How career coaching paves the way for career development

‘The best way to predict the future is to create it,’ said Abraham Lincoln way back in the 1800s, yet the words hold much weight in contemporary times. Every person in the world dreams of having a future with a stable career, having a family and being content. The foundation for a stable career should be set early in life, with children exploring many different career pathways to find the best suitable one. However, the process can be confusing and tedious. This is where the need arises for career coaching.

Since the mid-1980s, career coaching has been a popular kind of professional development service. A career coach’s job is to assist students by providing vast information about numerous vocations and professional prospects. They deal with a broad spectrum of people with varying needs and views on a variety of challenges. Each demands a unique strategy and set of talents to assist the customer. The overall purpose of career coaching is to help clients with their personal and professional development so that they may (a) better recognise and develop their abilities, (b) make better career decisions, and (c) be more productive and valuable employees.

People are becoming more aware of the various employment options available to them as their usage of technology and consumption of social media grows. Platforms like LinkedIn, Quora, and others provide individuals with professional chances and a greater understanding of their options. Career coaches examine the client’s background, run aptitude tests, IQ, personality, and interest tests, and assist them in determining which career path will be most beneficial to them, even if the proposed professions are unconventional.

Ideas for using edtech in different ways in a classroom

‘The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.’ ― William Arthur Ward

Teaching is an art as much as a science. It is conceptual and intellectual in nature, as well as abstract and tangible, creative and sequential. It’s about individuals, yet it’s told through the lens of ideas. It’s all about content, hearts, minds, the past, and the future–whatever we can think of, teaching and learning are both causes and consequences.

Teaching is a difficult profession, and the constantly evolving society doesn’t make things any easier. The teachers were doing a good job a generation ago if they made sure to cover the curriculum according to pacing standards and best practices. However, as students’ needs and society’s expectations have grown, so have the responsibilities put on the teachers. They must bring changes in their ways to teach too. Luckily, edtech is here to help them with it. 

Here are some ideas for using edtech in different ways in a classroom!

  • TPACK (aka technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge)

TPACK, introduced by Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler of Michigan State University in 2006, is a technology integration framework that highlights three forms of knowledge that teachers must combine in order to implement edtech. These knowledge types include technical, pedagogical, and content knowledge. 

Source: tpack.org

The diagram’s centre demonstrates a complete grasp of how to educate with technology. Keep in mind that this is not the same as knowing each of the three fundamental ideas separately. The goal of TPACK is to learn how to utilize technology to teach concepts in ways that improve student learning experiences. It may be a great thing to remind the teachers to look at the bigger picture and evaluate their whole approach. It works competently in the lesson-planning phase as an inventory. 

  • SAMR (aka substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition)

The SAMR framework assists teachers in thinking about how they presently employ technology in their classrooms; it is sometimes viewed as a hierarchy, with each term inside the acronym representing a level. It is a framework for introspective and qualitative assessment rather than an inventory.

Teachers make use of the SAMR framework to see if the gadgets they have in their classrooms are helping or hindering their students’ learning. They don’t have to strive for modification or redefinition with each session, and they can shift between SAMR levels from lesson to lesson.

  • PICRAT (aka passive, interactive, creative, replacement, amplification, transformation)

PICRAT addresses the influence of technology on a teacher’s prior practice and incorporates a student’s engagement with technology in a specific educational setting. It is very similar to SAMR. 

Students would participate in a passive lesson by watching teachers play a video on a whiteboard, an interactive lesson by answering embedded questions while viewing a video, and a creative lesson by creating their own film. PICRAT is a beautiful alternative to SAMR for teachers who wish to focus on the qualitative components of student interaction with technology.

Is it difficult to change the way you teach? Yes. So is it worth it? Also, yes. E employing technology to extend the teaching repertoire will take time and effort. However, it will allow teachers to have more of the sorts of interactions with children, something that gravitated them toward teaching in the first place.

Language and travel

“With languages, you are at home anywhere.” – Edmund De Waal.

These words by Edmund De Waal are true to the core. Learning a foreign language can truly alter your life: it can boost your self-esteem, help you advance in your career, and much more. Despite this, most people only pursue it if relocation or other life circumstances necessitate it. This is a pity because learning to speak another language has several advantages. Simply learning a second language may enrich your life in ways you can’t even conceive. 

Mastering a foreign language can work for your benefit when you engage with someone who speaks that language when you travel to some country. Let’s face the fact that not everyone knows English perfectly, and it is not everyone’s first language, even though it might be the most widely spoken language in the whole world. Don’t let a lack of understanding of the local language prevent you from exploring a country. You might just have to get used to being more expressive with your hands or using features on your phone to assist you when necessary. 

When you travel to some country whose native language is unknown to you, you must attempt to at least learn the basic phrases, instead of just relying on English. Learning a new language may seem like a big challenge, but when you converse with people in their native language, it is easier for you to connect with them. Moreover, if you devote enough time to foreign language studies, you will better grasp the local culture. It will further show them how much you respect their language and their culture by putting in all that effort.

For instance, you are planning to go to France to have the time of your life. Now, before leaving on your vacation, if you practice basic terms such as “Bonjour. S’il vous plaît… (Hello, please…)”, “Oui/Non (Yes/No)”, “Parlez-vous anglais? (Do you speak English?)”, “Où est-ce que je peux trouver un plan de la ville? (Where can I find a city map?)”, “Combien ça coûte? (How much does it cost?)”, etc., you are more likely to earn a grin from the person you are trying to connect with if you use local pleasantries and you exhibit your interest in the local culture.

“As well as learning vocabulary and grammar, you’re also unconsciously learning a whole new way of seeing the world. There is an inextricable link between language, culture, and cognition.”  – Professor Panos Athanasopoulus, Lancaster University

Learning a new language has benefits other than connecting with native people and showing respect to their culture, such as improved mental function. It can cause the hippocampus and other parts of the cerebral cortex to develop. These regions of the brain are linked to memory, cognition, and behavior. As you become older, this can contribute to better memory and sharper reasoning. Linguistic Relativity is a hypothesis that the way you think and experience, your environment can also change. For example, there are more names in Japanese for distinct colors of blue than there are in English. If you wanted to study Japanese, you would begin to differentiate colors in this manner as well.

Language and travel, particularly foreign travel, are inextricably linked. 

Instagram Celebrities 

 

Just like everything in this fast-paced world, social media has changed ‘how’ we interact with celebrities and ‘who’ we pose these celebrities to be. People are now ready for a revolution following a long haul of looking at these famous personalities from afar and fantasizing about them as a far-fetched dream. After multiple scandals and controversies, the masses are of the mind to honour real-life heroes, instead of idolising personalities whose life is only partially visible and that too is surrounded with unachievable glitz and glamour. People now look up to someone who comes from amongst them and is thus authentic and trustworthy. 

With the onset of the pandemic, our lives have been revolving around the internet more than ever, giving rise to influencer culture. As we were locked in the four walls of our homes, creativity brewed and splurged through social media. Through the ‘click and share’ culture, many ordinary people rose to popularity as their content went viral for being informative on literally any subject under the sun or for simply being entertaining. These people were admired by their followers to the extent that they could ‘influence’ what their followers consume, giving rise to the ‘influencer culture’. This is because, for the netizens, it is easier to interact, resonate and rely on the choices of people who seem more ‘real’ than famous celebrities who have a dreamy lifestyle and are heavily paid to advertise a product or service that they probably never use. This makes influencers more credible as they come from similar economic backgrounds and give honest reviews about the products that they actually use and claim are worthy. 

Instagram has primarily shaped this culture by quickly replacing the banned tik-tok with what is called reels. These 15-second videos were dynamic and practical to hold the attention of this otherwise attention-deficit internet generation while spreading knowledge/entertainment comprehensively. The quintessence of this entire process was the algorithm of Instagram which was random and thus provided an opportunity to every individual to amplify their content. 

With the boom of regular people on the internet, brands have now started collaborating with these influencers. These digital content creators with a following large post sponsored material along with their hallmark content strike a balance between maintaining impact as well as earning a business. Statistics suggest that influencer marketing is set to become a 15 billion dollar industry by 2022. 63% of the marketers have already dedicated and multiplied the budget for social media marketing to improve public relations and attract more potential customers. 

This new digital culture’s unending creativity and communicative potential never cease to be surprising in its fast developments. These Instagram celebrities have made their way to every home. They would continue to direct communication, interaction, information and human behaviour in the society even as things slowly continue to turn towards pre-pandemic normalcy. 

Ed Tech Beyond 2021

As we see, with a stroke of the Covid-19 pandemic, governments across the world announced We would observe a good jump in people seeking Degrees or Certifications via online mode instead of offline mode. More essentially,  it celebrates its features by giving people a benefit to measure ROI on time and money when they choose to learn a new skill or get a new edge in their career. We know that, complete lockdowns, and also took it as a situational ultimatum to make a shift from their moving systems. And with such a rapid shift to digital platforms, tech adoption came as a by-product to all the consumers. 2021 is probably the year of change and evolution. The Edtech industry is booming at present with all small and big educational institutions adopting a hybrid approach to learning. To cope with the situations and move with the global trends, the adoption of tech-based education became the need of the hour. The economic repercussions of Covid-19 couldn’t still be measured exactly. It’s still not certain how long it would run, dragging its course. However, it’s tremendously affecting the employment market scales. It’s showing more significant effects on unemployment levels, which are incredibly increasing day by day. This in turn is giving a noticeable bend towards Career-oriented learning, upskilling and reskilling using online platforms. This even focussed the acceleration for the need to shift away from brick and mortar towards the digital platforms. No doubt this stage was initially difficult for all the stakeholders, but anyway it was markedly a drastic development in the education history of the world. Again consequently the rapid shift to digital learning, tech adoption came as the by-product to all the consumers. Withstanding the current challenging situations and adoption of advanced technologically equipped education was itself a remarkable deal for education networks. These new emerging patterns are leading to some innovations due to recent policy changes under the new  National Education Policy 2020. Maybe this pushes us to pull out its maximum in building a better, advanced technology developed education environment in 2021 and far beyond. 

Increased investments and adoption. 

Although there is a significant extension in the digital world of education which is bringing a vast array of knowledge and scopes, still there remains a vastly unexplored sea in the tech-learning world. Thus many companies are initiating their efforts to find ways to innovate, invent and implement in the segment of e-learning. As we see the ed-tech industry continues to expand, the adoption of tech is facilitated even more further. We can very well assume that hybrid learning is the key to education in the coming future. 

AR and VR will become the mainstream. 

Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual reality (VR) are becoming popular and are moving fast within the Edtech market. With AR at their side, interactive learning platforms are empowering and enabling both students and teachers to enjoy their classroom experiences. Adding videos and graphics in the classroom via

AR and VR are undoubtedly making the classroom sessions more exciting and interactive for the aspirant students. 

Whether bringing historical figures into the picture or bringing a business world into the learning spaces, it platters more possibilities to explore both for teachers and students. 

Education Management Information System (EMIS)

A Management Information System or MIS is a central data repository that processes and analyses the various data after gathering, organizing and storing it, to generate multiple reports supporting essential decisions made by the leadership teams in respective organizations.

Education Management Information System (EMIS) is the system that monitors the performance of education programs offered by the institute while managing the distribution and allocation of educational resources. The core job of EMIS is to manage, plan and strategize to implement work processes to execute the education system smoothly.

The principal aspects of an education system are People, Information and Technology which are interrelated and MIS plays a pivotal role in supporting their respective activities. As per UNESCO, “An EMIS can be defined as a system for the collection, integration, processing, maintenance and dissemination of data and information to support decision- making, policy analysis and formulation, planning,

monitoring and management at all levels of an education system. It is a system of people, technology, models, methods, processes, procedures, rules and regulations that function together to provide education leaders, decision-makers and managers at all levels with a comprehensive, integrated set of relevant, reliable, unambiguous and timely data and information to support them in completion of their responsibilities.

The role of MIS in the Education sector:

Teachers: Could teachers or educators ever think that they will have quick access to data of any student or a group of students in just a few clicks that too in a detailed and streamlined manner yet accurately filtered? Well, MIS has made it possible. It has reduced the workload on teachers by doing so. Along with that, it helps the faculty to track and organize the attendance and performance data accurately. A part of education MIS can successfully streamline the classroom activities by arranging the lesson delivery in a comprehensible manner and digitizing student assignments & assessments. Educators could get a detailed analysis of student academics and their areas of improvement to promote personalized learning & data-driven insights to improve the students’ academic results. Furthermore, educators can compare yearly performances and change the delivery style to bridge the students’ knowledge gaps and map the results.

Students: How is MIS helping students in education? Well MIS is assisting students by storing their crucial data like their personal information, exam records, hostel, library details and many more. If that seems less, it also helps in tracking the students’ daily progress, which they can use to analyze and monitor their performances and work towards improvement over time.

Management: The management can have complete control over the kind of data and the amount of data a teacher, faculty or staff can access. Transparency & operational efficiency can be tracked for clear insights while helping the management oversee the performance indices. The effortless approach in monitoring and analyzing resource distribution and expenditures is what any leadership team and their top management of an educational institution are looking for. That is why they are looking forward to implementing a student information system with MIS integration. Resource distribution is the management’s core area of interest where management invests in right from assets and infrastructure to study aids and educators.

Why is MIS needed and how to decide which MIS to be implemented?

The need for MIS is inevitable and quintessential; however, the type of MIS and their respective report vary from organization to organization, leading from the industry level to education and personal management. Processing the information becomes significant for better performance of many functions such as planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. To analyze and figure out from the deferred data is a long process. These processes can be reduced using several latest technologies with the prior use of MIS report format to lead to optimum productivity and profitability for the organization or the education institutes. The quality of the MIS depends on major 5 factors: Time, Accuracy, Consistency, Entirety and Relevancy. If these factors are well guarded while building any MIS, then it will be of great success. These days many educational institutes have embedded MIS reporting in their system software. Reports may vary but are pretty prompt and according to the given prerequisites of the respective stakeholders. Professionals working in the various verticals of the institutes need to figure out the exact solutions for their stakeholders’ specifications. If we look at things from the wider perspective, there are primarily four stakeholders in any educational institutes: Administrative, Teachers, Parents, and Students. A thorough study must be conducted to figure out the optimum format of the MIS to be embedded in the institutes’ educational system. In general, the questions can be of 1) What are the requisites of the education management system? 2) How will the end-user be benefitted from it? 3) What is the appropriate selection of components available? 4) What kind of study is feasible to identify the process of presenting a report? 5) What are the appropriate technologies that must be used? Educational Management Information System (EMIS) has been developed to help the education institutes with all the work and activities and address their concerns while sufficing their requisites.

EMIS in Public Elementary Schools:

There have been many theses available online about how EMIS is undertaken for its effectiveness of implementation. However, none of these has cited how EMIS should operate particularly in Public Elementary Schools. The geographical location of many public elementary schools is so distant that having access to records and information is quite tricky. This could serve as one of the contributing factors in the difficulty in strengthening the EMIS. Thus the

The implementation process of EMIS in public elementary schools with the core view of examining the level of effectiveness in school planning, monitoring, project implementation and school performance evaluation seem a little uncertain.

Innovative ways to use Ed-Tech

Coming up with a new groomed face, education is undoubtedly expanding dramatically to an admirable extent and showcasing interesting scopes to the students. Today, with the elaborate knowledge and the introduction of technology we need to upgrade our educational institutions by integrating it with some innovations. Here’s a list of some innovative ideas to be used in the classroom that could help in transforming the world of education. 

  1. Social Media. 

Social media impacts every sphere, be it commercial, social, entertainment or even academic. If we consider its approach in the education sector, it is equally beneficial for all grades of students. With the introduction of technology in education, the concerned authorities would grow with an exclusive hashtag and could encourage the students to tweet their inquiries, academic doubts, homework, presentations etc. 

  1. Gamification

There’s no second thought to the ideology that learning by playing is the best way of learning and understanding complex concepts. Even at times, the complex ideas are nicely framed in the students’ minds if it’s taught in an engaging manner. This style of transportation of education via Edtech is observed to be more interesting and compelling.

  1. Social Groups

Students spend the maximum of their time on social media. Thus, bringing social media into the curriculum could be the most innovative way to use technology in the classroom and would certainly give a much appealing face to the education, further expanding their scopes to reach their ultimate goals. 

  1.  Artificial Intelligence Also, AI is seen to be of great benefit in higher education systems. Computer Vision, facial recognition, strengthening exam security, identifying cheating during online exams and even conducting exams without any physical human Invigilation are extraordinary technological graces for education sectors.
  2. Immersive Experience- Immersive access to a real-time broadcast happening across the globe is also a gen-next trend in the education field. The combination of AR ( Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual 

Reality) or Mixed Reality may work as a Milky Way at your doorstep, offering an unlimited approach. 

21st Century Skills and Technology

The discourse of education has evolved over the years. In the 21st  century, education has become way more than earning a degree. It has changed its course from being limited to curriculum to developing command over various disciplines spanning from cognitive to non-cognitive soft skills. Thus, the 21st-century definition of education encompasses within itself the broad scope of academic, non-academic disciplines. A person’s overall development accounts for their hard skills, non-cognitive soft skills and of course their emotional capabilities. To discount any one of these for the other becomes problematic. In fact to see either of them is isolation becomes all the more problematic. It is the interdependence of both non-cognitive and cognitive skills that determines the latter’s dominance. 

Non-cognitive skills, also known as soft skills contribute to an individual’s problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, organizational and interpersonal skills. Often overlooked, these skills determine the “patterns of thought, feelings and behaviour (Borghans et al. 2008) of individuals that may continue to develop throughout their lives (Bloom 1964).” Developed from a very nascent stage, these noncognitive skills like communication, teamwork, organization skills, the cultivation these skills begin outside school, at home and further developed throughout. Even in the professional sphere, these skills are taken into consideration when recruiting an individual. Employers not only want competent individuals who are good at what they do, but they also look for individuals who possess strong interpersonal and communication skills. 

It is how one reacts in the moment of crisis and how they respond and interact with the world around them. The very foundation of socio-emotional skills is laid down by early family experiences that inform our conditioning. Feelings of empathy, respect and tolerance tell an individual’s socio-emotional skills. Research indicates that emotional and cognitive abilities are closely interrelated, directly impacting the individual’s social relationships and decision-making skills.

Lastly, the technical skills or the hard skills determine the individual’s professional interests and inform the basic knowledge to perform a particular task. In a fast-paced society, these skills are imperative to survive in the professional realm. These skills include essential social media platforms, coding, content marketing, digital marking and programming. These skills are critical to keeping up with the pace of the ever-changing world and its ways. The World Economic Forum confirms that around 54% of employees will require upskilling by 2022. Technical skill development when continuously upskilled can yield unfathomable results and drive out huge numbers. 

Well, it can be established that it is not always the number game that reins. Although profits and numbers play a very important role in the professional sphere, intangible profits of healthy relationships and strong decision-making skills cannot be divorced from what we know as “paradigms of success”.
