Parents or teachers who complain about their children's dullness should learn more about learning styles:

 Does your child have a dull mind?

Learn about learning styles!

The fact that children are more or less intelligent has nothing to do with their parents' educational ability or their birth unless the child is born with a disease that can adversely affect the learning process.


Then why do some children learn quickly during the teaching process while some have difficulty in learning or memorizing the same lessons?


 This question is related to educational psychology, which is a regular science and is regularly discussed in every curriculum of teachers.


According to educational psychology, a child's learning style differs from one another. One of the problems of our education system is that teachers start teaching all children in the same way because they are not familiar with these different learning styles or do not take care of them during teaching. Due to which some children understand the matter while some are unable to understand it. This is how children are labeled as intelligent or dull-minded. The real situation is very different. This requires understanding what learning styles are and how they affect our learning process.


We all use our different senses during the learning process and process the information from these senses into useful information after processing it in the brain. It is as if the process of learning begins with the use of the senses through which we receive information.


Depending on which of your senses you rely on most to get information, your specific learning style comes into being. If you recognize these learning styles can be no reason to think that the process of teaching a child to be deprived of learning.


Great learning styles, according to research three. These three are combined to represent a word called VAK. Details below.


1- V means Visual, meaning that children with this learning style rely more on their sense of sight to learn and they learn more when the teaching materials include pictures, maps, graphs, tables and so on. 


1- A means auditory, meaning that children with this learning style rely more on their sense of hearing than their other senses to learn and learn better when lectures, audio cassettes are included in the teaching materials. Include more stories, stories, etc. that children can understand by listening and then make appropriate pictures with them in their minds.


1- K means Kinesthetic, meaning that children with this learning style prefer to feel and learn by moving their hands and feet instead of seeing and hearing. The best way to teach them is to engage them in practical activities. You will also remember to walk around the room repeatedly while reading to memorize tables or paragraphs in your childhood.


It is not necessary for a child to have only one specific learning style, but still one of these three learning styles will prevail in every child's learning style. The question now is how to organize the teaching materials and teaching methods so that they have the capacity and capacity to address these three learning styles.


The answer to this question is to first train the curriculum developers to identify different learning styles and compile textbooks and other materials based on them.


After this, training of teachers should be arranged so that they can take the children with these three different learning styles with them during the teaching and do not rely on any one learning style during the teaching process. If teachers have proper training and teach with these different learning styles in mind, no child will need to be labeled as intelligent or dull-minded.


How do you know which child's learning style is?


There are many tests on the Internet that can help you determine your own, or someone else's, learning style. But does every child's learning style need to be known for effective teaching? If so, that's great. And even if they are not, at least in the formulation of teaching materials and in the process of teaching, the fact that not all children have the same learning style should be taken into account. Be done For example, a short lecture on any topic, then a question and answer, then an exercise, a number of physical activities in which children can learn the practical application of the topic. If these methods are used during teaching, all children will understand the subject according to their own learning style.


(This information regarding learning styles applies not only to children, but also to adults.)


 At the same time, David Colb's four learning styles, and the theory of multiple intelligences, can be helpful in understanding children's educational psychology. Before labeling your own or someone else's child a dull mind, be sure to ask if their teachers have addressed their specific learning style during the teaching process.

# Beyond the Answer Key: Teaching Children *How* to Think

 - Nurturing Thinkers, Not Memorizers:  A Guide for Educators Think back to the last time a child asked you a "Why" question. Why is the sky blue? Why do birds fly? Why do we have to sleep? Young children can ask dozens of questions an hour. It is their way of mapping out a massive, unfamiliar world. As parents and educators, our natural instinct is to give them an immediate answer. We want to be helpful, and we want to share our knowledge. But when we provide the answer right away, we accidentally turn off their mental engine. ### What to Think vs. How to Think When we give an instant answer, the child learns *what* to think. They receive a static fact to memorize. But when we pause and invite them into the discovery process, they learn *how* to think. They learn to evaluate clues, connect dots, and build logic. The magic isn't in the destination (the answer); the magic is in the journey (the thinking). ### The Four-Word Shift The next time a child brings you a curious q...

REOPENING THE SCHOOL- SOME SUGGESTIONS (Suggestions via- IIEP_UNESCO):

- The COVID19 pandemic has led to another crisis of reasonable ideas in order to resolve all sorts of emerging issues in front. Educational plannings in times of crisis seem to be another challenge because of the judgmental dilemma about the importance of education as well as health.  However, focusing on balancing the importance of both the aspects- education and health is focal. What and how implementable plannings could be done is the big question to be responded by most of the concerned authorities and stakeholders. Currently, school founders, principals, administrators and concerned heads are considering many ways to win this situation.  There are very key areas which the school leaders should consider- Finance, Infrastructure and Human resources. Here we are discussing some ideas and suggestions that have been addressed regarding the reopening of the schools (Please refer the full resource from UNESCO at the end of this article).  Image source: ChristopherSalem 1.

Seven key differences between Parenting in India and Dutch:

 - A Dutch mother, Ivana, recently shared her experiences living in Mumbai for nine years, highlighting seven key differences between parenting in India. She emphasises that neither approach is "better" or "worse," but rather they involve different trade-offs.  Key Differences in Parenting: According to her viral reflections on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWJv7RLDM-z/), the primary contrasts include: * Community vs. Solo Marathon: In the Netherlands, parenting often feels like a "solo marathon". In Mumbai, she experiences a "real village" where family, neighbours, and the building community are always available to help. * Independence vs. Interdependence: Dutch culture raises children to be "fierceley independent," such as cycling to school alone at age eight. Indian parenting focuses on interdependence and being part of a larger, supportive system. * Child-Friendly Public Spaces: She notes that children in India are acce...

School Operations Manual:

- A school is a complex organization where multiple activities should co-ordinate in sync. Each stake holder - Management, Teacher, Students, Parents and supportive staff, everyone has an important role to play. All these stake holders need to know their job, roles and responsibilities, and also the structure, policy and procedure of their work. Thus a team has come up with a 'school operations manual' to support schools in designing their school policies and procedures, which will help to strengthen the school system.  This manual outlines the significant policies and procedures covering a wide spectrum of activities in a school, starting from affiliation, curriculum planning, extra-curricular activities, value education, school administration, statutory compliances, HR, etc.  The core objective of this manual is to communicate, describe and help in implementing the best practices, policies and procedures so as to bring standardisation in our schools through collaboration.

Zero means non-existence. As long as a person is trying, how can they be zero?

 - In Russia’s education system, the highest possible score in an exam is 5. And here’s the surprising part—even if a student submits a completely blank answer sheet, they are still awarded 2 marks. The first day I learned this at Moscow University, I was genuinely stunned. To me, it felt illogical. If someone writes nothing at all, shouldn’t they receive a zero? Driven by curiosity, I asked Dr. Theodor Medrayev, “Sir, how does it make sense that a student who writes nothing still gets 2 marks?” Dr. Medrayev smiled. Then, in a calm and thoughtful voice, he said, “Zero means non-existence. As long as a person is trying, how can they be zero? Think about it—how much effort does a student put in just to show up to class? Maybe they woke up before dawn in freezing cold, traveled a long distance standing on a bus, tram, or train. Even if they submit a blank paper, the fact that they came means they tried. So tell me—how can I give them zero?” He continued, “Maybe the student couldn’t wr...

The Secret to Lifelong Genius: Understanding Fluid vs. Crystallized Intelligence:

  The Science of Lifelong Intelligence: Fluid vs. Crystallized The Science of Lifelong Intelligence: Fluid vs. Crystallized Why is it that a 20-year-old can master a new app in minutes, yet a 60-year-old is often the one you turn to for a complex business strategy or a nuanced historical perspective? The answer lies in a foundational psychological theory proposed by Raymond Cattell in the 1960s (Cattell, 1963). He discovered that human intelligence isn't just one single "score"; rather, it is divided into two distinct systems: Fluid Intelligence (Gf) and Crystallized Intelligence (Gc) (Cattell, 1971). 1. Fluid Intelligence (Gf): The "Engine" Think of Fluid Intelligence as your brain's raw processing power. It is the capacity to think logically and solve problems in entirely novel situations, independent of what you’ve learned in school (Simply Psychology, 2024). The Mecha...
