Teaching and Learning by Object Oriented Modeling in Pre-Primary and Primary School Education

Abstract

Every single child in this world has every rights to be educated. It’s a primary duty of the responsible parent or guardian and teacher to look after the educational process of a child. Here we propose a conceptual methodology which uses the Object Oriented Modeling (OOM) to improve the basic mode of teaching and learning process in case of pre-primary and primary school education. In this paper we propose an object oriented methodology which helps in building a new path towards formulized teaching and learning process. This process considers the child as an object and the characteristics of the objects considered are Identity, Polymorphism, Inheritance and Encapsulation. Identity means - Each child will have/exhibits its own identity. Polymorphism – Each child’s behavior at school class room, home, during travel to school, at play ground etc., Inheritance – The process of acquiring the behavioral characteristics from previous class of study or from parents/grandparents etc., Encapsulation – Wrapping up of child’s attributes and behavior under single head. This type of modeling will allow the stake holders to keep track and promote the activities which are needed to improve the learning ability and multidimensional growth of the child. This is a conceptual analysis and modeling formalized in a meta-model with the help of Unified Modeling Language diagram symbols.
