Sri Aurobindo College of Commerce and Management on April 18, 2024, organised a session on the topic ‘Science of Learning’ under ‘Shape the Mind Programme.’ The resource person for the expert talk was none other than the brilliant Ms. Vaishali Lamba, Manager and Lead (L&D), Corporate HR Department, Vardhman Textiles Limited, Ludhiana. Principal, Prof. (Dr.) Vishal Kumar, extended a floral welcome to the resource person, and expressed the wish that such meaningful thoughts clothed in innovative style be shared with the students in still more visits of the scholarly speaker. Dr. Puja Jain introduced the distinguished resource person with her felicitating words. Then Ms. Vaishali Lamba started the session in her scholastic and lively style. She said that leaning is the process of acquiring new knowledge, skills, behaviour, attitudes or values through study and experience. She animated her lecture with pragmatic examples. In her highly educative, informative and well packed lecture, she focused on the fact that leaning is an ongoing process, and it can occur consciously or unconsciously, anywhere. She exhorted that young boys and girls should cultivate in themselves the spirit of learning. She showed a video to the students for practical exercise. Through this exercise, they learnt the art of retrieving memory. She explained the concepts like memorization vs learning, growth mindset, and she also explained the process of learning. She also discussed a case study with the students. She discussed various learning strategies like elaboration, chunking, retrieval practice and metacognitive strategies. The students were all acclaim for not only the brilliant talk but also for the brilliance of Ms. Vaishali Lamba. Mr. Sahil Ghai and Mr. Vinay Dawar lent a great hand in making the session a success.
