Abstract :
The surge in developing concepts rather than
being the disseminators of information is
the thought reflected in the New Educational Policy
2020, where the National Curriculum Framework
emphasises on Outcome Based Education, taking into
account all the 6 levels of Bloom’s taxonomy to avail the
advantage of compassion, empathy and faith which
humans possess and is an advantage over AI. The paper
evaluates the advantage of the role of Kinesthetic
Learning Activity method in understanding basic
concepts of Physics over traditional methods. This study
was conducted during the year 2023 in two schools in
West Bengal on a sample of 39 students on the topic
Transfer of Heat for Grade 11 Physics. The samples of
students were taught the topic traditionally first, then
Kinesthetic Learning Activities were framed and
conducted. On the data collected for pre and post KLA
statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. The
calculated value of t in paired t-test for Transfer of Heat
is 15.117 which is highly significant at 1 percent level of
significance. Major improvement in post-KLA score is
observed which increased from an average value of 9.15
to 21.21 for the topic. Analysis of questions based on 6
levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy also showed a major increase
in score amongst a majority of students with all taxonomy
scoring above 34 on administering KLA .The study
clearly shows differences in pre and post-KLA are highly
significant. Thus it is concluded that KLA was very
effective in teaching the target topics to the target
groups.
