Here goes, this is the traditional way you study. The way we have always prepared for exams and tests.
Take your books, take your notebooks. Sit down and get comfortable, but not too comfortable. Read the chapters, take down notes. Avoid getting drowsy or tired. Once you are done with the textbooks, take up guides, supplementary textbooks and question banks. Study, learn, memorise and try to remember all that you are ‘reading'. You might have to do this multiple times before your Class 10 board exams or tests, since what you read will escape your brain in no time.
Switch to: The new way to learn.
This one is new, yes, and not a large number of people are accustomed to studying this way, yet. It requires less amount of equipment lesser effort on the students' part.
But it helps students learn better, much better, in half the time.
No it is not a new technology we're talking about. It is only the concept of interactive, or two-way learning that has been popularised extremely fast in the current education system. So much so that, a lot of schools across the country have taken up the practice too!
In the concept of interactive learning, also known as a the flipped or inverted classroom setup, the tradition of learning through books is supplemented, to a big extent, with audio visual tutorials and exercises where the students are involved in learning and responding as a practice.
CBSE is one of the major Boards today in India. Also, the Board is known to take up the most revolutionised methods of educating students. The use of two-way learning or interactive learning can be best tested and implemented in a setup as flexible and modern. More so, for students of Class 10 and 12, who are to take Board exams, there are plenty of ways interactive learning can be incorporated in the curriculum.
How exactly does an inverted classroom setup benefit students of say, class 12. We took into account a few studies and here are a few evident benefits of studying in a flipped classroom setup.
1. Students are not rushed into completing their syllabus
When learning in a flipped classroom setup, there aren't any set paces at which CBSE board students study. There are visual exercises and videos which are aimed at getting Class 10 students to learn what they see, hear and read. Hence, there is no hassle for students mug up faster for exams.
2. Amount of retention is greater
It is a well-known fact that students of Class 10 in CBSE have a considerable amount of syllabus to cover before their Board exams. In such a state, remembering large amounts of syllabus is not an easy deal. With an inverted studying setup, students learn what they experience, not just what they read. With students listening and watching the topics in all their subjects, they can retain what they learn for longer and better.
3. Topics can be covered in more detail
Since every chapter in the syllabus has lots of topics, students can learn every detail of the topics through the visuals they see. This way, true learning is encouraged and Class 10 students can score better in their Board exams as well.
4. The classes can be taken any number of times
Since the classes are in the form of recorded videos and other content, students can easily refer to them whenever they need to. In case of real classrooms, it is not always possible to re-take lessons that students have doubts in. The inverted classroom setup is especially useful for CBSE 10th class Board students who have lots of syllabus to cover but not enough time on their hands.
5. More scope for online research and innovation
Since the medium of instruction for students is through electronic devices like computers and tablets, students can go further than the recorded material and surf the internet for greater amounts of knowledge within a few clicks.
