PRAGNA STD 1 MATHS BEST PRACTICE BOOK
PRAGNA activity-based learning approach
Many programs across the country such as DPEP, SSA, NPEGL are moving towards globalization of elementary education. As a result, there has been a significant improvement in the enrollment and maintenance of children at the primary level over the past decade. Yet, despite sincere and dedicated efforts at various levels for quality in education, there is still a long way to go. When one thinks of general elementary classes, the picture of a teacher-centric classroom that comes to mind is as follows:
The teacher always dominates the classroom, there is no allowance for children to learn their own development.
It is believed that all children will learn at the same time and in the same way.
Problems of the multi-grade and multi-level nature of the classroom are not taken into account.
TLM is rarely seen by children as a general practice.
Most of the materials used are not ready for self-learning.
The child has no chance to learn the lessons he missed during his absence in class.
Assessment methods are mostly good and only test rot learning by children.
To address the above issues, Pragya - an activity-based learning approach, has been launched with the objective of correcting and overcoming these difficulties and making the classroom a more holistic and learner-based way of working with children throughout the day. Year.

However, the decision to reduce the resentment of primary teachers against the "complex teaching method" under Pragya cannot be denied.
Teachers have resisted the project on a number of grounds, ranging from the difficulty of "maintaining order" in the classroom to the grouping of different classes in one room, resulting in a loss of attention, an "extra workload" on them.
This is clearly stated in the survey report prepared and submitted by the Gujarat Evaluation Department under the General Administrative Department (GAD) in 2017. The teachers in their reply said, “It becomes difficult for the children of the same group to be assigned different activities like the students. Are on different targets "
