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.

Is participation voluntary?

Yes, participation is entirely voluntary. Teachers can choose to withdraw their participation by not completing the survey or by emailing india@raspberrypi.org to withdraw their data by 20 December 2020. After this time, data will be anonymised and incorporated into the analyses.

Data protection and confidentiality

All personal data will be processed per the Raspberry Pi Foundation's privacy policy. As part of the survey, teachers will be asked if they consent to being contacted again about the research. If they provide their email address for this purpose, it will be used to link their data across the surveys that they complete so that we can assess changes over time. As soon as the data is linked, all email addresses will be removed, and data will be anonymised. The anonymised data will be analysed and presented in publicly available reports and articles. It will not be possible to identify individuals in these reports.

About the connection of this organisation with 'Edu Research and Insights':

When Progress Steals Our Voices: The Human Cost of Automation:

 - Progress is inevitable, we understand that. But as we embrace the potential of AI, let us not forget the human cost. Let us remember the designers whose creative fire was banked, and let us fight to preserve the irreplaceable heart and soul that fuels the art of writing.  For if we lose our storytellers, we risk losing a fundamental part of ourselves. The ghost in the machine may offer efficiency, but it can never replicate the beating heart behind the words. And that, is a loss we cannot afford. The hum of the new CNC machines still echoes through the workshop, a constant, efficient drone that replaced the familiar scratch of pencils on drafting paper. They are marvels of precision, capable of crafting intricate designs with an accuracy our human hands could only dream of. And yet, with their arrival, a quiet sorrow settled over us. The laughter and camaraderie of the design team thinned. Talented hands, once sketching visions into reality, now sat idle, their creative spa...

Teaching children to be creative:

 - Creativity is the ability to think about a task or a problem in a new or different way, or the ability to use the imagination to generate new ideas.  'Creativity allows us to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation. Creativity opens the mind. A society that has lost touch with its creative side is an imprisoned society, in that generations of people may be closed minded'. Being creative means you are open to expressing yourself and investigating the world around you. It can also mean you work to find a new and better way of answering a question or solving a problem. Children who experience stress may experience health problems and develop a bad attitude toward learning. The researchers also found that spending too much time on homework meant that students were not meeting their developmental needs or cultivating other critical life skills. Students were more likely to forgo activities, stop seeing friends or family, and not participate in hobbies. Old one bu...

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...

Train your Children in the way of the righteous:

Dear Parents, HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN. Please, carefully look at the list below and identify where you may want to make amends on yourself or on the young ones you are bringing up. Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if both parents are at the top of their careers. Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, wealth or your reach or influence: 1) Going to your child's school indecently dressed. (Think again). 2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher. 3) Cursing, using foul language or swearing words in front of your children. 4) Using makeup on children. 5) Dressing your little children up indecently (they loose their sense of Princesshood). 6) Putting earrings on your son's ears. 7) Your child holds the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct. 8) Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood s...
