By Worth Sharing | Nov 4, 2019

Making a proper parachute toy requires a little bit more efforts in terms of measurement and precision. Using a plastic cover with a paper cup can be a simpler model for smaller kids to enjoy making parachute. Replace the paper cup with a small weight and see what happens.

Is it all your mother’s fault?
 
No matter what the “it” refers to, Sigmund Freud would have probably said yes to that question. However, we now know a lot more about psychology, parenting, and human relationships than Freud did.

Writing is not Copying but Expressing Yourself

By Simran Sadh | Sep 13, 2019

During my interaction with the primary, elementary and secondary classes of my internship school, I found that children (majority of them) deemed themselves as unable to express their thoughts in writing. During the initial days, it came to them as a surprise when they were asked to write without having anything to ‘copy’ from. This is the reality of majority of our state-run and privately-run schools. Writing to them is nothing but ‘copying down’ whatever the teacher has to say.

Understanding Learners' Thinking through an Analysis of Errors

By At Right Angles | Aug 9, 2019

In this article, I have argued that it is important not to bunch all the students’ errors as “careless mistakes” or “over-generalisations”.

I had a great relationship with them. The air in the classroom was of love, trust and wonder!

Evolving Perception of Teaching and Learning Materials

By Learning Curve | Jul 24, 2019

Materials can be important for helping children learn. The very young child learns in interaction with and acting on the objects around her. In the beginning, the senses, motor abilities and subsequent causal analysis develops through their observations of the things around and their behaviour in different circumstances. This interaction with materials is spontaneous and directed by the child. The manner of interaction is decided by her and often their explorations do not meet with the approval of the adults.

Initiative Towards Quality Education

By Learning Curve | Jul 18, 2019

Education is a prime concern of society. Naturally both as individuals and as a society we always think about a better education for all round growth and development of the individual and, ultimately, society. Today the term quality education has gained pace and is a matter of concern and debate among educationists and even common people. In fact education itself is qualitative in nature and outcome. The matter of discussion or concern should be the process, the contents etc.
