Pre-primary education ensures a smooth transition to primary education and lays the foundation for lifelong learning. It is universally acknowledged to reduce drop-out rates in formal education.
-
Philosophy
NextPlay is a quality pre-primary education which is based on play and hands-on learning and caters to early-age curiosity is the need of the hour. It is based on multiple proven research methodologies from around the globe.
-
Focus
NextPlay curriculum takes an integrated learning approach to ensure balanced development in the five key domains of learning, namely, Cognitive, Emotional, Linguistic, Social and Physical, in a pre-schooler.
Approach
Audiovisual integration with books: Integration of TeachNext makes characters from the books come alive and makes abstract concepts meaningful.
Age-appropriate progression: It is in sync with the various stages of growth and development of a child.
Real-life connect: It is designed keeping in mind a child's environment so that abstract concepts can be understood easily by them.
Integrated approach: It integrates two or more concepts to teach a skill, enabling children to make meaningful connections.
Multiple learning opportunities: Books, various activities and interactive audiovisual modules engage children in the learning process
Primary and Middle School Curriculum
-
Learning to construct knowledge
Primary and Middle School education helps build a connection between the environment and the information imparted to the students. When students learn through experiences, they become architects of their knowledge and develop a love for learning.
-
Philosophy
The aim is to shift from teacher-centric to child-centric approach, making the child the centre of learning, with the teacher acting as a facilitator. The teacher is a passive observer, giving the child the required space to learn and grow at his or her own pace and develop a love for learning.
-
Focus
Our curriculum is based on thematic approach and carries a real-life connect with the learners' environment to make learning an engaging and effective experience.
Approach
Thematic learning: Stories, poems, plays, non-fiction and infographics are organised around clearly defined age-appropriate themes.
Interdisciplinary learning: Revisits a concept or skill from different perspectives and takes learning beyond subject boundaries, so that students can make connections between different areas of learning. This greatly improves the cognitive process.
Caters to multiple intelligences: It is important to use activities and tools that are most suitable for each student. It provides activities and projects which help in experiential learning as well as in development of skills that are not innate in the student.
Enquiry-based approach: Enquiry-based learning starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios and involves self-directed Enquiry or research by the student. This encourages critical thinking.
Secondary and Senior Secondary School Curriculum
-
Raising the bar to meet future challenges
Secondary and Senior Secondary School education prepares students to confidently face future challenges of higher education and professional life.
-
Philosophy
An ideal senior secondary curriculum should ensure a learner's holistic development and prepare them to confidently meet the challenges of higher education. Mindful of the importance of this responsibility, our educational solutions are designed to maximise the output of the learning process, to ensure clarity of concepts,enhance critical-thinking skills and independent research abilities, and above all make them future-ready
-
Focus
The analytical approach of the curriculum prepares students to meet the requirements of higher education. Our global curriculum is a blend of local contexts and world-class teaching methodologies.
Approach
Age-appropriate: Even with a move up the grades, the basis of the curriculum remains the same. The lessons become more complex and more abstract concepts are taught knowing that the learners will be able to grasp them. The medium of teaching-learning shifts from the kinaesthetic towards the visual and the aural, having been able to make kinaesthetic learners receptive to the visual and auditory styles of learning. The concepts, whether in maths or science are not as based on real-life application as in the lower grades. More theories , jargons and technical terms are introduced.
Self-learning: We understand the necessity and benefits of supplementing classroom education with self-learning in higher-grades. We therefore have LearnNext+, our self-learning solution that helps learners develop the practice of self-learning, a habit which will greatly assist them in their future academic life where the role of the teacher would be that of a facilitator.
Smooth progression: INext Education curriculum solutions ensure smooth progression of concepts across grades. To take the example of maths, linear equations in algebra are introduced in the 6th grade, expanded upon in the 7th and graphical representation is taught in the 9th grade. Care is taken to introduce themes that are more organised.
Research @ Next
-
We now provide a third-party (IIT B) developed objective metric to our customers to measure the quality of e-learning content. This helps them make informed decisions and not go by sales demos (of competitors as well as ours) alone, which tend to showcase only best-case scenarios.
-
We have also developed standardised metrics to evaluate the quality of our print content and ensure that the content complies with the pedagogical standards.
-
We constantly revamp and improve our content to suit these standards. Quality for us is content that is up-to-date with respect to what is prevalent and relevant in the ever-changing e-/digital learning industry.
-
We are involved in getting data from the field WRT TeachNext implementation, curriculum implementation, teacher training and other services and products we offer. This data is collected through rigorously designed experiments and standardised research practices followed in academia. We use this data to address gaps and improve our products and services.
