DBF Scholar Safari firmly believes in a transformative approach to learning, with roots in Dewey’s pragmatic learning theories. Hence, our programs engage learners in meaningful activities that foster growth, reflection, and critical thinking. We believe in both unsupervised and supervised learning processes with our students.
Therefore, Our programs offer thoughtfully designed Continuous experiences.
Therefore, we advise a series of activities, workshops, and educational excursions that focus on one theme for a longer period, holding a space for learners to engage with physical structures or content deeply, making learning more immersive and holistic.
We adopt a pedagogy encompassing all three knowledge and learning domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
We believe that learning is a dynamic, iterative process rather than a strict linear progression. Both the learner and the facilitator engage in continuous reflection, revisiting concepts, and adapting their approaches to ensure deeper understanding and meaningful growth.
As educators, we recognize that intelligence manifests in diverse forms, resulting in varied learning styles. It is the facilitator’s responsibility to adopt a flexible and creative pedagogy that nurtures all types of intelligences.
We integrate the body with the subject matter. We seek to achieve it through image theatre, character walks, role-plays, and simulations. Offering activities that engage the learners in vocational training that is context-based and driven by senses, such as working with sheep wool and cotton, working at farmlands to prepare manure, practicing traditional art forms like block printing, which gives learners a sense of the spatial arrangement of designs and improves the understanding of geometrical designs and patterns. Moreover, they learn to appreciate local art and aesthetics.
By embracing the unique strengths of each learner, we create an inclusive and empowering environment where students can express themselves freely, develop a strong sense of self, and engage in personalized learning. This approach ensures that every child reaches their full potential in a meaningful and fulfilling way.
