Education is changing from being teacher-centric to student-centric.  This shift creates several ripple effects on the subject matter, educational tools, student-teacher interaction, and student motivation.  This revolutionary shift is creating a generation of capable children that are impacting the world at a very young age.  The access to information and the use of several new instructional design methodologies are creating learning modules that are highly engaging and effective.   The animation is one such medium and this methodology is gaining popularity and usage amongst educators.  The use of story-telling and scripting is a fresh take on the traditional class lecture which revolves around theory and examples.  Animation captures the gist of the lesson and infuses it into a medium that children just can’t get  enough of. 1 Animation, however, is not just about watching or listening to a video.  It is so much more in PIE – The ...

The overload on books by private schools is almost double of what is required by NCERT. But with PIE there is no need for books because all the content of the textbook is inside a mobile application on a smartphone that fits in your hand. Students don't learn more just because they have more books! The huge number of textbooks required by schools is ridiculous and has no impact in a student’s actual education. It just seems as though children will learn through osmosis – just put the book to your head and it sinks in. They point of an education is to mold a child into a critical thinker and well-rounded adult – not turn a child into an encyclopedia. Facts show that with the rise in private schools in India that the requirement of school books has also increased. All this creates undue pressure on students. Students schoolbags are getting heavier year after year. For a KG student, the requirement is to purchase around 10 – 12 books that need to be brought to and from schoo...

We, at Praadis Education, believe that learning should be less stressful and more enjoyable. So, we utilize a wide range of teaching mediums to create a high level of engagement.

Chunking is an idea, in psychology, that states small bits of data when bound together to create a whole idea are more easily and readily understood as compared to huge amounts of data given all at once. Our modules are expertly written to create this exact impact - so the mind can digest new data more effectively. The scientific data proving this phenomenon states that working memory, the place where the brain controls data, can only hold a restricted amount of data at any one time. Therefore, chunking is a ...

Today education institutes are mushrooming in the city like never before. Every corner of every city has one or two education institutes. This is good for a country like India where population and poverty are soaring. This increased attention to educational infrastructure helps people to gain access to education. But do these institutes provide a top class education to our kids? Does our education system generate good citizens? Are institutes imparting students with enough knowledge and skills to survive and compete in this era? • Practical Approach - Education should provide more than just what is written in a textbook. It should also include some practical and hands-on experience. In today’s scenario, unemployment has peaked. Companies are looking for people not just with good academics but also with real-life exposure. Freshers do not have this experience but they still need to work.  Now, the best educational institutes are providing students with hands-on expe...

The CBSE has changed its examination formats to include practical assessments. The curriculum and preparation for such exams will no doubtedly force the student to adjust his learning technique due to this change. This is a step in the right direction – out with the obsolete model of test-taking and in with the more modern, logical, and pragmatic form of examination focused on real-world application.
