Real Learning Dosen't Occur In A Classroom

Real learning doesn't occur in a classroom

                                                          

I'm here today to talk about an interesting topic. Today I will talk about how and why Real Learning Doesn't Occur in Classrooms. How do we define real learning? I believe Real Learning occurs throughout life. With each passing day, we learn valuable lessons that would last us our entire lifetime.

Also school education cannot be completely ignored as it provides a basic idea it let the students to taste the essence of various subjects. But education dosen’t happen in classroom. Learning that occur in the classrooms is just for academic purpose to grab marks. It dosen’t just happen when tou are trying to remember what is speed of light or who was the king of france or England in 1566 etc.

The real goal of education or learning is to prepare a child to reach his adulthood, means to become a person with good morals, behavior and good problem solving and decision making skills.It happens by doing things and observing facts by yourself . So the first learning starts from home.For example we see our parents respecting their elders and learns to do the same.. These are the morals we learn from outside the classrooms. During our childhood parents will solve/guide us to solve our problems. To succeed in this we should know how to find the needed information.

                                                                           

So if not in classroom then, where is the best place for real learning??? Yes home first... But all the life we will not be sheltered inside the home under the wings of our parents... We have a world around us, people around us.. . The real world is the best place to learn and also as the famous saying "experience is the best teacher"... Some of us have learned many things from our good/bad experience which we didn't from a classroom.The real education will not happen in a place where the environment is actually controlled by a Teacher.

And who should actually direct a child in his learning ??? "Matha Pitha Guru Daivam" itself depicts who is our first teacher... The Guru comes only third.. This confirms that home is our first school and parents are our first teachers in this world.. But the parents may have some restrictions in having expertise in certain things That is the reason the children are being sent to school.The real learning does not ends till a person dies. Only class room trainings or the courses that we take will finish within a stipulated time period..

A best example of learning through observation is King Solomon who lost his battle 18 times and after that learned his lesson by seeing a spider weaving its net successfully after several times. The next battle he won. The another best example of a real learning is Abraham Lincon who became the American President among the blacks. Around us also are people who have had real education to face the life... Many of our great grandfathers may not have seen schools at all.. But still they lived successfully in their life. Living in the real world have enabled them for that.

So let me conclude that its high time we guide our children to learn things from the world outside also apart from the academics.

And I will end up with a famous quote by the  reformer of education, Albert Einstein “Education is not the learning of facts but training of mind to think".
