Creative Educators, a registered NGO, has been demonstrating a revolutionary teaching technique in schools and colleges based on the concept of constructivism. National Curriculum Framework 2005 and the National Policy on Education also want constructivism in education. Constructivism can be achieved if teachers stop teaching through lectures and inspire students to think and construct new knowledge. There are hardly any signs in education that this is being carried out. Thousands of seminars are held on constructivism. However, students are not trained to construct knowledge. Constructivism means that a student constructs knowledge by combining what he knows and what is made available to him. The new knowledge that he constructs is as per his objectives and understanding. This construction of knowledge is possible if students read, speak, think, write and listen on the course material available. This improves if students discuss in permanent groups of six which contain good, bad and average students. This advances groups dynamics, peer learning and peer pressure. These are vital for learning. The technique of Creative Educators has been demonstrated on six million students. Written feedbacks from them have unanimous approval for the technique. Students said their concentration, learning and confidence improved by using the technique. The technique is explained in this book. The book advances constructivism to makes learning fast and progressive. We believe that this technique can make India rich and prosperous.
