SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PHASE 2- WEEK-4

  DAY 16(1/1/25,WEDNESDAY) 



Today marked the first day of the final 15 days of our second phase of teaching internship, coinciding with New Year's Day. The day began with a school assembly, where the headmistress extended warm wishes for a happy and prosperous year ahead. Following the assembly, we resumed our teaching duties, picking up where we had left off in the second phase. After meeting with the headmistress and teachers, we handed over the reference register and signed in. In my scheduled class with 8C, I introduced the concept of the area of a quadrilateral, focusing on constructing a parallelogram with the same area as a rectangle. To build a strong foundation, I began by revisiting the properties of a parallelogram and incorporated visual aids to make the lesson more interactive. These aids helped students grasp the concept better and made learning more engaging. The main objective was to help students understand how to calculate and construct quadrilaterals while maintaining a specific area. By the end of the lesson, students could confidently construct a parallelogram, ensuring a smooth transition into the new topic. The session was interactive, engaging, and well-received, and I plan to include more hands-on exercises in future classes to reinforce their understanding. The day concluded on a positive note, marking a successful start to the final phase of my teaching practice.

 DAY 17(3/1/25,FRIDAY) 

Today, we arrived at school at 9:30 a.m. and signed the attendance sheet at the headmaster's office. During the fifth period, I continued teaching the theory of parallelograms, introducing a student-friendly formula for finding the area of a parallelogram. To enhance their conceptual understanding, I guided them through a step-by-step derivation of the formula, followed by problem-solving activities. For the review and application session, students were divided into groups and given activity  cards containing different parallelogram-related problems. This approach encouraged collaborative learning and helped students apply their knowledge in a structured manner. The lesson was highly successful, with students effectively grasping both the concept and application of the area formula. The combination of visual learning, detailed explanations, and group problem-solving made the session engaging and impactful. During the lunch break, we participated in serving the mid-day meal, contributing to a school community activity. After the National Anthem, we left the school at 3:30 p.m., concluding another productive and fulfilling day.

      DAY 22 14/10/2024-MONDAY After the school reopened following the Pooja holidays and the weekend, I reached the school at 9:15 AM and signed the attendance sheet in the HM's office. The atmosphere was lively, with students and teachers getting back into the routine after the break.   During the day, I had three classes: one scheduled as per my timetable and two substitution classes. One of the substitution classes was with the 7th-grade students, and the other was with the 8th-grade students, where I was able to continue with the lesson I had planned. This allowed me to complete 23 lessons in total, which is progressing well towards my goals.  The students were very engaged and participated actively during the lessons. It was encouraging to see them retain the concepts we had covered before the holidays and eager to continue learning. Overall, it was a productive day, and I felt a sense of satisfaction from the enthusiasm and engagement of the stu...

COGNITIVE MAP

Image
 As part of my B.Ed. curriculum, I prepared two Cognitive Maps to visually represent the conceptual flow of mathematical topics. The first map was based on the "Sequences and Series" chapter from the Plus One syllabus, outlining the progression of concepts from arithmetic and geometric sequences to their sums, highlighting the interconnections between different types of series, formulas, and real-life applications. The second map focused on the "Continuity and Differentiability" chapter from the Plus Two syllabus, depicting the transition from fundamental continuity concepts to differentiability, including important theorems, derivative rules, and their significance in calculus. This structured representation helped in understanding how each concept builds upon the previous one, making problem-solving more systematic and logical. Creating these maps was a valuable exercise, as it reinforced my own understanding while also serving as an effective teaching tool fo...

PHASE 1 TEACHING PRACTICE @ GOVERNMENT GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL MAVELIKARA

Image
  Teaching practice is a crucial component of the B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education) program, providing aspiring teachers with hands-on experience in a real classroom setting. This phase allows trainees to apply the theoretical knowledge they've gained during their coursework in a practical environment, helping them develop essential teaching skills. Trainees are assigned to schools where they take on the role of teachers. They are responsible for planning and delivering lessons, managing the classroom, and engaging with students. This gives them the opportunity to apply different teaching methods and strategies they've learned. During the teaching practice, trainees work under the supervision of an experienced teacher, known as a mentor. The mentor provides guidance, feedback, and support to help the trainee improve their teaching techniques. At the end of each day or week, trainees often reflect on their teaching experiences, identifying areas of strength and those that need im...
