Abstract:
The National Curriculum Framework (2005) stresses the importance of the
constructivist approach in classroom learning. In a constructive perspective ,
learning is a process of construction of knowledge. Learners actively construct
their own knowledge by connecting new ideas on the basis of materials or
activities presented to them through their experiences.
The document on Learning Outcomes 2017 which is a pioneer step of
NCERT, New Delhi establishes a linkage between pedagogical process and
Learning Outcome . As an outcome of this document special training
programmes were conducted from June 2017 in all parts of India to orient
school teachers and different boards in the States as well as CBSE on Learning
Outcomes.In this context, all the DM Schools were selected for
implementation of Learning Outcomes and accordingly training programme
were conducted for the DM School faculty. The need to conduct research on
the implementation of learning outcome in DM Schools was emphasized.
There are several approaches which are used to develop language skills.
Constructivism is a major paradigm shift in the field of learning. Language
learning is facilitated through social interaction. Therefore, constructivism is
an approach which promotes language learning. This research study on
constructivism and its impact on learning outcomes in English at upper
primary level in DM school, Bhopal is an attempt to conduct a meaningful
research to showcase that an improvement in language learning, especially
English is possible if constructivism strategies are adopted in English class room
and learning outcomes can be attained
The study is based on learning outcomes in English at Upper Primary Level
and is also focused on the Demonstration Multipurpose School, Bhopal. It will
serve as a role model to other researchers. Best practices and innovations to
promote learning and improving performance in English at Upper Primary
School Level can be shared which can mutually benefit school teacher and
learners.
