Philosophy/Beliefs
Jodo Gyan is a self supporting not-for-profit organization working in the area of activity based education since 1998. Jodo Gyan's efforts arise from the conviction that quality education can be provided to our children only by linking their thought processes with their own experiences. The focus is to provide complementary services for the formal education imparted in schools by developing/making available materials and modules for activity based learning.
In Jodo Gyan we combine the spirit of non-profit motive with the decision to face the challenges of the market. Jodo Gyan itself is a learning organization with a vision of promoting human cooperation, autonomy and accountability.
Work Description
The objective of Jodo Gyan is to support the development of educational materials based on actual classroom experiences, mainly in the area of science and mathematics. We have designed some educational materials based on our own experiences of the teaching-learning process and we produce them with the participation of community members in Shakurpur, a resettlement colony in north-west Delhi.
In case of mathematics, we have drawn on research by late Hans Freudenthal and his colleagues at the University of Utrecht. We also make available various innovative educational materials and teaching practices from different parts of the country developed through the creative activities of organizations such as Navnirmiti and Eklavya.
We make a small contribution to the education of children in Shakurpur and we collaborate with similar organizations working to promote activity based education in other parts of India. Ours is a modest attempt to support the challenge that our teachers and parents face in providing quality education to our children. We reach out to children, parents and teachers of Delhi through schools and community organizations, display and demonstrations and fairs in schools and community centers to promote changes in classroom practices and joint-activity between parents and children.
