WHAT IS LEARNING OUTCOME
…what a learner
is expected to
know, understand &
be able to do
as the result of
a process of learning.

NEED FOR IMPROVING LEARNING OUTCOMES
 Children’s ability to perform linked to PERFORMANCE OF TEACHERS
 Reports suggest that TEACHERS DON’T LACK SUBJECT KNOW HOW but are NOT
TRAINED enough to cater to individual needs of children
 It is a known rhetorically that ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE UNIQUE and so are their
learning and understanding abilities
 Some kids learn FASTER, some are comparatively SLOW
 Some are VISUAL learners, others are AUDITORY learners, and still some others
learn faster from KINESTHETIC techniques.
 MI AND VAK provides the teachers with tools that can help them
 Identify INDIVIDUAL ABILITIES and inclinations
 Identify INDIVIDUAL LEARNING STYLES

IDENTIFICATION OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES (MI)
Create awareness about Multiple Intelligence
 Help teachers identify their and students intelligence type
Intrapersonal Interpersonal Visual
Bodily / Kinesthetic
Musical
Natural Linguistic Maths / Logical
Spiritual

IDENTIFICATION OF MEDIUM
Identify the medium of understanding & categorize the medium
into:
Visual
Kinesthetic
(Learning by Doing)
Audio

OUTCOME ANALYSIS
Post Attending the Training
The feedback was taken through detailed questionnaires analysis
 29% Teachers do not integrate computers in classroom practice
 54% of the participants believe that Learning at schools can’t be matched with online
learning
 Interpersonal, Maths / Logical and Visual Spatial are the most common in-born
Intelligences demonstrated by the group with 83-85% responses in favor of these
respectively
 Visual learning style was observed as the top rated learning style among 48% of the
participants
 67 % Teachers said it will help Nurture children's attitude and their power to think
 97% Teachers think Innovative learning techniques will affect overall school success
 The teachers firmly believed that the programme would be useful for all their
colleagues. Most of the teachers lacked the Basic Computing Skills &
Knowledge

NEED FOR ICT TRAINING
 Students in the current generation are exposed to knowledge and application
of IT tools at a very early age
 School Education Department asserts that teachers should possess basic ICT
skills in the age of Information Technology
 Teachers in Maharashtra to a great extent lack ICT skills – which was also
evident from learning outcomes survey / feedback.
 Departments future focus is on extensive use of ICT tools and techniques in
pedagogy
 Keeping in mind the above scenario Accenture was asked to include ICT
training as additional scope to Learning Outcomes Programme
 Accenture submitted a training and content framework which relates to the
application based ICT trainings in education

STEPS TO BE TAKEN GOING FORWARD
 Extending the Program to Upper Primary Schools
 Centralized Portal for managing trainings across the State

WHY UPPER PRIMARY?
 Upper Primary Teacher strength is 30% of the total teachers in Maharashtra
 The largest number of drop-outs are from Upper Primary to Secondary sections
 Various Educational Reports (NAT, MHRD, etc.) highlight the gaps in learning
abilities of students at Upper Primary level
 Students are not able to cope with the increasing difficulty level of the syllabus
 Learning Outcomes programme has received appreciation from Secondary
Teachers undergoing the training
 Upper Primary is ideal level wherein Teachers need to be made aware of
Innovative Teaching & Learning techniques, so that
 Students can respond better to the increasing difficulty level
 Make them aware of their Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles
 Nurture students’ confidence and power to think
 Thus, reducing the drop-out rates
