world

. One of the primary reasons for

this

, relates to a child’s concentration and small attention span.

This

essay will attempt to dissect

this

cause and propose some reasonable solutions that could help with mitigating

this

issue. Due to a child’s small attention span, conventional ways of teaching are inadequate in keeping their interest. In order to get through to a child, it is important to keep their interest for the duration of the study session or class and ensure they view it as a fun activity.

Moreover

, most schools find it hard to move away from traditional teaching methods

such

as dictation, using white boards, etc., especially in some developing countries, and

as a result

fail to engage their students.

Furthermore

, with massive technological growth in recent years, children are attracted towards their phones, tablets, computers, TV, etc.

provide a major source of distraction for them. Many studies have even linked the use of these devices to the release of

endorphins

resulting in a

dependency on technology. Combine

this

with the lack of engagement in classroom and

educational

provider’s resistance to adapting to the changing

world

results in children having difficulties in paying attention.

This

issue needs to be tackled on two fronts.

Firstly

, parents need to monitor and limit the use of technology outside of school hours. A structured schedule would be a good start and usage of phones & tablets may even be incorporated into a reward system. Schools should take responsibility for the

second

front. It is vital for them to coach themselves on changing technology and how it can be utilized for providing quality

education

to children.

For instance

, the use of interactive applications, modern teaching methodologies or structuring and creating custom curriculum for each child, based on their learning abilities, interests, etc. In conclusion, it is important to acknowledge and understand the problem, as well as its root cause, utilize modern solutions and creative thinking that caters for the ever-changing modern

world

. Parents and teachers need to understand children’s interests and how to keep them engaged, while delivering quality

education
