EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING: TOOL FOR JOYFUL LEARNING

In this paper attempt is made to investigate the impact of Art Integrated Learning on the academic achievement of grade 5 students in mathematics. Total 80 students participate in the study, 40 students in the Experimental group and 40 in the control group. Two different Art Integrated Learning activities are designed for experimental group. The same teacher teaches both the experimental and the control group. The teacher uses Art Integrated Learning methods for teaching grade 5 students and traditional chalk and talk method for control group students. At the end of each unit (four tests), Mathematical Achievement Test (MAT) is administrated to determine the difference between the knowledge of the students in the experimental group and the control group. The result of all four tests is consistent. Art Integrated Learning has improved the academic achievement of students of experiential group
