Many a times it is asked that how much reflective journal differs from a daily diary. Professionals are more inclined to prepare reflective journals than daily diary.

P B L Scenario 3 for PRACTICUM II

How Do Issues-Based Lessons Look Like? An Experiment with Prototype Lesson. 

( To post your discussions please use the 'comments' link)
Issues-Based Approach (IBA) to curriculum transaction is a novel and unique one in the history of school curriculum development in Kerala. This approach is a clear departure from the traditional ‘knowledge transmission’ models of curriculum transaction and focuses on ‘knowledge generation’ by the learners. The IBA aims to sensitize the learners about the numerous issues faced by our society through the learning material itself. In the classroom these issues are developed and sensitized using various discourses which provide a linguistically rich environment in the classroom. Being a novel one, the IBA poses a number of challenges to facilitators with respect to the preparation of teaching manual, lesson transaction, learner assessment etc. in the classroom. Let us address this challenge by transacting a proto lesson in the class. Student teachers are requested to
1) Generate Contextual knowledge on each issue domain discussed in the teachers’ handbook;
2) List out micro-issues related to each issues domain
3) Elaborate and contextualize each micro issue
4) Develop (in small groups) a unit plan on a topic in IBA
5) Prepare, individually, a proto-lesson in IBA
6) Transact the lesson in the school or in informal settings.7) Reflect on the experiences

P B L Scenario 2 for PRACTICUM II

How Do Philosophies Influence Curriculum Reforms and How Do Stake Holders React to It?
(To post your discussions please use the 'comments' link)

Started in the middle of nineties with the Learner- Centered Approach, the Kerala school curriculum has embraced various dimensions including Activity-Oriented Approach, Constructivist Approach, Social Constructivism, Critical Pedagogy and Issues-Based Pedagogy, ICT based approach etc. Different stake holders like teachers, parents, media, and students’ organizations responded to these reform attempts in a variety of ways. What really prompted these changes? To what extent educational philosophy influenced these reforms? How do people look at these changes? How do these reform efforts point to the future trends in school education?

Problem Based Learning Scenario No. 1 for PRACTICUM II

How Far Has the School Scenario Changed in Recent Times? 

                                            (To post your discussions please use the 'comments' link)
The Kerala school system has been in a flux of sweeping curricular changes for more than a decade. What is the true nature of these changes? Are these changes influenced by the system itself or by outside forces? Have the teachers, headmasters and the general public imbibed the real spirit of curricular changes? Is there a shift in the very purpose of schooling itself? What will be the nature of schooling in the coming decades? Are we going in the right direction?
To raise more questions and search for answers you are requested to have a revisit of the school scenario in terms of the following of components; Curriculum and syllabus, teaching- learning approaches, planning and implementation of lessons, students’ role in learning, student- teacher relationship, assessment practices, technological inputs for learning, importance of co- curricular activities etc. professional development of teachers,  parents’ involvement, community participation, local bodies and government initiatives, profile of students and teachers, interest of various stake holders etc. Have a close look at them and discuss and share your findings.
