Our Free School

Our Free School

Prarambhika School
Let’s start with some scary statistics: State with highest literacy rate : Kerala (89.8) State with lowest literacy rate : Bihar (38.5) District with highest literacy rate : Kottayam, Kerala (95.7) District with lowest literacy rate : Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh (19.0)

We had to do something to change these numbers… and so we started project Titli Butterfly).

In our Titli programme we have over 200 children who are educated free of cost. We provide them with all the books, stationery and periodic health check-ups as well. They have a fully equipped class-room and most of them enjoy being able to sit under a fan in this scorching heat for the 2 hours that they are in school. We encourage them to take part in all extra-curricular activities like singing, dancing and art – which whilst might be the norm to other kids, is totally alien to these children.

Planned Giving

We have activities all the year round for our Tilti students.

We request people to donate

Knowledge

Knowledge is defined as remembering of previously learned material. This may involve the recall of a wide range of material, from specific facts to complete theories, but all that is required is the bringing to mind of the appropriate information. Knowledge represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the cognitive domain.

Comprehension

Comprehension is defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of material. This may be shown by translating material from one form to another (words to numbers), by interpreting material (explaining or summarizing), and by estimating furture trends (predicting consequences or effects). These learning outcomes go one step beyond the simple remembering of material, and represent the lowest level of understanding.

Apply

Application refers to the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations. This may include the application of such things as rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws, and theories. Learning outcomes in this area require a higher level of understanding than those under comprehension.

Analyse

Analysis refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. This may include the identification of the parts, analysis of the relationships between parts, and recognition of the organizational principles involved. Learning outcomes here represent a higher intellectual level than comprehension and application becasue they require an understanding of both the content and the structural form of the material.

Evaluate

Evaluation is concerned with the ability to judge the value of material (statement, novel, poem, research report) for a given purpose. The judgements are to be based on definite criteria. These may be internal criteria (organization) or external criteria (relevance to the purpose) and the student may determine the criteria or be given them. Learning outcomes in this area are highest in the cognitive hierarchy because they contain elements of all the other categories, plus conscious value judgements based on clearly defined criteria.
