Kathmandu, June 26
India’s noted behavioural
scientist Prof. Sanjeev P. Sahni emphasised on 'maximising potential through
behavioural competencies and performance enhancement among students'.
He was
speaking at a programme organised in the Capital on Sunday.
Elaborating on
enhancing various social, emotional, and cognitive abilities among students
through competency mapping techniques, Dr. Sahni demonstrated how academic
performance, emotional satiation and career success are functions of their behavioural
stimuli.
“It is
important to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of the students
and based on those identify key competencies that need to be worked upon. It is
all about identifying skills and strengths of students in areas like teamwork,
leadership and decision making and then build a corrective mechanism based on
that,” said Dr. Sahni.
He also heads
Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences (JIBS), and was recently also elected
as the Vice President of the World Society of Victimology (WSV).
He asserted on
using techniques like audio-visual infotainment, subliminal training,
meditation, speed-reading, and memory games to improve the academic and social
performance of students.
“There is a
need for widening transdisciplinary approach in social-cognitive psychology
studies in a bid to assess, evaluate and then find remedies and solutions to
the laxities of the student community,” he said.
The
approach to processing information and making a behavioural decision is also an
important component in judgment and decision and promote overall welfare of the
student.
