Pedagogy refers to the art, science, and practice of teaching, It encompasses the theories, beliefs, values, and approaches that guide a teacher’s actions and decisions in the classroom. Effective pedagogy aims to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment that promotes student engagement, motivation, and achievement. It considers the diverse needs, abilities, and experiences of learners and adapts to meet those needs. The National Education Policy (NEP), at its core, focuses on evolving pedagogical approaches to meet the diverse needs of learners and equip them with the skills necessary for the 21st century.

The key pedagogical strategies promoted by NEP 2020 include Multidisciplinary and Holistic Learning, Integrated Curriculum, Project-Based Learning, Experiential Learning, Student-Centered Learning, Integration of Technology, Blended Learning, Competency-Based Education, Focus on Foundational Literacy & Numeracy, Inclusive Education and Teacher Professional Development.

DPS Greater Faridabad is committed to aligning its educational practices with the guidelines provided by the NEP. We are implementing innovative teaching methods, integrating new-age technologies, and fostering a holistic approach to learning to ensure that our students receive a future-ready education.

We are adopting several key highlights of NEP, such as introducing a flexible and multidisciplinary curriculum, promoting experiential learning, focusing on skill development, and emphasizing the use of technology to enhance learning outcomes. Our curriculum structure promotes critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities to prepare students for a rapidly changing world.

NEP encourages a shift from rote memorization to competency-based assessments. At DPS Greater Faridabad, we have redesigned our assessment methods to focus on competency based learning as per the curriculum goals.

To foster creativity and critical thinking, we are encouraging project-based learning, hands-on activities, and collaborative problem-solving approaches. Our teachers are trained to facilitate a conducive learning environment that promotes curiosity and exploration. We are committed to providing regular professional development opportunities for teachers to keep them abreast of the latest teaching methodologies and technologies. We are focused on nurturing a continuous learning culture among our educators.

DPS Greater Faridabad is dedicated to nurturing the skills and talents of students beyond academics. We provide opportunities for students to excel in sports, arts, music, and other co-curricular activities. Our focus is also on community driven activities. We are leveraging digital tools and resources to enhance the learning experience and to make education more accessible and interactive for our students.

By promoting holistic, experiential, student-centered, and technology-integrated learning, NEP 2020 aims to create an education system that is dynamic, inclusive, and capable of preparing students for the challenges of the future. Embracing these pedagogical changes is essential for educators to foster an environment that nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning among students.
