The Uttar Pradesh government has developed a comprehensive action plan to promote experiential and skill-based learning by introducing the ‘Learning by Doing (LBD)’ model across 3,288 government schools and District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) institutions in the state.
Key Points
- About: The initiative aims to make education more experiential, skill-driven, and future-oriented, replacing rote memorisation with a “learning by doing” approach.
- It aligns with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasises critical thinking, creativity, and innovation-driven learning.
- Training Programme Details: The Basic Education Department will conduct train-the-trainer programmes to build teacher capacity.
- The training will be conducted in 66 residential batches, focusing on integrating classroom learning with experiments, projects, models, and real-life applications.
- Objectives:
- To transform classrooms into spaces that encourage understanding, exploration, and discovery rather than memorisation.
- To equip teachers with practical teaching methods that foster creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking among students.
- To prepare learners for a skill-based, innovation-driven, and AI-powered economy.
- Significance:
- The Learning by Doing model enhances active learning by allowing children to experiment, question, and explore solutions independently.
- It promotes curiosity, analytical ability, scientific outlook, expression, and problem-solving skills, transforming students from passive listeners to active learners.
- The initiative is expected to redefine the identity of basic education in Uttar Pradesh and set a benchmark for other states.
