Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

INTRODUCTION
Community-based learning refers to a wide variety of instructional
methods and programs that educators use to connect what is being taught
in schools to their surrounding communities, including local institutions,
history, literature, cultural heritage, and natural environments. Time,
space, and materials are critical components of an effective science
learning environment that promotes sustained inquiry and
understanding. The classroom is a limited environment. The school
science program must extend beyond the walls of the school to the
National Science Education Standards, Teaching Standard resources of
the community. Our nation’s communities have many specialists,
including those in transportation, health-care delivery, communications,
computer technologies, music, art, cooking, mechanics, and many other
fields that have scientific aspects. Specialists often are available as
resources for classes and for individual students. Many communities
have access to science centres and museums, as well as to the science
communities in higher education, national Laboratories, and industry;
these can contribute greatly to the understanding of science and
encourage students to further their interests outside of school. Taking
students on field trips or using other community resources in their
classes is not a new idea for teachers. Often, however, these experiences
are thought to be frills or rewards that compete with instructional time in
4. 4
the classroom. The national standards in science and mathematics
suggest that good programs require access to the world beyond the
classroom so that students will see the relevance and usefulness of
science both in and out of school. Changing the educational experiences
of children by moving beyond the classroom walls can diversify the
array of learning opportunities and connect school lessons with daily life
and real problems.
DATA COLLECTION
Using Community Resources to Enhance Science Education
Social discourse and direct experience help them construct an
understanding of the phenomenon. The exhibit puts constructivism in
action. Teachers always face the task of pulling together the diverse
understandings their students bring to the classroom. The use of
community resources provides a shared memory for the class. For
example, going on a field trip is only part of the total experience. As
students and teachers talk about the trip and think about it after it is over,
they are building shared understanding. The event becomes part of the
common education.
5. 5
Teachers can effectively develop interdisciplinary units with their
students outside of the classroom. The world is not made up of discrete
disciplines. Students working on a city street, for example, could be
doing social studies (e.g., making a survey of how a building is used
today and how it has been used over the years), language arts (e.g.,
writing a short story about the building), mathematics (e.g., devising
ways to measure the height of the building), and science (e.g., observing
the materials used in the building for signs of weathering). Subject
matter barriers dissolve as children learn from their environment
Community resources that can enhance science learning include
science centres
Nature centres,
Interactive science centres
Aquaria
Museum
Gardens
zoo
Places to explore
Pond
A nearby creek
city street
6. 6
Electronic connections
It involves the Internet or e-mail communication and can be
valuable additions for classes that have Internet access.
Students can communicate with students of other schools for
their studying purpose. Students can take and share their
study materials and can post their data on the Internet.
Resource persons
Guest speakers from the community can provide new
information and experiences to students and link the school
to the world outside. The teacher should spend time with the
guest before the visit so they can discuss the age level of
students and kinds of activities and information appropriate
for this age group; the needs of the guest during the visit and
his or her general comfort level with children; the topic of the
presentation and the students’ general knowledge about this
topic; and what the teacher can do before to make the visit a
success.
7. 7
The Community beyond the Classroom Walls
The lack of a nearby science centre need not be a limitation.
Community resources include unconventional sites, such as the tile
factory or a hardware store, fabric store, farm, or ranch. While extended
field trips can be rewarding, short school yard trips can be equally
valuable. These allow children to discover answers for themselves in a
familiar context. Whether your school is urban, suburban, or rural, it
reflects the habitat of its neighborhood-the hard-topped surfaces, the
soils, grasses, and trees, the weather, and so on. The young inquirer can
easily return to the school yard for further data gathering if a question is
left unanswered or new questions arise. A class studying the sun and its
shadows in a particular location, for example, can gather data at intervals
throughout the day.
Learning From the World outside the Classroom
Teachers whose classes are not near such rich centers as museums
or botanical gardens must use the local community as a source for
science and mathematics learning. Short trips to the school yard that
8. 8
become an integral part of the class schedule can help students build an
understanding of the natural world and increase their sophistication in
observing and interpreting their surroundings. In fact, 10- and 15-minute
field trips may be ideal for many topics. Students who develop skills
working in groups, forming questions, collecting data, and observing
their school yard laboratory will find that these experiences enhance
visits to other places as opportunities arise. School yard explorations can
focus on such topics as plants, trees, animals, the interdependence of
living things, physical and chemical changes, sound, weather and
climate, and geology. For example, shadow activities can enhance the
study of the solar system and provide concrete experiences of the sun’s
influence on our planet.
RELEVANCE AND SCOPE OF COMMUNITY BASED RESOURCES
Community-Based Learning Happens Everywhere:
Community-based learning must be integrated within the regular
school-based curriculum. Before and after school programs and a host of
community-based organizations currently offer an important venue for
shrinking the gap between living and learning. Successful
implementation of community-based learning opportunities in these
9. 9
settings may introduce the benefits of community-based learning to
school staff, families, and decision makers, thus easing its way into the
regular curriculum. some benefits are
Community based resources learning provide new information to
students.
Provide new experience to student.
It helps to develop scientific attitude and skills
Community based resources learning helps to develop creativity
and imagination.
It helps to raise questions, doubts and to develop interest in
subjects.
It is low cost.
It helps to develop environmental knowledge and problem solving
skill.
It provide stimulation and encouragement for individual
construction of knowledge
to create interest in scientific knowledge related to ones
surrounding
to create interest in latest invention and discoveries of science in
various field
10. 10
CONCLUSION
Imagination and creativity in using community resources can help
students connect school science and mathematics with applications in
the community, as well as helping students better learn basic concepts.
Children learn science and mathematics from many sources, in a range
of different ways, and for a variety of purposes. Taking students to a
science museum or out onto the school grounds, exposing them to
innovative materials, or inviting guests who can give unique insights are
a few ways to increase their learning experiences. Community-based
learning makes young people active agents of their own learning and
gives them a voice in determining what and how they learn. Students act
as co-creators, rather than just consumers of knowledge. Teachers act as
guides or coaches, ensuring that student explorations build in
opportunities to acquire, practice, and apply content and skills required
by the curriculum. Community-based learning often employs inquiry
methods-like asking questions, making predictions, and using
summaries-to provide learning frameworks. However, students are not
only required to read, write, and listen; they are encouraged to design
their own approaches for collecting, analyzing, and acting on
information. Community-based strategies have the potential to draw on
the skills of every student. Students use physical activity, music, dance,
as well as interpersonal skills, sense of space, and love of the natural
11. 11
world to explore their communities and to organize and present to others
what they have learned.
