Innvative Classroom Teaching Practices Huminites, Sciences & Mathematics

Curriculum development stresses upon the softening of subject boundaries i.e. subject boundaries should be porous so that it goes beyond textbooks and learners can get a taste of knowledge and the joy of learning in the disciplines-Humanities, Sciences & Mathematics. All this requires the school pedagogy to be an innovative one in the sense it organizes the classroom experiences in consonance with learners’ nature and environment and thus provides opportunities for all the learners so that they may express themselves, explore their natural and social milieu etc. Innovative pedagogy aims at enhancing learners’ natural desire(s) and strategies to learn and also distinguishes knowledge from information as the former is to be constructed and the latter is to be processed by the learner and of course views teaching as a professional activity not as a coaching for memorization or transmission of information etc. Innovative school pedagogy, irrespective of the discipline, avoids ritualization and in turn facilitates bilateral interaction and participation incorporating the experiences of both learner and teacher as the latter on the track of innovative pedagogy provides a safe space for the learners to share experiences, acknowledge and constructively question the conflicts so that they can make sense of the world around themselves.
