Experiential Learning opportunities for SNGV students
It’s better to see something then to hear about it a thousand times.” Every expedition made is an experience which leaves students pondering and implores them to think.
Shree Narayana Guru Vidyalaya endeavours to inculcate a holistic approach towards learning amongst the students. Continuing this legacy an "Educational Trip” to VSSE (Vikram Sarabhai Space Exhibition) at the Space Application Centre, Ahmedabad was organized for the students of Class 9th and 10th.. Educational tours to organizations like SAC (Space Applications Centre) often spark students’ curiosity and imagination and encourage them to become increasingly involved in Sciences.
This center is dedicated to Sir Vikram Sarabhai for his contribution to the Space Research Program. A model of a Satellite Launcher at the entrance of the center fascinated all the students. One enthralling movies were shown to the students on the process of launching of Space Crafts and the activities of Astronauts in Space ship. The mechanism of launching satellites was explained by the demonstrators through LED screen too. The visit was really a great experience and students learnt about more about geostationary and polar satellites.
This trip was organized by SNGV school management keeping in mind that Learning that is considered "experiential” contain all the following elements:
*Reflection, critical analysis and synthesis.
*Opportunities for students to take initiative, make decisions, and be accountable for the results.
*A designed learning experience that includes the possibility to learn from natural consequences, mistakes, and successes.
400+ students of SNGV English medium secondary section participated in this experiential learning process.
