Re: [MTC Global] [Weekdays Discussion-I] Growing Trust Deficit on Students-- a serious concern

Dear All,

whenever there is an opportunity to become unaccountable, the values, which fosters humanity gets diluted and changes. From this point, it becomes clear that the number of students enrollment increases, the tendency to  cheat also increases, if they are not accountable.

If we take Gurukul example,  few teachers and students were there in a system. Each knows others well and used to inculcate values as required and they used to get motivated because these were rewarded then and there (as well as later). But same thing will not happen in a highly competitive world of 21st century. here resources are scarce, but competition is more. So people try different ways.

The other perspective is that the judgment like this can be due to our biased social cognition (representativeness heuristics?). We need to remember that  this kind of betraying the trust was there in Mahabharatha also (Karna was the example; he might have had 100 reasons, justifiable).

In this new century we are gradually sliding into a "culture of distrust." Distrust usually leads to dishonesty. Most universities do not treat its students as stake holders in the teaching learning processes. Acquiring a degree has become important than learning for enhancing one's potential and building character. Students are just interested in getting grades and getting ahead by hook-or-crook. In addition, HE is also crippled by introduction of dirty politics into the campuses. Corrupt politicians are partly to blame for the degradation of HE. In some ways, HE reflects the nature and values of Indian society.

Many professors across the world are arguing why trust upon students are missing gradually. Especially in Higher Education space students are quite matured and responsible then why there is so much rigidity on attendance register, bio-metric machine, policing and other checks and controls. Why there is so much focus on plagiarism software to check authenticity of student research outcome?

Is there something seriously lacking?
