A STUDY ON TRANSACTIONAL VALUE BASED PEDAGOGY AND ASSESSMENT IN FOUNDATIONAL LITERACY AND NUMERACY FOR UPPER PRIMARY CLASSES AND SUPPORTIVE INSTITUTION IN THE AGE OF AI
Foundational literacy and Numeracy refers to the essential basic skills of reading, writing and mathematical reasoning that a child must acquire by the end of Grade 3.NIPUN Bharat and NEP 2020 were introduced to prioritize FLN because it is the baseline for lifelong learning. Without these basic skills, children struggle to catch up in later grades, which significantly increase the risk of drop outs. Even when they reach secondary classes and senior secondary including collegiate education this learning gap exists. Globally, 53 percent of 10 year olds in low and middle income countries cannot read and understand a simple story. According to NEP 2020, over five crore children in India's elementary schools lack foundational literacy and Numeracy (FLN) skills. This challenge gets widened when students reach upper primary classes and secondary classes. The present study will examine the existing gap in selected schools for upper primary classes i.e. 6, 7 and 8th grades and intervention strategy will be taken up including the components of oral language development, decoding, fluency in reading, reading comprehension, and writing pertaining to foundational literacy and key components of foundational numeracy will include pre-number notions, numbers and operations, shapes and geometrical understanding, measurement and data handling. Experimental study will be taken up including AI intervention pedagogy and assessment for enhanced institutional set up in the age of generative AI. The study will probe into existing challenges in teaching and learning of English language and mathematics in upper primary classes and suggest innovative value based pedagogy.
