Modernisation in Education
Constructivist teaching at Sarada Vidya Mandir offers a bold departure from traditional objectivist classroom strategies. The goal is for the learner to play an active role in assimilating knowledge into his/her existing mental framework. The ability of students to apply their school- learned knowledge to the real world is valued over memorizing bits and pieces of knowledge that may seem unrelated to them. The constructivist approach requires the teacher to relinquish his/her role as sole information-dispenser and instead to continually analyze his/her curriculum planning and instructional methodologies. Perhaps the best quality for a constructivist teacher to have is the “instantaneous and intuitive vision of the pupil’s mind as it gropes and fumbles to grasp a new idea". Clearly, the constructivist approach opens new avenues for learning as well as challenges for Sarada Vidya Mandir.
