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.

The Blueprint for Global Learning: Aligning Outcomes, Curriculum, and Assessment for a Brighter Future:

 - From the bustling classrooms of a city to the remote learning hubs across continents, education stands as humanity's most powerful tool for progress. It is the engine of innovation, the guardian of culture, and the pathway to individual and collective fulfillment. Yet, the true potential of any educational system, anywhere in the world, hinges on a fundamental, often overlooked, principle: the  seamless alignment of learning outcomes, curriculum, and assessment. This isn't merely an academic ideal; it's the  indispensable blueprint for designing, delivering, and systematically evaluating an education system that genuinely serves its purpose. The Three Pillars of Purposeful Learning Imagine education as a purposeful journey. Learning Outcomes  are our  destination . They are the clear, measurable statements that define what learners are truly expected to know, understand, and be able to do upon completing a course, a year, or an entire program. They articulate...

Acceptance is the warm embrace that tells a child, "You belong. You are enough"-

 - The Echo of Belief: The Single Most Powerful Gift for a Child's Self-Esteem In the delicate, intricate process of a child's growth, while countless elements play a part – opportunities, friendships, achievements – there stands one truth above all, a singular, luminous thread that weaves resilience and confidence into the very fabric of their being.  The  single most important factor in maintaining a child’s self-esteem is the unwavering presence of an adult who consistently demonstrates respect and acceptance, and who provides support that powerfully conveys the message: "I believe in you." The Foundation of Respect and Acceptance Imagine a child, navigating a world filled with new challenges, unexpected failures, and a constant stream of information to process. In this evolving landscape, what they crave most, even before praise, is to be seen, to be heard, and to be accepted exactly as they are. When an adult – be it a parent, a teacher, a Mosi, or a Buwa – treat...

Classroom: A place where the primary goal is not to fill a bucket, but to light a fire-

 - ### The Light in Their Eyes Do you remember it? That spark. The unbridled curiosity of a child who asks "why" for the tenth time, not to be difficult, but because their world is a universe of wonders waiting to be discovered. The five-year-old who spends an entire afternoon building a lopsided castle of mud and leaves, not for a grade, but for the sheer joy of creating. The eight-year-old who reads under the covers with a flashlight, lost in a world far beyond their bedroom walls. This is the light. It is the raw engine of passion, the bedrock of innovation, and the very soul of a lifelong learner. And I fear, with every fibre of my being, that our schools are becoming places where this light goes to die.

We have created a world within classroom walls where the landscape is paved with textbooks and the horizon is blocked by the looming shadow of the next exam. Chi...

Addressing Modern Disciplinary Challenges in Schools:

 - It's clear that schools today face unique disciplinary hurdles, particularly with the current generation of students. The traditional methods of lectures and assessments often fall flat, especially with boys, who seem to thrive on an activity-based approach to learning. This shift in engagement styles can make education feel like a forced endeavor, leading to a noticeable lack of interest and a decline in respect for manners and discipline. A significant concern is the limited parental cooperation. Many parents appear to feel their children are beyond their control, even suggesting corporal punishment as a solution and seemingly expecting schools to bear the sole responsibility for their children's tarbiyah (upbringing and moral development). This creates a challenging environment for educators. Compounding these issues is the evolving role of teachers. Modern educators, while dedicated, may not possess the same emotional resilience as previous generations, making it difficu...

Discipline rooted in connection builds emotional safety and also encourages internal motivation:

 - *“Discipline isn’t about control. It’s about connection.”* _This powerful statement shifts the traditional perspective of discipline from authority-based control to relationship-based guidance. True discipline is not about instilling fear or asserting dominance, it’s about helping someone grow by building trust, understanding, and connection._ 🧠 What It Means: • Control-based discipline says: “Do what I say, or face punishment.” • Connection-based discipline says: “I understand what you’re going through. Let’s learn from this together.” The goal is not to force obedience but to nurture self-discipline, empathy, and responsibility. 🌱 *_Example 1: A School Principal & a Misbehaving Student*_ • Control Approach: The principal suspends the student without asking why he was misbehaving. • Connection Approach: The principal calls the student in, sits beside him, and says, “You’re usually respectful. What happened today? Is something bothering you?” 🔁 *Outcome:* ...

Education system in Greece and Rome in ancient times: (In Urdu)-

یونان اور روم میں نظامِ تعلیم ڈاکٹر عرفان حبیب مغربی تعلیم کی تاریخ کا آغاز حضرت عیسیٰؑ سے سیکڑوں برس پہلے، یونانی قوم کی تعلیمی سرگرمیوں سے ہوتا ہے۔ اس تاریخ میں بیسویں صدی کی شروعات تک ایک تسلسل پایا جاتا ہے۔ ابتدائی دور میں یونانی شہری ریاستوں میں رہتے تھے۔ شروع ہی سے ان کے یہاں تعلیم کو بڑی اہمیت دی جاتی تھی۔ اچھے شہری تیار کرنے کے لیے تعلیم ضروری تھی۔ یہ ریاستیں دشمنوں میں گھری ہوئی تھیں اور اکثر اندرونی خطروں کا بھی سامنا کرنا ہوتا تھا۔ اس لیے شہریوں کی اس طرح سے تربیت ضروری تھی کہ وہ اندرونی اور بیرونی خطروں کا اچھی طرح مقابلہ کر سکیں۔ اس یونانی سماج کی بنیاد، غلامی کے نظام پر تھی جس میں غلاموں کی تعداد آزاد شہریوں سے کہیں زیادہ تھی۔ تجارت اور ہاتھ سے کام کرنے کو معیوب سمجھا جاتا تھا اور یہ کام غلاموں سے لیے جاتے تھے، اس لیے شہریوں کو کوئی ٹیکنیکل تعلیم حاصل کرنے کی ضرورت نہیں تھی۔ شہری ریاستیں کئی باتوں میں ایک دوسرے سے مختلف تھیں اور اس لیے ان کے تعلیم کے مقاصد بھی جدا جدا تھے مثلاً سپارٹا اور ایتھنز کے تعلیمی نظام بالکل الگ الگ تھے۔ سپارٹا کے شہری اپنے علاقے می...

Online Schools and eclectic curriculum:

 - Online schools, while offering flexibility and accessibility, come with several disadvantages, particularly when they employ a mixed eclectic curriculum. An "eclectic curriculum" typically means drawing from various teaching philosophies and methods, aiming to personalize learning. While this sounds good in theory, in an online setting, it can lead to unique challenges. Here are the disadvantages of online school, especially one offering a mixed eclectic curriculum: I. General Disadvantages of Online School:  * Lack of Face-to-Face Interaction and Social Isolation:    * Reduced Engagement: Students miss out on spontaneous discussions, immediate feedback, and the dynamic energy of a physical classroom.    * Isolation: The absence of in-person interaction with peers and instructors can lead to feelings of loneliness, reduced motivation, and a diminished sense of community.    * Limited Social Skill Development: Opportunities for developing crucia...
