Reinforcing skill development in students of middle school level using Arduino with respect to the reformation of Indian Education System

Abstract

The Indian educational system has been in stagnation since the year 1986. The year 2020 brought about a tremendous change in the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) which aims at reforming not only the elementary and higher education framework but also the vocational training in rural and urban India. By 2030, the policy promises to revolutionize the Indian Education System [1]. There is a great deal of significance given to skill building and use of technology rather than rote learning. In this context, the following study proposes the use of Arduino for skill development among students of Middle School level. With the advancement in technology and the need and extensive use of smart devices, this approach will promote a sense of inquisitiveness among students and help them to develop small scale fully operational projects which will enhance their learning and bring about an innovation in the pedagogical process.
