Doon Public School: Education Makes Excellence A Habit
Social interaction plays a fundamental role in the process of cognitive development and social learning precedes development. Every function in the child’s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people and then inside the child.
Man uses tools that develop from a culture,
such as speech and writing, to mediate with their social environments. Initially children develop these tools to serve solely on a social level, to communicate their needs. Many schools have traditionally held an instructive method in which a teacher or lecturer 'transmits' information to children. But modern day schools follow a different way of teaching. They promote learning contexts in which children play an active role in learning. The roles of the teacher and children are therefore shifted, making learning a reciprocal experience for the children and teacher.
The whole education system today is going through a great reform. Schools focus on providing an environment to the children where they can be comfortable and can feel free to accept the new transition.
