A Critical scoping review of Trividha Jnanopaya in relation to Modern Pedagogical Approaches

Abstract

Background- In Ayurveda, teaching and learning were based on the “Gurukula” system of education. A “Gurukula” was a place where a Guru (teacher) and Shishya (student) lived together. There were three ways for obtaining the knowledge, i.e. Adhyayana, Adhyapana, and Tadvidhya Sambhasha with the learned persons. Study of a single Shastra gives only a limited understanding; therefore, one should also get knowledge of other Shastras. There is sufficient evidence is available in ancient literatures that indicate the prevalence of initial forms of learning and teaching methodologies.

Objectives: Critical analysis of Trividha Jnanopaya as traditional Ayurveda Medical Education and to compare the ancient Ayurvedic education system with the modern education system.

Methodology: A Literary study of Ayurvedic teaching and learning methodology. Based on Samucchaya vidhi (collecting the scattered matter) and Nirdesha vidhi (detailed explanation). The study integrates insights from classical Ayurvedic literature and contemporary teaching and learning research

Conclusion - The review demonstrates how well Ayurvedic education, Adhyayana, Adhyapana, and Tadvidya Sambhasha integrates the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. The study highlights the value of traditional practices while promoting their incorporation with contemporary teaching methods.
