would be most appropriate for their
classroom setting

46.  Listening skills are never
considered important.
 Due to this ignorance children face
a lot of problems.
 Use of audio visual clips, songs etc.
is important.
 ICT can help foster listening skills
and enhance
1. Ability to differentiate between
sounds
2. Enhance pronunciation

47. Pre-test – listen and fill worksheet
Activities for enhancement
1. Digital booklet on pronunciation practice
2. Talking book for example BookBox.com
3. Worksheets

49.  Child as a natural learner, knowledge
as outcome of child’s own activity.
 Curiosity and inventiveness are
important
 Storehouse of culture inherited by
integrating activity and understanding
in one’s own web.

50.  Current curriculum needs reform to be more inclusive and meaningful for
children, ‘child-centred’
 School institution should provide new opportunities to learn about society
and themselves.
 Relation with real world to develop creative abilities.
 Provide proper infrastructure so that each child is valued and feels
comfortable.
 School needs a curriculum that promotes holistic learning.

51. Use of experience to enhance rational thinking
Creativity is integral to all forms of knowledge
Going beyond textbooks
Extra curricular activities and different subjects
should be placed in relation to one other
Development of animation is important

52. “In nine months, a group of children left alone
with a computer - in any language - would
reach the same standard as an office secretary
in the West.”
 In 1999 Sugata Mitra put a computer
connected to the internet in a hole in the wall
in a slum in Delhi and just left it there, to see
what would happen.
 The computer attracted several illiterate, slum
children, who, by the end of the first day had
taught themselves to surf the internet, despite
not knowing what a computer or the internet
were or being able to read.

53.  Mitra’s basic theory of learning is
that children simply need two things
to learn effectively:
1. They need to be allowed to crowd
around computers which are
connected to the internet.
2. They need the absence of a
teacher.
 The current system does not induce
creativity.
 You need a teacher to be a friend,
for moral support and a role model,
to guide you through learning.

54. Importance of
environment
Learning does not happen
in isolation.
The physical and
psychological dimensions
of environment are
important and
interrelated.
TWO ASPECTS
PHYSICAL
ENVIRONMENT
PSYCHOLOGICAL
ENVIRONMENT

55.  Physical environment can be further divided into two broad categories
1. Transforming the classrooms and surrounding areas
2. Learning Resources
Not enough attention is paid to the importance of physical environment for
learning.
Role of physical environment is restricted to shelter the educational activities.
How can we organise the environment in the schools and Classrooms so that
such interactions support and enhance both teaching and learning?
Would it be possible to Include ICT in curriculum without building proper
infrastructure for it?

56.  Adequate natural light in
classrooms
 Good for their eyes and physical
health
 Brings them closer to environment
 Example : skylight outlets in
kindergarten school of Japan.

57.  The work could be their drawings, art,
craft
 They can also design posters aur charts
digitally with the help of paints,
searching google images, aur prepare
models with the help of tutorials
available on YouTube or any other site
Displaying children’s work on walls of classroom and school

58.  Physical layout of the classrooms can be
altered so that the children can sit
together in groups
 Adequate space for the children to Keep
their books, belongings with suitable
back support

59.  Outdoor natural environment with plants, trees, herbal garden
 Necessary so that students do not develop sanitary habits
 It could be planted with deciduous trees or others
 Playground can be decorated using discarded tyres

60.  Teaches responsibility to keep their
surroundings clean
 Sense of ownership and belongingness
 Equality of work and respect for
works of all kinds
 Not as punishment
 Not gender biased

61.  Nurturing And enabling environment
 Participation of all children
 Discipline
 Space for parents and communities
 Teacher’s autonomy

62.  Process for constructing knowledge is
continuous and goes on outside school as well
 We are learning and gaining experience,
knowledge at home and surroundings some is
right to involve the communities

63.  What is enabling environment
 Strict rules of silence and restriction on
language
 How does ICT help

64.  Democracy, participation and
education
 Hindrances to it
 Role of ICT

65.  The pupil own the school as much as the
teachers and headmasters
 Arbitrariness and unreasonableness are
characteristics of power and are feared and
not respected
 Corporal punishment and verbal, nonverbal
abuse should be discontinued

66.  Teacher’s autonomy and professional independence
is necessary for ensuring a learning environment
 Relationship between teachers and their heads must
be formed by equality and mutual respect.r
 Texts and books
 Libraries
 Educational technology
 Other sites and spaces

67. Education leads the way to enlightenment .
Enlightenment open the way to empathy.
Empathy foreshadows the way to Reforms.

68. The tendency to confuse knowledge with information must be
curbed.
Educational technology should be viewed as a supplement
rather than as a substitute for hands-on experience, both for
classroom teaching and for teacher training.
Equipping the school for taking decisions at its own level in
areas.
Linkages between primary, upper primary and secondary
levels in the processes of syllabus designing and textbook
preparation.
Encouraging greater communication and transparency
between different structures and levels of decision making.

69. Academic Planning
and Monitoring for
Quality
Academic Leadership
in Schools and for
School Monitoring.
Involving the
Panchayats and
Education
Overlaps and
Ambiguities in
Functions
Principle of
Subsidiarity

70. Improvement of the physical
resources of the school.
Address the diverse needs of
students and to identify the
inputs and academic
support.
Involvement and support of
the larger community in the
education of children.
Greater flexibility regarding
schemes and norms, and
greater transparency and
accountability of budget
allocations and expenditure.

71.  The potential role of headmasters in providing academic leadership
to their schools has yet to be adequately realised.
 Capacity building for this must receive attention.
 Programmes often lack clarity regarding their objectives and
methodology, and their activities tend to overlap

72.  Present Concerns in Teacher Education
 Vision for Teacher Education
 Major Shifts in Teacher Education Programme
 In-Service Education and Training of Teachers
 Initiatives and Strategies for In-Service Education

73.  Care For Children And Should Love To Be With Them.
 Understand Children Within Social, Cultural And
Political Contexts.
 Be Receptive And Be Constantly Learning.
 View Learning As A Search For Meaning Out Of Personal
Experience, And Knowledge Generation As A
Continuously Evolving Process Of Reflective Learning.
 View Knowledge Not As An External Reality Embedded
In Textbooks, But As Constructed In The Shared Context
Of Teaching-learning And Personal Experience.
 Own Responsibility Towards Society, And Work To Build
A Better World.
 Appreciate The Potential Of Productive Work And
Hands-on Experience As A Pedagogic Medium Both
Inside And Outside The Classroom.
 Analyses The Curricular Framework, Policy Implications
And Texts.

74.  From To
 Teacher centric, stable designs to Learner centric, flexible
process
 Teacher direction and decisions to Learner autonomy
 Teacher guidance and monitoring to Facilitates, supports and
encourages learning
 Passive reception in learning to Active participation in learning
 Learning within the four walls of to Learning in the wider social
context the classroom
 Knowledge as "given" and fixed to Knowledge as it evolves and is
created
 Disciplinary focus to Multidisciplinary, educational focus
 Linear exposure to Multiple and divergent exposure
 Appraisal, short, few to Multifarious, continuous

75.  Paper Setting, Examining and
Reporting
 Flexibility in Assessment
 Board Examinations at Other
Levels
 Entrance Examinations

76. VOCATIONAL
EDUCATION AND
TRAINING
THERE IS , LACK OF
VERTICAL OR LATERAL
MOBILITY, ABSENCE OF
LINKAGE WITH THE
‘WORLD OF WORK’
EXPANSION OF THE
SCOPE OF INSTITUTIONS
LIKE ITIS,
POLYTECHNICS,
TECHNICAL SCHOOLS,
KRISHI VIGYAN
KENDRAS, RURAL
DEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES, PRIMARY
HEALTH CENTRES
ADVANTAGES: FIRST,
THE VET PROGRAMME
CAN BE SET UP WITH
MINIMUM CAPITAL
INVESTMENT.
SECOND, THE STUDENTS
WOULD HAVE ACCESS
TO THE LATEST
TECHNIQUES AND
TECHNOLOGY
THIRDLY, STUDENTS
WOULD GET ON-THE-
JOB EXPERIENCE AND
EXPOSURE TO REAL-LIFE
PROBLEMS OF
DESIGNING,
PRODUCTION AND
MARKETING

77.  Plurality of Textbooks
 Lessons are often written without relating
them to the time that is assigned for the
subject to be taught in the school year
 Encouraging Innovations
 The Use of Technology, , mass media can be
used to support teacher training, facilitate
classroom learning, and be used for
advocacy
 Interaction and intimacy are key to quality
education, and this cannot be compromised
as a principle in any curricular intervention

78.  Role of NGOs, Civil Society Groups, and
Teacher Organizations
 Teachers' associations and organizations can
play a far greater role in strengthening school
education
 The roles and functions of SCERTs need to
include providing support not only in purely
academic areas but psychological aspects as
well.
 Institutions of higher education have an
important role to play in teacher education
and in enhancing the professional status not
only of secondary schoolteachers but also
elementary schoolteachers
 We need to explore and discover ways in which
they can contribute to children's education, by
converging their inputs with the efforts of
departments of education

79.  With introduction of ICT, NCF brought a change and
develop a new era with its Integrated Approach and
Joyful learning.
 We have reviewed :-
•how ICT helps in different pedagogical teaching with its tools
•how the challenges arises in way of learning and knowledge.
•how the reforms have been made to make School and Class
environment suitable for ICT

80.  It is also important to highlight the role of ICT in current situation of
Lockdown when only through ICT means study could take place like
virtual classes and e-resources of books available on internet.
 There is still a need to bridge the gap between Theory and Practical
Implication.
 We still have a long way to go. We see issues of lack of resources and
government needs to gear up the process and support this reform
movement.
 With the ample of resources, brain-drain can be controlled, there will
be less migration of brilliance and it will be guaranteed that soon INDIA
will be among the top notch countries of the world.
