Our Pedagogy

Our take on the subject revolves around a single question - Does a single method of teaching really cater to all the learning needs of students?

BACKGROUND

A lot of research has gone into the subject and continues to be done. However, at eSchoolTube we believe that prior to defining a set method of teaching it is essential to understand that the teaching/learning experience is dependent on the complex minds of all individuals involved in the process (the teachers and the students). We believe, different approaches need to be mixed and matched to enhance the teaching/learning experience.

OUR PEDAGOGY - Shift from Rote learning to Concept Clarity

A teacher has to deal with multiple students with different mind-sets. An inquiry based style of teaching/learning might come naturally to some while a reflective or a collaborative style might suit some others. So, probably just one style of teaching might not suffice for all. To top it the teachers have their own individual style of teaching. Drawing from this it becomes imperative that the teacher incorporates different teaching styles to cater to different students.

This might appear difficult and that is where the Blended Learning & Teaching Program becomes useful. It provides interesting audio-visual aids explaining the same topic in different ways thus catering to all types of students at all levels.

The focus of the program, proven through our experience, is that interesting “VISUAL” content provides a good starting point to pique the interest of all students. There is no dearth of teaching styles developed by the best of educationists and there is no dearth of material available on the net based on these styles developed by the best of intellectual minds. 

The role of the teachers becomes paramount in trying to create a cocktail of such content that is best suited to each classroom such that there is a shift from ‘rote’ learning to ‘concept clarity’.

The e-classrooms have a mix of content handpicked by subject matter experts to ensure students and teachers are exposed to the best of content available. Depending on the teachers comfort level and the need of the class, the teachers can easily manage e-content through these e-classrooms and incorporate a multitude of learning styles while teaching.



SUMMARY

In short our pedagogy may be defined in the following simple steps

Ensure students learn to observe and absorb by encouraging them to consider practical life situations with respect to the topic
