Creativity in Learning

Most of the parents are worried about that their son/daughter are not paying attention to study and worried about their future. They usually ask the teacher for tips and tricks to get their child to study and score good marks in exams, the techniques might be the power coercion techniques which creates fear to get the child to study.

The simple question that arises that why to force students for studies rather to make learning process effective with creativity. The way the student is approached for learning creatively may make a positive impact on the student and his/her skills. The creativity can only be possible in the education sector with the help of technology. The edge that is needed to make the learning process fun and to develop skills are possible with the help of technology.

Technology development in the country has been at a good pace but the development in the education system has not been prevalent, most of the schools/colleges use the old ways of teaching and not using the technology to fullest. The question arises that does the whole education system has to be changed and made more technology oriented? Well, yes, the system has to be made the technology oriented rather than students using the tablets/smart phones/laptops for ‘Netflix and Chill’ or ‘Gaming’. What if we can teach the students with the help of showing videos and making them understand it easily rather than having the student mugging up the whole Textbook. What if we can use games as an important medium to teach the concepts with the help of gaming, that will make the process of learning fun and will develop skills for the students.

The technology can be used to encourage creativity and students will having a great learning experience. The technology will help teachers to impart the education in multiple ways and will help the students to express themselves. The traditional tools will get replaced like using pen and paper to fill out the worksheets or give a quiz rather than this the computer/tablet/smart phones can replace it to create an easy and sustainable growth.

The traditional education system was not going to be helpful and the need of technological change had risen. The quiz or exams now were conducted for students throw online tools. The old mediums of learning became obsolete. The external factor led to compulsory change in the learning process. India has seen many new start-ups opening and becoming successful because of the online mode of learning.

Now the technology factor has been added but with the change the development of technology cannot be stopped so what is next that can improve the learning process? The answer is ‘Gamification’. The use of Gaming to help the child to learn the topics. By using not only the old school games for learning but also for the digital games will help to create and develop skills for the students. The Gamification adds the fun to learning process which will help the students learn easily.
