About the survey:

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK based non-profit, and we work to get more children and young people around the world interested in coding and computing.

As part of our endeavour to create relevant and bespoke material for teachers in India, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is conducting a research study to understand the support that teachers in India need to teach computer science and ignite the love for coding and computing among their students. The study ties in with the Foundation’s broader goal of enabling any school to offer students the opportunity to study computing and computer science, by providing the best possible curriculum, resources, and training for teachers.

'Edu research and insights' blog is helping the foundation to reach more and more teachers. On behalf of them, we are reaching out to you for support in sharing the survey with teachers and teacher networks in India. We are looking to reach out to computer science teachers from across the country from private, government, and government-aided schools.

The teacher survey is a little extensive with the intention that it will help answer precisely what teachers in India need to teach coding and computing. However, it should not take more than 15 minutes to fill. As a follow-up to the survey, we will also be conducting a discussion with selected teachers.

Below are further details of the research -

Who is carrying out the research?

The research is being conducted by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The data collection and research has been reviewed in line with the ethical guidelines set out by the British Educational Research Association.

Developing a sense of contribution in children:

- "A Sense of Contribution" "Hello everyone! Today, we'll be exploring the importance of cultivating a sense of importance and commitment in children. As parents and educators, we play a crucial role in nurturing these qualities. Think about it - when children feel valued and believe their actions make a difference, they develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation. This not only boosts their self-esteem but also prepares them for a successful and fulfilling life. We will discuss practical strategies to foster a sense of importance and commitment in children, such as: Assigning age-appropriate responsibilities - Involving them in household chores, caring for pets, and taking care of their belongings. Encouraging participation and decision-making - Giving them a voice in family decisions and involving them in family projects. Fostering a sense of ownership - Encouraging them to pursue personal projects and participate in community service. Modeling responsible...

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...

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...

How do children develop sense of self-discipline & self-control:

- How do children develop sense of self-discipline & self-control, explanation with examples: Children develop self-discipline and self-control gradually over time, through a combination of internal development and external guidance. It's a process, not an instant switch, and it requires patience and consistency. Here's how it generally works, with examples: 1. Modeling and Observation: Children learn by watching the adults and older children around them. If they see adults practicing self-control (e.g., waiting patiently in line, managing their emotions calmly), they're more likely to adopt those behaviors. Example: A parent consistently puts away their phone during dinner and engages in conversation. The child observes this and begins to do the same, even when tempted by their own device. 2. Consistent Boundaries and Expectations: Clear, age-appropriate rules and expectations provide a framework for children to understand what is acceptable behavior. ...

Why Forcing a 4-Year-Old child to Write Homework Is a Losing Battle:

- For many parents, the moment a child brings home their first “homework” is a source of pride. It feels like a sign of maturity and academic progress. But what if that pride is misplaced? What if the struggle to get a four-year-old to sit still and write is actually damaging their relationship with learning? It's time to challenge the outdated notion that early homework is beneficial and embrace the powerful, evidence-based alternative: play. Forcing a four-year-old to do homework, especially writing, is developmentally inappropriate and counterproductive. At this age, a child's brain and body are not yet ready for the fine motor skills required to hold a pencil correctly and form letters. The act can be physically frustrating, leading to a poor grip and a lifelong aversion to writing. More importantly, it can cause emotional distress. When a child is pushed to do a task they are not equipped for, it can lead to anxiety, meltdowns, and a feeling of inadequacy. We are inadvert...
