Real World Learning - Anvesha Rana

   

Real-World Learning and Reel World Learning are the sides of the same coin. Real Learning is necessary, but Reel Learning is what seems necessary. We cannot be aware of our education unless and until we are put in a situation to test our learning. Exams are the only way to test understanding these days, but there are numerous other ways to check our education. School Trips are an excellent way to assess students' global perspectives and core values.

Gathering in one place and deciding what to bring. The memories of dancing on the bus, eating on one plate and being friends with teachers are the recreations of my school trip. Schools trips may be educational, but they truly make learning fun!

Some trips are just unforgettable because they are lived full-heartedly with the best ones, and the best thing is that while coming back from these trips, we have an extra-large suitcase full of all the memories in our Hearts.

The book My Good School is about the importance of real-world learning.

In our school, we learnt about the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. If we, in one of our school trips, visited Jallianwala Bagh, then I suppose it would be real-world learning!

Climbing mountains will demonstrate the fall in air pressure. Floating on the salty sea will explain density and buoyancy.

Our school, Gyanshree, implements this real-world learning. We go on school trips and do several experiments not only in science but in each subject we have a unique project to do! That one project connects the issues and helps us understand the importance of the real world. 

Once in 3rd Grade, we were learning about Mahatma Gandhi, and we went on a school trip to some sort of museum that displayed Mahatma Gandhi's life. It was fascinating; not only did I learn a little bit of the route to that place, but I learnt about history in another engaging way. So that was the fun about real-world learning. Not only do we have fun, but we know a lot more than we learn from our textbooks.
