PICT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
Memory, a word that distinguishes our characteristics from other living
beings. It is our ‘Memory’ that defines our existence, our everyday lives
and gives a substantial meaning to it. There are 2 major types of memories:
-
Short Term or Working Memory
-
Long Term or Episodic Memory
During education, learners experience, understand and practice the
applications of studies and store it in either of the memories. The mugging
up part is nothing but a short term or working memory which is never of use
in future. On the other hand, the practical knowledge and hands-on
experience develop an episodic or semantic memory that helps in learning,
understanding and applying knowledge throughout life.
No Recycling of Information:
With the advancements in education, technology and teaching mechanisms,
newer information and knowledge should also reach the learners in an
expected way. Hence, PICT Model School makes sure NOT to recycle the
information in the same old way but to educate the learners through
practical knowledge.
Not Celebrating power of memory:
PICT Model school follows the pedagogy of ‘Learning By Doing’ which ensures
that the learners are not remembering things but actually learning to apply
them. The school does not promote how well the learners remembered the
knowledge but how well they understood it. The school believes in learning
with a purpose of application in real world situation.
How this is achieved:
Along with content teaching, PICT Model School also scaffolds every child's
learning by showing them several techniques such as graphic organiser, mind
mapping, ‘Cornell Note taking’ method etc. which make learning easy during
metacognition time. In fact, learners are trained to analyse and reflect on
their learning and strengthen the concept themselves. This ensures that
they become individual as well as cognitive thinkers in future.
