Methodology

'Cultures grow on the basis of Tradition'. Our teaching methods are modern yet include important traditional elements. It is crucial that students receive individual attention from the teacher. At The Landmark School, one of the Best CBSE Schools in Manyata Tech Park, Bangalore East, we ensure that the student to teacher ratio is low to ensure that focus and concentration is given to each student so that all their requirements are catered to thus providing them with a high-quality education. Our consistent success rate is a result of this modern teaching technique. Our unique teaching style also includes a collaboration of culture in the form of music, dance, drawing, art, and photography together with the basics of academics to ensure that our students not only learn the important lessons of our syllabus but also enjoy and have fun in the learning process.

Inquiry Based Learning

  1. Question

    Inquiry begins with the desire to discover. Curiosity is the force that drives inquiry and discovery. It generates multiple questions and a keen search for answers. Thus, the process of asking questions lays the foundation of learning and discovery.

  2. Observe

    Observation and experience mark the next step of the inquiry process. By making various observations, individuals are motivated to move out of their comfort zone and gather experiences and ideas about their observations. They are prompted to begin identifying similarities and differences and make inferences based on their observations.

  3. Investigate

    Investigation involves continuous and consistent observation, questioning, survey, experimentation, mathematical analysis, and drawing out conclusions. An investigation may take unanticipated twists and turns since solving one problem may lead to another. In order to ensure smooth investigation, organized planning, data collection, implementation, judgement, and control of variables is mandatory.

  4. Hypothesis

    Developing a hypothesis requires consistent explanation with observation, questioning, and evidence. Making a hypothesis involves the application of information from past evidences and experiences that may contribute to the explanation of both how and why certain events may have occured.

  5. Communicate & Reflect

    In an inquiry-based classroom, there is open and unrestricted communication. Communication can be oral, written, or with the help of a presentation. It involves asking questions, discussions with one another, listening to explanations, and presenting individual opinions and views in a precise and clear manner. Communication goes far beyond the simple exchange of knowledge. It also indicates that socially gathered and shared information also adds to individual learning and development.

(1) Having a concrete experience followed by

(2) Observation of and reflection on that experience which leads to

(3) The formation of abstract concepts (analysis) and generations (conclusions) which are then

(4) Used to test hypothesis in future situations, resulting in new experiences.

Experience

Makes learning relatable to students:

Students build on what they already know and are provided with opportunities to make connections between new concepts and existing ones.

Increases the effectiveness of learning:

Students engage in critical thinking, acquire problem solving skills and engage in decision making.

Links theory to practice:

Students have the chance to engage in the experience and practice what they have learned, see the application of the theoretical concepts in practice, process that application and make generalizations.

Increases students' engagement,

by encouraging collaboration and scaffolding between learners.

Assists in memory retention,

by building strong relationships between feelings and thinking processes. Students have the capacity to learn successfully when the information is associated with values and feelings.
