ducation is perhaps the most important
Etreasure that humankind has ever
discovered. It plays a very indispensable
role in unleashing an individual’s latent potential.
Every person has their own objectives and goals
in life and education shows them the path and
equips them with the wisdom and conﬁdence
required to embark on the journey of attaining
personal excellence. It develops a sense of
mutual respect in them and an understanding for
their family, peers, colleagues, friends, and the
society.
Education inculcates the ability to diﬀerentiate
between right and wrong. As a result, an
educated individual can take the right decision
when required. It equips people with deductive
abilities which help them to survey a given
situation, analyze it properly, and come up with an
appropriate solution for the same. Proper
education also plays an important role in one's
character development and instills in them
various qualities like honesty, dedication,
cleanliness, humility, responsibility, compassion,
fairness, and so on.
With proper education, a person evolves into a
responsible individual. They give their best not
only towards personal development, but also for
the development of the institutions they are
associated with, and the society and nation as a
whole. Education sets a benchmark for
excellence. An educated individual is well aware
of how to properly communicate, strengthen
relationships, and work with others as a team.
Hence, education acts as a launchpad for the
academic, professional, personal, and intellectual
development of a student. It transforms them into
able professionals who take the responsibility of
spearheading the nation towards development
and prominence.T R

omework is an essential part of any
Hstudent’s academic life. However, it
brings along stress and work pressure.
It becomes difficult to avoid homework stress,
especially when a major exam or the deadline
of an important assignment is nearing by. At
times, students can become overwhelmed and
frustrated, which can have negative effect on
their ability to focus on studies and retain
information. As a result, they may delay
completing the homework, which may
contribute in increase of stress. It may all end
up in poor class performance and lower grades
of the students. For these mentioned reasons, it
is of utmost importance for students to
overcome stress related to homework.
Effects of Homework Stress on Students
Sometimes students worry too much about
homework, which may lead to higher levels of
stress and frustration. This, in turn, may
negatively affect their results, social life, and
mental and physical health. It may not only
affect them, but their family as well– leading to
quarrels with family members, when students
feel frustrated about the inability to complete
the assignment. Most parents realize that
homework is part and parcel of their child’s
educational life. But, they should make sure
that it does not become a burden on them.
Strategies to Efficiently Deal with Homework
Stress
Completing homework can be difficult, and at
times, stressful for students. Maintaining a
positive attitude and sticking to the schedule
can help in tackling distractions and completing
the designated work properly. The below
mentioned techniques can help both the
students and their parents in overcoming stress
related to homework.
Maintaining a Schedule
Parents should assist their children to organize
and dedicate proper time for homework, chores,
extra-curricular activities, and sleep. This
schedule will give students a proper idea of
what activity to carry out and when. It also

assists students to maintain a routine lifestyle which is
beneficial from an academic and career standpoint.
Practicing Good Time Management
The proverb ‘time and tide wait for none’ holds true for
every individual. Students should pay attention on the
importance of time, as it will help them to pave a path
towards a bright career. Parents should make sure that their
children are focused on the task at hand and complete their
homework and assignments well in time. Removing
distractions like cell phones and television is a prerequisite
to make sure that the student completes the homework
properly and pursues their studies with utmost dedication.
It is Important to Start Early
Parents should spend some time with their children every
day and help them in completing the homework
assignments for each subject. Students can prioritize their
homework by listing them and can start ahead of the time.
If they start with their homework later in the evening, they
will have less time and energy to complete the same in
time. This will result in more pressure for both students and
parents.
Regular Review of Agenda
Students should maintain a regular note of all the
homework assignments that need to be completed during
the given time limit. Parents should supervise their children
and should make sure that their children regularly review
the agenda. This will ensure that students complete the
given assignments in time.
Organizing for Better Outcomes
Arranging the study room and other related study materials
properly is important to ensure that students complete the
homework with utmost dedication. An unorganized study
room can be distracting. Both parents and students should
make sure that the study room is tidy. Parents should
provide students with all the materials that are needed to
complete the homework, including pencils, papers,
textbooks, and other stationary materials.
Engaging the Teachers
Parents are always eager to help their wards with their
education; but the study materials and courses have evolved
over the years. If they realize that their children are
struggling with homework and studies, they can make a list
of questions and interact with the teachers to help the
children understand the assignment properly.
Organizing Homework Groups
Parents can encourage their children to engage in group
studies. This will make assignments less overwhelming, as
students will be able to discuss about the subject matter
with their classmates. By group studying, students will be
able to share each other’s ideas and better understand the
topic. Working as a team, they will understand the subject
matter and complete homework easily.
Taking Breaks can be Helpful
If the students feel frustrated by going through difficult
homework questions, parents can encourage them to take a
break and come back to it later. This will give them some
time to clear their mind and refocus on the homework. In
fact, even while working on other things, the child’s brain
will be working on completing the assignment in the
background. Parents should also allow their wards to
engage in fun and extra-curricular activities. They should
also encourage their children to take some time off for
exercise and outdoor games. This will help them to take a
break from stress, and at the same time, engage in healthy
activities.
A Good Night’s Sleep is Essential
Every parent should make sure that their child follows a
regular sleep routine. This will boost their memory, lift their
mood, and provide them with the required energy to carry
out curricular and extra-curricular activities. Proper sleep
will also prepare students to tackle all the study-related
challenges and accomplish their homework with a game
face on.
Completing homework assignments in time along with
preparing well for the sessions is not a difficult task.
Developing techniques to tackle stress will help students to
accomplish designated tasks and cultivate better learning
habits. With proper planning, dedication, and support from
friends and family, students can overcome frustration and
complete their homework and assignments confidently. T R

The recent years have seen a surge in the need
for private tutors. Technological advancements
have also provided a facelift to supplemental
education. A prime reason behind the growth is the
rising number of students seeking academic support
outside the classroom. Parents are also arranging tuition
classes for their children so that they get extra support
needed for academic growth. Owing to the in-person
feature of these classes, they are much popular among
students and parents alike.
Digitization and e-learning have also introduced
convenience, innovation, and interactivity in education.
As a result, students have quick and easy access to
more educational tools and resources than they did in
the past. These innovations have opened doors for
mobile applications designed to assist students in
tackling with crucial subject areas ranging from
geometry to literature, along with providing them a
lasting experience combining education and
entertainment.
Using Mobile Applications as an Educational Tool
We have witnessed the growing popularity of mobile
applications and numerous researches revolve around
the need for children to have hands-on interaction and
simulation. This gives rise to the question, are these
apps are indeed the right choice for parents to help their
students excel in studies? The answer is ‘yes’, as these
tutoring apps assist both the students and the parents in
various different ways. The below mentioned benefits
of these apps provide a clear picture of why parents
should try them.
They Offer the Convenience of E-Learning
In the past, parents had to make sure that the children
go to the teaching centers and attend the classes at the
scheduled time. But, with interactive mobile apps,
educational resources can be accessed from anywhere,
at any time, simply at the click of a button. This
provides students the advantage of gathering
knowledge about various subjects without the
inconvenience of adjusting schedules or delaying
dinnertime. Moreover, students can access the apps
more often, as they do not have to be involved in any
sort of pre-planning or coordination for doing that.
Students can use these apps on a smart device even
when they are travelling; this means, on-the-go learning
is now a reality. Additionally, they can go through a
few pages of an e-book while they are stuck in a traffic
jam, or waiting in a long queue. They can also
complete any assignment with ease at any given point
of time. This provides the flexibility of expanding the
timeline of learning indefinitely.

MOBILELEARNING PROVIDES
A MAJOR BOOST TO TRADITIONAL TUTORING
Enhance Interactivity via
Gamification
Children learn in various different
ways. Some learn easily via visual aid,
many gain knowledge by reading,
while others require more hands-on
activities to clarify their doubts about
the subject. In fact, students can learn
in more than 71 discrete learning style
schemes. Mobile apps provide the
scope of learning via numerous
interactive ways. They make the
educative content more engrossing
while igniting areas of the brain
associated with play, competition, and
reward.
For example, while playing math
games, students come across rich
graphics, short text, and challenges,
which nurture their brain. Students can
use mobile apps and come up with
innovative solutions to various
questions and problems, rather than
toiling hard with a piece of paper and
pencil in hand. Gamification apps help
students to actively solve numerous
mathematics problems with ease.
Various mobile apps encourage active,
continued engagement over a period of
time. They encourage students by
rewarding them with virtual badges,
points, and other rewards, which can
be redeemed in unlockable
achievements, and motivate them to
study hard.
Provide Instant Feedback
Research states that students not only
want prompt response from the
teachers, but also a personalized effort.
They are no longer satisfied with a
simple remark of ‘great job’ or ‘needs
improvement’. These days, students
demand a rather honest critique and
praise, which reveals their strengths
and weaknesses. This is where mobile
e-learning apps can deliver. Their
automated system allows them to
assess students’ performance, and
provides them with the result in a jiffy.
These apps also take students back to
any missed problems and explain
where they went wrong, and what the
corrective measures are. As a result,
the feedback is tailor made for the
student, and they can take time to
understand the concept and correct
their shortcomings.
Expanding the Horizon of
Personalized Learning
As soon as a student masters a
particular problem area, they want to
go on to learn concepts that are more
difficult. Traditional institutions can
also achieve this goal, but at a slower
pace. The procedure can be quickened
by using mobile tutoring apps. These
apps can recognize when a student is
excelling at a given level. Accordingly,
they can provide feedback to the users
so that they can move on the next
difficulty level. In this way, these apps
can assist in designing a customized
curriculum, which would help the
students to overcome their weaknesses
and brush up on their strengths.
Cost Effective Tool
Mobile learning tools are an
economically feasible way to enhance
learning and engage in educational
activities. Although, it cannot replace
the personal touch that in-person
teaching brings to the table, but it can
act as a supporting element. Most of
the e-learning apps can be availed at
economical rates and can be
customized as per the user’s
requirements. Without any overhead
costs like resource and franchise fees
and more, mobile learning can deliver
effective results in a way that is
effective and cost friendly.
The Rise and Future of Mobile
Learning
Mobile learning is becoming
increasingly popular with each passing
day. Students and parents are quite
interested to explore what these apps
have to offer. From the expenditure
point of view, these are affordable and
provide students with the scope to
explore the vast depths of knowledge.
Interactive education is on the rise, and
the incorporation of virtual and
augmented reality is taking it a notch
higher. Students no longer find course
work and assignments difficult; in fact,
mobile learning has transformed
education into a worthwhile
experience. Embracing mobile learning
is a major step towards advancement in
education, and can lead to wonderful
results, if implemented properly. T R

emory is the foundation of enhancing learning,
Mboth in the classroom and beyond. It can easily
be stated that students with good memory can
perform well in school, excel in examinations, and achieve
better grades. However, one thing to note here is that no one
is born with sharp memory skills; they have to hone these
skills with time. The more they utilize these skills, the
better their memory gets. Like any other skill, constant
practice enhances brain functioning. For boosting their
memory, parents should make sure that their ward is
regularly working on their memorization muscles.
Types of Memory
Effective memory can be divided into two parts, namely
short-term memory and long-term memory. Students can
process and recall new information with the help of
short-term memory. It assists them to tackle the task at
hand. This information is then transferred to long-term
memory, which helps students to gain a deeper
understanding of the topic. Many students struggle with
memory, because of which they face difficulty in organizing
and extracting meaningful information out of a topic. This
may result in children falling behind and facing problems
related to academics.
Improving Memory for Better Outcomes
Enhancing memory can help students to perform well in
academics and various other co-curricular and extra-
curricular activities. Various strategies can be used to
improve students’ short-term and long-term memory.
Constantly exercising the brain can ignite innovation and
assist the students in exploring their boundaries for better
academic outcomes. The below mentioned strategies can
play an important role in boosting a child's memory power.
Asking Questions
In order to remember the study material, students should
first understand the subject. Parents and teachers should
encourage students to develop curiosity and ask questions,
which would help them to develop a better comprehension
of the subject. It will also help them to think critically and
develop problem-solving skills.
Combining Learning with Rhymes and Songs
Parents can help their children to make a rhyme, poem, or
song from the information they are learning. Music and
patterns enables quicker grasping and retention of
information. Hence, with proper implementation, songs and

rhymes can help students to enhance their memory and
recall.
Transforming Learning into an Exciting Experience
It is of utmost importance that students do not take
education as a burden. Rather, they should picture it as an
opportunity to explore many new things. A child's learning
enthusiasm can be encouraged by taking a trip to the
library, visiting museums, or watching educative videos,
which can bear better results. Developing the students'
interest in the subject they are studying can help them to
learn things easily in the future.
Encouraging Active Learning
Parents should regularly discuss with their children about
different topics related to their curriculum. This will
encourage students to actively participate in their studies
and will help them to retain information for a longer period
of time. As a result, students will be able to recall important
topics during examinations, which, in turn, will help them
to develop critical thinking skills while improving memory
power.
Visual Aid can be Helpful
Pictures, videos, graphics, and so on ignite interest about
studies among students. This can help them to learn new
information effectively. Creating interesting study exercises
with small flash cards that include images, texts, and
numbers can help in enhancing students' memory, and
encourage them to participate actively in studies.
Using Real Life Examples
Explaining a topic by taking examples from real life can
help students to understand better. Parents and teachers
should ask children to explain a topic by creating their own
real-life examples based on their personal experiences. This
will help them to easily process and retain the information,
and will help students to personally connect with the
subject matter.
Creating Mind Maps
Students can create mind maps which will help them to
connect between words and topics. It will enable them to
actively engage and develop a deeper understanding of the
study material. This will make room for developing various
ideas and to figure out how they relate to each other.
Embracing the Multisensory Experience
A multisensory approach can help students to enhance their
memory manifolds. They can engage their senses to
enhance the study experience. Reading aloud, having
conversations, listening to podcasts, watching videos and
images, and using other props can help them gather new
information and retain old information.
Listing the Keywords
Students can make a list of various words, which can help
them to build associations with various concepts related to
their studies. Creating distinct associations will be helpful,
as they will help students to remember the concepts easily.
Inculcating Presentation Skills
Parents and teachers can ask the students to explain the
topic that they have studied. After the session, they can
review the performance and explain where the student was
lacking. This will test their cognition and retention skills.
Moreover, teachers can ask the students to make classroom
presentations on a selected topic, and then assess their
performance based on the presentation. This will not only
help in enhancing memory, but will also boost students'
confidence to speak in public.
Fragmenting Information
Information in small amounts is easier to understand and
retain rather than tackling a huge amount at once. For better
outcomes, students can start with small and easier topics,
and then move ahead with the difficult ones. Parents can
help their children to organize study materials as per
headings, lists, colors, and so on, so that it becomes easier
for them to recall later.
Enhancement of memory is essential for mental and
physical development of students. It has numerous
academic implications and plays an important role in an
individual's academic and career development. The above
mentioned strategies can work wonders if implemented
properly, and can reap transformational outcomes. T R
