In the present day, the pressure of study disconnects a child with the surroundings. Most of the students are unable to make connections between what and why of the learning. In the traditional school teaching, kids have a difficult time understanding concepts as how these are related to the world outside the classroom.
XtraEdge, design learning solutions to ignite the curiosity and encourages children to apply the learnt concepts rather than memorize them. Our solutions in the form of Learning Sheets and story sessions ignite their thinking processes and take them beyond the world of textbook knowledge.
Xtraedge solutions are designed on the basic of “Contextual Learning”. As human brain perceives patterns and resists meaningless information, our sheets and story sessions stimulates the brain by engaging it in a way which makes sense to it,
Science behind our approach
The human brain has a unique ability to use previously learned concepts in solving newer problems. It has amazing capability to reorganize and make new connections between millions of neurons when they are challenged, stimulated and given an exciting experience in the right context.
Anatomically, it is not the millions of neurons but their interconnections, that make us SMARTER. In the formative years the process of making interconnections between neurons can be enhanced to great heights by engaging the brain by asking questions set in familiar contexts in a fun and exciting way. The questions should challenge the brain and encourage critical thinking.
Skill focussed Curriculum
As the knowledge is changing at faster pace, the skill is the Key for success in coming world. Our brain finds it easy to build on existing skills. So skills acquired early in the life makes it easy to acquire new skills.
Our curriculum is based on 3-tier integrated skill matrix which does not only develop skills in the present but prepare children to learn in the future. The right foundation of skills built during formative years keep a person ahead in academic and life.
- Processing of new information in own frames of reference
- Seeking context by searching for relationships that make sense
- Gives content of knowledge along with the context of application
- Develop the ability to solve problems
Contextual learning is a proven concept that incorporates most recent research in cognitive science. Jean Piaget, a Swiss philosopher is considered to be pioneer in it.
- Connect different subjects to get wholesome picture and apply learning.
- Theme based learning connecting different subjects and activities.
- Develop the solutions based approach from early age.
- Application oriented learning
Integrated Learning is the approach to connect the learning to application.It enable children to connect the learning to solve the problems.
