Prof.K.Prabhakar,

KSR College of Arts and Science

Let us think for a while...

We have teacher teaching a set of students

The teacher is knowledge giver and students are knowledge takers

Can we call it the industrial Tylorism of Education?

The Society had a paradigm shift

We moved from the era of Information Society to

Knowledge Society

What is the difference?

During the Information age the content is important

Now it is not the content it is the

Context

Content It is available in plenty it is everywhere www.MIT.edu OCW www.bized.org www.UnexT.com Open University of UK Books,CDs, Libraries

etc.

What makes the difference in Education?

It is the

Context

How do we do it With the help of different

tools of learning and with focus on Learning

Case studies,Reflective learning,Critical Thinking,Role Plays,Dialogue Based Learning, Project Based Learning

For this we need some kind of Statement of

Purpose. Why we need to do it? To nurture future business leaders and entrepreneurs in

various sectors of economy, government and not for profit

organizations with focus on value creation and

responsibility toward all stakeholders for a sustainable

society based on human values, ethics, Science and In

culture.

Key words we need to understand in the Statement Nurture Future Business

Leaders Entrepreneurs Sectors of Economy Responsibility towards

Stakeholders Sustainability Focus on Values, Ethics

and Indian Culture.

Learning is not covering syllabus, it is a process of uncovering syllabus and making students discover the syllabus. -Prof.PonnaVaikko

Learning to focus on dimensions of IQ, EQ and SQ. Develop passion among student

to learn than attempting to teach.

If you are satisfied with the basics ideas we will go further Welcome to all

suggestions to create objectives for next sessions.

What we are going to do?

We will examine one of the most important technique of thinking which can be used to teach students to develop individuality .

What we are not going to do

We will not analyse the typology of students and their learning styles

We will not examine the individual subjects

I will not attempt to teach anything, I will only learn with you.

What is the approach we will have to meet the objectives?

We will take a short break and go for an excursion to meet Prof.Robert.E.Horn and find his ideas on Critical thinking.
