NCERT prepares bridge course guidelines to address learning gaps

The National Council of Educational Research and Training has prepared bridge course guidelines to address learning gaps and build a foundation for easy transition asking schools to implement the same. According to the guidelines prepared by the Council, while a two-week foundation programme will be introduced for class third, for class 6 a month-long bridge programme has been proposed to provide students with an experience of activity-based, fun-filled learning, free from curriculum load and the burden of non-comprehension. In line with the NCF, the guidelines suggested innovative pedagogical approaches such as teaching mathematics using magic tricks, puzzles, and games, project-based learning for vocational education, introduction of regional games for physical education, learning Science through conducting experiments and developing models, and field trips, among others. The focus on concept development indicates that the teacher must pay attention to the prior concepts that students might already have and how to use those concepts to bring about active learning,” the guidelines stated.
