Attending a
session/discussion often end up with more clarity or more question, of which
both should be consider positive outcome. For me the latter one was where I
stand at the end. Education as a process of socialization is transference of culture
from one generation to next. But, how do we make sure that this transference is
not cultural imposition to the new
generation is something that catches my mind. We are talking about the ideal
school where maximum learning, exposure, and personality development should be
happening in the school. In trying to achieve this we must try that learning is
extended at home or environment around the children.
If a child is to be provided free space to think, present his or her
value as worthy and inherent as other, think beyond the textual instruction, we
need lots of brain storming where child have to be guided and inform of true
meaning of free choice. It is not compulsory
that the desire to learn and explore in child comes naturally, but this thus not necessary signifies any psycho-social
problem in child. If a child thus not take interest in the entire phenomenon
happening (diverse subject) around him/her it thus not necessary signifies any
problem. What should be more important is to explore what are those specific
areas that interest the child most.
Different child have different capacity to cope up with anything new
so, it not important to take certain group/category as the unit of determining development but have the flexibility to let the
child develop at his/her own personal pace. Interactive and group learning has
added flavor to learning process among many children so, if we took “Peers pressure” on the notion of
negativity or something that a child has to overcome than, we should carefully
rectify.
