Chapter-1

Building as Learning Aid Scheme: A Glance

1.1. Introduction

Education is one of the inputs to ensure the quality of life of an individual.

Every child has the right to education irrespective of age, gender, background,

socio-economic status, race, caste, creed, religion and ability. The National Policy

on Education (NPE) 1986 in the section on “Education for Equality” has

emphasized the need for removal of disparities and to equalize educational

opportunity by attending the specific needs of those who had been denied so far.

For achieving equalization of educational opportunity children of remote or

nomadic population, children from linguistic, ethnic or cultural minorities, girl child,

street and working children, children with disabilities, children affected by

HIV/AIDS should have access to quality education comparable to other children.

Consequently, we need to use a variety of teaching methods and activities to

meet the different leaning needs of our children.

Education is one of the most powerful mechanisms for developing

intellectual prowess; that meaningful interaction with adults, peers, and the

environment is essential in mediating the learners intellectual development; that

learning is a continual transformation of inner perceptions, knowledge and

experiences; and that all human beings have the potential to continually develop

their intellectual powers throughout their lives (Costa, 2001).

Human beings all around the world are living with an earnest desire to

achieve further and further through innovating new things, which makes life more

comfortable. For leading a serene and valuable life, present century demands

multifaceted, creative and exuberant personalities. The most persuasive weapon

which helps us for making our life comfortable, successful and self sufficient in this

world is Education. According to Nelson Mandela, the former president of South

Africa, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the

Page 5: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

world”. Education is the foundation for the social, cultural, technological and

economic evolution of a country (Joseph, 2014). Our former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam describes education as one

that fosters capacities such as spirit of enquiry, creativity and moral leadership

which are central to nation building in a democratic set up. The challenges of the

fast changing economy demand increasing flexibility in terms of knowledge, skills

and capability. In this global age, Education must be fit for a highly skilled,

educated work force and creative citizenry. Beyond the economic rationale

educators must have an ethical obligation to assist all the students in realizing to

their highest potential (Joseph, 2014).

The important role played by the Universal Elementary Education (UEE) in

strengthening the social fabric of democracy through provision of equal

opportunities to all, has been accepted since the inception of the Republic of

India. With the formulation of national policy of education, India initiated a wide

range of programmes for achieving the goal of UEE through several schematic

and programme interventions Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan being one among them

(MHRD, 2016).

1.2. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), a centrally Sponsored Scheme

implemented by Government of India in partnership with State Governments, is

India’s main programme for universalising elementary education. Its overall goals

include universal access and retention, bridging of gender and social category

gaps in education and enhancement of learning levels of children (Raju, & Singh,

2011).

Launched in the year 2000-2001, SSA has achieved considerable success

in universalising elementary education. Today, there are 19.67 Crore children

enrolled in 14.5 lakh elementary schools in the country with 66.27 lakh teachers at

elementary level. The interventions under SSA include, building of school

infrastructure, provisioning for teachers, periodic teacher training and academic

resource support, making available learning resources for children like textbooks,

computers, libraries; equity being the focus, residential schools for girls known as

the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas have been set up, identification of children

with special needs and providing them need based support including aids and

appliances; monitoring and supervision for making schools effective and building

local level accountability by engaging with community based organisations.

(MHRD, 2016).

The mission statement of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is to achieve

universal enrolment of all children in the age group 6-14 years in elementary

education, ensuring all children to learn at grade appropriate level (MHRD,

2016a). The Scheme was further revised in April 2008 to extend its benefits to the

recognized as well as unrecognized Madarsas / Maqtabs (MHRD, 2016c). A step

further in this direction was provided by the Right to Education Act (MHRD,

2016a).

1.3. Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009

India is having 23.4 Crore of youth comprising 20% of its population (and

channelizing their energies and providing quality education is a daunting task

Vajpeyi & TEDx, 2016).

The Right to Free & Compulsory Education Act 2009 provides a justifiable

legal framework that entitles all children between the ages of 6-14 years free and

compulsory admission, attendance and completion of elementary education. It

provides for children's right to an education of equitable quality, based on

principles of equity and non-discrimination. Most importantly, it provides for

children's right to an education that is free from fear, stress and anxiety (MHRD,

2016a)

Article 21-A and the RTE Act came into effect on 1 April 2010. The title of

the RTE Act incorporates the words ‘free and compulsory’. ‘Free education’

means that no child, other than a child who has been admitted by his or her

parents to a school which is not supported by the appropriate Government, shall

be liable to pay any kind of fee or charges or expenses which may prevent him or

her from pursuing and completing elementary education. ‘Compulsory education’

casts an obligation on the appropriate Government and local authorities to provide

and ensure admission, attendance and completion of elementary education by all

children in the 6-14 age group. With this, India has moved forward to a rights

based framework that casts a legal obligation on the Central and State

Governments to implement this fundamental child right as enshrined in the Article

21A of the Constitution, in accordance with the provisions of the RTE Act. The

RTE Act also:

• Makes provisions for a non-admitted child to be admitted to an age appropriate

class.

• Specifies the duties and responsibilities of appropriate Governments, local

authority and parents in providing free and compulsory education, and sharing

of financial and other responsibilities between the Central and State

Governments.

• Lays down the norms and standards relating inter alia to Pupil Teacher Ratios

(PTRs), buildings and infrastructure, school-working days, teacher-working

hours.

• Provides for appointment of appropriately trained teachers, i.e. teachers with

the requisite entry and academic qualifications.

• Prohibits (a) physical punishment and mental harassment; (b) screening

procedures for admission of children; (c) capitation fee; (d) private tuition by

teachers and (e) running of schools without recognition,

• Provides for development of curriculum in consonance with the values

enshrined in the Constitution, and which would ensure the all-round

development of the child, building on the child’s knowledge, potentiality and

talent and making the child free of fear, trauma and anxiety through a system of

child friendly and child centred learning. (MHRD, 2016b)

With the passage of the RTE Act, changes have also been incorporated into the

SSA approach, strategies and norms. A per the directions of MHRD, all states

must move in that direction as speedily as feasible (MHRD, 2017).

1.4. Current Status of Elementary Education in India

Primary school enrollment in India has been a success story, largely due to

various programs and drives to increase enrolment even in remote areas. With

enrollment reaching at least 96 percent since 2009, and girls making up 56

percent of new students between 2007 and 2013, it is clear that many problems of

access to schooling have been addressed. Improvements to infrastructure have

been a priority to achieve this and India now has 1.4 million schools and 7.7

million teachers so that 98 percent of habitations have a primary school (class I-V)

within one kilometer and 92 percent have an upper primary school (class VI-VIII)

within a three-kilometer walking distance. The Annual Status of Education Report

(ASER)-a household survey-put out by Pratham is a consistent and excellent

source of information on the quantity and quality of primary education in India. It

Page 8: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

7

has been conducted annually since 2004, and covers more than 90% of India’s

districts in a statistically rigorous manner. The ASER trends-over-time report that

covers the period 2006 to 2014, points to a decline in children not enrolled from

about 4% at the beginning of the period to about 2% now. It shows a steady

increase in the number of children enrolled in private schools from about 20% to a

little over 30% over the period (HT Media Ltd & Ramachandran, 2016). Despite

these improvements, keeping children in school through graduation is still an

issue and dropout rates continue to be high. Nationally 29 % of children drop out

before completing five years of primary school, and 43 % before finishing upper

primary school. This lands India among the top five nations for out-of-school

children of primary school age, with 1.4 million 6 to 11 year olds not attending

school. In many ways schools are not equipped to handle the full population –

there is a teacher shortage of 689,000 teachers in primary schools, only 53

percent of schools have functional girls’ toilets and 74 percent have access to

drinking water.

Additionally, the quality of learning is a major issue and reports show that

children are not achieving class-appropriate learning levels. The trends in quality

measured in reading, arithmetic and English are alarming. According to Pratham’s

ASER 2013 report, close to 78 percent of children in Standard III and about 50

percent of children in Standard V cannot yet read Standard II texts. Arithmetic is

also a cause for concern as only 26 percent students in Standard V can do a

division problem. Without immediate and urgent help, these children cannot

effectively progress in the education system, and so improving the quality of

learning in schools is the next big challenge for both the state and central

governments. Private schools perform better than government schools, though

there is substantial room for improvement. There is a significant variation among

states in both quantity and quality (HT Media Ltd & Ramachandran, 2016).

Another limitation could be insufficient and inefficient use of the available

school’s physical resources towards the teaching and learning process. Less

focus is laid on whether these small children feel comfortable in the place where

they have come from their varied nests for learning purpose. Children perceive

their world through a multisensory experience, especially utilizing their tactile and

visual senses. However, the manner in which education takes place, especially in

rural government-managed schools, is strictly one-dimensional. Teachers follow a

Page 9: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

8

rote method of teaching and, apart from the student’s textbooks, there is little

other material to reinforce learning. Also, during their teacher’s absence, children

have no access to resources for constructive engagement. The typical

architecture of government schools in India has a very classroom-centric

approach. Spaces adjacent to classrooms remain underutilized and do not

contribute to the learning environment. Most schools continue to function in

dilapidated buildings that provide an unstimulating setting for students. The

school’s design also drastically affects the teacher’s productive output and

classroom management. Studies have conclusively proven that children learn best

in a child-friendly, stimulating, and aesthetically pleasing environment. All these

factors detract from educational opportunities in rural areas, where education is

the only way out of abject poverty. Thus improving learning will require attention to

many things, including increasing teacher accountability, more efficient monitoring

and support systems, and efficient use of school’s physical resources such as

school building.

There is immense opportunity to utilize building spaces. The dynamic

design of the building and its engaging layout is fundamental in attracting child

towards the school. Equally important are the design of the classrooms in which

students spend most of their time. Studies have shown that the fun filled,

aesthetical environment relieves children of boredom and increases constructive

use of time (Sharma, Adsure, & Varjani, 2010). The enhancement of the physical

environment makes not only an aesthetic improvement, it transforms how the

physical space connects with teachers and students. These factors may play a

vital in reducing the dropouts from schools.In order to triumph over these

limitations and acknowledge building as an important part of the basic elementary

education, the government initiated a scheme called “BaLA i.e. Building As Learning Aid”.

1.5. Building as Learning Aid (BaLA)

School buildings have traditionally been conceived and treated merely as

brick and mortar structures to house education activity. The interface between the

building design and the design of the teaching and learning programme has

received scant attention, and the possibility of using the physical space as a

learning resource only sporadically explored.

Page 10: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

The physical environment that encompasses us or a child at any point of

time provides varied opportunities and potential to interact with it and learn.

Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) is about developing and using the physical space

around the child as a learning resource in a child-friendly manner. BaLA scheme

focused on developing an understanding on how the physical space around us

can be developed as a learning resource. It is about what can be creatively done

with existing environments using local resources. The ideas can be easily applied

to new school situations as well (Vajpeyi, 2010).

In Hindi, BAL means a child or a boy and the acronym BALA means a girl.

BALA is an innovative way to look at the relationship of a child with the schools

space. Physical space can be a resource in the teaching-learning process has

never been explored seriously.

BaLA scheme is an innovative concept towards qualitative improvement in

education, through developing child-friendly, learning and fun based physical

environment building in school infrastructure. Building as learning aid is about

maximising the learning value of the school space. A range of learning situations

and materials can be actively used as a learning resource by innovatively treating

school spaces like classrooms, circulation spaces, outdoors, natural environment

and their constituent built elements i.e. floor, wall, ceiling, door, windows, furniture,

open ground etc. This resource can complement the teaching process and

supplement textbook information.

The major objective of BaLA scheme is to holistically plan and use the

school infrastructure. It incorporates the ideas of activity based learning, child

friendliness and inclusive education for children with special needs. At the core, it

assumes that the architecture of school can be a resource for the teaching-

learning processes.

BaLA is about developing the school’s entire physical environment as a

learning aid – the inside, the outside, the semi-open spaces – every where. At the

core, it is about maximizing the educational ‘value’ of a built space. It is based on

‘how children learn’.

Schools are specialized spaces for learning. Traditionally, school buildings

were conceived to provide shelter to the activity of education. They were treated

as structures of bricks and mortar, rather than as enclosures that encompass a

learning environment. Often, not much attention is paid to the interface between

Page 11: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

10

building design and the design of the teaching and learning program – how the

use of space and its constituent elements, including lighting and ventilation, can

support more diverse learning activities apart from frontal teaching (for example,

for small group learning, individual reading, for project work).

The fact that physical space can be a resource in the teaching-learning

process has never been explored seriously. Buildings are also the most expensive

physical asset of a school. By innovatively treating the school spaces (e.g.

classroom, circulation spaces, outdoors, natural environment) and their

constituent built elements (like the floor, wall, ceiling, door, windows, furniture,

open ground) a range of learning situations and materials can be integrated such

that they can actively be used as a learning resource. This resource can

complement the teaching process and supplement textbook information, much

beyond providing wall space for posters and decoration.

A three-dimensional space can offer a unique setting for a child to learn

because it can introduce a multiple sensory experience into the otherwise uni-

sensory textbook or a blackboard transacted by a disinterested teacher. It can

make abstract concepts more concrete and real from the child’s perspective.

Dimensions, textures, shapes, angles and movement can be used to

communicate some basic concepts of language, science, mathematics and

environment, to make learning a truly enjoyable and memorable experience for

children. BaLA scheme vouches for the following:

• BaLa can be introduced even in the building components of an existing

school.

• It can be combined with building repairs, up-gradation and new

construction.

• It makes joyous learning possible for children.

• It makes a variety of learning materials accessible to children outside the

classroom, even after school hours.

• It has the potential to create conducive self-learning situation for children.

• BaLa learning aids are not standard. Teachers can adapt them to suit their

own specific needs and conditions.

• The learning materials, integrated in the built environment, are more lasting

and durable, and cannot be stolen or misplaced.

• Even though fixed, these learning aids can be used in multiple ways. • The

value of the school building increases manifold at a fractional increase in its

actual cost.

1.6. BaLA – its Roots and the spread in India

It would not be wrong if we say that Mr. Kabir Vajpayee is the founder or

initiator of BaLA activities in Government Schools. Mr. Kabir Vajpayee’s

involvement in education began with the Lok Jumbish Programme in Rajasthan.

He was among the architects chosen to innovate with existing school buildings in

rural areas. The challenge was to repair and renovate structures creatively with a

budget of Rs 25,000. After Lok Jumbish, Mr. Kabir Vajpayee and his team worked

with at Vinyas to put together some 100 different ideas which schools elsewhere

in country could implement. This was BaLA and it became a book brought out with

the help of the World Bank. Hence BaLA as an idea originated in Lok Jumbish in

Rajasthan in 1997 - 98. It was in its infancy, with no name at that time. Vinyãs’

Interdisciplinary Study and work with several experts from child development,

pedagogy, environment, science and others led to a more systematic set of about

150 design ideas during 2000-2001. This we called as BaLA – Building as

Learning Aid. This work was supported by UNICEF, India. It was only in the latter

part of 2004 and early 2005 that systematic dissemination of the idea started and

the central as well as the state governments took keen interest in adopting the

idea and taking it to planning and implementation. The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation

and its then Director General and Senior Programme officer of Education were the

key force in pushing us as well as the Ministry of Human Resources Department

(MHRD). At the HRD ministry in Delhi, once they were clear about the concept,

they were forthcoming to ask the states to take it on immediately – on their own

initiative. (Sharma, Adsure, & Varjani, 2012)

The concept of BaLA was originally developed by Vinyas, Centre for

Architectural Research & Design with support from UNICEF. It is now

implemented across the state in all districts, since 2006. Several teachers and

Head Masters of schools have been trained to plan, implement and effectively use

the BALA concept in schools.

BaLA was conceived under the project ‘Creating Teaching-Learning Aids

and Experiences in the Primary School Built Environment'.

12

VINYÃS has advised and provided consultancy to the Government of India,

the World Bank, UNICEF, UNESCO, UNDP, DFID, GTZ, Aga Khan Foundation,

Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, HUDCO, apart from several NGOs and private

institutions on matters related to education, building design, conservation, tourism,

training, construction, policy, etc.

Their work has been listed amongst 32 Inventive Indians: Great Stories of

Change in 2009. Vinyãs conducted workshops and training programmes for

administrators, architects, engineers, teachers and masons in participative design

and construction practices. Vinyãs’s work had also been featured in an

international Architecture and Design magazine, - DOMUS in December 2011.

Vinyãs team has oriented and trained over 7600 Children, Teachers, Principals,

Engineers, Architects, Administrators, Policy Planners, Ministers, across the

country since 2005. Kabir has also conducted several Lectures and sessions on

planning school and other social infrastructure for more than 400 Phase 1, Phase

III and Phase 1V officers at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of

Administration since 2010.

Kabir’s first book, ‘BaLA’ - Building as Learning Aid (in Hindi, English and

Marathi), has been widely read and used by several thousand schools across the

country, mostly government schools in rural or urban areas, to improve the

learning environment for children going to elementary schools. Through Vinyãs,

he and his team has been providing advice and technical support on BaLA in

developing school environments to several state governments of Jammu &

Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Punjab, Delhi, Bihar, Assam, West

Bengal, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra,

Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Kerela. Presently, he is also Advisor, Infrastructure for

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) to the Ministry of Human Resource Development

(MHRD), Government of India. Under SSA, his initiative with MHRD under Right

to Education, as part of policy at the national level is on Whole School

Development Planning, which will influence more than thirteen lakh primary and

elementary schools across the country in next few years. This school

infrastructure policy envisions school’s built environment as ecosystem for

learning. He has contributed in the National Curriculum Framework 2005 by

NCERT on School and Classroom environment. He also conceptualized the

School Infrastructure Development section in the revised framework of SSA under

Page 14: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

13

Right to Education act 2009. As member of the subgroup constituted by the

MHRD for the national level 12th Plan on Elementary Education he has

contributed significantly on the Infrastructure Development Section for the

Planning Commission of India.

Under RTE, schools are envisaged as places where children can learn and

play; schools that are a welcoming environment for children and reflect their local

culture. This manual gives specific examples on how this can be achieved. Many

of the activities capture the essence of the constructivist pedagogy approach

under the National Curriculum Framework 2005, enabling children to use the

BaLA settings and learning resources to build their own knowledge. Equally

important is the need to support teachers, parents and education officials. BaLA

needs to be complemented by good management and maintenance of school

facilities and barrier free access to all children without discrimination. The RTE Act

puts the power and responsibility in the hands of local government and School

Management Committees to ensure that a child friendly environment that BaLA

can create, remains a healthy, welcoming, child-centered setting throughout a

child's school progression.

1.7. Development of BaLA Concepts in Schools

Building as Learning Aid, or BaLA as it is now popularly known, is about

creating such possibilities for learning in all existing as well as new school

environments.

It is really possible in all kinds of schools, particularly in government

schools. In fact, in several thousand schools across the country, in Jammu &

Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Punjab and

Delhi, the concept of BaLA has been implemented by enthusiastic school

principals, teachers and civil engineers.

The respective state governments planned and approved a budget, oriented

and exposed their school principals, teachers and civil engineers on the

theoretical and practical understanding of BaLA with support from Vinyas and then

made available the funds towards the implementation. The actual mechanism may

be different in each state, but this is how it happened. In each of the states, the

one-time budget available per school was small – ranging from Rs 15,000/- per

school to Rs 40,000/- per school in most cases, except Gujarat, where for about

Page 15: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

700 existing rural and urban schools, it was about Rs 2,50,000/- per school, or in

Delhi for about 925 existing urban schools, it was Rs 2,00,000/- per school. With

wide variations in location and geography, implementing this large project was a

challenge. For example, in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, there were more

than 1,200 school sites spread across all districts including Lahoul Spiti, Kinnaur,

Kullu, etc. A few private schools also became part of the project.

• BaLA in Gujarat: In Gujarat, in January 2006, the then Secretary, Education

decided to develop ‘Dream schools’ for Gujarat, – by using BaLA ideas. He

provisioned and sanctioned Rs 2.5 lakh per school for 100 schools and the

SSA office also collected information from several other schools that had

unspent grants and donations that could be used. Each year, the number of

schools taken up in Gujarat has been steadily increasing, due to the demand

generated by the communities. At present, more than 700 schools are covered,

across all districts and blocks. Each school, block, district has its own unique

planning and design strategy as well as implementation. There was cross

sharing of experiences, innovation and continuous technical support from us.

Due to the immense pressure and demand from the communities, the

government here is now planning to get funds from the corporate sector to

support BaLA intervention in schools.

• BaLA in Himachal Pradesh: In 2006, a young State Project Director of SSA

Himachal Pradesh was already thinking about making the schools in his state

colourful by painting them with bright colours when he came to know about

BaLA. He discovered that with BaLA, schools in his state will not just be

colourful, but can be meaningfully colourful. In the next few weeks, his team

planned conducted a workshop in Shimla by inviting Vinyas team. As a result,

several districts took it on. Solan is one very good example, where the then

District Project Coordinator (DPC) took a keen interest and more than 100

schools went ahead with BaLA in this district in the next few months.

• BaLA in New Delhi: The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) in 2006 has

took the initiative to develop two newly built schools in outer, rural Delhi with

BaLA ideas and then also develop a manual with photographs and details for

about 925 Vidyalaya Kalyan Samity (VKS) in Delhi to understand, plan and

implement BaLA. About Rs 2 lakh was given to each VKS to develop the

schools with BaLA ideas. A comprehensive colourful document was published

which has also reached several parts of India.

1.8. Elements of BaLA Scheme

BaLA is a way to holistically plan and use the school infrastructure. It

incorporates the ideas of activity based learning, child friendliness and inclusive

education for children with special needs (CWSN). At the core, it assumes that the

architecture of school can be a resource for the teaching-learning processes.

There are two levels of this intervention:

• Develop the SPACES to create varied teaching-learning situations

• Develop the BUILT ELEMENTS in these spaces as teaching-learning

aids

The Spaces can be o Classroom o Corridor

o Steps o Outdoor space

The Built Elements can be o Floor o Wall

o Window o Door o Ceiling

o Platform The school buildings and their constituent elements such as floors, walls

and ceilings which have been treated innovatively are the components of BaLa

scheme to simplify the learning process. Many schools under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) as well as several other

schools run by private organisations or NGOs have made BaLA elements in their schools. BaLA elements help teachers and head teachers to plan educational activities. BaLA elements help in hundreds of activities that can

happen with the built-in teaching-learning aids in and around their school. The first series of development of BaLA concepts see transformation take place within the confines of a classroom, while the latter be aimed at integrating

Page 17: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

16

studies with the infrastructure outside the classroom. This is how the school would function, once the first phase of the BaLA initiative is implemented.

Some of the examples are as follows: • Blackboard: Blackboards stretched across the length of the classroom's four

walls will replace the traditional blackboard. These boards will also take into consideration the height of the students. On one wall, calendars will be painted

with a black grid wherein children will perform their activities. The border along the calendar could also be used to depict the seasons. This would make learning the seasons and months much easier.

• Desk: Every desk will have a scale painted on it to integrate measurement in a

child's day-to-day life. Students could enjoy measuring their lunch boxes and

books by using the desk scale and learn at the same time. Some desks would even have the desk's actual weight painted on them.

• Doors: BaLA will also make learning geometrical angles a lot simpler.

Students who have to study angles in their curriculum will find the 'Door Angle

Protractor' painted on the classroom's entrances. The angles will be aligned with the swing of the door. Students will know the exact angle at which the doors are opened as the corresponding angles will be painted on the floor.

Symmetrical shapes of geometry, traditional motifs, illusions and other patterns will also be painted along the vertical divisional line separating the two parts of the doors.

• Fans: All the colours of the rainbow will be found on the ceiling fans. However,

students would be surprised to find that when the fan rotates only white would be visible. This would help teach students the concept of VIBGYOR and that white light comprises seven colours.

• Floors: No textbook can, perhaps, integrate learning and fun the way games

painted on floors can. A 6/3 grid would be painted on classroom floors. The

note besides it reads - identify even, prime and odd numbers and students can jump only diagonally and towards the left to identify the same clan numbers

but not to the right. This makes it both, fun and simple. The Dot Boards, the Grid Boards, the Tangrams, the Calendars, the Magic

Squares can be used to depict many kinds of patterns in science and math for

children. Children, thus, become sensitized to noticing patterns in their lives. After all what do good scientists does, they are keen observers who notice and

Page 18: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

17

understand patterns and connections. Children need many real experiences in language, art, science, math, and geography. BaLA elements facilitate this

learning. Without real, concrete experiences, children cannot learn. For example, there are many different kinds of "sour"- the 'sour' of a lemon, the 'sour' of curds, the 'sour' of tamarind, the 'sour' of oranges. Can any textbook or teacher explain

these different types of "sour' without having the real experiences' BaLA is a tool to promote learning, curiosity, care and concern, wonder and lifelong learning? It

helps children to practice and revisit concepts. It also helps learning to take place everywhere - in the classroom, the corridor, the varandas, the outdoors, etc.

(Vinyas & UNICEF, 2012) BaLA is about innovatively treating the space and the built elements to

make the existing school architecture more resourceful with higher educational value in a child friendly manner.

Innovation is another basic element of BaLA scheme. As BaLA scheme has to go to such a large number of schools, there is no single entity that can

design, construct and supervise, hence, the idea to do it ‘centrally’ is absurd. But then BaLA is about a certain quality and sensitivity of the learning environment for children. So, the best course of action is to provide a frame – the frame of

essential ingredients of BaLA – within which, each stakeholder may be given some space to innovate. It, thus, can be owned by them, while ensuring that

quality at their respective end does not suffer. Thus, within the ‘frame’ of BaLA

which is about child friendliness, learning and fun-oriented, age-appropriateness, use of local resources, etc., the administrator gets the freedom to innovate the management and monitoring system that is flexible and responds to a context, the

engineer gets the freedom to improvize and adapt or even develop a new idea, an artisan who is making a BaLA element with a new refined process of construction

gets his or her name associated with it, a teacher or the children get the freedom to come up with a new use in the teaching-learning process or play and so on. 1.9. Significance of BaLA Scheme:

The concept of BaLA tries to use every little space available as a resource for learning (Vajpeyi & TEDx, 2016). Since learning is a continuous process and

happens in a continuum for a child, why do we segregate the spaces while designing? Typically, classrooms are meant for teaching-learning, corridors for

movement and outside for assembly or play. But learning from a child’s

Page 19: Study of Impact of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) …ssachd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BaLA Project report.pdf1.5 Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) 8 1.6 BaLA – its Roots and the

18

perspective is not segregated – as we know- it happens everywhere. So, why not let it happen in spaces all across the school for learning? BaLA attempts to

address this issue. It is about holistically conceiving the school environment while connecting the hitherto isolated components. It is not only about developing new schools, but also about how existing spaces can be transformed. In fact, its

genesis lies in addressing the needs of existing government schools and how they can be transformed. Other schools too could look at similar ways of transforming

their existing structures into learning environments (Vajpeyi, 2010). The major focus of BaLA scheme is child-friendliness.

While child-friendliness seems like an attitudinal issue, it is also an issue to be

addressed in the design of physical environments of schools. From the most basic provisioning of seating and chalkboards to the more complex ones like hardware, sanitary and plumbing fittings in classrooms and toilets, all need to be designed

and constructed from the perspective of child friendliness. BaLA attempts to encompass a holistic view through all such details of the physical environment

and make learning fun and child centric. Building as a Learning Aid (BaLA) aims to use the built elements like the

floor, walls, pillars, staircases, windows, doors, ceilings, fans, trees, flowers, or

even rainwater falling on the building as learning resource. For example, a window grill can be designed to help the children practice pre-writing skills or understand fractions; a range of angles can be marked under a door shutter on the floor to

explain the concept of angles; or ceiling fans can be painted with colour wheels for the children to enjoy ever-changing formations; moving shadows of a flag-pole to act like a sundial to understand different ways of measuring time; planting trees

that shed their leaves in winters and are green in summers to make a comfortable outdoor learning space. Essentially, BaLA is about

• Child-friendly learning environment. • Learning by doing and experiencing. • Involving multiple senses in the learning process.

• Allowing different children to learn at a different pace. • Learning through peer group activities. • Developing inclusive settings for all children.

• Allowing children to learn all the time in the school environment

19

It has been found that fun filled, aesthetical environment relieves children of boredom and increases constructive use of time. For children, it can help in

developing

• Language and Communication skills

• Numeracy skills

• Abstract notions through concrete examples

• Respect for nature and environment

• Capability to realize potential of available resources

• Power of observation

Vajpeyi (2010) reported following findings shared by the teachers and principals from various schools across the country, where BaLA has been implemented:

• There is increase in enrolment and retention of children

• Very often, the children come to school much before school hours and

leave much after school hours

• Learning has become more interesting for the children and the teacher

• Abstract notions are better understood through concrete examples

• Children and teachers have become more aware and ask more questions

in schools

• Distance between children and teachers has melted down

• There is decrease in vandalism and negative behaviour of children in

schools

• A more holistic approach to develop schools has taken place with better

communication between teachers and engineers.

• VEC has become more excited and contributed efforts and money for

BaLA intervention

• Parents have moved children from private schools to government school

under Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA). BaLa is a relatively new concept that has been implemented recently. It

would, therefore, be interesting to evaluate if BaLA has significantly contributed towards improving the teaching and learning outcomes in the form of learning outcome of students.

For field survey, two achievement tests are constructed and standardized

by the research team. Achievement tests are based on the developed BaLA

concepts in the schools of Chandigarh.

Firstly information is sought from the heads of all the selected 50 schools

through the Cluster Resource Coordinators about the various BaLA concepts

developed in the schools.

After reviewing the information related to developed BaLA concepts in the

schools of Chandigarh and syllabus of the class 3rd, 4th and 5th, two achievement

23

tests were developed on the following four learning parameters as prescribed by

VINYAS & UNICEF, 2012 ( Effectively using BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) in

Elementary Schools: A Teacher's Manual):

• Ways of interacting with language;

• Dealing with complexity of numbers and geometry;

• Understanding the Physical world around us;

• Knowledge of the natural environment.

2.4.1. Achievement Test for Grade-III Students:

For students of grade-III, an achievement test is developed on the four learning

parameters i.e. ways of interacting with language; dealing with complexity of

numbers and geometry; understanding the physical world around us; and

knowledge of the natural environment.

• For the parameter -1 i.e. ways of interacting with language, items are

developed to evaluate two sub-parameters i.e. written expressions in regional

language and written expressions in English language of students by

showing pictures of different objects.

• For the parameter - 2 i.e. dealing with complexity of numbers and geometry,

items are developed to evaluate the knowledge about tables, roman numbers,

clock timings, basic arithmetic operations, measurements and two-

dimensional geometric shapes.

• For the parameter - 3 i.e. understanding the physical world around us, items

are developed to assess the understanding of students about colours, modes

of transport, games, festivals, communication instruments, national symbols.

• For the parameter - 4 i.e. knowledge of the natural environment, items are

developed to judge the understanding of students about parts of human body

and parts of plant.

Items on defined were developed with the help of experienced primary

school teachers and teacher educators. First draft contained sixty six items. A

review of developed items by two experts is done and a pre-try out of first test

draft was conducted on a sample of 100 students of grade-IV to know the validity

of test items.

and V , a common achievement test is developed on the four learning parameters

i.e. ways of interacting with language; dealing with complexity of numbers and

geometry; understanding the physical world around us; and knowledge of the

natural environment.

• For the parameter - 1 i.e. ways of interacting with language, items are

developed to check two sub-parameters i.e. written expressions in regional

language; and written expressions in English language by showing pictures

of different objects; items are developed to assess the understanding about

antonyms; days of week and months of year; and use of vowels, articles and

prepositions.

• For the parameter - 2 i.e. dealing with complexity of numbers and geometry,

items are developed to evaluate the knowledge about tables, roman numbers,

odd-even numbers, clock timings, basic arithmetic operations, measurements,

two-dimensional geometric shapes, angles and triangles.

• For the parameter - 3 i.e. understanding the physical world around us, items

are developed to assess the understanding of students about colours,

festivals, national symbols and mother child relations.

• For the parameter - 4 i.e. knowledge of the natural environment, items are

developed to judge the understanding of students about parts of plant, water

cycle, air pollutants and balanced diet.

Items on defined were developed with the help of experienced primary

school teachers and teacher educators. First draft contained ninety three items. A

review of developed items by two experts is done and a pre-try out of first test

2.5. Procedure of the Study: The procedure of study is presented in the following heads:

• Meeting with Cluster Resource Coordinators: A meeting of Principal

investigators with all Cluster Resource Coordinators was organized on

November 4th, 2016 in Govt. Girls Model Senior Secondary School, Sector-20B, Chandigarh.. The meeting was organized to discuss the various objectives and

data collection procedures of the project with Cluster Resource Coordinators. And to collect information on developed BaLA concepts in the schools.

• Selection of Schools for the Study: With the collected information from

Cluster Resource Coordinators about the developed BaLA concepts in the schools, fifty schools were selected who have BaLA concepts in the school

premises. (5th November, 2016 to 20th November, 2016.)

• Development of Achievement Tests: Two achievement tests were developed

on the basis of collected information from selected schools about the developed BaLA concepts in the schools. On the four learning parameters of BaLA

scheme i.e. ways of interacting with language; dealing with complexity of numbers and geometry; understanding the physical world around us; and knowledge of the natural environment; as prescribed by VINYAS & UNICEF,

2012 ( Effectively using BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) in Elementary Schools: A Teacher's Manual) two achievement tests were prepared and standardized. (21st November, 2016 to 25th December, 2016).

• Schedule of visit to schools: A date wise schedule for visit to schools was

finalized with the Pedagogy coordinator and submitted to the office of State Project Director, SSA, Chandigarh (U.T.). Date wise schedule of visit of two field investigators in a school is given in Table 2.4.T. (9th January, 2017 to 7th

February, 2017).

• Collection of Data: Data on achievement tests is collected from the students of

class 3rd, 4th and 5th with the active support of cluster resource coordinators, teachers and principals of the schools. On the scheduled date, a team of two

field investigators visited the school and collected data. School wise detail of sample of students is given in table 2.4.T. (9th January, 2017 to 7th February, 2017).

the present study was conducted in primary sections (III, IV and V) of Govt.

schools of Chandigarh to explore the effects of Building as Learning Aid (BaLA)

Project interventions on Students’ Learning Outcomes on four learning

parameters i.e. ways of interacting with language (Hindi and English); dealing with

complexity of numbers and geometry; understanding the physical world around

us; and knowledge of the natural environment. The results of the study on the

basis of percentage analysis in five categories i.e students who got zero score;

scores between 1%-25%; scores between 26%-50%; scores between 51%-75%;

and scores between 76%-100%; are summarized as follows:
