Losing an edge, Japanese envy Indian Schools

• JAPAN – Growing Craze for Indian Educationthink of India as world’s ascendant education superpower

• Bookstores are filled with titles like “Extreme Indian Arithmetic Drills” and “The Unknown Secrets of the Indians.” Newspapers carry reports of Indian children memorizing multiplication tables far beyond nine times nine, the standard for young elementary students in Japan.


The New York Times….

• Japanese praise Indian Education. Envy Indian Learners:

– learning more at an earlier age.– an emphasis on memorization.– focus on the basics, particularly in

math and science.

The Action Learning Formula:

Learning (L) occurs through Programmed Knowledge (P) or traditional instruction, and

Insightful Questioning (Q)


Learning To Learn

? Is teaching more than the conveying knowledge?

? Can teachers teach anybody anything?

? What is the difference between knowledge and knowing?

Recommendations

– Learning is not passive.

– Learn what the problems are.

– Recognize that learning is your problem (opportunity).

How ?


Learning To Learn(Article by Smith)

? Is it okay to make mistakes?

? Is competence really being able to solve problems w/o hesitation?

? What reactions do you expect if you tell a teacher (a friend) that you do not understand something?

Recommendations:– Learn to ask

questions. If you have a question, you can be certain that many others have the same question.

– True competence does not mean not making errors. It means well thought out judgment and decisions based on available information and experience.
