Impact of pedagogy

Learning has always been defined two fold, one is a directional input with a sense of objectives to be attained and the other is a non interfering, non directional efforts towards choices made for self development.
In countries where not enough resources are made available and aiming towards cost effectiveness, the teacher becomes an inflential pedagogical input gainer.If it is felt imperative to train young minds towards holistic pedagogy instead of teacher pedagogy then its time interventional programs be started in rural communities and the unde5privileged sections, faling which the enire system of Early Childhood Curriculum will be questionable in areas of implementation.
In the world scenario , as it is being witnessed, it is evidential for a greater input towards Teacher Education.
Meta Cognition
In this era of meta vision, going beyond the extra ordinary, where man gets into the discovery mould, of relying on machines including Robotic Science, children of today are becoming young adults with meta effect on their thinking and understanding..
Children and students are clearly bent towards scientific deveopment. Their computational skllls are speedier than what we can imagine.
The art of pedagogy needs to look into all these factors that contribute towards the meta cognitive processes of learning.
Usage of Applications, usage of smart phones and tablets must be an inclu sive part of learning . Guidelines from teachers goes a long way.in the right usage.It is a social responsibility, though philosophical schools may refrain from too much of scientific advancement in schools, but out of school , children will definitely be influenced by the surrounding media constantly buzzing around them.

There is a lot that AI can do , it can accomplish a number of tasks that you assign it and program it for your convenience , it can write a document , type in your CV , design it for you.

Yet one must remember that AI has innumerable uses especially in the medical diagnostic field.
Obsessive compulsive behaviour
Technology can get us into a hooked or a wired behaviour.
one must realise it’s flaws too. Most information is a processed information of the originals, today with AI it is even more likely that information would flow through with ease and the thinking coming from the already fed and processed instruments. Man has been empowered with originality. To preserve that is his right and privilege.
Therefore wise utilisation of technical gadgets would help in navigating our life better.
