The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005, which informed the KCF (Kerala Curriculum Framework) 2007, emphasizes a child-centered approach to education. The KCF 2007 promotes the following approaches:
1. Child-centered approach
2. Constructivist approach
3. Activity-based approach
4. Integrated approach
The traditional teacher-centered approach, where the teacher acts as an authority figure, is not emphasized in the KCF 2007. Instead, the framework encourages teachers to facilitate learning, promote critical thinking, and foster a collaborative classroom environment.
