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 -

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...

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...

MONTESSORI PHILOSOPHY AND HOME SCHOOLING

In the previous article, we discussed the Classical method of homeschooling. And in this article, we are discussing the Montessorian Model of homeschooling. Montessori has been widely recognized by a large section of pre-schooling aspirants in the world. It emerged for the first time by Italian doctor, most prominent personality of her times, Dr Maria Montessori in the late 19th and early 20th century in Italy. Her empirical enquiry about quality learning of the child with lots of efforts enabled her model to be recognized and practised by most of the pre-school settings today. This short write up attempts to simplify how the Montessorian approach of education can be converted to homeschooling curriculum. Few aspects of Montessori in Homeschooling: 1. Philosophical perspectives of Montessorian education: The Montessorian Model of education is fully based on independence and freedom assuming the children having a unique potentiality on t...
