Prescription Based Learning

A needed shift in Paradigm

We are all aware of the fact that youth are the future of the nation, and every youth is different from others, and their development is aligned with various aspects and factors. Education is the medium to transmit knowledge, skills, and character traits. In the reform education model, students often follow a standardized curriculum, and set way of sitting, irrespective of their unique learning needs and abilities. The teachers focus more on rote learning methods, on finishing the courses, and guide students to follow the “following the footsteps” kind of education.

Prescription-based learning offers several advantages over a reformed classroom structure and caters to the diverse needs of each learner. It aims to individualize the learning experience and involves tailoring instructional strategies, and content to meet the specific needs, weaknesses, strengths, and interests of each student.

It is a personalized learning model, which allows for a more customized and effective educational experience and ensures the students receive the right level of support and challenge, by targeting specific areas of improvement, collaboration, communication, independent study, small group activities, hands-on-work, and look at situations from a problem-solving point of view. It helps to apply the core literacy skills in everyday life, to approach complex challenges, do critical thinking, and put in correct engagement and interaction with the outside world.
