Discussion on Creative, Innovative and Skill based Education

Authors(1) :-Kavita Kumari

Skill based education is not a choice but a need in India where the demand for skilled professional is still very high and the desire to get skilled is low. Learners, parents and society prefer socially acceptable qualifications in pure academic subjects. Youth in the country still incorrectly believe that skill based education leads to low paid jobs and it is perceived to be meant for only academically weak students, school dropouts and for people in the lower strata. Some techniques are used in education: Brainstroming, collaboration, discussion, team group work, project-based learning, or anything could stimulate critical ideas, such as using question technique and six thinking hats of Edward do Bono technique etc. Lecturers should provide feedback for learners regularly. Educational activities can be planned for exploring skills: writing skill- good writing skills allow you to communicate your message with clarity and ease to a larger audience than through face to face or telephone conversations. Management skill, decision making skill, presentation skill, problem solving skill, develop communication skills, leadership skill, for exploring the skills, the instructional process can be designed that involves students and provide opportunities to share their knowledge and experiences. Project-based approach, evidence-based approach, performance-based approach, research-based approach and inquiry-based approach could be used.website, online social networking sites, podcast and web 2.0 tools can also be used for exploring coping skills for 21st century. Development of skill demands flexible classroom setting. According to Prime Narendra Modi, there is much that India can learn from experiences in the United States. A shared agenda of helping identify and implement improved ways to develop skills and competencies even at the school level could be an important area for collaboration.
