In today's world of information where city students are dumped with information day in and out, they expect a teacher in the class to help them use the information and customize it and relate it to syllabus/subject. The urban students at the Higher education sector and Secondary level are obsessed with abundant information which distracts them in class when the same is delivered by the teacher without analysis. The teacher has to empower himself or herself to handle this issue. Knowledge empowerment is the key to handle the distraction in this millennium students.
How do teachers empower themselves with knowledge?
Thirukkural handles this issue in chapter 72 called 'Avai Anjaamai'. The poet says 'to associate with people who are more knowledgeable to learn from them'.
As Thiruvalluvar says we can stay connected with scholars and that will help build knowledge as at a point it might clear doubts and thus increase learning opportunities. The suggestion here is that one should have a thirst for continuous learning and thus empower and help assimilate existing knowledge resources. It might help them with more illustration and more scope for practical application of concepts.This will make teaching interesting in the classroom for the students as now empowered teacher brings in rare insights into the subject which the students would not be able to understand on his own. Thus the teacher becomes an academic leader helping the students understand the fine aspects of information. The teacher guides the student into the pleasure of self learning. Ultimately the teacher helps students convert information into knowledge.
How does the teacher practice knowledge empowerment in an easy way?
Teachers can cultivate professional relationship with their colleagues and create a knowledge atmosphere in their departments to discuss the latest updates quite naturally. Knowledge sharing has become easy than ever before with the help of technology. Social networking platforms like Facebook,twitter, blogs, Linked-in etc can be used effectively for knowledge sharing.
