Abstract

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine. India has a long and illustrious history in the fields  of knowledge and education. At both the national and international level, the relevance of ancient sciences  such as Ayurveda and Yoga is being recognised and appreciated. Even today teaching and learning are  two sides of the same coin. Ayurvedic education now a day is mostly concerned with exam-oriented  "teaching and learning." Students' curiosity, inquiry, inventiveness, and feedback are discouraged in the  popular "factory style" education system which is also known as "direct teaching." Ayurveda rarely  employs novel teaching and learning methods aimed at fostering creativity and critical thinking. The terms  Adhyayan (learning) and Adhyapan (teaching) are used interchangeably in the education system. Gurukul  and Guru Shishya parampara were a part of India's ancient education system, which was followed in  Ayurveda also. The current educational system has been combined with new tools and technologies that  are being used in Ayurveda teaching and learning. Listening and reading, observing and imitating, and  doing are examples of modern learning methods, while lecture, discussion, demonstrations, field  excursions, panel discussions, group discussions, and question-answer sessions are examples of teaching  methodologies. There is enough evidence in the ancient texts to suggest that most of these learning and  teaching approaches existed in their earliest incarnations in the ancient times. The purpose of this work is  to provide a critical review of ancient and current Ayurvedic teaching and learning techniques.
