Most students learn about natural disasters from textbooks. Such a traditional approach often leads to a lack of practical knowledge on how to deal with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we at GIIS Noida teach students through an action-oriented method that comprises quiz competitions to let students answer, compete, and, above all, think on their feet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As climate events are becoming more frequent, this kind of learning matters a lot. In fact, <\/span>studies<\/b><\/a> show that natural disaster education is directly connected with increased risk perception and students\u2019 risk reduction measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see how this unique mix of fun and facts can prepare students for the unexpected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t

Why Quizzes Are Effective<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Quizzes work because they make your brain work harder. And that\u2019s exactly what we need for subjects like natural disasters, where practical knowledge is pretty important. Have a look at some other reasons to adopt a quiz-based learning approach:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Active Learning
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    No doubts. Reading a book gives information. But quizzes are effective at engaging the brain. It demands attention, recall, and decision-making. All these are active learning components. According to studies, students retain up to <\/span>75%<\/b><\/a> more information through active learning, like discussions and practice.<\/span><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Builds Confidence
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    When students respond correctly when they are under pressure, they become more confident. Even incorrect answers assist in arousing interest. They challenge students to investigate further.<\/span><\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Improve Memory
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Repetition strengthens memory. As students encounter similar topics across multiple quiz competitions, the information sticks in their minds longer.\u00a0<\/span>
    \n
    \nFor instance, they may come across the topic of tsunami warning systems multiple times. That makes the learning around that topic deeper and more useful.<\/span><\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Encourage Teamwork and Communication
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Most quiz competitions are team-based. Students are required to collaborate and discuss. Remember, these are important skills in real-life disaster response situations, too.<\/span><\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Competitive Motivation
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Quiz competitions for students<\/span> draw on inborn competitiveness. Contrary to high-stakes tests, quiz competitions induce positive stress. Students feel enthusiasm instead of fear, which, in fact, improves memory development and retrieval. They will have that urge to learn more about topics beyond the textbooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Data-Driven Improvement
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Every quiz shows an opportunity to improve. Teachers can monitor the performance of each student in the sessions to note their strengths and weaknesses. This enables them to tailor learning plans and provide additional support where necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    GIIS Noida Global Student Exchange Programme<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    At GIIS Noida, we consider natural disaster education as an important part of the student learning process. The Global Student Exchange Programme, organised by GIIS Noida, is one of the greatest examples of this. It’s a great model of how student quiz contests can be leveraged in making classroom learning of real-life subjects interesting and efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n
