Testing NEP 2020's Flexible Pedagogy: A Randomized Controlled Trial on Numeracy in Early Childhood

Abstract The study employs a Randomized Controlled Trial (RT) method at Mysore, Karnataka, with the goal of comparing numeracy outcomes between children exposed to flexible pedagogy based on NEP 2020 and students following traditional pedagogy. We focus on the age group of 4–6 years in early childhood education centres.
This is a two-group, randomized controlled trial with an experimental group receiving a flexible pedagogy-based numeracy intervention and a control group for conventional numeracy instruction. NEP 2020 have a focus on learner-cantered strategies, play based learning, and personalized tasks which will be integrated via the intervention. We then use age-appropriate standardized tools to conduct pre- and post-assessments of general numeracy skills to measure growth in number recognition, counting, and basic arithmetic.
The preliminary results show significant improvements in numeracy skills among the children who received the experimental intervention as compared to the control group. And there is some evidence that flexible pedagogy supports the development of early numeracy and enhances student engagement and participation in learning activities.
The pedagogical flexibility of NEP 2020 emerged as a potential solution for improving early childhood numeracy, the research concludes. This will provide useful knowledge about how individualized and learner-cantered teaching practices may affect young learners, which can influence education policies and future teaching practices in India’s schools.
