Abstract Teaching is a noble profession where the teachers build a friendly environment in the classrooms; inspire students; and introduce the learning process. But with today’s claim of standards and government mandated exams, education has become a process where the students are counted as commodities absorbed in the labour market and provided input only for the progress of trade and commerce. Thus, teaching is mostly restricted to an application of generating a mindless population of students who respond to an appropriate ‘correct’ answer without proper critical thinking and the reflective ability. The need of the hour is the participation of the students in the teaching and the learning process. The teachers, instead of just presenting the concepts, have to initiate the process of dialoguing with the students and take active role in the process of students’ learning and growth. This article focuses about this paradigm shift at length.
