No. I believe that Education
companies are taking advantage of a serious phobia in the minds of Indian
parents – there’s so much competition that any efforts will be taken to advance
their children’s education. Tuition was
the first step – students complained that their teachers in school were not
properly instructing and so the coaching industry came to being. The coaching
industry has boomed and some students have benefited as well. Now, you have
e-learning companies like Byju’s that are taking creating an online learning portal
or mobile app with videos and mock tests.
Both industries tuition and e-learning
promise one main thing – better academic performance through personalized
learning for your child. But this really
isn’t the case. I’ve been to tuition –
the coach covers material so fast I can’t keep up. And Byju’s doesn’t really ever answer all of
my questions. Byju’s does not provide
micro-learning opportunities where I can search for my problem topics and just
focus on those. They provide their own
curriculum and a student is only allowed to go through that sequence. Both of these options are truly missing the
component of education that is really needed – personalized learning and
holistic development.
Plus, both tuition and Byju’s are very expensive. As a student, I never needed any of
these. I learned how to study the
old-fashioned way: I read the theory and then practised question/answers. The more time I spent practising, the easier
it got to solve the problems.
There are pros and cons to this type of
studying – it focuses on specific problems and not the big picture. I could not take those skills and use them to
solve real-world problems, meaning I had not learned the material well enough
to actually apply the knowledge. This is
what a quality education should accomplish and this is what I have found in
PIE, The Complete Learning App by Praadis Institute of Education.
PIE provides truly personalised learning
with access to all subjects across all curriculum (state, national,
international). This M-learning platform
also features capability-adaptive AI that puts forward exercises focused on
individual strengths and weaknesses. Also, the design of the material is created
for high engagement and enjoyment – learning through gameplay is a new concept
in India but is recognized the world over for its positive impacts on intrinsic
motivation. A student that is excited about studying is far more inquisitive
than a student who is just going through the motions of reading and solving
problems. And game educational design
can be adopted for any material and any age student. Holistic development of character and
intellect are far more important than mastery in any single subject and this
development does not happen by simply throwing money at it. It takes effort and the use of an effective
instructional design that captures interest as well as providing quality
learning material. Don’t just take my word for it, visit www.praadisedu.com for more information
regarding this budget-friendly but yet still highly-effective best learning app for kids.
