I am reading a lot of education articles lately, and found that most of the education curriculum of the country is getting old lately, since there are a lot of things that is new and some are quiet old. Adapting this to the curriculum of the education system of the country will greatly help each students in specific field of intelligence.
Of course, adapting to these kinds of advancement in the education system will cost at first, but in my opinion can be really be an investment for a long term technological advancement of the country. Well, I guess not just technological advancement but also in educational competency of our education.
So here are my thoughts that should be hugged by the country's education system:
Some of you may think crazy why should video games be added on the curriculum of the country's curriculum. Just like they are saying, Video games are often at the center of negative press for their effect on children. But on my part, video games used as teaching tools can change lives and impart excellent skills.
Though video games will never completely replace other types of learning or standardized tests, they've got untapped potential, research say. Games can require higher-order thinking that goes beyond the constraints of a normal exam. If you would ask me as a gamer, I could say that even playing today's video games needs constant thinking and different more areas that could prove real useful outside the school. According to Leonard A. Annetta, students can develop different aspects like, leadership, judgement, networking, negotiation, collective intelligence and many more others!
My suggestion on what kind of game play genre should be considered are: RPG, Dating Simulation,City Simulation, Detective Story and the traditional board games and memory development games. As to a specific game, the country could consider, Minecraft and Simcity as to increase the student's ability on problem solving and analysis on different graphs.
Blogging
As a personal experience, I see blogging very educational in many ways. I learn different things, I see different perspective and many more. Blogging can help the student to be able to voice out what he thinks, develop different language settings, use different mediums ans many more.
Of course, this takes time and a lot of work to see the result, but if the country should invest in blogging for the education, then, for sure, many people can be seen as competitive in their taken field.
We should also take this as a platform to increase some of competency of each people in the country, not as something that we should force to the people. Of course, at first, they will be having a hard time to cope up, but if taught correctly, then all will be good and well.
What's Keeping The Government?
Adapting new things to the curriculum will take a huge amount of paper work and of course, money, just to initiate this kind of new technological education. Another problem that the country will face if ever they would embrace this kind of education system is how would they give out the necessary equipment to keep up with the requirements of this new curriculum. I could see that most school won't just accept this kind of system in their school, especially if the school isn't convinced enough that these advancement would help their students to develop more.
And of course, the one major thing that I see that could keep the government on initializing this curriculum is of course, the will to take on new things. Most of them are afraid to gamble their money or resources to this kind of system. though, I can't blame all of them for that.
Well there you have it, that is my insight about a new things that the country should embrace should they accept this. I would really be amaze if they do. I mean, I am not expecting that much, but hopefully they will.
