2Holistic Learning
- With educators and policy-makers starting to
understand that the present educational system
does not essentially secure a properly balanced
and fit adult, the concept of holistic
learning has attained a new level of importance.
Time and again, it has been clearly proven that
even if a students grades seem to show that he
or she has gathered the basics of the subject, it
does not mean that the concepts are properly
engrained into the mindset. Psychologists point
out that it is important to take into account all
education models, all the qualities of an
individuals whole personality.
3How holistic learning is different from the
traditional learning approach
Unlike traditional learning practices, learning
in a holistic approach is not merely about the
attainment of established concepts or facts.
Learning does not simply mean that a student has
to memorize certain aspects of a subject. By
adopting a holistic approach, school education
has sent a clear message the knowledge gained
in educational institutes has to be applied in
real life situations, situations which are open
and have a lot of people to mix and communicate
with.
4Another key difference between the holistic
approach and traditional teaching is the fact
that the latter does not recognize that there are
several layers of intelligence. The capability to
jet off facts and bookish knowledge is only one
kind of intelligence. As a matter of fact, people
with compact emotional health can often work out
as a better part of the world, even though they
may not be as intelligent or well-schooled as
others.
5Educational courses are almost always presented
as something for which students are required to
contend, all thriving for attention in a
classroom of over thirty students. In any private
institution that adopts a holistic approach, more
importance is given to how the course gets laid
out in terms of its approachability to a teacher,
educational materials, students, etc. all of
these factors severely impact a students
experience. The ultimate goal of holistic
learning is to make the students walk away from a
class feeling a sense of true belonging to the
class and to the subject being taught.
