NEP 2020 says

“Education must move towards less content, and more towards learning about how to think critically and solve problems, how to be creative and multidisciplinary, and how to innovate, adapt, and absorb new material in novel and changing fields.”

NEP 2020 Goals
Skills Encourage the development of skills such as critical thinking, creativity, scientific temper, communication, collaboration, multilingualism, problem-solving, ethics, social responsibility, and digital literacy.
Curriculum Transform the curriculum, textbooks, pedagogy and assessment.
Holistic Learning Minimize rote learning and encourage holistic development.

NEP 2020 and Science Education

NEP 2020Inquiry based Discovery oriented Experiential learning

The first and most important one being - Inquiry based learning. It is an approach that enables learners to develop their understanding on their own.

An important aspect of inquiry based learning is adopting a hands on approach, through experiential learning. Students engage in and reflect on personal experiences related to whatever they learn as part of the curriculum (Slavich & Zimbardo, 2012). Discovery oriented learning is another important extension of Inquiry. In a discovery oriented learning environment students are taught through problem solving or projects, which help them discover a new understanding of underlying concepts. (Stokkes, 2015).

NEP 2020Learner centric Self-directed

NEP 2020 encourages students to adopt a self-directed learning approach that will ultimately help them develop an inquisitive mindset towards science as well as life.

We empower teachers by helping them implement a learner centric approach in classrooms. Learner-centric approaches see students as autonomous learners who are responsible for setting and achieving their learning targets by choosing how, when and where they learn. Learner-centric approaches change the role of a teacher to become a facilitator of the learning process.

NEP 2020Competency based teaching and assessments

NEP 2020 stresses on revamping the assessment process by introducing competency based learning and evaluation.

CBL is a pedagogical approach that focuses on measurable student outcomes. The evaluation of student progress is based on how well students demonstrate their understanding of a concept (Albanese et al., 2008). CBL is concerned with all-round development of students.

NEP 2020 is all ready to revolutionize learning. Xperimentor aims to make schools, educators and students NEP 2020 ready.

LET US SEE HOW

Inquire, Innovate, Integrate Modern learning spaces are changing with the focus of both students and teachers shifting towards holistic learning of science. While schools and educators are getting ready to implement NEP 2020 with an emphasis on 21st century skills, we at Xperimentor set out to innovate, inquire and integrate - the materials, means and methods to enhance the quality of science learning.
Competency based learning Xperimentor uses a combination of pedagogical approaches which are also suggested in NEP 2020 in order to provide the complete learning experience to young students and empower teachers. Xperimentor has adopted Competency Based Education to ensure proficiency in learning through demonstration of both knowledge and skills, required for dealing with real life situations at the age and grade appropriate level.
Future of Science Education Through inquiry based quests, a hands on kit, and an interactive digital app, Xperimentor addresses the essence and vision of NEP 2020 of self-directed and discovery oriented learning and lays out a path for the future of science education.
