Theory subjects are good if they are not memorized without understanding their real meaning. In today’s times, Education has become a lot costlier than how it was in earlier days. No wonder we have now access to search engines and social media for learning new things and keeping ourselves updated. But we need to come out of our comfort zones and not just learn theories and research based on assumptions.

We need to now take up more experiential-based projects that help us teach a skill or learn a lesson or both. We need to practice what we preach, as in we need to now put into action all the things that we are learning as a subject in our school or college to understand whether it really works or not. Practically, we don’t have the time and resources to implement each concept to use.

However, we can be a part of social organizations or voluntary groups that are working on a problem to be solved. We can come up with solutions for their problems and take up some projects in their groups for the start. The more we work on the actual projects, the more relevance we will be able to find in our learning and education system. A lot of the theories are not in use or effect in today’s times and thus, you may feel like omitting them from your database. And you will be surprised to know how much in sync with reality you are when you work in the field of your choice.
For example, if you wish to be a good teacher and make a career in the teaching field, then think about taking your teaching skills to YouTube and welcome more suggestions from students to improve upon your methods. This is how you will learn when you are a part of a project rather than just reading theories of how to be a good teacher.
