Learning the Concepts of Magnetic Effects of Current through Experiential Learning Approach as Envisaged in National Education Policy 2020

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP2020) introduced a paradigm shift in Indian education by focusing on the worth of experiential learning. This approach goes beyond rote learning by bringing students at the centre of the learning process. Present study discusses how experiential leaning approach can be practiced for learning the concepts of magnetic effects of current. The study also attempts to facilitate teachers in equipping with requisite knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for applying experiential learning approach not only in the learning teaching process of science classrooms but beyond the four walls of the classrooms. To realise the importance of the four main stages viz. experiencing, reflecting, conceptualising, and experimenting of experiential learning, a few concepts of magnetic effects of current have been taken into consideration for facilitating the learning teaching process of science in classrooms. The study summarizes how an experience can be transformed into a trustworthy source of knowledge. Hence it is envisaged that one should go through all the four - stages of experiential learning for making learning the concepts of magnetic effects of current more meaningful.
