Abstract
Though composed sometime between 600 and 300 BCE, the Upaniṣads are still read by many today. Apart from the material itself, there is also scope, to delineate the teaching methods used by these texts. The Upaniṣadic pedagogy is unique with respect to setting, teacher-student relationships, pre-requisites and qualifications, active learning, questioning and experimentation. As pedagogy is a growing area of interest for psychologists and educators this chapter will prove to be an asset in the development of teaching methods that apply Upaniṣadic principles for the modern classroom. Several techniques used in these texts have the potential to increase student motivation, interest, metacognition, understanding, application and achievement and even mould future teachers. The chapter is designed to develop an appreciation for an indigenous method of teaching that is practically applicable.
