Sachin Mohite, Meenal Dashputre

Abstract


The entire education system is moving from the teacher-centered teaching-learning approaches towards student-centered teaching-learning approaches, with anticipation that it would increase the learning outcomes. This empirical study was carried out to compare the traditional and non-traditional classrooms. It also tried to understand the effectiveness of the Alternate Instructions in the Mathematics and Primary Language (Marathi) classrooms. This study collected about 8000 snapshots from the classrooms of Government schools. Based on the empirical evidences, study can claim that Non-Traditional classrooms show more Time-on-Task (ToT) as compared to the Traditional classrooms. Study could show interesting trends of ToT throughout a session of 35mins. It also compared those trends for Mathematics and Marathi.
