IMPROVING THE TEACHING OF BUDDHISM IN AN ERA OF CHANGE

Abstract

The aim of this academic article is to present the enhancements in teaching Buddhism in an era marked by evolving tools and methodologies. This is achieved through the analysis and synthesis of data drawn from textbooks, pertinent academic literature, and research findings. It is evident that adapting Buddhist instruction in an era of change necessitates consideration of various factors, including shifts in societal contexts, technological advancements, and variations among learners. Key strategies for improvement encompass the implementation of Active Learning, the integration of digital technology in teaching and learning processes, the design of instruction that prioritizes analytical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and the creation of teaching approaches that emphasize collaborative teamwork and effective communication.

Participation-based learning is another method that should be embraced, encompassing group activities, discussions, and experiments, all of which are pivotal in fostering a deep comprehension of the learning content. For educators, contemporary knowledge and teaching skills are imperative in effectively conveying Buddhist principles and life skills to students. The incorporation and adaptation of modern technology and teaching methodologies in Buddhist instruction are indispensable in enabling learners to grasp these principles and apply them efficiently in real-life scenarios.
