NCF-Aims of Education(Based on the Constitutions’ Vision of India) • Independence of thought and action • Learning to respond to new situations flexibly and creatively • Pre-disposition for participation in democratic process and social change • Empower all children to learn
Distortion of Aims of Education(Learning has become a source of burden and stress for children) • Textbooks/Workbooks • Information Overload • Incomprehension • Tests and Examinations
Problem of Overloaded Present Curriculum • Joyless learning • Examination system • Textbook as the ‘Truth’ • Structure of syllabus • Language Textbooks • Starting Early
NCF – Learning And Knowledge The Child as Learner and What Should be Learnt NCF Perspectives Commonly Held Views All children are motivated and capable of learning Children learn in a variety of ways Developing capacity for abstract thinking, reflection and work are most important aspects of learning Child as a ‘critical’ learner and constructor of knowledge Different types of knowledge as embodied in the traditional curriculum as well as in the world outside the school Not true of large numbers of children Children learn in limited ways Developing generally only skills necessary for helping students pass or excel in examinations Child as passive imbibers of textbook information and providing set answers to all questions Knowledge as embodied in textbooks

NCF - Science What biology can Janabai, an ‘incapable’ tribal secondary school student learn ? What biology does she know ? • Can use different plants as sources of food, medicines, fuel, wood, dyes and building materials • Recognises differences between trees and notices seasonal variations based on shape, size, distribution of leaves and flowers, smells, textures • Can identify 100 different plants – more than her biology teacher who believes Janabai is a poor student
NCF - Science • Science should nurture curiosity and creativity particularly in relationship to the environment • Science teaching should be placed in the context of children’s environment to help them enter the world of work • Awareness of environmental concerns
NCF – Social Sciences • Equip children to think critically on social issues • Interdisciplinary approach to key national concerns such as gender, human rights, marginalised minorities, etc. • Civics to be recast as political science • Significance of history – conception of past and civic identity
NCF-Mathematics • Main goal of Mathematics is Mathematisation rather than Knowledge of Mathematics
