Its 2018 and rote learning is definitely out the
window. Surprisingly, a number of state boards in
India continue to pursue this practice. In this
current age of cross-disciplinary innovation,
memorised knowledge has no place. Studies have
proven that just because a child can recite
something by heart, doesnt mean they have gained
a mastery of the subject. In an age when many
schools are busy teaching kids to code, its time
to put your foot down and look beyond simple rote
learning.

• The idea of the traditional classroom needs to
  change. Students dont absorb much from the basic
  writing on the blackboard approach, marking a
  need for dynamic whiteboards and other classroom
  innovations.
• Moreover, the attention span of your average
  student today is far lower as a result of the
  internet and advent of smartphones. They
  understand the language of dynamic content and
  its important for you to speak the same tongue as
  educators and parents.
• Many schools are now taking things a step beyond
  by introducing subjects like coding for children.

• Who hasnt hated attending a lecture growing up?
  Not only are they tedious ordeals but you also
  have the added task of taking notes for fear of
  missing out on important points.
• More and more schools and colleges are doing away
  with traditional lectures and focusing more on
  interactive videos which students can consume at
  leisure.
• It gives the student the freedom to learn when
  they want to and where they want to. While this
  might seem like a radical change, one simply has
  to look at the success stories to support this
  theory.

Another age-old teaching practice that needs to
leave the building is the concept of teaching
only through theory. Bookish knowledge never has
and never will serve to prepare children for the
real world and guess what, the real world has
gotten more dynamic than ever! Ideas like the
young entrepreneurs program have risen out of
this same need for practical learning in a school
setup.

• Many schools are shifting their focus away from
  old-school homework and are instead pushing
  children to take up projects.
• The idea is to let kids motivate themselves to
  make good use of their free time. They are pushed
  towards projects that require group collaboration
  as opposed to simple, individual homework
  assignments.
