Abstract

To reach the fullest inner potentialities of children for making them successful in every venture of their life in this modern and ever changing competitive world, it is the matter of great concern to create a positive, enriching and conducive learning environment in the school, 'the second home' of the child. This positivity can be attained by nurturing the child in emotionally and intellectually safe, sound and joyful climate where his/her different capabilities, interests, attitudes and learning strategies are welcomed and appreciated in an encouraging and pleasant manner. Joyful learning, which focuses on process rather than products, is the consequence of these above given requirements and demands. It basically includes engaging, inclusive, playful and purposeful learning experience in a loving and supportive environment to make learners enjoy and get happiness in the learning process. Joy, content, delight, pleasure, satisfaction...these are the feelings which we want to attain while doing any task on regular basis from healthy morning tea to delicious dinner. How can we devoid the students of this feeling by our autocratic and rigid teaching practices? To make learners more efficient, they must be emotional resilient which can be possible by building an emotionally positive and joyful environment in the classroom. The present paper deals with the same idea of joyful learning and its creation by the teacher in an active, pleasant, cheerful and bright classroom with long-lasting effect.

Abstract

Fear of examination drags the young mind of youth into the dark and isolated hole of stress and anxiety which sometimes leads to the extreme step of committing suicide. Various committees have worked on it and have recommended required and essential steps in the form of different National Curriculum Frameworks to de-stress students along with other stakeholders including teachers and parents. While modifying aims, methods, means and modes of education as per the changing scenario of the nation, examination has never been neglected or underestimated by concerned reform committees of curriculum frameworks. This paper is an attempt to study different curriculum frameworks published by NCERT in order to analyze the major structural and procedural changes they have introduced to improve and bring reform in examination system.
