Nurturing powerful ‘selflearners’
We, at Blue Bells, strongly feel that our
students must grow up with the capacity
to contribute to the social and economic
growth of our country. As is rightly said,
“Education is what remains with you when
you have forgotten all that was learnt at
school.” Thus, project based learning is an
integral part of our curriculum inculcating
in the students the inquisitiveness for
research. Students learn through handson
activities thereby strengthening their
critical and creative thinking skills.
The focus of the institution is on valuebased
learning along with building the
capacity in the children to use high-end
technology. The school has in place an
International policy under which the
students have exchange programmes
with schools in different parts of the
world. This helps them to understand the
culture of the regions and absorb their
unique learning strategies. The students
are involved in the entire learning process
and research and they are motivated to
be self-learners where their facilitators
provide them support to explore the content
further. The excellent result of the school
in the Board Examinations year after year
reiterates our faith in our pedagogy as we
believe in evolving an educational system
which caters to the innovative and creative
minds of the Gen-X.
Towards a positive and
personalized interactive
social learning culture
Modern day education is aided with
a variety of technology, computers,
projectors, internet, and more. Internet
provides abysmal knowledge. One can
learn everything one wishes to and can use
the search engines to generate information
with a touch of a button. Every topic has
been developed into a subject. Skilldevelopment
and vocational education has
added a new feather and there is something
to learn for everyone. Presentations, Data
Management, research work and so on
have become easy and the resources can
be generated for anything and everything.
Too much use of technology is hampering
the thinking process of Gen Now as
everything is easily available to them,
thus, entire learning has become a process
of spoon feeding which in the long run
teaches us nothing but the shape of the
spoon. We are being fed with facts and
knowledge where there is no time left
for self-analysis and self study. We have
all become tech slaves than being techsavvy
and this is an addiction which will
have a long term influence on the learning
processes. We need to learn the judicious
use of technology to enhance our learning
capabilities and knowledge base.
The need of the hour is to have a
knowledge based society with a perfect
blend of technology where learning
becomes an integral part of progressive
development. Each and every member has
to constructively contribute in developing
skills and resources where everyone feels
the ecstasy and joy of maturing and
growing in totality.
