Teaching Pedagogy
An integrated curriculum allows children to pursue learning in a holistic way, without the restrictions often imposed by subject boundaries.
Learner-centric teaching methodology that is based on Inquiry-based learning
Inquiry-based learning is a student-centered teaching method that encourages students to ask questions and investigate real-world problems. In this type of learning environment, students are actively engaged in the learning process and are given the opportunity to explore their natural curiosities.
We follow L.S.R.W. pattern(Listening -Speaking-Reading-Writing) for holistic development through embedded instructions learning system.
Every child is born with some ability. It is nature which is going to nurture the child to become a well-rounded personality. The first school for any child is the home and the first teacher is the mother. When a child enters the school, we need to accept the child and provide a well-rounded curriculum and conducive environment for the child to grow.
There are many psychologists who have told the stages of development of personality. We at Vishwa Vidyapeeth believe in Howard Gardener’s “Theory of Multiple Intelligences”. Multiple Intelligences are a set of abilities, talents or mutual skills that an individual possesses to a greater or lesser extent. Every child will have a dominant intelligence modality. We at Vishwa Vidyapeeth try to focus on every child’s strength and the dominant intelligence so as to nourish the same.
Based on their dominant intelligence, a child’s future career choice is influenced. If a child is not able to pick up the instructions orally, the same children will be able to understand the concept in the form of art or music like a rhyme or indulging them into coloring activity. At Vishwa Vidyapeeth, we concentrate on what are the strengths of the child so that they will achieve the specified goal. Our children are exposed to various mediums of learning.
Concept Based Learning
The pre primary programme is spread out over four years – Playgroup, Nursery, Lower Kindergarten, and Upper Kindergarten. Keeping in mind the social, emotional and cognitive requirements of the child, the pace of the curriculum is set.
The idea is to have a safe and secure learning space to help children concept based learning with help of color theme programs and other age-appropriate activities. We lay equal emphasis on the school ethos of discipline and mutual respect wherein each child is encouraged to think independently.
School is the safety net that protects our children from deprivation and provides a platform where children can be offered opportunities to explore and grow together. At Vishwa Vidyapeeth we aim to nurture the early years of a child to understand the world around them.
