Vikalp – an experiential learning initiative
Vikalp is a social enterprise of researchers, professionals and social activists who have come together to integrate “learning by doing” with blackboard teaching. Endeavor is to find a workable solution for classroom practices to make learning more meaningful and holistic. Our curriculum and school timetable are integrated and we work with parents, teachers, and students.

In a normal classroom situation, one teacher teaches around 30 to 60 students. A teacher alone cannot fulfill the diverse learning needs of numerous students. This gap in the teaching-learning process can be addressed by adopting experiential learning in classroom. In this process students “learn by doing”. They are engaged in manipulation and in the process student discover knowledge.

Once students start understanding, pen and paper are introduced and they start application on the worksheets. Each activity and worksheets are assessed and a skill report is prepared. This is uploaded in VANES (Vikalp Assessment and Evaluation System) which evaluates and generates diagnostic report with the future roadmap. The learning continues and assessment becomes an integral part of teaching-learning process.
