INTRODUCTION
The changes that are occurring in the social and cultural life of the society as a
result of the impact of advancements in the science based technology are
broadly described as modernisation .Since education is a multi-polar process, it
is influenced by the modernisation in different Ways. Due to globalisation and
liberalisation, changes occuring in other parts of the world will also influence
the education pattern of a country. Even though certain aspects in the new
trends are painful to those who view education as a noble Process' they are
irresistible in the current context. Let us see some of the current trends in
education.
Nursing education is a sizzling hot topic. The whole profession of nursing is
under the microscope, as hundreds of experts and stakeholders study where
nursing fits in and where it's going in the era of healthcare reform. However, the
foundation of any profession, including nursing, is how its newest members are
educated.
TRENDS IN GENERAL EDUCATION
1. PaedocentricStudent is the focus of present day education system
The interest shifted from the subject matter to the student and the teaching-
learning process is largely directed by the nature and needs of the learner. This
basic shift in emphasis from the subject of instruction to the nature and needs of
the learner is based on the mathetic principle .The term mathetics derived from
the Greek word mathetin which means to learn . Mathetics is the science of
behaviour of the pupil undergoing the process of learning 'Mathetics is in
contrast to pedagogy whose main interest is in the behaviour of the teacher
while instructing pupils. The teacher today does not consider the child as a
vessel waiting to be filled up with facts; nor as a pliable plastic material which
can be transformed into any shape enabling him to project his ideas on it. The
modern teacher considers each child as akin to a plant and helps the child to
grow according to his abilities and aptitudes. Teacher helps the child to learn
.Progressive educationists like Rousseay, Pestalozzi, Froebel, Montessori and
others have contributed to the development of a child centre education. As a
result education has become more interested in the whole child, all the thoughts,

feeling and actions of the individual pupil, in his mental and social development
rather than presenting some information to him in a in a ready-made form. In
accordance with this trend the student is motivated to participate actively in the
teaching-learning process. This way of teaching by eliciting ,maximum student
participation is called participatory approach teaching.
2.Teachers Role
The shift in emphasis from the teacher to the pupil in the process of education
and carrying out of instructional activities with the realisation of specific and
clear cut learning outcomes has inevitably led to a reassessment of teachers role
in the class room .The model of teacher as the pivotal and dominant figure in
education, presenting a variety of information to pupils has practically
disappeared .Modern education transformed the teachers role from a dictator to
a friend of students. Teacher of today is considered as a facilitator of learning
,whose main duty is to prepare students for learning by enabling them to
actively participate in the teaching learning process rather than simply spoon
feeding .The less the people rely upon the teacher, the better a successful
teacher must enable his pupils to do without him .The changing role of the
teacher in education has been the result of plurality of intertwining influences
like philosophical psychological, social, technological and educational
.psychological studies have clearly revealed the influence of classroom climate
and atmosphere in the creation of a fertile learning environment .In the creation
of such an environment The nature of teacher student relationship teachers
personal attitude towards hi students his professional philosophy and life values
plays an important role.AS said earlier teacher of the past functioned as an
authoritarian figure .But with changing goals of education and newer
psychological discoveries related to effective learning ,such a style of teacher
functioning is not only unproductive but even detrimental to learning .The
classic study of Lewin Lippift and White has demonstrated the long term
benefits of a democratic class room set up as compared to the authoritarian or
lissez faire teacher behaviour. There have been criticisms of this Study but
other investigations have also indicated, the importance of the emotional
component in learning and have generally tended to support. The view that a
warm, humane and responsive teacher attitude has a stimulating effect on the
pupil learning .Eventhough the role of teachers have changed, we cannot ignore
them because ethe future of education directly depends upon the quality of

intermediary inventive minds of teachers and their ability to invent and
innovate.
3.Activity centered
Modern education is actively centered .We are currently giving
more emphasis to learning by doing .Curriculum of today is organized in terms
of tasks to be performed and goals to be reached rather than in terms of lessons
to be learned .This will provide knowledge and skills essential for leading a
good life. Teachers have to motivate the children to do experiments search out
facts for themselves and undertake projects.
4.Creative education
One of the most significant trends in todays school is the
encouragement of creativity. Human advances comes through original thought
and intervention. Creative education is a good medium to develop original
thought and intervention
5.More community participation
Considering the reciprocative relationship between education
and society this is an expected trend .Education Is seeking more community
participation for solving its problem.The presence of parent-teacher association
in all most every educational institute is a good example for the community
participation .Parents participation can also be elicited through socialised
projects and programmes. The result is that parents and the teachers meet in
small and large groups to discuss their common problems .Funding of various
projects in the technical institutes by the industrial sector is also an example of
this trend.
6.More reliance on technology
Technology exerts great influence on education tool for teaching and learning.
Judicious use of educational psychology in the development and practice of
educational technology has increased its user friendly nature considerably. cost
effectiveness of technology. Based educational programmes is good when
compared to the cost of traditional programmes. Educational system is
preferring technology not because it simplifies the teaching learning process ,
but because technology empowers new solutions. Technology will help the
teachers to solve the emerging educational problems created by factors like
-

5
growing school population, heterogeneity, of pupils in schools, divergent and
even confusing needs of learners, rapid development of new information,
expanding curriculum and the social changes arising from modernisation.
Developments in educational technology bring about changes and shifts in
educational goals which in turn stimulate the emergence of newer techniques.
Technology of education is being developed with the aim not only of making
education more widely available but also of improving life quality of education.
As stated earlier, the nature of emerging techniques of education has been
influenced by modern psychology. The facility for online education through
information technology enabled services has redefined the concept of non-
formal education .With the wide spread use of computers in education,
computer assisted learning and computer assisted instruction are becoming
common even in the lower levels of education' Nowa days ,universities are
changing to virtual universities by fully utilizing the technological
advancements for imparting knowledge.
7. Increasing acceptance of Non formal type of education
Universities and other elite educational organizations has come out
from glass towers for providing non-formal education through study centers and
regional centers. Some of them are generating more revenues through providing
non-formal education than the formal education .Information technology
enabled services has redefined the concept of non-formal education .Different
from the pastvarious forms of non-formal education like correspondence
eduction,distance education, etc are gaining acceptance among the youth.
8.Restructuring traditional programmes:
In order to meet the challenges of globalization education system is
restructuring the traditional programme by integrating and correlating various
subjects, for example, traditional B.Sc botany programme has converted to
applied botany in many, institutes by way of integrating some aspects of
biotechnology.
9. Increased opportunity for higher studies:
In the present situation, a talented student and flexible educational loans are
available for meeting the expenses of education.
10. Methods of appraisal
-
7/28/2019 Seminar on Trends in education general and nursing
6/19

Because of multiple educational goals a comprehensive system of evaluation is
being evolved. The childs progress is judged by the comparison of his own
work and achievements .Latest method of evaluation is based on a vision of
learning and well defined performance indicators.
11. Innovation in teaching and learning
Lot of innovations is there in teaching and learning. These
innovations will help in intellectual development personal development and
career development of youth.
12. Educational quality assurance
Present day educational system is more concerned
about quality, cost effectiveness, and accountability .Educational quality
assurance is a process o monitoring and evaluating efficiency and effectiveness
of educational provision and to institute remedial measures as and when needed.
13. Emergence of teaching as a teaching unit:
Class as a unit of teaching is disappearing. As a result of
advancements in instructional planning and evaluation of learning teachers
realize the existence of widely different backgrounds, difference in student
abilities and interests. Hence teachers of today realize the need for presenting
learning experiences to suit individual differences existing among pupils by
using the media and methods generated by educational technology motivated
the teachers to view education as an individual activity rather than a social
activity.
14. Commercialisation of education and presence of foreign universities:
Due to lack of fund and resources the Government
concentrated on basic education leaving higher education to private sector .If
the Government can control private sector properly this can do more in society
.Foreign universities are now attracting more students from India by offering
jobs. Since Indian universities are still continuing the age old programmes and
very much reluctant to change according to the new trends in the international
level, India has become a gold mine for the foreign universities.
15. Distance learning

Online education has now become a popular choice for Americans
because of their hectic and stressful lifestyles. There are actually a lot of reasons
why you need to consider enrolling your child to an online school. The first is
that it is more convenient than that of standard education. Online schools are
also proven to be cost-effective. In comparison to standard school programs,
online education is proven to be cheaper. Another advantage of online schooling
is that it allows students to attend their online classes wherever they are so long
as there is internet connection. This means that online schools can be easily
accessed without any interruption. Disadvantage is that it cannot give socially
active child.
16. Global education
Global education aims to help pick up these children and to give them a boost,
putting them on an even footing despite their unprivileged background. Global
education can also be founded on international affairs, as the name would
suggest. It aims to make students who have this concept running through their
curriculum more curious about life and about the various intricacies which are
associated with it. It aims to allow those who are being taught to think about
how their actions and how they live their lives has an impact on the world in a
far bigger scale than they might have imagined beforehand.
17. Teacher as a researcher
Today, teachers are not just lecturers, but guides; students are not just listeners
but co-explorers of knowledge. Education has become more interactive and
experiential for both parties. Thus, teaching skills have also evolved, with more
techniques available for teachers to use. So there is increased need for
researches from teachers side.
18. Inquiry based learning
Inquiry based learning is mainly involving the learner and leading him to
understand. Inquiry here implies on the possessing skills and attitude of yours,
which allows you to ask questions about new resolutions and issues while you
are gaining new information.
Dictionary meaning of Inquiry is seeking knowledge,
information, or truth through questioning. All the people carry on with this
process throughout their life, even if you might find it not very much reflecting.For example, infants use inquiry to build their sense of the world, the babies
-

turn towards voices, put things in their mouths, grasp things, and observe faces
that come near. The inquiry process is mainly the gathering of data and
information and applying them to senses like smelling, tasting, touching,
hearing and seeing. Traditional method of learning hinders inquiry.
20. Co operative learning
For a teacher who is trying to teach through cooperative
learning from the teacher's resources or lesson plans, he or she might face
problems of discipline or noisy lessons as after all it's just a class full of
students. Hence, there are some cooperative learning instruction strategies,
which can be followed for effective teaching.
The main challenge behind cooperative learning is that it needs to be planned insuch a way that it fits perfectly and the students gain positively from it. For
example, it can happen sometime that the students in a group are noisy and all
the workload is shifted onto one student, in such a case you can either change
the activity or reconsider your seating plan in order to neutralize the class
dynamics.
TRENDS IN NURSING EDUCATION
A profession is a dynamic integration of various faculties of knowledge. Sincenursing education is a professional education it is dynamic by its own nature
and thereby giving rise to trends.
1. Curricuum changes
Flexible curriculum designs are evolving to facilitate diversity of educational
opportunity and overcome barriers of distance and time. These curricula are
often competency based focused on outcome and emphasis student participation
and responsibility for learning.
2. Innovations in teaching and learning
In nursing education lot of innovations are taking place in the areas of teaching
and learning .Invariably these innovations lead to intellectual development,
personal development and career development.
3. Educational quality assurance
-
7/28/2019 Seminar on Trends in education general and nursing
9/19

Eeducational quality assurance is a process for monitoring and
evaluating Efficiency and effectiveness and of educational provision and to
institute remedial measures as and when needed. In India, nursing education is
flourishing in an unprecedented manner; naturally this will lead to dilution in
the quality of nursing education in the absence of proper quality control
measures. Motivated by this situation, accrediting bodies and nurse educators
are expressing deep concern regarding the quality of nursing education. It is
high time to prepare a quality index of nursing institutions all over the country
by categorising them into different grades based on the infrastructure and
faculty profile.
4. More reliance on technology
'Technology exerts greater influence on nursing education as a tool
for teaching and learning. Judicious use of educational psychology in the
development and practice of educational technology has increased its user
friendly nature considerably.
5. Emphasis on high tech high touch approach
High tech high touch approach in nursing was devised to preserve the
human component of nursing care without undermining the advantages of
technological advancements in the field of patient care .Present day nursing
education is preparing the students to maintain the human element of nursing
while caring the patients with the help of sophisticated gadgets.
6. Preparation of global nurses
Nursing education is all set to reap benefits created by
globalization and liberalization by way of preparing global nurses. Many
institutions are preparing students with a global perspective through providing
learning experiences to each students knowledge in English along with
attainment of other objectives.
7 Transnational acceptances
Nursing Education programmes in one nation is widely accepted by
other nations. Infact this transnational acceptance is the main reason for the
development of nursing education in the countries like kerala.
8.Ensuring a promising career
-

10
Unlike any other professional education programmes nursing
education ensures a promising career either in India or abroad. A study
conducted by Johnson and Johnson reveals that nursing education will maintain
this status at least for the coming 20 years.
9Emergence of new specialities
In part with developments in the Medical and allied fields nursing education is
also offering new specialities to meet the needs of community.
10.Increased opportunities for higher studies
Different from the past many institutions are offering
programmes such as post certificate bsc Nursing Msc nursing M .phil and
PhD.An eligible candidate can easily pursue higher education without much
time lag.
11. Potential shortage of nurse educators
As a result of the exciting career opportunities in the service sector
when compared to the educational side talented nurses are now opting a career
in the service sector when compared to the educational side.This may lead to
shortage of nurse educators in the near future. Since the presence of talented
nurses in the service sector will do a lot in the service sector will do a lot in
uplifting the public image of our profession, it is not wise to prevent this
flow.Allowing the qualified nurses from the service side to work in the
teaching institution on a par time basis will help to solve this problem to a
certain extend.
12. Diminishing Government role
Shortage of funds coupled with certain policy decisions has
prevented the Government from investing further in the field of nursing
education.Now the private sector is playing a dominant role for the development
of nursing education.
13.Uniformity and standardization
Various universities and nursing boards are conducting nursing
programmes in a different manner. Even though efforts are on the way to bring
about the much needed uniformity and standardization nothing significanthave been achieved so far.

14.Coping with the impact of globalization
As a result of impact of globalistion the status of nursing shifted from
that of a caring profession to a rewarding profession. Very few students are
trying to inculcate the traditional values of nursing profession during theirstudent bring
15. Enhanced student status
In the past students were viewed as student nurse rather than nursing as well as
tremendous increase in the nurse institutions. Prompted society and other health
care professional to consider nursing students
FUTURE TRENDS IN NURSING EDUCATION
The millennium has become the metaphor for the extraordinary challenges and
opportunities available to the nursing profession and to those academic
institutions responsible for preparing the next generation of nurses. Here are 10
trends to watch, described in terms of their impact on nursing education.
1. Changing Demographics and Increasing Diversity
2. The Technological Explosion
3. Globalization of the World's Economy and Society
4. The Era of the Educated Consumer, Alternative Therapies and Genomics, and
Palliative Care.
5. Shift to Population-Based Care and the Increasing Complexity of Patient
Care
6. The Cost of Health Care and the Challenge of Managed Care
7. Impact of Health Policy and Regulation
8. The Growing Need for Interdisciplinary Education for Collaborative Practice
9. The Current Nursing Shortage/Opportunities for Lifelong Learning and
Workforce Development
10. Significant Advances in Nursing Science and Research
1. Changing Demographics and Increasing Diversity
-
7/28/2019 Seminar on Trends in education general and nursing
12/19
12
Population shifts in the United States have affected health care priorities as well
as nursing. Due to advances in public health and clinical care, the average life
span is increasing. Nursing practice, education, and research must embrace and
respond to these changing demographics, and nurses must focus on spiritual
health, as well as the physical and psychosocial health of the population.
Student demographics are also changing. Ethnic and racial diversity of nursing
schools has increased dramatically, creating a rich cultural environment for
learning. Students are entering schools of nursing at an older age and are
bringing varying college and work experiences, as well as more sophisticated
expectations for their education. They are typically employed in full-time
careers, and many are raising families, which places constraints on their
educational experiences and necessitates greater flexibility in scheduling.
2.The Technological Explosion
The rapid growth in information technology has already had a radical impact on
health care delivery and the education of nurses. Advances in processing
capacity and speed, the development of interactive user interfaces,
developments in image storage and transfer technology, changes in
telecommunications technology, and the increased affordability of personal
computers have contributed to the explosion of information technology
applications. Advances in digital technology have increased the applications of
tele health and telemedicine, bringing together patient and provider without
physical proximity. Nanotechnology will introduce new forms of clinical
diagnosis and treatment by means of inexpensive handheld biosensors capable
of detecting a wide range of diseases from miniscule body specimens. Dramatic
improvements in the accessibility of clinical data across settings and time have
improved both outcomes and care management. The electronic medical record
will replace traditional documentation systems. Through the Internet, consumers
will be increasingly armed with information previously available only to
clinicians. Electronic commerce will become routine for transacting health care
services and products. Nurses of the 21st century need to be skilled in the use of
computer technology. Already, distance learning modalities link students and
faculty from different locales and expand the potential for accessible continuing
professional education. Technically sophisticated preclinical simulation
laboratories will stimulate critical thinking and skill acquisition in a safe and
user friendly environment. Faster and more flexible access to data and new
-

13
means of observation and communication are having an impact on how nursing
research is conducted.
3. Globalization of the World's Economy and Society
Globalization has been brought about by many factors, including advances in
information technology and communications, international travel and
commerce, the growth of multinational corporations, the fall of communism in
Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, and major political changes in Africa and
Asia. With the "death of distance" in the spread of disease and the delivery of
health care, there are both extraordinary risks and extraordinary benefits. Along
with the potential for rapid disease transmission, there is potential for dramatic
improvements in health due to knowledge transfer between cultures and health
care systems. Nursing science needs to address health care issues, such as
emerging and re emerging infections that result from globalization. Nursing
education and research must become more internationally focused to
disseminate information and benefit from the multicultural experience.
4. The Era of the Educated Consumer, Alternative Therapies and
Genomics, and Palliative Care.
With advances in information technology and quality measurement, previously
unavailable information is now public information, and consumers are asked to
play a more active role in health care decision making and management. The
media and the Internet have facilitated this trend. Technological advances in the
treatment of disease have led to the need for ethical, informed decision making
by patients and families. Increased power of the consumer in the patient-
provider relationship creates a heightened demand for more sophisticated health
education techniques and greater levels of participation by patients in clinical
decisions. Alternative Therapies and Genomics Amazing growth is taking place
at opposing ends of the technological spectrum. The impact of the Human
Genome Project and related genetic and cloning research is unparalleled. Gene
mapping will drive rapid advances in the development of new drugs and the
treatment and prevention of disease. At the low-tech end of the spectrum, the
voracious demand by consumers for "alternative" or "complementary" therapies
to enhance health and healing has begun to influence mainstream health care
delivery. Several academic medical centers now have offices of alternative
medicine, and the National Institutes of Health recently funded new initiatives
dedicated to this field. The inclusion of non traditional health care providers
-
7/28/2019 Seminar on Trends in education general and nursing
14/19
14
may augment the health care team. Palliative and End-of-Life Care
Technological advancements in the treatment of illness and disease have created
new modalities that extend life while challenging traditional ethical and societal
values regarding death and dying. New settings for care, such as inpatient and
home-based hospice, and new forms of care, including pain management,
spiritual practices, and support groups and bereavement counseling, are now
likely to be part of well-developed health care systems.
5. Shift to Population-Based Care and the Increasing Complexity of Patient
Care
Rising costs and an aging population have led to new settings
and systems of care across the health care continuum. Managed care and risk-
based contracting mechanisms have forced a shift from episodic care with an
acute orientation to care management with a focus on population based
outcomes. Patients in inpatient settings are increasingly more acutely ill; the
standard ratio of critical care/specialty beds to general use beds in hospitals
today is close to 1:1, up substantially from a decade ago. The community has
largely become the setting for chronic disease management and prevention.
Nurses must demonstrate management skills at both the organizational and
patient care levels. These concepts must be incorporated into the nursing
curriculum.
6. The Cost of Health Care and the Challenge of Managed Care
Cost of Health Care a concern of businesses and governments for at least 30
years, the cost of health care in the United States has approached 15 percent of
the total gross national product. Many reasons have been suggested, including
the advanced technology available to virtually all residents through academic
medical centers, the scientific and technologic infrastructure that has led to most
of the diagnostic and therapeutic breakthroughs in medicine, cultural norms
regarding aging and end-of-life, the cost of violence and drug addiction, and the
growing economic and health disparity between segments of the population
.Concerns about cost are present in every form of nursing practice; they affect
how work is organized, treatment plans for patients, and patients' perceptions of
and participation in care. For Nursing professionals, who have historically taken
the lead in health education and health promotion, are disappointed by the lack
of financing and reimbursement available through managed care organizations
for these vital services. However, advanced practice nurses - nurse practitioners
-
7/28/2019 Seminar on Trends in education general and nursing
15/19
15
and case managers in particular - have benefited greatly by the managed care
movement. Demand for these lower cost providers has dramatically increased,
and their competence and quality in the primary care field have been
acknowledged. Nursing education programs must prepare students at all levels
for roles in case management and employment in the managed care
environment.
7.Impact of Health Policy and Regulation
The impact of federal and state health policy and regulation on the practice of
nursing cannot be ignored. Issues surrounding health care are often complex,
involving the fields of medicine and economics, and affecting individuals' rights
as well as access to health care Two major trends will have a significant impact
on health care delivery. First, there will be an increase in state and federal
regulation as costs rise and managed care continues to expand. Along with
regulation, there will be attempts to shift to less expensive settings and apply
market forces to restrain costs. Second, shared responsibility for the Medicaid
program and the shift to managed care has resulted in an increased oversight
role for the states. States must define ,measure, and assess quality, and serve as
contractors for corporate entities while enforcing accountability of managed
care organizations. Both new regulation and devolution have serious
implications for health care delivery and the practice of nursing. Historically,
nursing's influence on policy and regulation has been disproportionately low
relative to the breadth of nursing practice and its importance within the health
care delivery system. Nursing schools, scholars, executives, and professional
nursing organizations must more actively contribute to the development of
health policy and regulation. Ethical issues involved in working in an integrated
system constrained by economic incentives are being defined more and more by
government policy makers, not health care professionals.
8.The Growing Need for Interdisciplinary Education for Collaborative
Practice
A wide range of knowledge and skills is required to effectively and efficiently
manage the comprehensive needs of patients and populations. While
interdisciplinary and collaborative practice is still not the norm, there has been a
heightened awareness of the need for coordinated care and a significant increase
in the use of midlevel providers, such as APNs, as part of the primary care team.
With care management a critical component in health care delivery, nurses must
-
7/28/2019 Seminar on Trends in education general and nursing
16/19
16
demonstrate leadership and competence in interdisciplinary and collaborative
practice for continuous quality improvement. Teaching methods that
incorporate opportunities for interdisciplinary education and collaborative
practice are required to prepare nurses for their unique professional role and to
understand the role of other disciplines in the care of patients.
9. The Current Nursing Shortage/Opportunities for Lifelong Learning and
Workforce Development
Nursing shortages have a negative impact on patient care and are costly to the
health care industry. While the number of male and minority students has been
steadily rising, their ranks are still underrepresented. The current shortage is
judged to be deeper than past shortages and probably more resistant to short-
term economic strategies that have worked before. However, as in the past, the
current shortage will almost certainly raise salaries and increase flexibility for
nurses. Other recent advances in the profession and the health care industry are
likely to have a positive impact on recruitment. These include the opportunity to
practice in a variety of clinical settings; the dramatic in opportunities for APNs;
new careers in care management and case management; and the interest of
biotechnology, information technology, and pharmaceutical companies in hiring
skilled nursing professionals. Nursing education must partner with the health
care industry to develop innovative short- and long-term solutions that address
the nursing shortage, including aggressive student recruitment and the initiation
of an intense media/marketing campaign. The public image of the nursing role
must be revitalized to change outdated perceptions. The need for more
sophisticated nursing management and leadership to respond to the clinical,
organizational, and fiscal challenges faced by the health care industry has not
gone unrecognized. Nursing schools are called on to expand their core and
continuing education programs to address these needs. Schools of nursing have
many of the core resources needed to deliver continuing professional education
and can provide appropriate courses efficiently and effectively. Health care and
health-related organizations may serve as institutional partners in sponsoring
such program offerings, which would contribute to their relevance, increase
participation, and lower costs.
10. Significant Advances in Nursing Science and Research
Nursing research is an integral part of the scientific enterprise of improving the
nation's health. Research is conducted to improve patient outcomes and
-
7/28/2019 Seminar on Trends in education general and nursing
17/19
17
promote the health and well-being of communities, especially of the most
vulnerable populations. Nursing research and scholarship has received
significant funding by public and private agencies in the last decade and is
increasingly recognized as an independent body of knowledge. As we position
ourselves to meet today's challenges and tomorrow's, we must understand the
drivers affecting nursing.
CONCLUSION
As nursing education as such is an emerging one ,the newer trends are to be
developed more .All nursing professionals and researchers have this
responsibility also .A dramatic change has been occurred in this era by the
evolvement of privatisation. But the standard decreased a lot .So further
movement should be careful to with hold the standard along with forward
movement.
