Learner-centered Approach in Peace Education

Dr. Suja K

Abstract :

Peace education is a process of assisting learners to acquire essential knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, to live harmoniously with oneself, fellow beings, nature and the natural environment. UNESCO (2001) suggested a model for peace education with 10 basic themes. One of the ten themes, ‘Discover Inner Peace’, stresses four core values such as ‘resolution of inner conflict’, ‘self-knowledge’, ‘meditation’ and ‘spiritual needs’. From these, the first three values were selected for the study, which are essential for an individual to live peacefully with oneself. Thus the present study was conducted with the objectives to develop a learner centered study material with Information and communication technology (ICT) for helping secondary school students to acquire inner peace for happy and satisfied living and to find out the effectiveness of the material in developing the values among them. The sample of the study consisted of 30 students studying in class IX from one of the schools in South Delhi. The tools used for the study were ‘Learner centered study material with ICT’ and relevant inventories for pre and post-tests. It is proved that the study material with ICT is effective in assisting the leaners to acquire values by them.
