INNOVATIVE WORK

 Creativity may be defined as the ability or capacity of a person to discover and explore new ideas or areas to create a new process, including the rearrangement or reshaping of what already exists. It is the ability to evolve new approaches, forms and new materials. Teaching in innovative ways keep students engaged and excited. A change from routine classes would increase students interest and make them more creative, interactive and attentive. Thus, a n innovative idea in teaching is always necessary to keep the class active and productive.

As a part of my B.Ed curriculum I opted an innovative work on the topic Pollution and Transportation.

Objectives:

1.To make the subject business studies students friendly.

2.To learn difficult part of transportation and pollution.

3.To develop students creative thinking through demonstrating the work.

4.To promote maximum involvement of the pupil in teaching learning process.

MODEL

A hand made model was prepared to show types of pollution and modes of Transporation. Flex board was used as the base of the model. A mountain is made at the corner side using cotton and tissue paper. Some toys were used to show types of transportation. A factory was made in the middle portion in which smoke emits. Some pillars are made with flex board for holding the railway track. A pipe is used at the top of factory as chimney to emit the smoke. The whole model was a still one. even though some wires are connected to light up the traffic lights. In an a whole the model shows the modes of transportation which includes air, water, road and rail transport and Pollution which includes air, water, land and noise pollution


CONCLUSION

Innovative works are used to transact the same content in more creative way. When compared to the ordinary method this work helps to create interest in students and help the teacher to teach the topic transportation and pollution more easily. It will also help students to store all the information regarding the topic in their memory for a long time.

CONSCIENTIZATION REPORT ON CHILD RIGHTS

 Conscientization or 'critical consciousness' is a popular education and social concept developed by Brazilian pedagogue and educational theorist Paulo Freire. Critical consciousness focuses on achieving an in-depth understanding of the world, allowing for the perception and exposure of social and political contradictions. It also includes taking action against the oppressive elements in one's life that are illuminated by that understanding. The term was popularized by Paulo Freire in his 1970 work Pedagogy of the oppressed.

As part of 2-year B. Ed course, a conscientization programme on CHILD RIGHTS was conducted in the school during our teaching practice. Child rights are specialized human rights that apply to all human being below the age of 18. Children are the future of our country. However, it is the fact that they are the most vulnerable people and are subjected to abuse and neglect. Universally, childhood is recognized as a period of sensitivity requiring special care, attention and protection. Every child has a right to lead a decent life. However, the status of children is in an unfair condition all over the world and thus it is important for children to know about their rights.

According to Mikhail Bakunin, 


I decided to select this topic since I wanted to make the children aware about the child rights and its importance.

OBJECTIVES

Enable the students to be:

1.Aware about child right and its importance.
2.Aware about the role of UNCRC on child rights.
3.Aware about the practice of child rights.
4.Aware about the status of children in India.
5.Aware about various constitutional provisions, laws, policies and programmes related to child rights.

REPORT

The awareness programme on "Child Rights" was organized on 08/08/2022. I have selected high school students of GHSS, Chathanoor as participants.

After routine classroom practice and a friendly talk, I used power point presentation to present the topic. First of all, in order to introduce the topic, I had shown some pictures if child right violation, to sensitize the students with the topic.




Responses are elicited about the pictures by asking some questions and students shared their ideas on the pictures. This helped to activate the student's prior knowledge on the topic, and they could easily connect the pictures. Then the title "Child rights" was introduced in the power point slide, then explained about its need through ppt.





I started the session with the introduction, need and then explained the importance of UNCRC and its four classification of child rights. Then I gave the brief idea on the status of children in India and moved on to some important child activist. Next, I introduced various measure provided by India to protect children and their rights such as important policies, legislations, schemes etc.














REFLECTION
 
The awareness programme is a successful one as it gives the desirable result. The topic of the conscientization is appropriate for the audience since they could directly relate themselves with the content. 

The asked questions and interactions helped to check the understanding of the students about the concerned topic. It helps not only the teacher but also the students to evaluate themselves on how much that are aware about the 'Child Rights'. Power point presentation was the appropriate material for presenting such a topic. It generates interest and sustains throughout the end of the programme. This helped the teacher to carry out the class without any interruption or undisciplined activities.

CONCLUSION

It is important to understand that high school students are at an age of understanding their right. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child tells a familiar, and very convincing, story about children, childhood, child development, and human rights. Under the Convention, the child is perceived as a person in the making who should enjoy the maximum available resources in order to develop into a competent adult at the age of 18. 

On the whole through this conscientization class I was able to transact the information if child rights to the students at high school.
