Write a note on “Nai Taleem” with reference to environment education.
Answers
➡️ Nai Talim is a principle which states that knowledge and work are not separate. Mahatma Gandhi promoted an educational curriculum with the same name based on this pedagogical principle.
It can be translated with the phrase 'Basic Education for all'. However, the concept has several layers of meaning. It developed out of Gandhi's experience with the English educational system and with colonialism in general. In that system, he saw that Indian children would be alienated and 'career-based thinking' would become dominant. In addition, it embodied a series of negative outcomes: the disdain for manual work, the development of a new elite class, and the increasing problems of industrialization and urbanization.
The three pillars of Gandhi's pedagogy were its focus on the lifelong character of education, its social character and its form as a holistic process. For Gandhi, education is 'the moral development of the person', a process that is by definition 'lifelong'.
That's it..
Knowledge and experience are necessary, but attitude to students and teaching skills are important too. No one knows everything, moreover health sciences and clinical pracitce changes in time, thus life-long learning and continuous professional self-assessment is necessary. There is almost impossible to be a good health care teacher without clinical background and deep experience.
