EDUCATION AND SOME HURDLES -6

 EDUCATION AND SOME HURDLES -6                  

 [Collective effort-4]

TEACHING INVOLVES AUGMENTATION.

Augmentation is a process of gathering information, interpretation, corroborative or contradictory viewpoints –as basic materials for any topic to be handled.

 In effect, it implies revision, periodic updating so as to sustain contemporary relevance. Over a time, a teacher who presents current opinion / data enjoys a respectful tag of updated freshness,  while a few teachers may suffer the ignominy of weather-beaten outdated presentation.

Augmentation has two distinct domains.

These are a] Assembling of relevant data and b] a lucid delivery. Though listed as two items the two are mutually inclusive and influential.

These are rather complementary in that, their synergistic value outweighs the individual values of either of them. In simpler terms, the suggestion is –any well-augmented information can be made more impressive by a fine delivery. 

On the contrary, however well-augmented, a message may lack sheen from suffocated delivery.  It is the second variety that encourages and breeds digressive trends among learners. That is why, I reiterate that ‘education is a collective effort’.

If teachers can ably plug such pilfer points, digression due to impaired presentation can be precluded outright. If wards fail to be attentive and turn digressive, certainly teachers are not to blame. Indirectly, in all such situations, teachers have no contribution to the malady 

So, it stands to reason to identify that successful teaching requires updated information presented in the most palatable form.

Necessarily, knowledge front shines better if the most appropriate module of delivery is brought into play every time.

Please stand by for more of it –later.
