Learning is a long and endless process. With each passing day, an individual keeps on learning the art of living. As a social being, he keeps on acquiring knowledge, skills and experience directly or indirectly from various agencies-Formal or Informal. He keeps on modifying his behavior and develops an attitude towards life. The Formal institutions play a very important role in the life of an individual. They create a greater impact directly where as the role of society is indirect. But with the balance in the knowledge, experience and acquired skills through direct or indirect sources, a person can develop various qualities necessary to make him self-reliant and strong to pave his way in the society. He is in a better position to handle the worldly issues with more confidence. The more he learns, the better he earns in the sense that if an individual is given an opportunity to understand and learn in a conducive environment, it will be helpful to improve the critical thinking, decision-making and problem solving abilities of an individual irrespective of the age. Since schools forms an integral part in the life of an individual and directly touch the life of an individual, more focus should be given on the teaching-learning methods to connect each phase of their life with the other in compliance to the needs of the society.

Abstract


Learning is a long and endless process. With each passing day, an individual keeps on learning the art of living. As a social being, he keeps on acquiring knowledge, skills and experience directly or indirectly from various agencies-Formal or Informal. He keeps on modifying his behavior and develops an attitude towards life. The Formal institutions play a very important role in the life of an individual. They create a greater impact directly where as the role of society is indirect. But with the balance in the knowledge, experience and acquired skills through direct or indirect sources, a person can develop various qualities necessary to make him self-reliant and strong to pave his way in the society. He is in a better position to handle the worldly issues with more confidence. The more he learns, the better he earns in the sense that if an individual is given an opportunity to understand and learn in a conducive environment, it will be helpful to improve the critical thinking, decision-making and problem solving abilities of an individual irrespective of the age. Since schools forms an integral part in the life of an individual and directly touch the life of an individual, more focus should be given on the teaching-learning methods to connect each phase of their life with the other in compliance to the needs of the society.
