Learning Outcomes


WHAT IS LEARNING OUTCOME

…what a learner

is expected to

know, understand &

be able to do

as the result of

a process of learning.


Children’s ability to perform linked to PERFORMANCE OF TEACHERS

Reports suggest that TEACHERS DON’T LACK SUBJECT KNOW HOW but are NOT

TRAINED enough to cater to individual needs of children

It is a known rhetorically that ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE UNIQUE and so are their

learning and understanding abilities

Some kids learn FASTER, some are comparatively SLOW

Some are VISUAL learners, others are AUDITORY learners, and still some others

learn faster from KINESTHETIC techniques.

MI AND VAK provides the teachers with tools that can help them

Identify INDIVIDUAL ABILITIES and inclinations

Identify INDIVIDUAL LEARNING STYLES

NEED FOR IMPROVING LEARNING OUTCOMES


Create awareness about Multiple Intelligence

Help teachers identify their and students intelligence type

IDENTIFICATION OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES (MI)

Intrapersonal Interpersonal Visual

Bodily / Kinesthetic

Musical

Natural Linguistic Maths / Logical

Spiritual


Identify the medium of understanding & categorize the medium

into:

IDENTIFICATION OF MEDIUM

Kinesthetic

Post Attending the Training

The feedback was taken through detailed questionnaires analysis

29% Teachers do not integrate computers in classroom practice

54% of the participants believe that Learning at schools can’t be matched with online

learning

Interpersonal, Maths / Logical and Visual Spatial are the most common in-born

Intelligences demonstrated by the group with 83-85% responses in favor of these

respectively

Visual learning style was observed as the top rated learning style among 48% of the

participants

67 % Teachers said it will help Nurture children's attitude and their power to think

97% Teachers think Innovative learning techniques will affect overall school success

The teachers firmly believed that the programme would be useful for all their

colleagues. Most of the teachers lacked the Basic Computing Skills &

Knowledge

OUTCOME ANALYSIS


Students in the current generation are exposed to knowledge and application

of IT tools at a very early age

School Education Department asserts that teachers should possess basic ICT

skills in the age of Information Technology

Teachers in Maharashtra to a great extent lack ICT skills – which was also

evident from learning outcomes survey / feedback.

Departments future focus is on extensive use of ICT tools and techniques in

pedagogy

Keeping in mind the above scenario Accenture was asked to include ICT

training as additional scope to Learning Outcomes Programme

Accenture submitted a training and content framework which relates to the

application based ICT trainings in education

Next Steps


Extending the Program to Upper Primary Schools

Centralized Portal for managing trainings across the State

STEPS TO BE TAKEN GOING FORWARD


Upper Primary Teacher strength is 30% of the total teachers in Maharashtra

The largest number of drop-outs are from Upper Primary to Secondary sections

Various Educational Reports (NAT, MHRD, etc.) highlight the gaps in learning

abilities of students at Upper Primary level

Students are not able to cope with the increasing difficulty level of the syllabus

Learning Outcomes programme has received appreciation from Secondary

Teachers undergoing the training

Upper Primary is ideal level wherein Teachers need to be made aware of

Innovative Teaching & Learning techniques, so that

Students can respond better to the increasing difficulty level

Make them aware of their Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles

Nurture students’ confidence and power to think

Thus, reducing the drop-out rates

WHY UPPER PRIMARY?
