Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 3- Prof. Kundu, former Vice Chancellor Himachal Pradesh University while delivering lecture on ‘Modern trends in Education’ specially focused on the concept of bilateral obligation, which is a new concept in education that has originated from African countries where the teacher has to spell out the objectives, motivate the students to learn and finally monitor their progress The students on their part actively interact with the teacher and show output and the teaching process is restricted to only half of the time and remaining half time is used for knowledge sharing cum discussion, he said. In this way teaching becomes bilateral obligation on the part of the teacher and the taught. He also stressed on the concept of homeostasis where balance between physical and mental makeup should be maintained for harmonious development of personality of the students. He also interacted with the students and stressed upon the three aspects of teaching – learning i.e. thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis which will be helpful in developing critical thinking and reasoning in the students.
