"Growth is an evolution not an event" -
Biswajit (hehehe .. at least i own one to my credit haaa)
Being a trainer with a whole round experience of 7 years, i have had the advantage of meeting a unique blend of people of all categories children, youth, old ... far more mature than me .. yet they have to sit and listen to everything spoken! Well jokes seldom permitted ... non-sense discarded ... and giving the crowd an insight into stuff they have never before realised are the fundamental principles we have to adhere, and the levels to which we accomplish it makes us distinct. I hope all trainers accross would agree with my view point.
I have been a student sometime back and understand the hope and aspirations we have when we get into a lecture; seldom did i get that fullfilled. As a back bencher, where no one disturbs u and u are not under hypnosis of the prof. you have a fair chance to audit and reason for every word spoken .. LOGICALLY. hehehe most of my friends wud beat me up for that!
Neways, the linear approach or the hill approach as i would term it, is kind of progressive yet we fail to realise and reason for things at the very nascent stage and are impatient to see the bigger picture. We start with atoms and then move to bonding .. creating compounds and there it stops. Hardly do we see the end. We dont see/feel that our hand, books or bags as a mix of such compounds. It would then become more interesting. Thus there's a decrease in the interest and reason factor which tends us to become mere acceptors of Clauses/Rules. And then the external social, competitive force is strong enough to frame us into book worms. Had i been one i would be working with some of the sexy firms my friends are into! I sure do long for a tag round my neck ... hehehe
Years ago i started to experiment with my own way of teaching my kids. This was quite similar to the way i comprehended things. Lets say you gonna explain OOPS ....
"We are all human beings created by HIM. Imagine the time GOD might have taken to create each one of us so distinct .. Well i think even GOD might have been frustrated in due time. Instead; what if he decides something that is common to all of us, for instance all of have 2 eyes and 2 ears ... yet some minor distinctive features amongst male and female ... now i shouldnt describe that huh! These common set of features give rise to some characteristics we can simplify by a name, HUMAN BEING .... further categorised into Male and Female. This defination is nothing more than a CLASS. Now if you were not born will you as ALOK exist? Perhaps no ... but you are alive .. ALOK is present .. that is an instance or an object that can be felt and touched ... So goes with all tasks we do. ALOK can talk .. jump .. eat .. thus we have functions which are mere generic tasks any object can perform ..... " ... and so it goes further. Well thats a piece of running lecture delivered 3 years back ... now i guess it has evolved!
The point is if somehow we tend to show the crowd a bigger picture which is quite complex yet interesting we trigger a thought process in their brains which make them dream, think and search for reasons in a passive state. They are dissatisfied internally and are trying to answer the WHY in them .... HEHE .. the game is on. You specify WHY and satisfy with the rules in place and they turn Critic. Its been working and has worked not once but all times even when this man Harvinder, who is a TY Commerce guy can understand what a malicious code means and the way it functions!
Its not about completing a curriculum on time but triggering the spark of thought, which would lead to a bigger reason someday ... thats my experiment with my REVERSE APPROACH towards learning ... from complexity to simplicity .. and thats where probably we can ignite these young minds to be innovative individuals.
