Program Highlights:
The in-house curriculum Planning Meeting
for the year 2024 was held on June 28, 2024 The meeting started with a silent prayer. The session began with a welcome address by the IQAC
coordinator, Mrs. Chithira P.C., who emphasized the importance of dynamic
curriculum development to cater to diverse learning needs.
Principal
Dr. Sunith Kumr G.N. highlighted the need for collaborative and reflective
practices in curriculum design and the role of teachers, internship schools,
experts, employers, and alumni in curriculum development planning.
This
was followed by the self-introduction of the guests. The principal introduced
all the faculty members to the guests.
An
active and thorough discussion on the identification and evaluation of the
areas aligned with the Teacher Education curriculum, the upcoming internship
programs and the preparatory measures to be taken by teacher trainees before
the internship programs were effectively done during the meeting.
Mrs.
Thushara P. Paulose expressed vote of thanks for all those who were present.
The following were the main discussions and
decisions made:
1. While the curriculum emphasizes a constructivist
approach in lesson planning and implementation, sufficient time is not getting
to complete a lesson in a 40-minute duration. The remaining work will be
carried to the next day/period. As a result, all the steps intended to be
followed in one class may not be able to impart.
2. Timely completion of the syllabus
within a short period makes it difficult for teachers to impart a constructivist
approach all the time. Hence teachers are compelled to skip many of the
activities done n the class.
3. ICT training should be sufficiently
given to teacher trainees. Give them certificate practice in using Edu apps
like Ubuntu which are most commonly used in many schools.so that children may
feel confident in using them during the internship program.
4. It should be made mandatory for the
teacher trainees to show the lesson plans in advance both to the optional
teacher in the college and the subject teacher in school. Without lesson plans
teacher trainees should not be allowed to take classes. Optional teachers
should make it assured that trainees are well prepared.
5. It
would be better to conduct an aptitude test for B.Ed. on entrance so as to find
passionate students to be enrolled in B.Ed. Many students have no sincere
passion for teaching. This may affect
the future educational system.
6. Supplementary
reading and basic knowledge are lacking in many student teachers. So it
should be made mandatory to give prominence to Basic and Current knowledge
about the Local, National and International news and events in the curriculum so that they will be
updated with the latest knowledge.
7. Blackboard, even though considered
as a conventional tool, play a great role in classroom situation. Before the
internship, teacher trainees should be given proper and enough practice in the
skill of blackboard writing. Charts should be thoroughly checked by the subject
teacher while they submit the charts for correction.
8. Curriculum should include the skill
of correlating one discipline with another discipline. Before the internship ,
they should be given training in correlating one subject with the day to-day
events.
9. Emotional
maturity lacking in student teachers
10. Creativity and flexibility is
lacking among the student teachers.
