      Medium of instruction
      Submitted by priyamvada8778 on 16 October, 2009 - 12:19

      What is the impact of medium of instruction (MOI) on conceptual understanding (CU) of subject content in subjects like maths and natural sciences. 

      Do students face problems in understanding concepts due to medium.

      Should medium be sacrificed if the student is not able to understand the concept in L2 in English medium schools.

      Shouldn't we see how L2 itself is taught to students so that the problem of MOI leading to misconceptions can be averted. 

      If anybody can give me any idea as to any research that has been conducted to assess the impact of MOI on CU at PRIMARY LEVEL.

      Thanks in advance.

      What can be possible points which we should observe in class when teacher is teaching...or what can be some of the possible statements that can be put in questionnaire for the teachers to fill.

      In light of the same topic , should we focus on primary education only in L1 as NCF says. Or would bilingual be more benefitting .
