Reflections about learning in Pondicherry University
Learning
is a continuous process from the womb to the tomb, starting from the life to
the meaning of life with goals to the fulfillment of
these goals. Therefore, from the beginning we are learning by experiences and other cognitive strategies like emotion and thinking. Regarding Pondicherry University and the learning experience of it, i would like to explain in details. I got information about Pondicherry University from my teacher
MUSA ALI who was a product of the school of education during my B.Ed. At
the end of first semester, i developed my test towards M.ED and
started collecting information regarding good universities, providing M.Ed
with much pain and less leisure. That time i have selected three universities and Pondicherry University was one amomg which i
have selected finally.
After coming hare the first thing I have learned that how is to become self-dependent and self-reliant. Here all the teachers are following/adopting constructive approach. All the faculties have their own way of teaching with certain strategies. In two year M.Ed programme many things are included like communication skills and yoga. In that part we have learned the practical aspects of yoga and communication skills programme by attending yoga camp, seminars and visiting Chennai. During that i have learned many new things by learning and doing. From the first day itself i am learning new things with guidance of the teachers, peer groups, by presentation, discussion etc.
One thing more I want to add that after coming in pondicherry university the craze of celebrating birthday of friends and looking for party is become trend for us. Pondicherry University is the place where i have noticed peoples from different states and from different countries. Here i have friends from countries like Sri lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bhutan. In Pondicherry University, I have developed international friendship which ends with regional friends. In classroom also we are from more than 10 different states with unique culture but sharing the common feelings.
Outside Pondicherry University there are many places which I have visited for the first time after coming to Pondicherry, starting from sea, Auroville Ashram to the Matrymandir. In each place, I have learned something new which stored to my memory. Now coming to the classroom, all 25 are from different discipline with post graduation and graduation. Whenever I am faced any problem, I simply consult with my classroom academicians( future teacher of teachers). Overall its a good decision and each and every step I am learning new experiences.
ONLY one thing I am missing here is '' dhabagiri" and not getting much time for that.
