Teaching for Results
Teaching is my profession and it is in a kind of crisis. Indeed, my students struggle with broken learning processes, teachers struggle with defective delivery process. Let me elaborate and provide evidence. In a semester long course though designed for continuous learning students show peak learning efforts during and around 3 IAs and final exams. On the other hand, teachers deliver each class as if students are eagerly waiting for immediate learning. This is a serious synchronization challenges for both students as well as teacher. On student's side, the teacher's delivery becomes a kind of non-stop noise or sahasra nama and for a teacher it is a kind brochure reading in front of a uninterested customer. NO teacher nor the students want any of these situations, but with current teaching/learning processes most of them are unavoidable.
Now I wish to attack this challenge face on. In other words, I wish to synchronise teaching delivery with learning consumption. In this regards, kindly ponder over the following questions and send your answers.
- What exactly is learner's problem?
- How can teacher solve it completely?
- How can teacher minimize student's total efforts of consumption and make it hassle free?
- How do I provide exactly what student's want?
- How do I deliver vlaue where he wants it?
- How do I reduce his efforts to solve his learning probem?
I shall be pondering over these issues for some time. Please do send u r points and pointers.
