Detailed Description

Learning in schools is practised in a way where students are ‘told’ information about various topics through textbooks which they are expected to memorise and finally repeat during assessments. The chapters in textbooks are arranged in increasing order of complexity, at the end of which there are questions which the student is expected to answer by searching through the content in as many attempts as necessary. Students begin to understand that grading is on the basis of accuracy of recalling the information, and hence, learning to copy-paste answers is the type of learning that students pick up as a habit. Merely remembering words like ‘sunrise’, ‘rain’, and ‘sea’ does not mean that the student has understood the meaning of the word. He needs to experience the sunrise, see the darkness recede and the light take over, walk on the beaches to experience the water and sand, and get wet in the rain to enjoy and understand the proper meaning of the observable fact.
