Why Textbooks Published By Educational
Publishers Are Better Than NCERT
The NCERT was established by the Government of India in 1961. It has
been providing advice and assistance to the state and central schools, in
terms of curriculum as well as textbooks. The government is pushing for
NCERT textbooks for the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE)
schools over textbooks published by educational publishers. This decision
has some people cheering with joy while others are not happy about it.
Are textbooks by academic publishers better or are NCERT textbooks the
right choice?
The answer to that is complex. Both sides have something to offer. Let us
take a look at a comparison between academic book publishers and NCERT.

NCERT Textbooks Contain


Everything The Curriculum
Requires
Since the NCERT works closely with the educational boards for curriculum
development, they know exactly what content is needed. These books are
tailored to meet the content requirements. If there is any change in the
curriculum, NCERT books will change accordingly, with no delay.
Additionally, all CBSE examination questions are from NCERT textbooks.
While other academic publishers also follow curriculum requirements, they
might not be able to keep up with any changes made to the curriculum.
They will catch up, but it might not be as quickly as NCERT.

Academic Publishers Generally


Have Better Content Quality
Than NCERT
As mentioned earlier, the NCERT has the support of the government. The
state boards and CBSE can and have made it compulsory for schools
affiliated to them to use only NCERT textbooks. This is good news for the
parents, as they don’t have to spend money on highly priced books.
However, the teachers and students often have to suffer with less than
optimal content. In fact, there have been some schools who have expressed
a dissatisfaction with the number or errors in NCERT books. The fact that
the science textbooks have errors affects the quality of education as a
whole. This puts students studying from these books at a disadvantage in
competitive examinations.
Because the NCERT textbooks are not subject to market competition, they
are not obliged to improve their content. This is something regular
educational publishers cannot afford to do. Poor content for them means no
one will buy their books. This is why they try to provide over and above the
minimum requirement. As a result, teachers prefer using their books for
better teaching value.
Because the NCERT textbooks have been made compulsory, the schools who
can afford it ask their students to buy additional books from other academic
publishers. This way, they can cover up the gaps in knowledge. However,
the schools where students cannot afford two sets of books end up with less
intensive learning material. Students preparing for competitive exams
especially find that NCERT textbooks aren’t enough for study material .
The situation is even worse for students of higher education. NCERT
textbooks have to be supplemented with books from other academic book
printers. Since these books are already expensive, they might feel it is
pointless to even buy the NCERT books. As for English language or
literature books, most schools avoid NCERT books in favour of books from
other educational book publishers. They feel the quality of language is very
poor in NCERT published books.
This is a common complaint coming from parents. They are compelled to
buy the textbooks prescribed by the schools. If the school prescribes books
by private academic printers, the parents often find the books to be
expensive. NCERT textbooks, on the other hand, have much more controlled
pricing. The government ensures that. They also have an advantage when it
comes to the price of the raw material. This advantage is passed on to the
final consumer.
Academic book publishers do not have the same advantage. They also tend
to use higher quality raw material, which ends up driving up the price of the
books. As a result, the books for lower classes are priced high. The books
for higher classes tend to be even more expensive.

The NCERT Is Not Able To


Provide The Books On Time
Since NCERT doesn’t do a lot of business in the market, they only print as
many copies as have been ordered by schools. If the school doesn’t place
the order on time, the books get delayed. As the largest consumers of these
books are government schools, their orders depend on when the
government funding is released. In the academic year of 2017-18, over one
lakh students will not receive their books on time.
Other schools find that NCERT textbooks are difficult to procure and are
delayed in arriving. They often find themselves waiting for these crucial
books at the beginning of the school year. Other educational publishers on
the other hand start supplying books to the market at the beginning of the
school year. Because their supply depends on the demand, they are ready
to print as many copies as they can sell. Again, being private businesses,
they have a quicker reaction time. They try to make sure they never have a
situation where their books are out of stock. This is something NCERT is not
equipped to deal with. If the volume of demand goes up, they have not yet
proven that they will be able to provide.

NCERT Content Is Not Always


Secular and Accurate
A government-managed organisation in a democracy needs to be very firm
about its decision or every group with any political ‘voice’ will end up
affecting its policies. This is something that NCERT has to deal with. History
books face the constant pressure of showing ‘Hindu culture’ in the ‘right’
light. Religious groups want to have their faith’s leaders shown in a glorified
light.
Facts are distorted and outright falsehoods are introduced in order to be
politically correct. This ‘saffronisation’ of textbook content harms no one but
the students who have to study it. Combined with the errors that these
books also contain, it ends up with students getting fed misinformation.
They graduate without a proper knowledge or understanding of history and
events.
Books by educational publishers, on the other hand, are vetted for accurac y
as well as for errors. They do not have politically-minded groups pressuring
them to change content to make it show them in a favourable light. They
have more resources at hand to ensure that the quality of the content is fair
and faithful to the facts.
NCERT was set up for a reason, and its mission is aligned with the Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyaan. The price and the content it offers ensures that every
child in the country can afford these books. It is imperative for the mission
to educate every child. However, as with any system, it is not flawless. In
this case, it is the quality that suffers.
Quality is something that Manakin Press academic book publishing places
very high on our priority list. Our content has to match up against our
stringent checks to make the cut. We have panels of experts who vet
everything before it is published. And the best part is, we price our books
very competitively. That means you get great content that is reliably
accurate at a great price.

HOW DOES GAMIFICATION EFFECT THE LEARNING
PROCESS?
Education is any practice that constructively modifies the way we behave, think, and feel. We as humans always have
the desire to learn, regardless of age. We also learn in different ways, owing to intrinsic and extrinsic elements not
only related to age but also to the level of development and maturity, personality, experience, as well as genetic and
environmental factors. To allow students to use and explore their full potential, it is a prerequisite to optimize the
educational methods.

How can we make education more enjoyable and more efficient? The answer lies in understanding how students
learn. Basic knowledge in educational psychology is indeed what makes good instructors stand out and allows them to
convey knowledge efficiently, as required per recipient.

The main learning styles are: (1) visual, relying on images and mindmaps, (2) auditory, using sound, music, and
rhythms, (3) physical or learning by doing, (4) verbal, using speech and writing, (5) logical, relying on reasoning to
help see the big picture, (6) social or group learning, and (7) solitary, i.e. learning alone or through self-study.

Educational methods currently used are very broad and include academic teaching, practical training, discussion,
directed research, and multimedia-based learning. Technology has taken its toll on the educational scene like never
before. Indeed, today’s K-12 students have been controversially called digital natives, having been born in the digital
era and almost exclusively using technology in their day to day life activities. Moreover, adults and professionals are
also adapting to technology and increasing their reliance on it in their day-to-day operations, owing to its
omnipresence with the smartphones, tablets, computers, and the internet. These observations suggest a strong
influence of technology on all aspects of society.

In the context of education, the trend of using game elements in non-game contexts, termed otherwise gamification,
aims at increasing the engagement and motivation of students, capturing their interest to continue learning and
influencing their classroom behavior. Although games are today often used in educational environments, the trend
remains stigmatized and its use limited due for example to (1) inadequate access to technology, (2) lack of
professional expertise in integrating new technologies, and (3) resistance to change.

To change this, we need to understand the way gamification may facilitate learning systematically.

Gamification in education may optimize the brain’s processing of new information. This may be facilitated by
the general aspects of gamified lessons, with the audio-visual presentation, minimized bites of schematized
information, short time lapses, and often repetitive patterns.

New data is lost unless it is stored in our long-term memory through a multi-layered process involving attention,
perception, selection, organization and integration of information. The first relay of new data is in our working
memory, which can handle only a small amount of information at a time. Miller has suggested that the human brain
can process seven pieces of information at one time, which will be lost in 20 seconds if not further processed to reach
long-term memory.

The brain processes information in the working memory using two channels—visual and auditory. When information
is presented using both channels, the brain, i.e. working memory, can accommodate more new information. However,
information overload which may hinder the integration of the new information into long-term memory. Therefore,
small chunks of information need to be presented in an organized fashion. This allows the brain to integrate and
organize new information to existing schemas in our long-term memory.

Moreover, recent research has suggested that the attention span in humans has decreased from around 12 to 8 seconds.
This change has been attributed to the digital revolution, aside from its beneficial effects including faster reaction time
and increased the ability to multitask. These findings stress the need to adopt modern ways, such as gamification, to
transfer new knowledge and information to students and teachers alike.

Gamification in education can improve motivation and engagement. Game elements such as immediate feedback
and earning badges for completing the challenges successfully are strongly influential on increasing the students’
drive in engaging in these games even within the walls of a classroom.
Additionally, the social component of gamified learning, whereby students gamify in groups, leads to loads of benefits
on the brain function. Indeed, social, intellectual engagement activates neurotransmission in the brain, brain plasticity,
and rewiring, and mitigates brain inflammation and the deleterious effects of oxidative stress on the brain. The
beneficial effects of social interactions have been interestingly highlighted in delaying dementia in the elderly
population.

Gamification modifies the brain’s reward and pleasure center and ameliorates learning. It is well established
that games, whereby a person wins or receives positive feedback, can activate the brain’s pleasure circuits by inducing
the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Educational games are suggested to have the same influence given their
elements of winning challenges or successfully achieving a goal. This pleasure during gamified education results thus
in a long-lasting affinity for the academic subject or for solving otherwise complex problems.

Furthermore, the influence of games on the pleasure center has important effects on learning per se. Indeed, reward-
related signals have been reported to promote the storage of new information into long-term memory through
dopaminergic modulation of the midbrain, which activates the hippocampus, a structure primarily involved in learning
and memory. Dopamine is also involved in controlling neuronal plasticity within the hippocampus, which is a
significant brain phenomenon underlying the acquisition of new information and skills. Moreover, hippocampal
memory has been reported to improve following the practice of video games in adults through the stimulation of the
brain circuits.

Conclusion

We are at a time where both children and adults spend hours at a time on games. There is evidence that this may have
led to changes in the brain functions. Adopting gamification in education to a certain extent may be a healthy initiative
to modernize education to go hand in hand with the new digital era.

Things aren’t always what they appear to be. The next time you find yourself sitting
on a train, in a meeting or at your desk, have a look at the people around you using
Smartphones. Their serious and focused facial expressions tell you that they are
clearly hard at work. Or are they? You are witnessing no doubt the impact of
gamification.

Some are emailing, others are reading the news or an important article, but if
you’re a bit nosey you’ll also find a surprising level of fun is being had.

Amongst the WhatsApp users and Social Media junkies are the gamers. By 21
years of age, many males will have spent over 10,000 hours immersed in
online gaming,”[1] and it turns out that there are a good number of positive
reasons why.

An effective environment where learners practice real-life situations and


challenges leads to a more engaged learning experience, and facilitates
better knowledge retention.

According to Wikipedia, “Gamification techniques strive to leverage people’s


natural desires for socializing, learning, mastery, competition, achievement,
status, self-expression, altruism, or closure.”

We love to play, and we enjoy the challenge, the distraction, the escape and
the gratification of achievement.
Apply the positive impact of Gamification to learning, especially Corporate
Learning and you unlock the door to a whole new level of learning benefits.

1. Gamification is a ‘Universal’ Tool


Gamification can be used to fulfil most learning needs, including core skills,
induction and onboarding, product sales, customer support, awareness
creation, and compliance. It would be hard to find a training programmer that
would not benefit from some level of Gamification.

2. A Better Learning Environment


Gamification in Corporate Learning can boost the effectiveness of the learning
environment which can help learning to ‘stick’ in the memory and
consciousness. An effective environment where learners practice real-life
situations and challenges leads to a more engaged learning experience, and
facilitates better knowledge retention.

3. Gamification makes Learning feel ‘Real’


Successful learning is a combination of three elements:

 10% from formal training Gamification focuses on the compelling ‘on the
job’ type experiences where we learn more effectively simply by ‘doing’.
In real life we are motivated to do better because success brings
tangible results. Gamification seeks to simulate those feelings and
motivators in people.
 20% from feedback and from observing and working with peers and role
models
 An impressive 70% comes from real-life and on-the-job experiences,
tasks, and problem solving
Gamification exploits this last element by simulating real life experiences and
‘tricking’ the brain into higher levels of engagement.

4. Corporate Learning…Now with Added Fun!


If the level engagement is high, then so will be the impact of gamification. The
learner can experience “fun” during the game elements of the training while
still learning. A good gamification strategy with high levels of
engagementwill lead to an increase in recall and retention.
5. An Unforgettable Impact
Gamification can drive behavioral change, especially when combined
with the scientific principles of repeated retrieval and spaced repetition.

Whether you’ve taken a course or led one, we’re all aware of how quickly a
superbly crafted programmer can be forgotten if it isn’t put into practice fairly
quickly.

Research clearly shows that the more interactive a training technique, the
more memorable it is. Reading is a far less effective learning technique than a
course with audio and video elements for example. It is the act of saying or
writing as a part of learning that tickles the long-term memory into retaining
ideas, facts and behaviors. Gamifies content comes out at the top of the pile
thanks to the interactivity it offers learners.

6. Instant Feedback
Gamification of Corporate Learning provides instant feedback so that learners
are aware of not only what they know, but what they need to know. This too
facilitates better learner engagement and thereby better recall and retention.

7. Gamification – Making Corporate Learning More Rewarding


Points, badges, and leader boards would surely make training awesome.
However, gamification is about a lot more than just those surface level
benefits. Gamification can drive behavioral change, especially when combined
with the scientific principles of repeated retrieval and spaced repetition.

8. More Motivation, Better Engagement


Game elements like feedback and reward are strongly influential on increasing
the learner’s drive to engage. To maximize the impact of Gamification the
learning content need to:

 Capture and retain learners’ attention


 Challenge learners
 Engage and entertain learners
 Teach learners

9. The Pleasure is All Yours


Games are pleasurable. We don’t need a pile of research to tell us that. If we
want to know why then the science becomes essential. Winning or receiving
positive feedback can activate the brain’s pleasure circuits by inducing the
release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Gamified learning can also induce
this natural high, make us associate learning with pleasure, and result in a
lasting affinity for the subject.

10. Games Bring Gains


The final ‘change’ in our list is an accumulation of the first nine points. From
better learning experiences, higher recall and retention, more motivated
learners, the morale boost of putting pleasure into learning; it all adds up to a
significant performance gain for the organization.

Conclusion – One Giant Leap in Corporate Learning


People across the generations spend hours at a time on games of all shapes
and sizes, from consoles to smartphone apps. Setting aside the fact that there
is evidence that this may have led to changes in the brain functions, we have
known for some time that simulations and games make learners remember
more.

Gamification in corporate learning is more than just a gimmick. It is changing


learning and in particular corporate learning through the simple yet effective
process of modernization. By applying established simulation techniques that
enhance the learner’s retention of knowledge to corporate learning, we can
turn up the effect of training courses and take a giant leap in the
modernization of learning. The impact of gamification is there on the horizon
for all to achieve.
