WHY?

Modern teaching method are more

ACTIVITY-BASED and

LEARNER CENTRIC.

Through this way, learners actively participate in the whole process to build their knowledge and sharpen their skills; this is also termed as a constructivist approach.

On the other hand, the mentor or teacher only leads them and guides them to focus on the objectives of the subject by promote cooperation, and boost the healthy study environment.

NEP:2020

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India has sparked discussions and implementation efforts to revamp the education system comprehensively.
Let’s discuss into how it's influencing pedagogical shifts in various aspects:

6 of 35

As per NEP 2020

Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
5.15. Teachers will be given continuous opportunities for self-improvement and to learn the latest innovations and advances in their professions.
CPD opportunities will, in particular, systematically cover the latest pedagogies regarding foundational literacy and numeracy, formative and adaptive assessment of learning outcomes, competency-based learning, and related pedagogies, such as experiential learning, arts-integrated, sports-integrated, and storytelling-based approaches, etc.

5.27. It is recognized that there may be several pedagogical approaches internationally for teaching particular subjects; NCERT will study, research, document, and compile the varied international pedagogical approaches for teaching different subjects and make recommendations on what can be learnt and assimilated from these approaches into the pedagogies being practiced in India.

7.8. The school complex/cluster will be given significant autonomy by the DSE to innovate towards providing integrated education and to experiment with pedagogies, curriculum, etc., while adhering to the National Curricular Framework (NCF) and State Curricular Framework (SCF).

9 of 35

Competency-Based Learning�

The competencies refer to the tactical skills of the students which they want to learn and acquire, are in the process of learning and developing or the ones which they have already accomplished. This type of learning focuses on the benefits provided by the acquirements of core competencies or the skills they prefer to learn and how it is delivered to the students.

10 of 35

Experiential Learning (EL):

NEP 2020 emphasizes experiential learning, which involves learning through experiences, interactions, and reflections.
This pedagogical approach focuses on practical application rather than rote memorization, encouraging students to engage actively in their learning process.

11 of 35

VAK teaching�

VAK is a modern teaching method whose effects can be seen clearly.
The VAK teaching method was introduced in the 1920s to help children with dyslexia.
We divide leaner into three categories: Visual, Audio, and kinesthetic (movement).
One needs to recognize to which category they belong to or the teacher must know to which category her students relate to.
In VAK, V is visual means seeing the data, A is Audio means gathering information by hearing the data, and K is Kinesthetic means feeling the data.
A teacher should keep the category of students in kind while teaching because some students catch the information by seeing, by hearing or by feeling. So, they should present the same material in different ways.

12 of 35

Artificial Intelligence Learning (AIL):

With NEP 2020's focus on integrating technology into education, AIL has gained prominence.
It involves using AI tools and techniques to enhance teaching and learning experiences, personalized learning paths, and adaptive assessments.

13 of 35

Sports Integrated Learning:

NEP 2020 advocates for holistic development, including physical fitness and sports education.
Integrating sports into the curriculum not only promotes physical well-being but also teaches essential life skills like teamwork, discipline, and leadership.

14 of 35

Gamification:

Gamification involves applying game design principles to non-game contexts, such as education, to enhance engagement and motivation.
NEP 2020 encourages the use of gamification to make learning more interactive and enjoyable, fostering a conducive learning environment.

15 of 35

�Gamification�

It is a well-known fact that children love games either it is online games or playing games at the field.
Teaching through games is one of the essential modern teaching methods that has been in use under modern teaching ways.
The responsibility of teaching through Gamification is of teachers as they should plan or design projects that will be suitable for the students of their respective age.
Teachers can organize online quiz, puzzles or brain games. This modern teaching method is a fun learning method to teach.

16 of 35

�Problem-Based Learning�

The next comes in the problem-based learning, which comprises a whole set of activities under the tag of problems and providing solutions which will enhance the skills and knowledge of the students to a greater extent.
This will also provoke their enthusiasm level and initiates the problem-solving aspect of the thinking in their minds.
According to the problem-based learning system, the teachers allow the students with a particular set of problems that will challenge their learnings and the acquired skills so far.
The students need to solve the problem using their intelligence, and this also serves as an efficient technique.

17 of 35

Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Case-Based Learning (CBL):

NEP 2020 emphasizes PBL and CBL, which involve students solving real-world problems or analyzing case studies to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
These approaches shift the focus from passive to active learning, empowering students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios.

18 of 35

�Project-Based Learning�

Project-based learning makes more sense in the 21st century Education system. Also, this is something which the teachers should consider as a part of the modern education system.
The projects refer to the tasks given to the students entirely associated with the field they are pursuing.
They are provided with practical case studies which require the application of their skill set and knowledge to provide an optimum solution to the problem.
These are challenged through the types of projects included in the project-based learning system.

19 of 35

Integrated Learning (IL):

NEP 2020 promotes an interdisciplinary approach to learning, where subjects are taught in a cohesive manner rather than in isolation.
Integrated learning encourages students to make connections across different disciplines, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts and promoting holistic learning.

20 of 35

Spaced Learning�

Spaced learning is one of the modern teaching methods, which is being followed by teachers.
In this method, teachers repeat a lesson multiple times, basically until the students understand entirely.
However, the teacher repeats the course with two 10-minute spaces (break) in-between the lessons.
The gap is meant to refresh the mind by playing physical activities or mindfulness techniques which prepares them for the next session of the same lesson.

21 of 35

Teacher-Based Pedagogy (TBP):

NEP 2020 recognizes the pivotal role of teachers in the education system and emphasizes the need for continuous professional development (CPD).
TBP focuses on empowering teachers with pedagogical skills, innovative teaching methods, and technology integration to facilitate effective learning outcomes.

22 of 35

�Collaborative Learning�

Students present their ideas and expect a response when they are in group learning.
It allows them to exchange their creativity and gain more knowledge.
In return, it helps them to learn to face healthy criticism and cross-questions.

23 of 35

Active Learning:

NEP 2020 advocates for active learning methodologies that engage students in the learning process through discussions, group activities, problem-solving tasks, and hands-on experiences.
Active learning promotes higher-order thinking skills, creativity, and retention of knowledge.

24 of 35

Flipped Classroom�

In this method of teaching, the teaching procedure takes place in a flipped manner.
As unlike traditional ways, students study new material or content at home by themselves and practice the same at school.
The method is the reverse of providing content at school and asks students to rework on it or practice it at home.
The students practice this method at home by watching a video tutorial, search online, or work on the content usually shared by the teacher.
They do not need to complete the homework at home. Instead, they complete it at school.

25 of 35

�Self-learning�

Curiosity pushes the learner to learn new and more always. It drives the learners to learn and memorize large spaces of the text that they will either miss gratefully or forget immediately.
Through their curiosity, students get motivated to explore the subjects they are interested in.
Teaching students to operate the internet and find results themselves helps them to be self-dependent and gives them a deep understanding of the content.

26 of 35

�Crossover Learning�

The not-so-common modern teaching method is Crossover learning which uses both formal and informal teaching and learning environments.
It is one of the perfect ways to give the best education to learners.
Crossover learning effectively engages learners and provides authentic yet innovative results.
A formal setting is a traditional setting, i.e., Classroom to provide education.
While, the informal environment of teaching is museums, seminars, and after-school places.
The learners can take notes or collect pictures as their data and produce them as the information once they backed in the Classroom.
They can share collected information with other classmates and can discuss it for better results.

27 of 35

Design Thinking

Education provides all the powerful platforms that promote Innovation and creativity inside the students. Therefore design thinking and its purpose is nothing else than the promotion of innovative ideas and creative activities in the minds of the students. This will give them a newfound enthusiasm to enter into the curriculum and bring up their best.
The teachers who are about to apply the modem teaching methods can make use of the design thinking approach in order to promote innovative ideas among the students. They can be offered with a particular set of questions or problems that triggers their creative mindset and forces them to pull out some successful innovative solutions to the issue.

�Methodologies that Every 21st-Century Teacher Should Know�

The modern education system prevailing in this 21st century requires advanced methodologies that’d create a unique and progressive space for them compared to the older educational methods. The 21st-century teaching methodologies have developed new horizons of learning which the participants should explore.
As a participant of the same advanced education system, the teachers should also take the practical methodologies and the perks of the same into consideration. For that, they need to know and clear about specific methods.

32 of 35

�Why modern teaching is the need of the hour?�

However, with time being changed to an extent, learners demand new techniques and methods to gain knowledge.
Involvement of learners not only in theoretical study but ensures them to provide practical knowledge, sharpen their skills, and make them educated to face any kind of challenges.
Modern teaching methods are the only way to meet the requirements of modern times.
