The correct option is going beyond the textbooks.

In Environmental Studies (EVS) pedagogy, one of the primary goals of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) is to connect classroom knowledge to the child's daily real-world experiences outside the school environment.

Linking classroom learning to life outside school means moving past rigid textbook-bound instruction. Textbooks should serve as a supporting resource rather than the sole boundary of knowledge. By "going beyond the textbooks," teachers encourage students to observe their natural, social, and cultural surroundings, construct their own understandings, and develop critical thinking through practical exposure and hands-on activities.
