Mathematics and Life 46 Skill building

 Skill building


Skill building is the next thing in line to get Respect. We have already seen the importance of giving great Result and Experience in recent posts.


Philosophy -  theoretical science - technology is a chain for development in technology. Only where there is effort on developing sciences, there is an outcome of enhanced technologies. Technology is a specific application of a scientific principle.


In parallel, target - method - skill can be seen. Skill is a medium to execute anything effectively. There are many interrelated skill sets which add up to make a Project. That, essentially, is the reason software development companies have very large number of employees whom they often make Parters in progress through shares.


Your bargaining power in an organisation is a function of how many irreplaceable skills you have. To give a parallel, with respect to all professional and works, if your maid doing mopping, cleaning etc demands a raise from 1500 to 2500 just now. You would rather replace her with someone younger, more needy and train her. But if one of your key employees insists of a SAP training to further Company works, you would not think twice, even though you risk losing her.


2012-14 I was country head Teacher Academy at www.aisect.org where we raised the Academy under AISECT - NSDC tie up. NSDC www.nsdcindia.org has identified skill gap in most skill areas. Going through that site can give you great insight into the scope of work for you too.


On a bigger canvas, let us efforts under Skill India initiative


Skill India. Initiative and what it offers can be seen here https://youtu.be/UotqQxErj08


The still bigger, global, initiative can be seen here 


Free in demand skill training The Google initiative to develop large number of skilled digital people has been explained by my friend Abhimanyu Bhardwaj

The craze, demand for skill building can be seen from the video shared below. Just see the very ordinary content, presented in simple way has got over 65 lakh or 6.5 million views

Coming to implications for the teachers. As a teacher, you divide your content into skills. Get the students exposed to them and master them. To illustrate, in solving questions of profit, loss, identifying the cost price, selling price, whether taking their difference, reaching answer if profit or loss these are concepts in the beginning, but with clarity they become skills to identify, find difference…..In bio sciences, geography, drawing skills are basic. Listening, reading, vocabulary skills in languages.


So,the more you will get skilled and make others skilled, the more you will feel empowered and in turn, empower your students.

Mathematics and Life 23 Improving school mathematics 8

  Improving school mathematics 8 The role of parents 2 Mathematics is the science of recognising, understanding, appreciating, creating and using patterns in day to day life, business, sciences, work life, technology. In the last post we saw how parental influence becomes counterproductive and even limits a child's ability to perform. Now we will see what parents can do to boost a child's morale. Besides not doing unequal comparisons, expecting too much from the child, making public insults, the positive things parents can do are Give quality time to the child Encourage developing a study routine,, schedule in general Informally explain where education can take the child Accompany the child of school meetings  Besides these broad tips, using lot of love and common sense, parents can help the kid enjoy her studying maths.

Mathematics and Life 95 Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education

  Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education Background Intelligence has been the factor on which the human race takes the highest pride and feels that it has Intelligence of the highest level. It is so because only human beings have all the five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch fully developed. Moreover, only human being have the unique ability to express ideas, feelings in their own written or spoken words. In the beginning of the 20th century a lot of research was done on human intelligence. Their types, levels, measurements, enhancement. In the early 1980s, Dr. Howard Gardener gave his theory of multiple Intelligences.  Quoting successful cases of great musicians, players, business tycoons, religious leaders who never went school, he proposed that just relying on academic Intelligence is not the way to define Intelligence and gave eight traits of distinctly different types of intelligences. They are Linguistic Intelligence - what we measure in formal e...

Mathematics and Life 45 Experiential Learning

The role of experience In the behaviour school of psychology, who treat, observe, measure only the behavioural aspects, modification in behaviour is considered learning. For example, if you are training your dog to get the ball back, it does it, it has learnt what it means to get the ball back. Closer to us, if the teacher has just taught the concept of odd and even and now asks her 10 students to arrange themselves in odd number of rows and they make five rows with two students in each,they can be seen to have learnt the concept of odd and even. With more practice, it can be further consolidated. The mega companies like Jio, Amazon, Google, Facebook and others too have what is called experiential marketing as their backbone. Using, AI and applying big data, machine learning, techniques they study you and provide experiences you have been preferring to choose.  In this video, the high energy, very motivated friend of mine Dr. Sapna Agrawal takes us to the journey of providing exper...
