Mathematics and Life 47 Identifying and developing passion

 Identifying and developing passion


Passion, popularly known as lagan in India, means what you prefer to do and want to be skilled at it. You may or may not make it your career too.


Being oblivious of terms like career, market demand and so on for a long time in my life (still I do not think I am much good about understanding both), one thing I was sure about and kept telling all that I would like to keep learning on the go for my entire life. That time, in the mid 1970s, in our minds, study was associated with getting a job. 


Nearly that time, came Future Shock by Alwin Toffler who professed to learn, unlearn and relearn as the survival skills. Near the same time, I read Lata Mangeshkar ji interview in Parag, that time a popular choice of the adolescents, in which she said that the real fun is being a learner for the entire life. These two great people impacted me a lot and till date, I am into reading, writing, learning from life, people, videos, social media and every other possible platform. 


Getting into B. Ed., even after passing M. Sc. (Statistics) was a logical thing to do, which went on to become, M. Ed., UGC(NET) and a Ph. D. Education in 1997. My elder daughter, Snehal who is M. Tech.(Artificial Intelligence) often appreciates my adapting the latest technology gadget, way of working. This all is because I am passionate about learning.


Nowadays, I am passionate about helping teachers to come out of the job, fixed income, security mindset and begin some side hustle to raise it to be a venture in reasonable time. The reader is welcome to explore possibilities through the Rich Teacher 5 Day workshop. 


Once you are dedicated, passionate about teaching, love for the work, kids is a natural outcome. Which infects them too. They also take assignments, Projects equally seriously.


But the question is how to find, discover, your passion ? IKIGAI is Japanese way of finding your passion

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...
