INCORPORATING SMART GOALS IN PEDAGOGY TO DEVELOP NEW-AGE SKILLS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

India\u2019s education system is definitely heading towards a much-needed transformation. This transformation can be hastened only with a different framework of pedagogy where technology plays a vital role \u2013 one that includes cyber platforms and digital forums. The boons of the technological miracle, the internet, can be optimised and its banes moderated if schools and parents realise the new age needs and demands. Open seminars and t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate between all stakeholders will help.<\/p>\n

Technology-driven learning develops effective approaches to teaching and learning and works seamlessly within different global contexts.
\nFrom the manner in which teachers are trained to the format of classroom sessions, from the style of teaching to the manner of testing knowledge, technology changes everything. Students are exposed to different cultural identities through technology. Additionally, there is a focus on developing inter-disciplinary understanding rather than looking at individual subjects in isolation. Education should aim to transform students and schools as they learn through dynamic cycles of inquiry, thought and reflection.<\/p>\n

Incorporating SMART goals into the pedagogy is a sure-shot way to develop the necessary skills in 21st-century learners. It stands for:
\nS- Specific
\nM- Measurable
\nA- Achievable
\nR- Realistic
\nT- Timebound<\/p>\n

An extremely important part of modern education that is still missing in most addresses to educationists is \u2018mindfulness\u2019. We already have maths, language, science and environmental studies, but we need to expand this traditional curriculum with a new subject: mindfulness.<\/p>\n

The objective is to improve mental health, by including relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and other methods, to help students keep a clear head in the era of information overload and prevent early onset stress disorders. The goal of the programme should be to study which approach works best for young children and introduce these activities at the primary level itself to ensure mental health, wellbeing and happiness.<\/p>\n

A perfect school is one which should become the one-stop destination of new age learners seeking the best amalgamation of academics, sports extracurricular activities, life skills, soft skills, international programmes and the latest technologies. Teachers should be passionate mentors and create an environment where the facilitator feels happy transacting the content while students feel good absorbing the same.<\/p>\n

Learning should never be a competition; this has to be understood by all the interested parties \u2013 parents, students, management and all those who matter in a child\u2019s life. All schools and educationists should, therefore, strive to remain committed to empowering learners with skills and social competencies which enable them to make positive contributions to the world community as a whole.<\/p>\n

Student\u2019s needs should be accorded the top priority and traditional and modern educational values respected and encouraged to coexist. The school\u2019s objective should be to provide a safe space along with an appropriate and challenging environment, empowering the students to be welladjusted in an era of global lifelong learning and improvisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
