The whole purpose of education is to make it a really interesting and meaningful experience for learners and teachers, both. To appreciate the need and scope for such a project, we will need to examine the old and the new paradigms of learning.
What | Does What ? | Moves away to |
Old paradigm | New paradigm | |
Stuffing in information | Makes one's knowledge second hand, not validated | Drawing out from within, one's own validated knowledge |
Convention of society, books, experts | Shapes your personality according to outer influences | To live out of your own true being-the one that is never conditioned |
Preset curriculum, agenda | Feeds corporate, adult agenda | Learning is a result of what one need to learn |
Subject-pedagogical focus | Promotes linear, propositional knowledge | Towards holistic, multidisciplinary knowledge |
Imposed discipline | Makes one conform | Living out of freedom and choice |
