Education of 21 st century is a relevant real-life and project-based education. Before it was ‘time-based’ rather than ‘outcome-based’. We need to develop value education in the modern world. The education should be such that it develops the head, hand, and heart. Our former President, Hon’ble Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam has said in the introduction of his book “The Wings of Fire”, ” We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill the world with a glow of its goodness”.
Nowadays a teacher functions more as a facilitator who coaches, prompts, mediates, and helps students’ hypotheses to develop and assess their understanding and thereby their learning.
