A STUDY OF EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTIVITY-BASED TEACHING METHOD IN THE POLITICAL SCIENCE SUBJECT OF CLASS 9th

Abstract

Education is a social concept, philosophically evolved, psychologically developed and socially based. It is no more mere instructions or communications of knowledge, but also the acquisition of useful skills. Education is as old as the human race itself. Parents, teachers, politicians, reformers, social workers religious leaders and so on, are all equally interested in it. Hence education has been regarded as Sine qua non of all human societies. Education is a light that shows the mankind the right direction to surge. The purpose of education is not just making a student literate but adds rationale thinking, knowledge-ability and self Sufficiency. When there is willingness to change, there is hope for progress in any field. Creativity can be developed and innovation benefits both students and teachers. Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living. “Whatever the experience the child has in the school must be real and vital to him like that of home or neighborhood, since the school is a reflection of the larger society outside its walls, in which life can be learned by living”. When education of all aspects is necessary to live a best life, many disciplines are added in the curriculum. Political science is one of them.
