Is education going with a critical line?
Subin.k
The concept of education is deeply rooted with totality of learning experiences.it is the fundamental responsibility of a teacher to initiate learning experiences subjected to the learning outcome of the concerned subject area. Experience is a hand for the student to reveal something special for the society or to derive something innovative and fruitful for society. Pandemic effects changed our education sector widely. Democratic practices of teaching social system changed to self-paced, self-motivating conceptual paradigm. In Kerala online education came under a broadband system, with effective monetization of state council of education research and training, ministry of education started to provide online education to the masses. The proper delivery of classes through this online platform is suitable to achieve the learning outcomes of education in the modern society?
Learning outcome is a tool for the behavior modification of the learner .learning outcome is the outline for achieving certain objectives. When we achieve all of these objectives properly, can help to make the society in a good manner. But today the system of education is shifted to online mode. Teachers giving lessons based on the text books and they set their instruction based on the critical pedagogy. Classes delivered through victers and it is too much good. We can see there is visualization in the concept, all possibilities of teaching methods effectively used. In most of the classes such as language subjects and science and social science are trying to uphold students for proper understanding and humanization. Teachers taking classes which are based on the mental age and ability of the students. Effort taken by the teachers requires good appreciation. But the problem is not that.
Do you think that evaluation is properly happening in online education? We know that thereafter every class, teachers want to fill up the column of teaching experience in the lesson plan with evaluation technique and assessment formalities. In the online education model of Kerala, through victers classes, thereafter every class they filled with so many works, but, from the part of students, they are inactive in the sense. The mechanism says that, their concerned teachers will initiate students for doing such an activity, and monitor students for doing that particular thing. Based on the qualitative observation of my study and experience, and major debates with my friends and teachers are argued that, majority of students are not doing these worksheets and they laid down themselves with laziness. In the rural areas, most of the students engaged with so many other activities. Interest for learning is depreciating in the modern society. One of my friend, she is working as a guest teacher in a government schools argued that, students filled with so many behavioral issues. But we don’t have enough time to rectify all of these problems. Now schools are opened. There is one more virus are emerged to make fright among peoples. So, no longer once again we are going to hear about closed propaganda.in this scenario, it is a needy factor to give much more concern for the education sector of our state. Otherwise totality of education will reach a critical line with so many saddle points. That saddle points will totally destroy entire development of our nation.
