With rising cases of the coronavirus infected cases, the day to day life and various sectors have been affected a lot. Education is also one of such factors that have been affected due to this crisis. The novel coronavirus has put the majority of the globe into isolation and thus the educational institutions have also been closed as a precautionary measure. However, this situation has come at the most important time of the academic year where there are final exams, board exams and entry-level exams like JEE, etc. In view of the current situation, the boards, however, have postponed all the examinations, while other competitive exams are expected to be delayed as well.
In such a situation, instead of being lazy, we all have ample time to study and prepare ourselves for the examinations. Below are some tips that can be followed to keep up with their studies:
Set a routine:
To ensure that each day is productively utilized, a routine is a must. Following a timetable ensures that students are able to allocate adequate timings, to each academic subject, recreational activities, personal time and even family time.
Stress on practical learning:
Students learn more when they are assigned tasks hands-on. One can even push the boundaries of one’s mind by taking on something challenging beyond the constraints of the academic curriculum for the development of logical reasoning and problem-solving capabilities. Therefore, make the most of this time by satisfying your curious minds through real-time activities and applied practices.
Looking beyond the curriculum:
Not just the academics, a student can even catch up on some indoor-hobbies, which they usually aren’t able to spare time for, in their usual busy schedules. Trying your hands-on hobbies like painting, cooking, reading, writing, sketching and even introspection with regards to his life in general are some excellent means for the overall development. These are important life lessons that need to be acquired.
Exchange of knowledge:
Exchange of knowledge and learning is not bound by age. Foster intelligent and informative conversations with your family member in the house, discuss your learning with friends over calls and ensure this exchange is as engaging as the real-life classrooms.
E-learning acts as a ray of hope:
The existing situations are forcing us to challenge a nearly 400-year-old institution, traditional classroom teaching. Online education platforms play an important role here ensuring that the learning doesn’t stop. There are a variety of educational videos covering almost every subject/ stream under the blue sky. At the convenience of being at home, with the luxury of selecting a slot that is comfortable and with some platforms offering anonymity, it improves the quality of education absorption.
