Sharing knowledge is only difficult, when understanding
student is beyond your reach… It has never been
easy to teach young minds but the difficulty only arises when the teacher
doesn’t understand child’s psychology, the problems he is dealing with, and the
difficulties he faces while studying.
A new study finds that skilled
readers do not rely on sounds when reading but rather retrieve words purely
from a "visual dictionary”. HOPE an NGO inPakistan, under the leadership of Chairperson Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla a childspecialist in Karachi, collaborated with Family Educational Services Foundation
to carry out a workshop in its efforts to educate the young minds according to
new trends and new studies. The workshop titled “Introduction to Pakistan Sign
Language Visual Dictionary” was about teaching children comprehend different
words through visual art. During this workshop teachers were trained and
equipped with IEC materials to implement this type of teaching methodology.
Teaching methodology includes teaching students approximately
twenty five new words every week, with the help of visual art. A
schedule/planner is given to the teachers to carry out the review process.
To check the effectiveness of this teaching methodology,
students of two classes are divided in two groups; a control group, where
teaching methodology is the same as it was before and an experimental group,
where the new teaching methodology is implemented. The module for implementing
this experiment has been handed over to the teachers. The teachers are trained
to comply with the experimental rules. So far they have been successful in
implementing the given module. The students are also responding well to the new
teaching mythology. The experiment to
evaluate the effectiveness of visual art teaching will be completed in a month
and post intervention tests will be conducted after its completion.
These types of interventions are significant so as to
understand the child psychology and their learning behavior. They prove to
enhance the learning abilities of students and they also help to address the
educational requirements of students.
, makes sure that its
students get the best quality education by providing them new ways to learn and
acquire best ways of gaining knowledge so that they can come at par with the
privileged of this country. HOPE Pakistan realizes the fact that to become a
successful citizen of this country, they will have to provide the best possible
ways of educating the students so that they become productive citizens rather
than a burden.
