As per Pearson Voice of Teacher Survey 2015 (an annual survey done by Pearson, the World’s leading learning company, that aims to voice the opinion of the teaching community in India), teachers seek changes to the traditional ways of teaching to adapt to the changing dynamics in the learning ecosystem:
– 57% teachers believe that students are not adequately prepared for employment.
– There’s a collective call by teachers (75%) for industry collaborated curriculum restructuring.
– They urge for industrial training of teachers (44%) to impact employability of Indian students.
– Majority (66%) support technology adoption across levels; school teachers, specifically, consider installation of smart boards (77%) and bundled multimedia content (51%) as the key initiatives.
– Majority (52%) believe that India’s Education Assessment Framework lacks specific action points for teachers and parents to enable holistic education.
This clearly depicts that trainers, just like parents and students of today, are seeking progressive changes.
The Challenges In The Path Towards Holistic Learning
According to a primary research done by Pearson that collated information from Indian schools on the basic challenges they faced in creating a holistic network for learning were as follows:
– Lack of integrated tools inside the classroom which leads to reduction in the overall efficacy of the classroom teaching and learning.
– Absence of an inter-disciplinary approach that helps builds stronger concepts and skills that last for life.
– Learning tends to stop when the school gets over.
– Parents are inquisitive to know what is happening inside the classrooms.
– Assessment is still at a level of ‘Do more? Work hard.’
To tackle these challenges, with MyPedia, teachers are armed with a digital content & complete assessment/activity kit, so they can conduct activities smoothly, and measure the learning outcomes accurately
