PREFACE

With the aim to begin working towards the objectives of National Education Policy 2020,
Central Board of Secondary Education is delighted to share ‘Teachers’ Resource for
Achieving Learning Outcomes’ . This document is a resource for teachers to help them
incorporate Learning Outcomes in their day-to-day teaching and learning with children.

The document also provides a mapping for each chapter of all core subjects from class 1st
to 10th . The mapping for each grade-subject is divided in three parts: Section I, II and
III. The Section I and Section II have been ad-verbatim taken from the NCERT Learning
Outcomes. The Section I is a list of suggested pedagogy and Section II is the list of
Learning Outcomes that a child is expected to achieve by the end of each class stage.
Further, Section III contains a mapping of each chapter from NCERT textbook and several
Learning Objectives and Learning Outcomes. The Learning Objectives for each chapter
could be used by teachers to plan their lessons while keeping an eye on the expected
learning outcomes. More objectives can be developed by teachers while taking up the
chapters. We trust and hope that the teachers would find this mapping useful and would
engage with each other on the ways this can be beneficial in day-to-day teaching and
learning.

Opinions and suggestions on improving this document are welcome. These inputs would
be helpful to improve this resource material and shall be incorporated in the subsequent
editions. All possible efforts have been made to remove any technical or typing errors and
present this resource material in a form that the teachers would find it easy and
comfortable to use.

Section I
Suggested pedagogical process
The learners maybe provided with opportunities individually /in groups and
encouraged to -
Observe, group / classify materials, such as mixtures, based on their properties, viz.
Solubility, passage of light, etc. By performing various activities. Based on the observations,
a discussion may be facilitated to help arrive at the appropriate conclusions. Students with
visual impairment or low vision may be motivated to observe solubility of the materials by
touching.
Design and carry out activities, for example, “tug of war” to understand balanced and
unbalanced forces. They may be encouraged to experiment by applying forces (equal and
unequal) on an object in same and opposite direction, followed by peer group discussion
to generalise.
Study the daily life experience, such as the cause behind cooling of water in earthen pots.
They may be encouraged to measure and compare the temperatures of water both in
earthen pot and metal containers, thereby helping them to relate process of evaporation
with cooling effect. Students with visual impairment or low vision may be encouraged to
feel the difference in temperature by touching the surfaces of the containers
Conduct survey to understand the process of spread of diseases. They may be encouraged
to visit hospitals / dispensaries, collect data from doctors and nurses about various
diseases. They can prepare a report on spread, causes, prevention and cure of diseases.
They may share their findings with the community through role plays / skits and also
campaign for prevention.
Discuss their observations / ideas / learning through flow charts / concept maps / graphs.
Gather data for calculating different physical quantities, such as distance, displacement,
velocity, which can be shared and discussed in groups /with peers. Rubrics can be used to
assess the conversion of units and reporting results.
Collect and analyse wide variety of graphs from newspapers, magazines or internet. They
may be encouraged to draw, analyse and interpret the graphs (for example, distance-time,
speed-time or acceleration-time graphs of motion of a vehicle on straight road)
Write formulae of simple compounds, chemical equations, etc. Using play way methods
such as a game of cards.
Select and use appropriate devices for measuring physical quantities. They may be
encouraged to find the minimum and maximum value that can be measured by an
instrument and note down the readings correctly.
Collect information from books, e-books, magazines, internet, etc. To appreciate the efforts
of scientists made over the time, for example various models of atoms, discovery of
microscope and showcase it in the form of a project / role play.
Observe various technological devices / innovative exhibits such as waste management
kits, water filtration system, using low-cost / no-cost eco- friendly materials, develop them
and showcase it in science exhibitions / clubs / parent-teacher meets.
Share / discuss their beliefs and views regarding myths / taboos / superstitions by
initiating an open-ended debate, leading to the alignment of their beliefs to the
scientifically proven facts. They may also be involved in awareness campaigns in
community.
