Creating Advanced Education System Through New Approaches of Learning as Per Nep2020

सार

After independence, the Education system of India has undergone significant changes, beginning with the first National Education Policy (NEP) of 1968, followed by the revised policy in 1986. Now, after a long duration of 34 years, the Indian Cabinet finally adopted the 21st-century National Education Policy on July 29, 2020, with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4)—“Inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all.” In this globalised world, this policy gives a new, forward-looking and holistic vision to the Education system of India. The main focus of NEP 2020 is to introduce new innovative pedagogical practices in the curriculum aimed at enhancing teaching and learning effectiveness and outcomes. This paper focuses on discussing the various transformative changes in pedagogical initiatives, like: Differentiated Instruction as a flexible and inclusive pedagogical approach, Experiential learning pedagogical approach, Multidisciplinary and holistic pedagogical approach, Technology and digitally enhanced learning pedagogy, which is based on the review of NEP 2020 policy document and the relevant literature review that supports this study. Furthermore, it conducts a thorough analysis of different case studies to evaluate both the implementation processes in different states of India and the challenges faced in the implementation of innovative pedagogy. After analysing these aspects, this paper aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of innovative pedagogical aspects of NEP 2020 to the Indian education system.
