Abstract

The present learning teaching process is a transition from ignorance to knowledge. Manifested beings operate in three modes, namely I don't know, I learn, and I know mode. The learning teaching model assumes that the teachers, books, and internet are the sources of knowledge. It is believed that the teacher is imparting the knowledge to the students who are ignorant about the subject of study. The irony is that even though it is the same teacher, same environment, some learn and some fail to learn. This has left many educators and teachers baffled. Sometimes the barrier between a teacher and learner has become a major issue in the learning process. At the end, unfortunately, students are being labeled based on their abilities. From time immemorial, this model is being adopted. Teaching and learning is happening with the primordial ignorance and with limited awareness about the learner. A human being can be considered as an ideal natural learning engine.
