पाठ्यक्रम के बहुत से ऐसे अध्याय होते है, जो बहुत बड़े और असानी से याद नही किये जा सकते. विज्ञान जैसे विषयों में तो छात्र उसे कन्ठस्ठ भी नही कर सकते. वैसे भी शिक्षा का उद्देशय 'तोता' बनाना नही बल्कि ज्ञानी (जीनियस) बनाना है. लंबे और नीरस पाठों को आप कॉन्सेप्ट मैपिंग के द्वारा अपने मन- मस्तिष्क में आसानी से बिठा सकते हैं. कॉन्सेप्ट मैपिंग दरअसल विषय की रूपरेखा है, जिसमें मुख्य शब्द या सांकेतिक शब्दों के माध्यम से वैचारिक आरेख चित्रित किया जाता है. अनेक विद्वान इसे विषय या अध्याय को मन में अंकित करने का अचूक उपाय मानते हैं और ये सिद्ध भी हुआ है. कॉन्सेप्ट मैपिंग न केवल सौद्देस्यपूर्ण नवाचार है बल्कि छात्रो के लिये पर्सनल लर्निंग डॉक्यूमेंट फ्रेमवर्क भी है, जो पुनर्स्मरण (रिवीजन) के लिये श्रेष्ठतम युक्ति है.
Zero-Investment Innovations for Education Initiatives
ZIIEI is an initiative of Sri Aurobindo Society. Working for over 55 years to transform Education, Sri Aurobindo Society has identified that the Zero Investment Innovations at grassroots in India can be one of the most game-changing accelerators in improving the quality of education.
ZIIEI has been facilitating wide-spread adoption of the most promising “zero-investment” innovations in Education, and helping the State to solve the toughest challenges of making education more effective and meaningful. Presently, it is proving to be a significant step in implementation of the vision of the State Government to establish UP as a role model state of Educational Transformation.
The ZIIEI platform brings together the scattered, isolated and yet-to-be–recognised individual innovations, and is making these collective and inclusive. Each school, educator, and student is intended to be part of a mutually-sustained ecosystem to address the gaps in education—with simple tools—and will earn recognition by the Education Community and the State Government for their successful ideas.
ZIIEI is inclusive innovation at its best also because of the fact that it brings together the government, the schools, and educators, non-governmental and corporate players. While ZIIEI, evolved in response to critical educational needs, has been designed under the guidance of the UP State Government, it is funded by HDFC Bank— a collaboration model that goes beyond even public-private partnership (PPP) to facilitate the best of ideas, research, knowledge-sharing and cross-sector collaborations.
