Edging towards Learning Crisis

Learning is a process of gaining knowledge. The classroom is one of the dynamic infrastructures that processes learning from the learned to the learner.

Learning new theories and concepts in many fields from teaching faculties to students was the best data flow during those real-time conditions. Difficult concepts in mathematics, scientific theories and formulas, new researches in life science, irreversible developments in humanities were first well understood by the faculties and then parted as knowledge to students based on available teaching-learning techniques.

There was a well defines flow chart in knowledge transition from the learned to the learners. In the recent past this flow chart of knowledge transition seems to enter into distress. The rapid advancement in mobile communications has offset the traditional telephonic communication but ended up as mobile phones in the hands of individuals, especially students.

Mobile phones, being the most dynamic invention, have become a handy communication tool in use with almost all humans across the globe. This communication tool has brought the world closer to the user every day and every hour.

Mobile phones are also very useful to learn many concepts and theories, gain knowledge in various subjects, keeps the user always updated to real-time events. Social media keeps flowing many data for the users; it is for the user to decide which of those to accept and which ones to filter out.

When a new theory or a new break through happens in science, mathematics, life science, engineering, agriculture, law, medicine and technology any subject that is immediately made available in social platforms through interned.

These new developments in any field are accessed immediately and simultaneously by the teaching faculty and the students. The need for a teacher to know new developments first, then understand it well and prepare through suitable lecturing tool to transfer the knowledge to the students seem to simply disappear quickly.

Both the teachers and students have access to new developments in any subject. Both are equally knowledgeable in these developments. The need for a knowledge transfer from a teacher to students does not arise at all. Teachers may start to look at these real-time applications as a threat and students may start to look at these real-time applications as an advantage.

This real-time knowledge sharing on the social media has started to move the complete traditional pattern of education system edge towards learning crisis. Educationists have to wake up to the new challenge showing up fast and quick in the traditional education system. Flow-chart of traditional knowledge transfer from teacher to student seem to have disappeared.

It is difficult to undo any progressive scientific developments which have gained usage amongst people. Educationists have to build new teaching and learning models to maintain a healthy teacher and student relationship in the knowledge transfer process.
