Introduction

 My Autobiography


From learning to read, write and draw as a young child to currently pursuing a Post Graduate Certificate in Education, learning has always been a significant part in my life. Thinking back from where I am today, it is overwhelming to think about the learning journey I went through. I was always surrounded by people who loved art in my family, starting from my mother to my sister and cousins who guided me to go towards art.

At the elementary level, I was mostly exposed to teacher-centered teaching. The teacher used traditional methods such as chalk and conversation methods to teach us. As students, we did not have many opportunities to develop other skills that we might have. The teacher used the traditional method to explain each concept and we learned by rote learning too. At that time, our only resources were teachers and textbooks. For art also, we always used to copy artworks from books. There were no outdoor activities and creative work like crafts. 

Compared to today’s learning, where in the technological and globalised world, the emphasis on teaching has shifted from teacher-centered teaching to student-centered teaching.  However, I learn best from visuals where I acquire information through seeing and interpreting. Not only observation but reading also. This helps me to see the action of what I have read and understand it.

Flexible pathways to goals can help these types of students succeed, where a strict single curriculum might not accommodate them. Often, gamification can allow a student to move forward through the material at their own customized pace. Benefits of Gamification The benefits of gamification are plenty, but the biggest benefit is centered on student motivation. The more motivated a student is, the more diligently they'll work, which leads to higher achievements.   Student confidence is linked to success, and game concepts such as role-playing can bring shy students out of their shell. Gamified platforms often allow for...
