REVIEW OF AN UNCONVENTIONAL METHODOLOGY FOR TEACHING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Abstract
Traditional teaching methods have long dominated primary education. However, with evolving pedagogical research and technological advancements, unconventional methodologies are gaining popularity as they enhance student engagement, creativity, and critical thinking. This paper reviews various unconventional teaching methodologies for primary school students, including experiential learning, gamification, inquiry-based learning, and flipped classrooms. It evaluates their effectiveness in promoting deeper learning and assesses the challenges educators face in implementing these methods. The review also highlights real-life applications, case studies, and possible future developments in unconventional teaching approaches.
