Be a Dosa ๐Ÿ˜‡ not a Chappathi๐Ÿคฏ...

 


Today the first period was taken by Gibi ma'am. Today we dealt with Learning Theories.

Learning Theories are of two types:

1)Association theories or connection theories or SR theories.    It proposes, if we get a stimulus, we learn, that is learning is only through doing.

a)The famous psychologists Thorndike proposed, Trial and Error learning  ( Trial and error learning means if the trials increases errors decreases.)                              b) Conditional learning ( Classical conditioning by Ivan Pavlov and Operant conditioning by Skinner). All these psychologists says that, learning occurs only through experiences. 

2)Field theories or cognitive theories. It implies that learning occurs only through thinking process. These collectively known as Gestalt Psychology.


Second period was Optional. Today we started with the remaining Reading and Refelction at first. Aleena has shared the experiences she has gained while reading the book : " Teaching Mathematics through Games" by Mindy Capeldi. This book is about teaching the subject mathematics through games. It is a simple book which makes learning of mathematics a wonderful experience.



Next was Aswathy, her book was "The man who knew infinity : A life of the genius Ramanujan" by Robert Kanigel. The Man Who Knew Infinity is the true story of a friendship between Srinivasa Ramanujan and G.H. Hardy that forever changed mathematics. According to me it is an exciting and thoughtful book. 

Both of them presented very well. 
Next Deepthi ma'am introduced new unit Global Trends in Mathematics Education. This unit is dealing with Mathematics teaching in Developed countries like Japan, USA and UK. And developing countries like India, Pakistan and Srilanka. That is a comparison of Mathematics Education in World wide. 

We discussed today about the mathematics education in Japan. Japan is an island country in East Asia, located in the northwest Pacific Ocean.



 



Last period was taken by Maya teacher. We continued the discussion about the topic Population Education. About demography : the study of population. The Zero population : Zero population growth is a condition of demographic balance where the number of people in a specified population neither grows nor declines.








Today's thought: " Be like a Dosa don't be a Chappathi".                                                            Because, if we are like chappathi... The stresses that occurring inside us won't get out and it will puffs up which may burst and make us miserable. ๐Ÿซ“๐Ÿคฏ                                                While Dosa, it will eliminate all the stresses occurring inside at the correct time through its holes and being like dosa help us to be more tranquil.๐Ÿฅž๐Ÿ˜‡                                                            

I won't forget these words of Gibi teacher. Thank you ma'am ๐Ÿค“... ๐Ÿ’œ

Being Gifted actually a Gift?

Image
 A new task given by Deepthi teacher : Watch an education related movie and write about the educational insight reflecting in it. Watching movies is always refreashing and enjoyable. Since it is a task now, I need to not only just watch it but also observe it in a different way, by means of the intentions. I chose the movie Gifted . The plot of the movie follows an intellectually "gifted" seven year old who becomes the subject of a custody battle between her maternal uncle and grandmother.  Directed by              :            Marc Webb  Produced by            :            Karen Lunder                                                   Andy Cohen  Written by               :...

Today was really an interesting day.  The first class was Maya teacher's. She started the class by reciting a few lines:  “ Anantham, ajnatam, avarnaneeyam, Ee loka golam tiriyunna maargam; Atinkalengandoridatthirunnu Nokkunna martyan kathayentu kandu?” (“Infinite, unknown and ineffable The way this cosmos moves round; What’s found the man, sitting Somewhere there, looking on?”) –  Naalappaattu Naaraayana Menon. And started the class on the topic Realism. We travelled through the Aims of education, Harmony and curriculum related with Realism. According to realism, God is a concept not a reality. And she taught us to find happiness on every little things which makes us feel good. Try to smile more... Next class was Archana teacher's.
