Today I was streaming "Thinking out of Box" from barcamp.org.np.
Something come across my mind.
Back in my campus, Wake up 7am time then time to get ready and 10 to 5 its campus time. Come back do the homework and then prepare for assignment. Thats seems horrible to you. Those were when I was doing my bachelor's degree. Guess what. I still have time for thinking out of box during this time.
Lets go further back during the plus two and school days. The days were similar same 10 to 5 job oops I mean study. But the study pressure were far more bigger. Again the same question when we have time to think out of box.
Barcamp is atleast giving a platform or some sort of motivation for people to think about creativity something more than your study.
The thing with people is we always complain. Here I will try to post something reasonable solution which seems to be atleast reasonable for me if not for others.
I dont know if you guys have felt the same way or not. But sometime I feel most of the time during our lecture, the lecturer waste far much more time just writing something in the blackboard. Its the time for relaxing and getting distracted from the topic. As soon as teacher faces the board, I am busy playing with mobile. How about my friends? They are also busy giving misscall to someone or texting someone.
Dont you think we should used overhead board or powerpoint presentation?
Now I remember the days when there used to be no class due to load shedding. But an inverter wont cost so much to run it. Atleast it will short down the time of lecture. We, human, are so much fascinated with the letters and alphabet that we forgot that PICTURE SPEAKS THOUSAND WORDS AND better to illustrate than a simple lines in the blackboard.
What I am trying to say is that 10 to 5 college time can be shorten and will give time for student to think out of box and be creative.
Do comment me. I would like to have a good discussion.
My friend Shailesh try to post this which due to some technical problem he was not able to. This is what he has to say:
ReplyDeleteI agree with the writer's view here.The least effective way of learning is reading and lecture where as the most effective ways to learn is by actually doing things. It is also proven that we remember the most when we are actively involved in learning i.e participating in a discussion, doing pictoral presentation, giving a speech in classroom...
thats true rohan the current status of Nepalese school and campus teaching methodology,....but multimedia presentation as you said is very effective ofcourse since we can listen and actually see what is said. And its man nature that it reminds the more which is actually see and heard. Writing in the blackboard is also the kinda visual communication but what it lacks is that there is more time consumed by the lecturer,distracts students in comparison to multimedia teaching....
ReplyDeleteI would like the method of learning by relating. everything that we learn or read is related to our day to day life in some how so why not connect then with our life instead of memorizing the texts.. :)
ReplyDeleteyup i agree with u, Rohan. The procastinating habit of we people is too over whelming. Thinking out of the box is like viewing the same day to day life through a different angle. It would bring excitement as well as interest to what ppl do. Ultimately success would definately prevail. :D
