Changes from the Conventionalism

WE all would have heard the saying from heraclitus, that change is the only constant. Its a statement of far reaching consequence. Though the statement has been applied to our lives in many ways, the effect on professional factors has been very recently been factored on.

The Growth in professionalism was in line with the baby boomer generation. Now as Gen X, Y and Z are passed, so has the practices begun to change. Companies want to change their policies in order to keep themselves with changing psyche.There is however an interesting thing to observe in all of these. In spite of resounding success of change in the industrial sector, we are yet to see the same changes in the educational sector. We are holding on to the tried and tested method of conventional teaching, afraid and perhaps rightly so about its success.

Theory X and Y represents the the successful implementation of the industrial change. The below images will give you an insight about the differences between the two

The education practices followed today is Theory X. Just replace management by Education, perhaps one can co-relate to the existing practices. As mentioned, there is no disadvantage with the the theory, what is holding us back is the step forward.
Here at NITIE, we  have an inititator, who dares to think for a change. The pictures below changes one's mindset about learning. A more practical way of teaching, without the hierarchy aspects binding us.

A picture is worth thousands words, the pics tell a lot . The scenes are from our classroom way different than the conventional ones.

Time will tell whether these methods turn out fruitful for us. It may enhance our way of learning, or perhaps leave us with nothing gained. However, time shall be a judge of it, and we shall be fools to ponder about it.

I end by saying "THE INTENT TO CHANGE IS BIGGER THAN THE CHANGE ITSELF"
