Here is an instance of an educational ‘case’. These cases are usually problems or dilemmas that are not resolved. They however help practitioners to think deeply about the context of the problem, and engage in discussions at staffroom meetings.

Improving English writing skills of students is a challenge all teachers encounter. I discovered this challenge while teaching the students of grade 3. I observed that students were having a tough time expressing themselves through the written form of English. Though some of them could speak quite well in English, they faced problems in putting down their thoughts in the written form.

Most of us have dreaded solving word problems in math. Word problems, arguably, are the prime reason why many children develop math phobia. As National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards advocates, problem solving is an integral part of all mathematics learning and therefore we cannot wish away word problems in math.

“Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.” This was the definition of acceleration that I had just taught students of class 8. The response was blank looks. So I thought I would make it easier by using word associations. I asked the class what they understood by the word “rate”. Pat came the answers: ‘cost’, ‘money’, ‘price’… No matter how hard I pushed, I never got the answer for this context: time.

As a computer science teacher, one of my most joyous moments is watching my students eagerly looking for me in the morning assembly, especially on the days their timetable has computer science. The happy and eager faces as I enter their class and say “Line up…!! Let’s go to the lab…!” says it all.

This month, I would like to bring to you one of my favourite research papers. I never tire of reading it. Each time I go back to it, I get something more from it. But unlike the previous research papers that I have shared here, this paper is not freely downloadable. After you read this piece, and participate in the NOW BRING IT INTO THE CLASSROOM section, you may email me if you want to read the original paper. I can help you with that, by sending you a soft copy.

True learning happens when you can see the big picture. No knowledge, to paraphrase John Donne, is an island, entire of itself. Every little fact connects with another and then another. Educators are well aware of this and the framers of curricula generally follow this aphorism.

As parents, we don’t blink even once to admit a three-and-a-half year old infant to Lower Kindergarten. Sometimes, we banish our children to school even at the age of three because we do not want our child to ‘waste’ an academic year and stay back at home, playing and getting better acquainted with the family and the rest of the world.

Any information, whether it is booking your tickets to travel, history of your city, learning to play an instrument or perhaps repairing your own car, one can find information on anything without leaving the confines of one’s house or school. And yet, in this brave new world of Internet, finding relevant information is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Most of the work we do as teachers has to do with Impersonal Knowledge or shared knowledge. In our classrooms, we teach a variety of subjects or disciplines that belong to Areas of Knowledge (AOK).
