A STUDY OF PBL USING TECHNOLOGY FOR THE STUDENTS OF GUJARAT

Abstract

Various methodologies have been applied in terms of developing teaching and learning in Gujarat. Methods like traditional method, Grammar translation method, Situational functional method, Experimental method, Direct method, Structural method etc. have been pioneer in enhancing the learning-teaching across the India even in Gujarat. Yet remarkable development in pedagogy has not been observed due to endless number of reasons, such as inefficiency of the implementer and implementation of appropriate method. Many methods and approaches have been implemented for the development of English based psychology and pedagogy of teaching. English subject becomes compulsory in Gujarat from std 5th to Graduate level. Students learn English for 10 years yet many of them lack communicative competence. One of the chief reasons for it is that most of the teachers use old traditional method in the classroom teaching. Most of them are not ready to accept the new teaching methods and approaches in the classroom teaching. Many approaches like Communicative Language Teaching, Project Based Learning, and Co-operative Learning etc. are the need of the time. Good results are produced after using new approaches in the classroom. If Technology supported Project Based Learning is put forward for piloting the students learning, desirable goals can be achieved. Even this Technology supported Project Based Learning make them competent with 21st century skills, like digital age literacy, inventive thinking, interactive communication, social and personal skills etc. which is the soul requirement of this era.
