4. The theory-practice model in the socio-practical
field of Anglo-Indian schools

The theory-practice model involves attempting to reduce
the discrepancies between the real, or actual learning
experience of Anglo-Indians in their classrooms and the
ideal. The theory-practice model has practical
applicability in an Anglo-Indian classroom. It offers
teachers enough flexibility of mind and creativity needed
to sustain the model in a classroom through Action
Research and Case Studies. Action Research and Case
Studies will identify the problems of implementing the
theory-practice model into the classrooms. Problem
identification will be immediately followed by analysis
of the theory-practice model.

The theory-practice model provides a guideline to
teachers for developing strategies for implementing
change. This thesis argues that new knowledge has been
made available to the Anglo-Indian community in this
thesis. The researcher interviewed teachers and their
students. The positive news is that there was a genuine
request made by teachers and students for change.
Therefore, the researcher is taking part in a
participative change cycle with a teacher in a classroom.
