With the long wait for Class XII results now over, students are looking forward to their college life with nervous excitement. To help the students of 2021 batch ease into their higher education journey and initiate them into a completely new way of learning, Pearl Academy has designed a Pre-semester Learning Experience (PSLE). PSLE is currently in full swing and will go on until the formal academic session begins in September 2021.
PSLE has been designed keeping in mind the different disciplines and courses students have joined at Pearl Academy and the diverse backgrounds of education and life they come from. With three interesting, gamified modules — ‘Explore 4 senses’, ‘Who are your Hoomans’ and ‘From me to we’ — PSLE covers multiple human aspects and skills such as ideation, curiosity, playfulness, collaboration, awareness, leadership, personal development, human values, social responsibility and volunteering. These modules enable the students to get in touch with their creative, imaginative side while helping them hone their technical and social skills. It also facilitates a social connection amongst the new students and faculty members in the current scenario of social distancing. This way, the freshers will be at ease when the campuses open again, leading to collaboration and teamwork in the classrooms and of course, friendships.
PSLE is a power-packed yet fun capsule, apt for the school to college transition that students have to go through, especially in a virtual environment because of COVID-19. It is a unique initiative that was started in 2020 and had received a positive response.
