Concept Mapping Instructions in relation to Reflective Thinking on the basis of Government and Private Schools at Secondary Level

In Last few decades, a lot of changes have been done in the field of School Education System India. Especially in the transition of knowledge in the active learning classroom new pedagogies, approaches, educational techniques, instruction materials have been discovered. And all these things significantly catalyze the teaching learning process in the active classroom. Nowadays we shift our teaching strategy from Conventional Teaching Approach or Teacher Centered (Content Oriented) Approach to Child Centered teaching approach or Learning Centered Approach. And Many Policy and documents Like NPE-1986, NCF-2000, NCF-2005, Learning Outcomes for Secondary Level 2019 and NEP-2020 advocates to provide such type of learning in Classroom in which learner actively engage in teaching learning process and make their own meaning of concept by participation, collaboration and which leads the learner to learn meaningfully. Concept Map is also a similar kind of tool which fosters learning through active participation and involvement. Concept Mapping is a graphical organizing technique and it also works as a reflective tool for students as well as teachers and teacher educators. If we critically examine the present scenario of the school education system in India then we found learning outcomes are a big concern for any classroom. In this research paper researcher investigated the relationship of concept mapping and reflective thinking and also analyzed on the basis of type of institutions (government and private) how much the relationship shifted in which direction? For fulfillment of this purpose researcher selected three schools (one government and two private) from Ajmer city and selection was done through the sample purposive sampling. Researcher selected 48 boys’ students and 28 girls’ students and the total sample was 76 students. Researcher used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics for analyzing the data. In inferential statistics researcher used Pearson’s bivariate correlation. Findings of this research paper highlight that there is minimal difference in the relationship of concept mapping and reflective thinking.
