As a parent- have you felt like wanting to sit in the classroom with your child, so you know exactly what the teacher is teaching- how he/she does it and if your child is able to comprehend that right? Of course- it isn't possible, but that's something every parent wishes that happens.
How are we, as parents, ensuring that the concepts are taught in a more child-friendly manner and something that kids will WANT to understand and learn, and not just for the sake of it? We did that mistake 3 decades ago- why should our kids do the same?
We told how leading schools across the country are now resorting to a new learning tool that makes learning a lot more interactive and enjoyable. Read all about it here.
Here's a quick look at how MyPedia aims to redefine the Indian education space.
About MyPedia:
MyPedia- a digital learning tool by Pearson aims to serve as an academic partnership programme that redefines the way teachers teach and students learn.
Wow- sounds interesting. Tell me more:
We tell you what MyPedia isn't first. It isn't a stand-alone app that helps children learn something new. MyPedia aims at partnering with everyone in the learning process- from schools to teachers, parents and the students.
- Currently associating itself to CBSE and ICSE– schools across India, MyPedia integrates all the learning and teaching tools in a well-designed and scientific manner.
- MyPedia works on introducing a framework of continuous assessments, regular and real-time feedback that bring back the joy in learning as well as teaching making it a win-win for both teachers and students.
- They are built to provide parents and teachers with a detailed analysis of each student- with grade-wise, subject-wise and concept-wise tracking to help identify the gaps much earlier in the learning process.
- Each lesson in MyPedia is built on the 5i model of instruction, which structures the learning process into five phases: inception, ideation, inculcation, inscription, and inquisition.
- The 5i model helps in getting your child to thin and visualise concepts before learning all about them. It gets them to explore novel questions and examples and apply their knowledge and skills.
- The assessment modules in this cater to all range of questions from MCQs to short answers and even long answer types.
How do you know it helps your child?
- MyPedia promises an immersive learning experience through AR and VR that helps kids understand the concepts better than just rote learning.
- Looking for proven results? Schools that have embraced MyPedia have shown 8-10% gains in the post-test scores of students, over pre-test scores, for application and higher order thinking skills. Now isn't that what every parent wants from their child?
- Over 94% of principals and teachers surveyed as a part of the Pearson MyPedia study agree that this novel approach contributes to students’ positive attitudes towards learning. No more sulking when they sit down to study- now, that's a welcome move!
- The learning tool is convenient and easy-to-use for children, parents as well as schools. Gives the parents a clearer view of the lessons and how the learning aids that MyPedia offers complements what's taught in school.
- And it's not just for students- this digital solution provides PD (Professional Development) Programmes that aim at teacher development through workshops, online resources and lots more.
