MEDODOLOGY

Lower Kindergarten is inspired by works of founders of experiential learning approach like John Dewey, Kurt Lewin and Jean Piaget. However, our methodology is very similar to David Kolb’s four-stage model of experiential learning. It is argued that our methodology is practical application of this approach in teaching school curriculum.

  1. First stage– Learning begins with concrete experience. Concepts are introduced via learning toys. Children play and discover concept.
  2. Second Stage– This learning continues in mobile games where children reflect on what they have understood. They think about the concept from different angles while playing games on mobile.
  3. Third stage– Once they start grasping the concept, pen and paper is introduced. Conceptualising begins and children start thinking in abstract and starts doing exercises on workbook. This is a gradual movement from concrete to abstract.
  4. Fourth stage– Now children start experimenting and applying their understanding. At this stage children’s activities and pen and paper work is assessed and diagnostic report is generated. Remedial is planned and learning continues.

CONCEIVED BY 

Following two educators of Indian origin has contributed significantly in the conception of this idea:

  • Average scale score of sample where conventional teaching is practiced – 88 out of 200
    Average scale score after 1 year of implementation of Vikalp methodology – 105 out of 200

Conducted by Lean data study by Acumen – New York based assessment agency

  • 80 % parents observed increase in their child’s score
