Changing Trend in Management Education

The entire society and humane life both have changed considerably since that a few years back. Information Technology has increased the pace of development and we have developed hundreds time more in last few years than we had in hundreds of years earlier. Everything has changed tremendously including morals, ethics and significance. So is true for education patterns and traditions. Here is what management education in India lacks most and what needs to be done to develop successful global entrepreneurs.

Earlier students were forced to concentrate and mug up what was written academic books and were forced to take exam on that knowledge only. Anything done on personal observations, skills and knowledge was out of curriculum and worth not considering for awarding ranks. They system was certainly flawed and deterred natural development of children and marred their ideation abilities. Consequently people were living within limited scope and had no access to the things, views, knowledge, and realities beyond their orbit.

With the advent of Information Technology, and most importantly Internet has changed the whole picture and has redefined the meanings and standards both. Today, students are encouraged to realize their own potential of achieving success in the field they may feel inclined to. The world is open at your disposals and only sky is the limit. Results are obvious, even young students are doing wonders in the world.

The same change has been introduced in professional level of education, like management studies. Students are provided internship and practical exposure of the situation, but to a limited extent only. Therefore they are still unable to emerge fully confident even after completion of their degrees and diploma programs. In fact, the things should have been upside down.

These professional courses should be more on real life industrial exposures and less on literature. The reason is the speed by which the world is changing. Teaching from the books written years before would not be inducing a practical approach and realistic behaviour in students. They need to be made aware about the current business scenarios with direct exposure to industrial affairs.

There are some institutes which have identified this deficiency of the existing management courses and, in order to make its students more competitive in global environment, has introduced Academia Industrial Interface in its curriculum, wherein the institute involves industry into education process of its students. They invite representatives of leading industries and share their real life experiences and current and emerging requirements from new age employees and professionals. The institute provides extended opportunities to its students to work in organizations on internship for a longer period than usual. The concept has clicked and more and more of its students are achieving success in jobs and businesses both.

The article goes to suggest all aspirants of management careers to choose such an institute / college which offers Academia Industry Interface in its curriculum for better future prospects.

How to Quickly Put a Stop to Bullying in Your Classroom

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jennifer_Dobson]Jennifer Dobson

As an educator, you have a duty to protect your students while they are in your care, and unfortunately, this oftentimes means protecting them from each other. Bullying is prevalent in schools today, and many schools, in fact, have a huge problem with it. Bullies can make other student's lives completely miserable, causing them to dread coming to school where they are faced with jabs and taunts that are both physical and mental or emotional in nature. Students who are victimized by bullies often expend a great deal of their energy worrying about being bullied and afraid of the bully than focusing on their studies. And deep emotional scars from bullying can carry over into their adult lives, hampering their ability to become productive, confident, and mentally-healthy individuals. Sadly, many victims of bullies pay the ultimate price by committing suicide.

Forms of Bullying

Bullying can take two basic forms, and often goes well beyond a simple case of playground arguments. And although physical bullying is the most evident and readily obvious form of bullying, emotional bullying involves taunts and teasing that can be even more detrimental than the fear of physical harm, or the physical harm itself. And with the new face of communication, bullying can also be pulled off in midair via harassing and mean text messages and forwards. Recognizing bullying is the fundamental part of stopping it.

Signs of Bullying

It is important to watch for signs of bullying in your students, especially since many kids are apprehensive to discuss the bullying because they are ashamed, afraid, or both. And most students won't report incidences of bullying among their peers because of the fear of being labeled as a "snitch", or that the bully will seek revenge against them. The three most common signs of bullying include the unexpected and abrupt appearance of scratches, scrapes, bruises or cuts, unexplainable and sudden reluctance to go to school, and emotional withdrawal.

Steps to Take to Fight Bullying

If you find discover that a student in your school is being bullied, the first step that must be taken is to notify the principle or disciplinary figure at your school. Talk to the child who has been bullied, and assure him or her that it is not their fault. (The fact of the matter is that a bully is usually an insecure person that takes out his or her insecurities on someone who is perceived as being weaker than they are). Encourage the student that is being bullied to cooperate with school officials, and talk to the child's parents about the bullying incidence(s). Keeping an open dialogue is important, and it is also important that violence is not countered by more violence, which simply perpetuates a cycle. Hopefully, with watchful supervision, bullying can be controlled or eliminated in our school systems, but it literally does "take a village" to counter the problem. Toleration of bullying has gone on unchecked for a long time in many areas of the country and in many schools, but that trend is reversing. Many states now have legal ramifications for bullying. As an example, the Commonwealth of Kentucky recently passed the Golden Rule Act (HB 91) that makes bullying punishable by law, with charges ranging from harassment to harassing communication. Physical bullying can be considered as an assault.

As an educator, you can be the eyes and ears that can turn bullying around and make schools safer for everyone in attendance.
