Coding & Technology

Problem solving is the most essential skill of 21st century!

/

Personal and professional life have got significantly changed in the last 30-40years due to urbanization, technological innovations, and globalization. All these changes have brought so many positive and some negative stuff into our lives. In the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) which is a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), genetic engineering, quantum computing, and many more, learning is a constant endeavor. And to be relevant to the 4IR industrial revolution our students need to build problem-solving skills to a better environment and human lives. How to build problem-solving skills? There are multiple problem-solving courses available online/offline for different age groups. In this blog, we are focusing only 6-21years age group students who are building their foundation to live successful personal and professional lives. Identify the problem In your Maths textbook, you must have observed “Solve problem”. Whenever you see any specific chapter-topic problem in your maths exercise, go deeper and identify the problem. Maths is all about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division but most of the students and adults have maths phobia because it’s required problem-solving skills to identify the problem and then apply the formulae. Understand the problem In real life scenario as a coder or mathematician, you need to understand the problem before giving the solution. Likewise, as a student, whenever you come across any academic or personal problem, 1st try to understand it. For example, you have to build a mobile app to track bus students so you need to do the required detailing to understand AS-IS and TO-BE processes to ensure End User expectations are met. Explore multiple solutions for the problem Solutioning requires lots of practice and experience. And this is the reason your teachers and parents must be asking you to do lots of maths and coding practice. You need to be a smart problem solver who gets the desired solution with minimum steps, time & effort. As a coder, you may require to write smart code which improves the overall end-user experience. You start loving Maths, Science, or Coding when your concepts are cleared for a specific chapter & topic so always emphasize understanding the concept before suggesting the solution. Always focus on the application while solving the problem With reference to the above mobile app example to track bus students, as a coder you need to prepare a detailed project plan to implement the solution. Follow the below steps: Prepare AS IS process Have multiple meetings with all the users who are part of AS IS & TO BE processes Understand end user pain points Prepare TO BE process Involve all the users while developing the application Explore multiple options while following the Software Development Life Cycle(SDLC) Similarly while solving any maths problem, follow the below steps 1st understand the problem Do require detailing to break the problem in small pieces Apply correct formulae Be cautious while doing addition / subtraction / multiplication / division Review your working before making the conclusion To be a smart technical problem solver, you need to be a good STEM student and a coding foundation will help you. Always focus to understand specific chapter-topic concepts to be a genuine coder. Happy Coding… Read more Educators need a genuine technology partner

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

In God we trust. All others must bring data. W. Edwards Deming

/

The above statement is the most important aspect while designing any system. Without data, most of the time our decisions are irrational and intangible which creates a loss of productivity and money. We at LearnQoch have kept the above statement at the center while designing the ERP/LMS modules for students, teachers, parents, and trustees. Any system which doesn’t have a mechanism to monitor, measure and analyze the processes, it won’t be able to deliver the desired outcome. Our education system has realized the importance of technology in the last 18months due to Covid-19 which has badly affected overall teaching & learning. Almost all the schools & colleges are running their classes online without having an appropriate ERP/LMS software. With reference to recent reports from government and independent research bodies, our students are going through lots of stress to understand the specific subject-chapter-topic concepts which result in a lack of interest in studies. Online collaboration tools are designed to replace physical meetings with screen sharing, not for teaching & learning. Currently, teaching & learning have become monotonous where the involvement of students is almost negligible. Now the question is “what is the long-term solution to transform current education system?” While deploying any technology in the schools/colleges/universities we need to incorporate the interest of all the stakeholders like students, teachers, parents, and trustees. All these stakeholders are interlinked with each other hence ERP/LMS system should be designed in such a way that it gives data on a real-time basis so individual stakeholder is able to take the correct decision based on data not on guts/experience. Empower teachers and parents so they help students to grow naturally not by force. Currently, the Indian banking system is doing 38196Mn transactions against 18653Mn and 2508Mn transactions from China and USA. This has taken over a decade for the banking industry to reach this level through technology similarly our education system can also transform learning & teaching through appropriate Ed-Tech software.

Learning Management System (LMS)

How to read the minds of the students to check their concept understanding on daily basis?

/

I must have asked this question to almost more than 1000+ principals, teachers, and parents in various meetings and interviews. 100% of them said, “It’s impossible to check the understanding of every student after each class.” This is the core issue that ultimately creates lots of stress on the students when they go to a higher standards where it’s expected to know the previous class concepts. Over the period, this issue becomes complex and student stops learning. We have ~300Mn+ students in our education system in K-12 & Higher Education and ~60%+ are not employable because they don’t have the basic skill set which is required by the industry. In the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) which is a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), genetic engineering, quantum computing, and many more, learning is a constant endeavor and to be relevant to this industrial revolution our student’s concepts should be clear which will only happen if we help our students to understands the basics of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). Schools, Colleges, and Universities should use EdTech software that provides personalized reports to all the stakeholders of the education system like students, teachers, parents, and trustees so they take all proactive measures at the appropriate stage of learning which helps students to understand the specific subject-chapter-topic concepts. Also, we need to provide personalized content (reading & video) for specific subject-chapter-topic so the student is able to revise the topic at her convenience. After learning is done, we need to take the assessment of individual topics to check the understanding of the individual student. After the assessment is done, prepare a scientific learning plan to bridge the gap and again take the assessment to complete the learning cycle. All this is achievable through technology and the involvement of all the stakeholders. Let’s remove the mystery from the education system and adopt a data-based approach to strengthen the knowledge of every teacher and student. Read More 90%coders do brilliantly in STEM
