A Culture of Self Learning new article content ...

SICUn: A culture of self learning was developed by Umanga Pandey, founder of Kehi Garou, to create a culture where students took active part in the their education curriculum. This concept revolved around the premise that for students to do well, each student has to learn to manage freedom with responsibility. The four core objective of the self learning culture of SICUn are Self design, Individual responsibility, Counseling and Unified holistic learning.

Self-Design: To prepare students in the practice of making mature decisions, we give them freedom to design their curricular and co-curricular experience. At the heart of self-design is our practice of individual goal setting where students design their own experience. This means we do not have any ‘compulsory’ courses or activities. We also give freedom to the students on how they wish to use their self-study sessions to undertake research, take tutorial sessions, practice computer based learning modules, do assignments and follow up on counseling activities.

Individual Responsibility: Once a student makes a choice, the student is expected to responsible for that decision. We do not tolerate things like delay, negligence or disrespect by the students for the decision they have made.

Counseling: Young adulthood is often a confusing and overwhelming time, even without the academic pressure of A Level. In order to guide the students in their academic, co-curricular and placement goals, we have put a Counseling Team in place. Each students will be mentored by a dedicated teacher on a weekly basis.

Unified holistic learning - in and out of classroom, to see links between one's learning and real life experiences, to appreciate the boundaries of topics as well as interdependence with other topics. This means that the whole process of learning is unitary, not divided into classroom and topics and field.

Applications

This concept is being applied at Ace Institute of Management for their A-Level program since 2015.
