Benefits Vs Features.
What is more important to you in a product? The list of features it provides or the benefits you
get while using it? You have the answer, right.
Similarly, mathematics as a subject is like a feature list which consists of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and so on….
Instead of teaching the above features why can’t we teach the benefits of it. Presently, the education system is like a body without a soul.
Let me make it simple.
There are so many financial transactions we do on a daily basis which require knowledge of mathematics.
Why are we not exposed to the real-time situations that one will be facing where s/he will be needing to add or subtract.
First a financial situation should be created only then the subject should be taught.
This will also create interest in the learners.
Not only mathematics but this system should be applied to every subject. If a subject is not providing any real-time value in the daily lives of the learner, then it should be made optional. Learners can read it in their leisure time as a book or a magazine. It should not be a compulsory subject.
Do you agree with me?
