SCHOOL BASED ACTIVITY

 

REPORT ON SCHOOL BASED ACTIVITY


INTRODUCTION

            The school-based activity is coming under the paper EDU 12: Learner in the Educational Perspective. The aim of the activity is to equip the student teachers proficient in initiation, organization and management of student-centered programs considering the demands of the group. Student teachers can conduct any activity/program in connection with the theoretical transaction of Educational Psychology in classroom in order to help school students for meaningful learning.

            The school-based activity was conducted in the form of a video presentation on the topic multiple Intelligence's. The program was carried out during the face-to-face teaching practice which was done through the Google Meet.    

NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROGRAM

            Multiple intelligence's refer to a theory put forward by Howard Gardner (1983). The multiple intelligence's range from the use of words, numbers, pictures and music, to the importance of social interactions, introspection, physical movement and being in tune with nature. Accordingly, an understanding of which type(s) of intelligence a student may possess can help teachers adjust learning styles, and suggest certain career paths for learners.

            All intelligence's are needed to live life well. Teachers, therefore, need to attend to all intelligence's, not just the first two of verbal-linguistic or mathematical-logical intelligence's, which have historically taken precedence. If a teacher is having difficulty reaching a student in the more traditional linguistic or logical ways of instruction, the theory of multiple intelligence's suggests several other ways in which the material might be presented to facilitate effective learning.

          The theory of multiple intelligence's is so intriguing because it expands our horizon of available teaching and learning tools beyond the conventional linguistic and logical methods used in most schools (e.g. lecture, textbooks, writing assignments, formulas, etc.).

            When educators are given the freedom to move away from the traditional, visually-based methods of teaching, they will have the opportunity to reach more students, more effectively. By teaching to the dominant learning intelligence's, teachers will find students to be more productive, more receptive and more willing to engage in the learning process.

OBJECTIVES

1.      To make students aware about the different types of intelligence's

2.      To make students aware about the different types of professions as per their intelligence

3.      To enable students to improve the types of intelligence's other than their prominent intelligence.

4.     To get an awareness about the different modalities that can be used in a classroom to overcome the individual differences during the teaching learning processes. 

 PROCEDURE

            The program was conducted during the teaching practice time. Due to the prevailing conditions, didn’t get a chance to directly conduct the school-based activity. So the activity was conducted in the form of a video presentation based on the Multiple Intelligence's. The video was in the form of an e content. Several slides describing about the 9 types intelligence's, the famous personalities coming under each types of intelligence's, the characteristics of people having that intelligence, the ways to improve each of the intelligence's, the fields which are suitable for each of the intelligence's etc are included.

            After the presentation, conducted a discussion on the topic with the students. Cleared the doubts raised by some of the students.

CONCLUSION

            We are able to know the world through language, logical mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of body to solve problems or to make things, natural enjoyment, awareness about the existence, an understanding of other individuals and an understanding of ourselves. In short, we need to effectively utilize all the nine types of intelligence's. By teaching the dominant intelligence's, teacher can find their students to be more receptive and more willing to engage in learning processes.

REFLECTION

            Students got an idea about the different types of intelligence's and they came to the conclusion that each among themselves are having different capabilities. Some are good in music, some are good in dance, some are good in math, some are good in verbal capacities etc. As a prospective teacher, I got an idea that not a single method of teaching will fit for all. So, have to identify the types of intelligence of students and have to plan the teaching process accordingly.

Innovative work

 INNOVATIVE WORK INTRODUCTION Innovation is defined as “the process of making changes to something established by introducing something new”. Innovation in education encourages teachers and students to explore research and use all the tools to uncover something new. It involves a different way of looking at problems and solving them. The thinking process that goes into it will help students develop their creativity and their problem solving skills. Innovation does not mean creating something from nothing. Innovation improves education because it compels students to use a higher level of thinking to solve problems. Innovation includes finding better ways of doing something and new ways to look at problems. Innovative work helps the teacher to teach something effectively. Here we can increase the interest of the pupils. And also we can avoid rote learning by this interesting method.
