The White Paper discusses how activities outside the classroom has a positive impact on student’s development. The paper, titled The Relevance of Encouraging Learning Outside the Classroom talks about the importance of involving students in multiple extracurricular activities to ensure social and emotional maturity.
Effective learning-teaching process is ensured when students interact and actively participate in the learning process. Though most instructors stressed the value of active participation in classrooms of universities and colleges, achieving success in eliciting it appears more difficult. There is high tendency of instructors in higher institutions to cover the tasks and responsibilities of their students. The main aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of and to identify strategies for improving active participation in classroom among nursing and midwifery students. Institution based cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jimma University onrandomlyselected 126 students (81 nursing and 45 midwifery). The collected data were coded, checked and cleaned and entered into SPSS version 23 for analysis. Simple descriptive statistics was used to see the frequency distribution whereas cross-tabulation and Pearson Chi-square test were used to see the association between variables. Majority, 106 (84.1%) of the students had good knowledge about the benefits of active participation in classroom and they suggested strategies to be used by regular classroom teachers to improve students’ participation. Students’ academic year has shown statistically significant association with their knowledge about active participation. The authors of this study strongly recommend instructors to use active learning methods and department heads need to follow teaching methods implemented by their respective faculty.

This keynote presentation will provide an overview of field-based learning - an active, inquiry-based teaching and learning strategy where teaching and learning is extended beyond the classroom/laboratory walls and where students are exposed to real-world teaching and learning settings in the broader community. In field-based learning, students learn by hands-on application of course content and though direct interaction with the environment rather than solely through textbooks and lectures.
A Case Study on the Methods of Intervention in Inclusive Classroomsijtsrd
The concept of inclusive classrooms are more of a topic of debate and research in the Indian classrooms of today. Students with mild to moderate learning disabilities are often found in regular schools along with the normal students struggling hard to fit in. While a few students struggle really hard to learn and compete with the other students in the same classroom. There are a few blessed students with learning disabilities who get friends in the class to accept and accommodate the differences. It is not enough if the teachers are given training to accommodate students with differences and special needs, it is also important to make the students at each level to make them appreciate and accommodate differences. With the right kind of intervention the students having difficulty in learning fare well in not just the exams but also in life. Miss.

Necessary Evils of Private Tuition: A Case Studyiosrjce
The present study attempts to explore the necessary evils of private tuition and its causes,
effectiveness of private tuition and the problems on the lives of students. From the results of the research the
causes of increasing trend of private tuition are - ineffective classroom teaching and rigid curriculum, heavy
stress on academic performance, overcrowded classroom and lack of individual attention, examination oriented
school culture, peer influence to join private tuition, an alternative means to help weak students, an alternative
means for the students who are not attending regular classes, insufficiency of academic guidance from elders in
the family, need for higher academic achievement for competitive examinations and frequent bandhs, general
strikes or blockade and other social issues. While studying the problems of private tuition in the lives of the
students, the problems are – cultivate a mindset of dependency and culture of rote learning, robbing the thinking
power, creativity and problem solving skills, dominate students lives most of the time, no sufficient time for selfstudy,
restrict students leisure times for recreation and other activities, create confusion in the teaching method
of the school teachers and tutors, create a serious socio-economic problem among the rich and poor families in
the society, join private tuition unnecessarily through pressure from peer groups, family, relatives and society,
little time to have nutritious food and it affects physical and mental health. The findings may help to improve the
present education system and to enable eradication of private tuition in our society.

3. Executive Summary
Students engaging in both academic and non-academic activities - inside and outside the classroom -
especially during their undergraduate years, accelerate their learning and personal development.
Institutions should aim to make classroom experiences more productive and encouraging for students to
give more of their time outside the classroom to educationally focused activities and enhance learning.
Institutional circumstances, encouraging students to utilize their out-of-class experiences to their
educational development are as follows:
1. Clear, coherent, and consistently expressed educational purposes;
2. A guiding institutional philosophy that values talent development as a primary goal of
undergraduate education;
3. Complementary institutional policies and practices congruent with students' characteristics and
needs;
4. High, clear expectations for student performance;
5. Use of e¬ffective teaching approaches;
6. Systematic assessment of student performance and institutional environments, policies, and
practices;
7. Ample opportunities for student involvement in meaningful out-of-class activities;
8. Human scale settings characterized by ethics of membership and care; and
9. An ethos of learning that pervades all aspects of the institution.
In this white paper, we are going to discuss as to how certain extra-curricular activities can
enable students to develop as individuals, tremendously helping them in their learning.

Debate prepares for leadership: The primary
requisite of all leaders in any position is to provide
direction and be able to explain why the direction is to
be taken.
Debate trains in argumentation: Debates have always been the most accurate tool for argument.
problems: Debate topics touch upon areas of knowledge students won’t otherwise explore as the
curriculum won’t have allowed. Debaters agree that having researched and debated on a topic, they are
now more interested in that topic.
Debate aids in knowledge integration: Debate topics are versatile and intersect numerous disciplines.
This permits debaters to expand their knowledge of unique disciplines outside their routine academic
subjects.
Debate augments aptitude in resolute inquiry: Debate topics on the cutting edge, deal with new
technology and varied ideas from the norm of the day. By taking up in-depth research and conduct inquiry
Other advantages of participating in debate competitions include:
• Debate develops the ability to make prompt, analytical responses

Students participating in theater enjoy a wide
to sing, dance and perform on stage, the
performers is phenomenal.
Furthermore, participating in a performance
is a great time commitment. The time
required in auditions, rehearsals and
performances requires dedication, prioritizing,
responsibility and organization. Since theatre
demands high commitment level, it teaches
performers responsibility.
The highs and lows of theater prepare students performing for the highs and lows of real aspects of life.
While sometimes you may take the center stage and enjoy the limelight, you may also at times have to play
a backstage role. Real life too comes with its set of failures and successes.
Theater programs in schools are essential, and educate students in ways that textbooks cannot. Every
Broadway-worthy performance.
Both students and teachers must recognize and value theater as an art form in its own Students
participating in theater also encounter aspects of multiple other forms and disciplines - such as movement
and dance, literature, vocal music, media, design principles and visual art, various technical skills, and public
relations - woven together in a distinctive theatrical theme.
However, one must take into account the importance of the combination of teachers, students and theater
theme to make the experience more complex and variable. The mere participation in a play does not
guarantee the presence of all possible advantages expressed here.

Sport as a tool to aid retention:
Students who play and train within an
Academy have better attendance and
retention rates than other students and
are more inclined to continue their studies
in order to receive the support, guidance
and expertise that the sport and team/club provides. In most cases, students have to succeed within both
their sporting activity and their academic studies in order to stay on the program which assists with both
attendance and retention at college. Sport can also instill a strong sense of unity across the college and
contribute towards achieving higher satisfaction amongst students.
Raising self-esteem and self confidence & improving behavior: A number of colleges can prove,
through their institutional stats, as to how involvement in sports raises self-esteem and boosts the
while improving behavior within class and on-campus at large.
A contribution to achievement, attainment and success: Sport, being the perfect platform to facilitate
students’ attainment and achievement, the knowledge and experiences gained through it is transferred to
classroom learning too. Again, many colleges show evidence of how students who participate in sports
gain higher levels of attainment than their non-participative peers.
Increased employment prospects:

9. Volunteerism in College
IAO outlines the advantages of
volunteerism in college, as colleges at
times do not quite consider them while
planning voluntary schedules:
Boosts Participants’ Resume: Many
students mention voluntary work on
their college resumes. Volunteerism
can totally be worth students’ time
and efforts in pursuing a volunteer
position. Employers like seeing that
applicants volunteer their time, and
are able to manage it well enough to
take on an unpaid position. Volun-
teerism also suggests that the
applicant is a team player, a quality
many employers will look for in potential human resource. Many companies also lead a number of annual
volunteer projects on their staffs, so if students are active in community service and apply to work for such an
organization, they can surely play up that experience.
Builds Participants’ Network: Volunteer positions are a great way to meet people, especially if you volunteer in
an area that could be of use to you post-graduation. Aside from a professional network, volunteerism can also
help you build your social network. You’ll not only be able to find like-minded people who share your interests,
but people from different walks of life as you, as well.
Helps Participants Grow: Whether it’s a somewhat selfish reason to volunteer or not, volunteerism makes one
feel good nonetheless. The work one does is always rewarding and beneficial to segments of the population and
areas of the community that need volunteers to thrive. In a volunteer situation, one person can make a real
difference, getting that feeling once they start. Volunteering can also help you build on your existing skill sets. If
you’re relatively shy and want to become more outgoing, find a position that will build up your communication
skills.

Surpassed?
The circumstances that promote student learning outside the classroom cannot be created by any one
individual. Nevertheless, an institution can increase the chances that students will experience college as a

their academic and personal goals.
In order for this to happen, faculty, administrators, and others must challenge students and each other to
