Learning by Experience
TEACHING & LEARNING
Engaging, experience-led teaching designed around how every child learns.
OUR CONCEPT OF TEACHING AND LEARNING
- We believe that children blossom in an environment free of unhealthy fear!
- We believe that each child will blossom but at different times; so we have to give each one the time!
- We believe that reward rather than punishment facilitates learning!
- We believe that teaching is never complete till learning is complete!
- We believe that we need to teach the way students can learn!
- We believe that the world is beautiful because of the variety!
- Let the teacher and student together perform great acts of strength!
TEACHING MATHEMATICS FROM THE CHILD’S PERSPECTIVE
At AAMS we believe teaching Mathematics from the child’s perspective; VAK – Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic approach has to be followed, which helps the children understand the complexities and abstractness of Mathematics easily. This encourages the child’s confidence during the learning process.
From the teachers’ point of view, the math kit approach provides another dimension of teaching Mathematics with ease, backed up by an audio-visual interactive software support for reinforcing the learnt concepts and building speed with accuracy and confidence while solving Math by applying the understood abstract concepts.
OBJECTIVE OF DEPLOYING LABS
- To provide the practical experience of the abstract concepts of Mathematics, Science, etc.
- Enabling the child to visualize, investigate, explore, experience and enjoy Math concepts.
- To reach every child of the classroom in the way they understand Math.
- To enable, empower and provide the teachers to experience all dimensions of the process of teaching and learning Mathematics.
- An effective initiative for children to get rid of their Math phobia.
- Encourages children to understand Math by the “learning by doing” methodology and successfully carrying it out, advocated by the NCERT.
IT ASSISTED LANGUAGE LABS
Language learning is entertained in AAMS because one can never understand a language until he understands another language. If learning one language opens the window towards the world, another will open doors. Therefore @AAMS we established Information Technology assisted Language Labs.
Our Language labs provide practice in an entertaining and interactive way to acquire the four main language skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing.
Furthermore, computer assisted language learning effectively increases communication skills.
HOW LEARNING IS EVALUATED
At AAMS, evaluation is done in two ways. While learning with hands-on activities, the teacher has an opportunity to observe children while they are doing the activities and can assess their understanding. Secondly, with the help of the observation sheets of every activity, the teacher evaluates the learning. Apart from these, worksheets are created by teachers with the help of available technology.
Enhanced teaching-learning: children are able to understand concepts through experience clearly, quickly and effectively. The time taken to explain the concepts with the traditional method gets reduced drastically. The “to know more” factor enhances the exploring attitude of every child and facilitates him / her to understand Math the way he / she can.
