Tricia Niesz with Ramchandar Krishnamurthy and Vaishali Mahalingam Independent Report submitted to Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Tamil Nadu July 2012Activity-based learning in India
Activity-based learning, or ABL, describes a range of pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core premises include the requirement that learning should be based on doing hands-on experiments and activities. Activity-based learning is rooted in the idea that children are active learners rather than passive recipients of information. If children are provided the opportunity to explore on their own and are provided with an optimum learning environment, then learning becomes more joyful and long-lasting.
