Need to switch over to whole brain teaching methods

In a recent teacher training, it was asked from the participating teachers that how many of them had read any new book on education consulted a research journal in education or tried out any evidence intervention in the classroom in the last two years and no hand was raised to affirm it. This indicated that there exists a huge theory and action gap among teachers as well as educators.

An AI prompt (Google, 2026) [1]  and an article in merinews.com (see inset clipping) revealed. "Dr. Lalit Kishore is a Jaipur-based educationist and researcher who advocates for whole-brain education (WBE) to foster self-awareness and holistic cognitive development over rote memorization."

The core philosophy of WBE advocated by Kishore has the following components.

  • Integration of Brain Hemispheres: He stresses that both hemispheres of the brain must work together for true, holistic understanding.The 
  • WBE Formula: He defines whole-brain education through the equation: WBE =Self-awareness skills + Multiple intelligence-based learning + Formative mastery learning+Student-led project method
  • Self-Awareness: Mindfulness and self-awareness are treated as central pillars to unlock a student's maximum potential and ensure effective learning.

Key Pedagogical Approaches tried fo WBE by Kishore are as follows

  • Visual-Verbal Integration: Utilizing diverse instructional methods and dual-coding (combining visual and textual cues) to match different cognitive strengths.
  • Three-Stage Learning Transition: Moving instruction smoothly from teacher-directed lessons to peer collaboration, and finally to independent, student-owned learning.
  • Interdisciplinary Learning: Bridging sciences with arts, STEM education, and micro-learning techniques to make concepts digestible and engaging.

In Summary

Kishore (2026) advocates for transitioning to Whole Brain Education (WBE) to replace memory-focused schooling with a pedagogy that integrates both brain hemispheres. His formula balances self-awareness, mindfulness, and multiple intelligences with formative mastery and student-led project methods. This approach shifts classrooms from traditional, teacher-directed lessons to peer collaboration. By tailoring instruction to diverse visual-verbal cognitive strengths, the framework builds confidence and empowers students to take complete ownership of their independent learning journeys.

An ink attack at Jantar Mantar and aftermath

Image
 An ink attack, which involves throwing ink at a rival, celebrity, politician, or public official, is typically intended to humiliate the target, attract media attention, and convey feelings of hate or disagreement. Such actions undermine democracy and hinder the potential for constructive and meaningful discussions. They substitute logical arguments with cheap publicity stunts. This type of attack goes beyond rational discourse and peaceful debate, creating panic as it may involve hazardous chemicals. However, when a government supporter targeted Abhijit Dipke of CJP at Jantar Mantar, he and his supporters managed to handle the situation calmly, preventing social unrest. A limerick  Young Dipke, a chap quite astute, Was ink-attacked, a messy pursuit. He stayed calm and meek, As the attacker woman did shriek, "Blue's my color!" he said, with sweet hoot.
