Crosscutting concepts helps in transfer of learning in all domains and are important tools for making sense of phenomena that can be observed and the mental model is an explanation of someone's thought process about how something works in the real world. Patterns : Observed patterns of forms and events guide organization and classification of prompt questions about relationships and factors that influence them.   e.g. How would you classify introvert and extroverts by looking at the patterns? What are the similarities and differences between them? Is introversion or extroversion comes under a spectrum or is dichotomous (mutually exclusive). Do introverts pull themselves further towards extreme introversion after knowing they are introverts (The Self-fulfilling prophecy in the beginning, a false definition of the situation, evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true. )? What are the advantages and disadvantages of introverts and extroverts? Key...

Competitive Collaboration Algorithm: It's a decentralized network where you compete to collaborate. Edge weight represents difficulty to get connected. Difficulty depends on factors such as distance, location, quality, price. We need to choose subgraph containing all the required nodes (e.g. nodes containing a,b,c,d ) that has a minimum weight or optimal weight. a,b,c,d can represent different services, whereas a1, a2 represents the same services from a different service provider. For example, 'a' can represent a student, 'b' can represent a teacher, 'c' can represent content provider such as a biology textbook and 'd' can represent a classroom or building. Similarly  'b1' represents teacher1, 'b2' represents teacher2, etc. So, For student1 (a1), the optimum subgraph or subgraph with minimum weight containing all the required services are a1,b1,c2, d2 with weight 0.5+2.3+4.2 . Usefulness of the model: 1) Prediction: One can make a pr...

Why there is reproducibility? Reproducibility : The structure defines the function. So similar structure will have a similar function. But why do we have a similar structure at first? Recursion: A structure has got the function that produces many similar structures. e.g. A Cell has a structure that divides into two cells with a similar structure. Final Question: What are the features or attributes required to produce a structure that has got the function to produce many similar structures? It depends on what kind of function you want? Or what kind of structure you want?

Designed by Nidhi Mishra The public distribution system is inefficient in terms of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services and lacks inclusiveness. You can view the fallouts of PDS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_distribution_system Apps can solve the basic social security problem, bring healthy habits of spending money and can be used to run experiments, test it and improve it to get the best results. Features: 1) API endpoints that any app developer can use and integrate it with their e-commerce apps.  Separate types of account for seller and customer. 2) Statistics about how you spending money. General statistics should be publicly available, where experts can review, critic and improve the results. 3) Tagged money, which means you can buy only particular types of products with that money. e.g. Tagged money for grocery, or tagged money for cooked food, or tagged money for education which gets transferred to the seller in untagged form.  Poss...

Children will take another 20 years to add value to the economy. How to? 1) Terminate all rote learning content , and provide them with pedagogically sound recent content. Let content be the syllabus. 2) Provide personalized education, and address learning deficit of students. 3) Bring projects under peer review, and make the project open access if it's not patentable. 4) Ask the teacher to unlearn almost everything they learned during schools and colleges. Use evidence, evidence, and evidence . 5) Make exams analytical and cue-based , not the reproduction of the text of books. 6) Pay the teacher well, so that teachership will be treated as a respectable job. 

Step 1: Make the language of the question confusing and difficult to understand. Step 2: Solving must require information that is difficult to remember or recall from memory such as shortcut formulas, unfamiliar terminology. Step 3: Make the calculation extremely hard and don't give them a calculator. Step 4: Must use concepts that are not taught in class or without supplying good content , or taught with bad pedagogy without using retrieval and spacing strategies that help the concepts to stick in the memory, questions must be completely different from classroom practice questions. And give the question that requires knowledge of whole without practicing its components . As most students will not be able to solve it, it perfectly qualifies as HOTs question. An example HOTs question: Shuffle A-Z sequence, create a new sequence, give a whole day to remember it, and ask them to write in a high stake exam. Also again ask all the sequence you have remembered in a week or weeks, in the...

Are CBSE and other boards designing the syllabus and curriculum by the sweat of their brow by attending the feedbacks, research, and evidence? Our education system should remain brother's keeper to all children of the worlds second populated country.  Why an unstructured syllabus with low-quality and pedagogically unsound content be continued even after everyone knows emperor is naked. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgmTI5LKkxQ&w=320&h=266] They could have made it more structured, with the recommendation of open access contents (such as openstax) for each topic or whitelisting of content.  How much time does it take for experts? A month will be sufficient. It will also create demand for authors and publishers to meet the pedagogical need of students. There is a trade-off,  between adapting to the newly changed content and enhancing the quality of content.  But it could have been done slowly. If a new drugs work better than old drugs, the longer it t...
