C) Question on education, learning and teaching that he/she is facing.

Education is the most important and powerful instrument invented by mankind to shape and mold in desirable manner. It is education which not only transforms the human animal into rational human being, but also prepares and develops us to survive and adjust with surroundings so as to lead his personal as well as social life successfully. Education is a part and parcel of human life. Any modification brought about in the behavior of an individual, as a result of our interaction with the environment, constitutes learning. The sociological and psychological aspects of human life should be given due consideration. They can be achieved and developed only through the medium of education. In short, man’s goals become impossible to achieve in the absence of education. Therefore, life without education is same as boat without its rudder. Hence, it plays an important role in each and everyone’s life.

Earlier the education system was totally emancipatory i.e. the education was not according to the need of interest of the child. But, the present system is just the opposite of it i.e. impressionistic or I can say self-discipline. Now teaching learning process is kind of learning by doing, activity centered. The education is given as the need, interest, aptitude, attitude of the child. But somewhere this system is not that effective, because it leads to an attitude of careless, a feeling of carefree. Nowadays, children used to mug up rather than to understand it. They are more concern about marks that they are obtaining in exam. This is even because of the family pressure as well as from peer group. The education system needs to be change so that a man can prepare himself to earn his livelihood and support his family to the best of his ability. The political leaders need to find a way for educators to best nurture today’s youth as they are the future of our country. What qualities should leader possesses in the future? Leadership is not only about giving and following order, rather thinking critically and serving humanity. The future depends on inspired leadership and that every society must be very intentional about how it trains its leader.

Education should be given in such a way that it develops the all-round aspect of a child which includes physical, intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual and democratic values. Education, however, has another vital responsibility and that is to prepare a man to face life itself and all struggles, problems and joys with a calm mind and to be able to make appropriate decisions when a crisis arises. Even, after class 12^th a child could not make out what should he do next? Why he/she is not able to make out? Does our education system really make us self-reliant? I do not think so, because if a child after his graduation is not employed then it is obvious that something is wrong in the teaching methods. Our system manufactures employees but not employed. The kind of teaching that I got in my school days was completely based on theoretical aspect. The teacher used to enter in the class and asked us to read the chapter. As the chapter completed he/she take out his notes and write them on the blackboard. The way of teaching needs to be changed for the welfare and development of our country. For this methodology needs to be change, stakeholders of curriculum such as students, parents, teachers, society and government needs to be concern. Every teacher is provided with a teacher’s guide to help make his style of teaching more lively and dynamic. It helps in proper planning, presentation and evaluation of the lesson in the class. Teaching of various disciplines should be in an integrated form i.e. it should integrate all the spheres of education. Teacher should also integrate his/her subject with other related subjects and areas of study during teaching and should have utilitarian value i.e. it should develop children into democratic and ideal citizens. It should help a child in living a wholesome and fulfilling life. The knowledge provided to the learners through the medium of mother tongue. Students can no longer be fed information; they need to learn to be leaders equipped with the knowledge as well as vocational skills to solve unknown problems. The problem of present education system can be solved by constructive approach which implies to make students create or construct knowledge on their own. Knowledge is not information that is imparted by a teacher or somebody else but is something which is created by individual on their own by self –interpretation of the received information. So, for now our top most priority is to get a constructive knowledge rather than a bookish knowledge. This can be achieved by considering the needs of the individual, society and the nation as a whole. Each subject should be taught which will be able to achieve the needs of an individual. 

            A. Short reflective accounts of significant life experiences.

Our life is full of experiences which we experience throughout our life. Life is a kind of book which includes many chapters that reflects one’s behavior. The experience which I am going to share is related to my life when I was in class IV; I was around 8 years old. A student of class IV think only of herself, he/she is unaware of changes that are taking place in his society. The same case was with me too. I used to be an average student at that time I never give too much attention towards my study. My mother could not able to give a plenty of time because she has to manage our house as well as my father who was suffering from tumor. As I was not matured at that time to understand the consequences that can be there if I would not study. So as time passes away, exam dates came. I was too much worried about my exams because I was not prepared for the exams. As we all know that time does not stops, it keeps on going. Just before my first exam I got to know that my father is no more that line made speechless and I was stumped and freeze me for a moment. That day I came to know that anything can happen at any time. But as my exam was on the very next day I had to go for my exam. After all this the most awaiting day came i.e. the result day, I was very much ready and aware of my result because I know what I have written in exam ultimately I was fail in that exam. My mother asked me what is wrong with you. Why you are paying attention towards studies. Do you find any difficulty in any subject, if yes then please tell me to that I replied No ma. My mother told me that if you want us to be happy then make yourself a good citizen and be diligent. Don’t think of the past, live in present and work hard for the future. She told me that Have the last laugh i.e. to find success after defeat. These things helped me a lot and gave me strength to fight back any situation effectively. Mother are the best informal and an active agency of education. From the age of 8 till to the age of 23, my mother had sacrificed lot of things and helped me at every moment of my life. She has improved my intellectual capacity as well as character that include moral, cultural and spirituality. From each and every moment of life we learn something that helped us to lead our life with happiness. We should always try to extract positive things from not so pleasant situation because life is full of positive and negative aspects .The main thing is to see the good side of that situation. If one would stop herself at that situation then she will never get the chance to see and experience the goodness of the situation. As, Sir Albert Einstein says: “Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. It will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid”.
