Divaswapna is a story of a teacher Mr. Laxmiram who rejects the orthodox culture of education. He remains enthusiastic towards children and continues to experiment while consciously neglecting the traditions of teaching and prescribed textbooks. The theoretical background of his experiments lies in Montessori, but his preparation and implementation are thoroughly local.
The book was first published in Gujarathi way back in 1932. Strange that the struggle for improvement of primary education was started long back and still there is so much to do. The book tells a fictional story of a teacher who seeks permission from the education officer to conduct experiments related to education on 4th std students.
Trying to swim against the current by purposefully shunning the orthodox methods of education he faces many difficulties. He is largely disappointed to see theoretically ideal things were not so easy to implement practically. He then devises various creative and intelligent ways to help teach children in a completely new way.
Teacher has used creative methods of teaching. One thing that I liked very much is the way he goes into the details of his experiments and I am amazed at how nicely he devises ways to solve the problems that are confronted due to the syllabus that is mandated for him to teach.
