Abstract
At the Deepika School we have students who
have difficulties with reading and writing, some
with very short attention spans and some slow
learners. The conventional modes of teaching did
not yield positive results, so we started out with
a small endeavour in 2007. We took our students
for a school tour to Andhra Pradesh to facilitate
the learning of the Social Sciences and found that
it had a tremendous impact on them. It brought
about a complete transformation of personality.
Students learned life skills, which are essential for a
balanced outlook, they expressed more interest in
the world around them, they were inspired by the
grandeur of the monuments and sculptures built by
kings of yore and came back with renewed zeal to
pursue learning through textbooks. Walking into a
field of crops of that region gave them first-hand
experience of the geography of the country.
