Indian Students' Learning Will Be Improved Thanks To Technology

Entering a new year, we should see how important technology is to educate children and how they learn. It doesn't matter that children learn at school or go to school at home, the way they are taught is what determines their success. These are important EduTech trends that people need to pay attention to in 2019:

Continue to implement the online and offline bundled model

The ability to access technology is one of the issues affecting EduTech's development process. Besides, the difference between teacher and student ratio is the problem that India is currently facing. According to a study by Azim Premji Foundation found that, in 1,887 schools in Karnataka, the rate of Pupil - to - Teacher (PTR) in classes located in the middle of 15 and 20 brings the best results in learning. But when this rate is increasing, their quality of learning is decreasing. There are currently about 1.5 million kindergartens to grade 12 schools in India, and there are about 253 million students.

The current national PTR is 24: 1 for elementary schools and secondary schools are 27: 1. The disparity in the number of teachers and students associated with Internet access is a huge challenge that Indian students currently face. Because these difficulties still exist, the online and offline packaging model will be maintained in EduTech market this year.

Gamification in Education

When adults put too much emphasis on learning for children they feel heavy and involuntary which will reduce their quality of learning and understanding. Traditional learning methods are never suitable for everyone. This is also one of the reasons why gamification has developed so rapidly in education.

In order for students to be more interested in learning and more comfortable in acquiring knowledge at school, it is important and necessary to bring games into lessons and classes. Talking about the understanding of technology devices, children today are much better than many adults because they spend a lot of time playing games on a variety of devices. Students can participate at the individual level with personal messages through gamification.

Learning will be like playing games, students will fail and learn experiences and practice hard to overcome. With this method, students will get external motivation as a reward for this work, and they will receive feedback immediately. The high interaction for students will be effective and therefore gamification is expected to become one of the important trends in EduTech this year.

Keep growing in immersive learning

Immersive learning is always highly effective for students of all ages and immersive tech will enhance the development of this learning method. The world EduTech always uses technology as the main tool for development. In 2019, immersive technology will be facilitated to become more popular and appear in the Indian market.

People in the country are increasingly exposed and have more access to the internet thanks to the improvements from internet service providers. Researchers at Gartner predict that 70% of businesses will experiment with immersive technologies in various ways by 2020. This has a positive impact on EduTech's development process. Plus, the audience also benefited from this.

Machine learning and Augmented Reality

Virtual reality is currently one of the biggest growth potentials in technology worldwide. In 2019, students will be facilitated to expose the world of enhancing virtual reality. Modern audio technology, interactive screens and other tactile technologies will be introduced into schools to teach. This helps students have a broader view of technology and better understand the subjects related to science, engineering, and mathematics.

Many technology experts believe that the future of the world is closely related to immersive technology, including audiovisual and touch. Educators are also working on ways to connect classrooms and various modern learning models to create innovation in teaching. Analysts from Gartner said that building a smart learning environment for students will be a major concern in 2019.

Classes that are connected with smart and modern devices can become a reality when the Indian technology industry is trying to incorporate new technologies such as artificial intelligence and the empowered edge.

Open more skill training pills in 3rd and 4th tier cities

The online education market has been very developed in India recently, especially in tier 3 and tier 4 cities, thanks to encouraging government policies. Skill training pill will be more welcomed by many people because it allows people to develop their skills and still maintain their current job instead.

Short-term courses

Short-term courses increasingly attract more participants because it helps them improve their skills. It is expected to become a very strong development trend in 2019 because it saves a lot of learners' money and time but still brings high efficiency. In just a short time, students can acquire the techniques and knowledge of their careers through courses.

This year will be an innovative year for learning and teaching methods in many parts of India. The goal is to help students develop more, not just learning on theory and materials. Besides, cooperative culture is also promoted and maintained in classrooms. We all should know that the installation of technology in teaching is the first step of the development process, not the final steps.
