Boundaries and watertight compartments of domains, disciplines, content, pedagogy, and assessment, often act as silos that isolate, segregate, and limit the vastness and possibilities of knowledge and their interconnectedness. These silos can rob the learner of an engaging, holistic, and multifarious learning experience, and the teacher of the ability to implement creative and innovative pedagogies addressing all domains of learning.
The path-breaking National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) 2023, systematically break down each of these invisible walls with the help of a no-silos sledgehammer. This no-silos approach to learning in NEP and NCFSE is constructed on the understanding of the symbiotic relationship between the body, mind, and spirit of the learner and is the basis for building bridges between theory and reality, content and competency, disciplines and multi and interdisciplinarity, teaching and learning, abstraction and application, assessment and feedback, and between rote-learning and integration of technology, skills, values, and dispositions.
This book explores the breakdown of artificial barriers in learning in a unique and captivating manner, suggests practical first steps, and provides useful toolkits for practitioners and stakeholders to help embrace the silo-free, quality, joyful, levant, and engaging NEP way of learning.
