Techno Emotive Pedagogy: A Strategic Enabler for Catalyzing Sustainable Learning and Living in the Post-Pandemic Educational Landscape
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
In this era of digitalization, the imbibition of technology in all walks of life is immensely felt. In a fast-pacing world, a desirable demand for an easy life makes it necessary for the burgeoning of technological prospects. Moreover, technology would have acclimatized the education sector one day or the other, like Scandinavian countries, for sure: but this anticipation was met rapidly during the pandemic period. As a consequence, most educationists felt the necessity for an alternative to leverage the learning loss across the globe. Technology performed the role of a Godmother to forge our country as ‘Vishwa Guru’ and save pedagogical principles from the clutches of the devastating pandemic. Educational resources began flooding from various technological tools like water flowing from the reservoir while lifting the shutters of a dam. A serious concern that knocks this scenario is ‘will this amalgamation of technology and education remain harmonious, or this synchronization will be able to resolve all the ethical or ontological questions of Homo sapiens in the post-pandemic period’? At this juncture, there is the relevance of a shift from techno-pedagogy to techno-emotive pedagogy. Techno-emotive pedagogy is potentially sound to function as a sustainable approach in the field of education by embracing life skills to adapt to the fast-changing modern society. Undoubtedly, technology would be enthroned as the ultimate dependent variable of education, but without neglecting the emotional canvas. It relies on the strong footing that humans are essentially more emotional than intellectual. A single-track system of techno dependence neglecting the organismic emotional contour of individual and social tenets of humans will result in chaos. This paper intends to present techno-emotive pedagogy as a pedagogical experimentation and innovation in the teaching and learning process by utilizing an exploratory approach to the various emotional handicap that intruded on the learning and living system due to the single strategic path adopted during the covid period by analyzing the empirics from the education stakeholders. An attempt is also made to design and develop an instructional strategy that is synchronized with this paradigm. The findings showed that techno-emotive pedagogy plays as a strategic enabler in catalyzing sustainable learning and also the derivatives of this attempt are expected to contribute to a sustained strategic system for learning and living.
