Spark within Yourself
Learning Prabodhini Way is introducing practices of learning and teaching in Jnana Prabodhini.The method of teaching has to suit the intended effect or result of teaching. Creation of knowledge and application of knowledge are the two guiding lights for devising a method of teaching. The students enter the classroom carrying some bits of information with them. They should not leave the classroom with only some more bits of information. The purpose of teaching should be to give them a perspective to use their information, and skills to use that information effectively. The purpose of teaching should be to give them insights to spot the gaps in their information. Complete knowledge in a particular branch of study is impossible. It is better to teach a multidisciplinary approach where application of knowledge is necessary and an inter-disciplinary approach where creation of knowledge is the goal. The method of teaching has to be more skills and process-oriented and not content-oriented. But skills and processes cannot be taught without knowledge of minimum content. Knowledge of a basic quantum of content is a pre-requisite for teaching of processes and skills.
Jnana Prabodhini’s creative magazine for youngsters! Not a mere magazine but a movement for the development of youngsters! A popular magazine among V to XII students.
