Economics, EdTech, and the illusion of learning
In the late 1970s, when I was hesitantly moving to be a so- called 'research student', I had all kinds of doubts and apprehensions, as the decision on the ' trade-off ' was too difficult, given the state of job opportunities those days. India today is a different India, where income opportunities are aplenty, though the so-called 'jobs' may be fewer. Seeing my hesitation and doubts, my research supervisor advised me,'… do try to get a good Ph.D. in Economics, and try to fool others'. More recently, as I sit on several interview boards, the Economics guys, who come before me, prove it the other way! It so happened that, last week, I had such an occasion, when I found a post-graduate from a premier institution (of great legacy), who has not even heard of the classical and neoclassical theories in Economics! But, surprisingly, he claimed to be adept in a few data processing software such as SAS and MATLAB, as well as open-source options like R and Python! The NEP 2020 aims to reform the education system by promoting holistic learning, critical thinking, and a focus on experiential learning. A theory, in a general sense, is a well-supported explanation of why or how things happen, based on observations and evidence, often developed through ongoing inquiry. While theory arises from enquiries on existing or perceived phenomena, how can one manage even without the framework within which the past generation approached the sciences? The simple answer often pointed out is that such deep learning is not of practical use. Education as information refilling The idea that educational institutions in India are primarily 'information refilling stations' is a common critique, suggesting they focus on rote memorization and standardized testing rather than fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The 'information refilling model' in education refers to the process of regularly updating and enriching students' knowledge and skills, often through diverse learning experiences and engaging with new information. It's a shift away from static, rote learning towards a dynamic, active learning environment where students are constantly acquiring and applying new knowledge. While traditional curricula may emphasize knowledge acquisition, many institutions are also actively working to promote a more holistic approach to learning, encouraging creativity, innovation, and research; but they are a rare species! Today, all-India recruitments, such as civil services and scientist recruitment, are running on these lines. While the 'information refilling' model may reflect some aspects of the Indian education system, it is an oversimplification. Many institutions are working towards a more holistic and innovative approach, but challenges remain in addressing the pressure of standardized testing and fostering critical thinking skills. The statement, 'people who have money can afford the educational refilling stations' highlights a disparity in access to education based on financial resources. Educational refilling stations, which could refer to supplementary educational services like tutoring, enrichment programs, or private schools, are often more costly than basic public education. What is the motive for such refilling? Of course, the spot price and futures price are displayed by the so-called 'edushops' through their advertisements. And surprisingly, people invest in advanced courses in Economics, Management, and hybrids like Public Policy, without understanding their basic economics! 'Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink', goes the saying. To state that 'information illiteracy is the lack of knowledge as to how information can be used in productive activities' is a good starting point, but it's not quite complete. Information illiteracy is more than just lack of knowledge; it encompasses the inability to effectively find, evaluate, and use information to achieve personal, educational, or professional goals. If so, why should one spend his/her hard-earned money on education? It is high time legacy institutions in Economics and Management come forward, address the reality, and come out with innovative solutions. (Views are personal.
