1. Schools in our country are producing more leaners than utilizers. We are taught to learn-by-heart and produce the same in the examinations, regardless of whether or not we understand the concept. While some are born smarter and use their skills in paying more attention to the concept, more students find it easy to learn and produce when they can’t understand. Rote memory still gets the upper hand in our examination system and that is not a good thing especially when conceptualization is compromised.
2. The reason why we believe what we see and hear in media reports, regardless of whether it is true or a mere gimmick, is because we were taught to believe in what is legible and tangible. We do not ponder upon the ways of life that have been thrust upon us for centuries. We would simply call it tradition and the most repeated exclamation of all – “that’s how it has always been.” Did we care to think why it needs to be the way it is? Not all of us would!
3. We have all read about global warming, environment pollution and its effects, the utter need of cleanliness in society but we do lack an insight into these concepts for we just read and wrote and confined it to the theories. Our students need to think and then visualize what it would be like to apply the knowledge in real life practices. Open book examination will promote these things that are much needed for the future of our country.
4. The assessment system that Indian boards follow do not help differentiate between highly meritorious students and average students since question papers are usually easy and of the rote and produce type. Too many students score highest percentages which further makes it difficult during college selection procedures. Open book exams would have categories of easy, moderate and difficult set of questions that will test the understanding and problem solving skills of students on varied levels.
5. Our education system is seriously lacking skill and value orientation, not to mention the kind of stress that students face due to the vast syllabus. Instead of focusing on understanding the concept, students are more concerned about covering the entire syllabus only to the extent of answering the kind of questions that are expected to be asked. Open-books tests would boost confidence of the students and they would concentrate more on understanding the context rather than memorizing them. Lesser psychological stress would also enhance the learning capability to good extent.
