Introduction

We are passing through a great transition. The old is becoming obsolete and the new is still in the process of emergence. The olds ways of learning and teaching are found to be too rigid and too outmoded. A greater application of psychological principles is being increasingly demanded. It has been urged that the training of the young requires on the part of the teacher a deep psychological knowledge.

According to some thinkers, the present educational system is a huge factory of mis-education. According to them, the spontaneity of the child is smothered at an early stage by our mechanical methods which are prevalent in our educational system. They contend that the child is not a plastic material which can be moulded according to educators’ design, but it is a closed bud having its own inherent capacity to flower and blossom, requiring only the favourable climatic conditions such as the right atmosphere, environment, inspiration and guidance.

Each child, according to them, is a psychological entity, having its own specific individual needs of growth which have to be understood and developed by the same kind of knowledge and tact by which a good gardener tends to varieties of plants and trees in his garden. Just as each plant needs to be individually looked after, even so, each child, it is contended, is required to be looked after individually.

It has been further held that each individual is a great potential dynamo of energy, and if we do not deal with that potentiality, only very little gets actualised, and the rest remains dormant and uncultivated. This means a tremendous waste both for the nation and the world. Not to tap the full potentialities of each individual is thus psychologically unsound and economically unproductive.

It has, therefore, been urged that our educational system should either be set aside altogether through some kind of ’de-schooling’ or radically changed in such a way that each individual is provided with conditions and facilities under which he can grow towards his fullness on the lines that are psychologically appropriate to him.

There is another line of thinking, according to which it is not enough to develop the potentialities of the individual but also to direct these potentialities towards their highest values. It has been argued that the psychological development of the individual is an extremely dangerous process, unless the development is guided by wisdom and skill and directed towards certain desirable and sublime ideals.

There is a risk, it is argued, of succeeding in developing only highly egoistic and selfish individuals, if we insist only upon development and do not take great care to insist on the discovery of the right values, aims, objectives and ideals. It has, therefore, been urged that education should be value-oriented and should provide those conditions and facilities under which individual is enabled to discover the highest possible values and embody them as effectively as possible in thought, feeling and action.

An unprecedented education experiment which is taking place in different parts of the world today has resulted in the formulation of new models of learning-teaching process. It has been argued that learning is a process of transmutation; transmutation of innate reflexes into organised and conscious perceptions, visions and actions, transmutation of innate drives into wise and skilful pursuit of means and ends, and transmutation of innate tendencies into a harmonious integrated personality.

It has been contended that there are observable and discernible processes by which the process of learning or of transmutation can be accelerated. We are often asked to consider the tremendous feat of learning that the child performs in the first few years of its life. It has been contended that the child learns so fast because all its occupations are occupations of learning. For the child, all play is learning, and all learning is play. Again, it is contended, the child learns so fast because the child deals with its universe with its total being by the exercise of all its faculties and by a concrete urge of experience. It has been argued that our entire learning process should be so changed that we are able to create for the learner the same conditions which obtain in the child’s encounter with its universe. Some educationists have, therefore, pleaded for a search of a school that has no walls, and for studies that have no boundaries.

It has also been argued that the learner learns best under the conditions of freedom to choose, under teacher’s wise guidance, what he wants to learn and what he should learn. The learner should have also the freedom of pursuing his studies at his own pace. This argument is further intensified when it is seen that an indispensable condition of the moral and spiritual development is secured only when the learner is given ample opportunities to exercise his free will.

Learning by doing is being increasingly advocated. At the same time, it is being recognised that there are, for different categories of learners, different ways of learning. Some students learn better through aesthetic experience, some others through manual work, while still others through intellectual or meditative contemplation. It has, therefore, been suggested that an ideal system of education should provide to each learner that method or such combination of methods which is suitable to his specific needs of learning.

Self-learning is being given in several experiments a pre-eminent place.

Individualised programmed instruction, for example, follows an instructional model which aspires to produce an effective communication for securing precisely defined goals of learning, in a manner timed to meet the needs of the individual, mostly with the help of programmed teaching and learning material. An important variant of individualised learning is that of learning by consultation with the teacher, as and when needed. Lecture system, which caters to group learning, plays a minor role in experiments which emphasise self-learning. Even the syllabi and examination system are required to be radically changed in the context of a system based upon self-learning.

Project systems try to combine self-learning with group-learning. Projects may be directed towards an exploration or towards producing some practical action under certain actual situations. In a model that is known as Info-Bank, the learner is required to define what he is interested in and the kind of approach that he wants to undertake. The learner is given the freedom to govern his reading and practical activities and to judge the knowledge acquired and its significance. In some educational experiments, a combination of different information materials is made available to the learner and he is given the freedom to construct and control his own learning process and the environment suitable for the chosen learning process. In yet another instructional model, individual learners learn from one another by informing and consulting one another mutually from time to time. At a higher level of consultation, there is experimental testing and feedback. In some models, the learner takes over the roles of those responsible for action and decision in simulated environment. In some cases, problems to be solved are frequently more complex and make the acquisition of external information necessary, while in others the required information is supplied in advance. In the ’Workshop Model’, the learners work like colleagues, supported, if necessary, by organisers and advisers, on the solution of real problems with which they are confronted. In this model, the learning of the methods of work is as important as the production of results.

Educationists are perplexed by the phenomenon of unprecedented explosion of knowledge. Teachers and learners are required to deal with this explosion, and efforts are being made to discover accelerated methods of learning and teaching. The necessity of continuous or lifelong education is also being underlined. At the same time, teachers and students are required to distinguish more clearly than ever before, those aspects of knowledge which are essential from those which are of peripheral importance.

There is also today an unparalleled width and depth of enquiry, which necessitates a new kind of learning-teaching process that would be at once comprehensive and yet peculiarly specialised or varied so as to suit each individual.

Again, there is today, a great quest all over the world towards the synthesis of knowledge and synthesis of culture. Ancient knowledge is being recovered in the context of the modern knowledge. The humanist and the technologist are finding themselves in greater and greater need of each other. It is being increasingly recognised that the learner should not only develop his rational faculties but should also pursue moral and aesthetic tendencies. In India, we go farther and underline the need of a synthesis of science and spirituality.

Against this background, there is a quest to discover a point of convergence where different sciences and humanities can meet in a synthesis of knowledge. There is a search for an all-embracing project of work-experience that would generate a continuing process of lifelong education. And there is a search for a programme of learning that would necessitate a spontaneous harmony of the needs of personal development with those of collective development. It is being asked if there is a tool of acceleration of the summing up of the past and the unfolding of the future. And it is asked if there is a method and content of education that would necessitate an automatic synchronisation of studies, work-experience and flowering of faculties and values. It has become necessary, both for the learner and for the teacher, to discover or invent such methods by the employment of which the explosion of knowledge can be contained and personality can be developed which would harmonise, progressively, the wideness of the humanist and the skills of the technologist, the disciplined will-force of the moralist and the refined imagination of the artist, and the scrupulous knowledge of the scientist and the sublime vision, wisdom and ever growing perfection of the profound and wide spiritual culture.

It is seen that there are today powerful trends that necessitate a continual revision of the contents of education as also a continued refinement of the learning-teaching process.

It is against this background that there is a serious thinking in our country to determine the new role that the teacher is called upon to play. The situation in India is in a sense more complex than in many other countries of the world.

India is passing through a tremendous period of scientific and cultural efflorescence. This period was preceded by a powerful phase of the national freedom struggle during which the Indian subcontinent passed through an unprecedented churning of mental, aesthetic, moral and spiritual ideas. In the course of this churning, profound experiments in the field of education took place, the lessons of which need still to be assimilated. There grew in India during this period an irresistible sentiment to give the children and the youths of our country a new kind of education, which is freed from the fetters of the system given to us by the British and which would ensure development and promotion among students and teachers not only of the highest values of physical, emotional, mental, aesthetic, moral and spiritual culture, but also those values which are uniquely Indian, and which would at the same time promote a new kind of synthesis appropriate to our own synthetic culture. India has developed a kind of secularism which needs to be properly defined, understood and promoted. We have to build up young men and women who would have pride in the Indian heritage and our synthetic culture. This would mean that we have to the children and youths a true knowledge of India, of India’s complexity, of India’s greatness and of India’s innate tendencies to harmonise and synthesise.

The task that lies ahead of Indian education is difficult. We are being called upon to take into account the educational needs both of today and of tomorrow.

About the Curriculum

As we now embark on the very important task of setting up the Indian Institute of Teacher Education, IITE, the presence of our Hon. Chief Minister can be felt like the presence of the priest who initiated the education of Balaram and Sri Krishna, as narrated in the following verse:

The great Priest of Yadava race, Garg, initiated the commencement of education or vidyaramba of Balarama and Shri Krishna. Thus, they both attained total knowledge and became universal teachers orJagat Gurus.

It is rare that a Chief Minister initiates programmes of education and we feel proud that our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi initiated a series of innovative education programs in the state beginning with Kanya Kelavani Abhiyaan. People, in some pockets, may interpret that as a part of routine rhetoric. But, when such interventions sustain for a decade with the same or even greater force and vigor, it becomes evident that it is indeed driven by a deep commitment and vision. It comes through very clearly when the Chief Minister candidly admits that he finds the campaign for school enrolment of girl children more gratifying than his swearing in as the Chief Minister!

Following many interventions in education, it is now the setting up of an innovative institution devoted to teacher education, with distinctive and novel features. An Institution to ’create excellent teachers - well endowed physically, creatively, intellectually and most of all - a cheerful, humane person’ -that was the vision and mandate of the Chief Minister.

The setting up of the Indian Institute of Teacher Education (IITE) and providing an integrated program for graduation with teacher education and creating outstanding teachers of all round excellence has been his dream. At first sight, this seemed a near impossible mission. However as this seed of an idea grew, it did start appearing to be a far off, distant possibility but nevertheless a possibility. As we spent many days and evenings, trying to reflect on the attributes, qualities and properties, the DNA or the "genetic code" of a good teacher began to reveal itself. This has only been possible with the example, instruction and inspiration of a great teacher, who was made of exactly such DNA! He has consecrated his life time to the cause of education. Prof. Kireet Joshi, virtually an institution in himself, was inspired by the vision of the Chief Minister and based on his life experience in teaching gave us the working paper for the IITE Curriculum Committee. He carefully handpicked members of the Curriculum Committee, each of whom has spent many years in this domain and is an expert in their own right. The constitution of the Curriculum Committee is given in annexure I of this document.

The Curriculum Committee had its first meeting on 20th April, 2010 and started the task in right earnest. Firstly, transposing the dream of the Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the vision of Prof. Kireet Joshi into a "transactable" matrix and framework of courses and credits was a very daunting task. After a lot of discussions, debates, arguments, questions, concerns, consultations and reflection, the curriculum finally emerged. Populating the frame with courses in respective disciplines without compromising on the basic premise and philosophy of integrality was the next step. This was accomplished by the good participation, support and ownership of local subject experts from Gujarat as well. The list of these experts is at annexure II of this document. This process lasted about four months on an average. The entire curriculum was then compiled together to fit it into the framework which would be ready for use by the I ITE.

What has evolved with all these experts as the curriculum of IITE, is perhaps, its unique strength. As articulated in the working paper in the annexure, the student teachers would have the option of choosing to study life skills such as tattooing, architecture, composing poems, knowledge of the art of war, of arms, of armies, and subjects and skills related to Multilingual Web Technology, horticulture, musical instruments - Flute, Sitar, Santoor, Tabla etc. and martial arts. Such teachers that have been trained by this curriculum would have multiple competencies so that they would be in demand from all over the country and some of them could even be spared for export to foreign countries.

The curriculum is also innovative, in that, it provides and facilitates ’reading and research’, mentoring and the provision of cross registration of courses across the rigid boundaries of disciplines and branches. More than anything else, the curriculum would be evolving based on experience and seek to truly make the experience of each teacher enriching with sufficient freedom to choose and learn as they metamorphose into great teachers driven by the highest aspiration.

I would be failing in my duty if I do not point out that all this work has been constantly guided by our Hon.Minister (Education) Shri Ramanlal Vora, who had actually piloted the IITE bill in the Vidhan Sabha. The Hon.Minister of State (Education), Prof. Vasuben Trivedi has given a lot of guidance and inputs on various aspects, including the courses, skills and competencies of the student teachers. I would also like to place on record the help, guidance and active participation of the Principal Secretary, Education Department, Dr. Hasmukh Adhia in the creation of the IITE.

Philosophy & Framework of IITE

INTRODUCTION

The Gujarat State has recently taken important initiatives to express its commitment to innovations in Education. In February 2009, the Gujarat Educational Innovations Act was passed by the Gujarat Legislative Assembly; this Act underlines the necessity of innovating the education system as a whole and it contributed to the development of an innovative concept of Children’s University, in respect of which an Act was passed by the Gujarat Legislative Assembly in June last. The problems of teacher’s education are the next steps that have been taken up by the Government of Gujarat. The Indian Institute of Teacher Education Act was passed in March 2010. The Curriculum Committee that has been constitute4d for developing a curriculum of the IITE has a special privilege and responsibility to look at the problems of teachers’ education in the context of emerging needs of today and tomorrow, and to deliberate on the most fundamental problems which have not so far received adequate attention in the fields of educational research, particularly, in the field of pedagogy. (Copies of the above Acts are enclosed.)

Apart from the above-mentioned three Acts, which have been passed by the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, the Universities in Gujarat have initiated a massive effort at the introduction of semester system and credit system in a phased manner. The new climate which has been created in the higher education as a result of this initiative is favorable to the innovative spirit of the Curriculum Committee of the IITE.

I

The fundamental thrust of the curriculum that the Committee has to develop will result from the emerging and imperative need to develop new types of teachers that can respond to the oft-repeated ideal ideal of education for integral development of personality which would be both value-oriented and skill-oriented, and which would be sensitive to both science science and aesthetics, and which would not only be global in character and outlook but also empowered to discharge corresponding responsibilities. This may appear to be a tall goal, but considering the speed with which the contemporary world is spinning forward, it may seem that even our farthest forward looking ideas will soon become common place. It is with that sense that we can think of the following new thrusts to the programmes of teacher’s education:

  1. We may think of 4 or 5 year integrated programme of teacher’s integrated education and thus of providing to the candidates for teacher education sufficient time to develop their own integral personality, their value-orientation, their skill-orientation and their global outlook and its allied abilities, such as multilingualism and wide knowledge of India and the world as also sensitiveness to empathies with the students of today and tomorrow who have begun to manifest new attitudes and new inclinations, which need to be understood, appreciated and channelised towards the fulfillment of the highest aspirations of humanity.

  2. In consonance with the aims of semester system and credit system, we need to emphasise the theme of interdisciplinarity and even though we may retain the present day streams of arts, science and commerce, we need to ensure that the products of I ITE are interdisciplinary and are able to enter into the new fields of inquiry without psychological blockades of rigidity and inability.

  3. We have in India already an experience of integrated teacher education programme which was initiated by the NCERT and successfully implemented at its Mysore Campus. Even today the Mysore University has continued this 4 or 5 year integrated programme for arts, science and commerce, and we can learn a great deal from its curriculum and even adopt many of its elements.

  4. At same time, we can think developing a few foundational courses, which break the boundaries of the present day streamlines and which would also respond to the holistic demands that our educational system is now beginning to make upon teachers. In this context, we may propose to have in the new curriculum that we shall have to frame the following foundational courses, which can all be spread over 4 years / 5 years:

  5. General Knowledge Course;

  6. Contemporary Global World;

  7. Skill-oriented Education;

  8. Value-oriented Education;

  9. Fundamental Duties;

  10. Indian Culture;

  11. Philosophy of Education and Life;

  12. Education for Personality Development

In addition, we will also conceive two or three or four Core Courses, again spread over 4 or 5 years. These Core Courses can be envisaged to aid the teachers in their actual school work where they will be serving as teachers’. These courses can be as follows:

  1. Education for Integral Development of Personality

  2. Education Through Indian Culture

  3. Multisided Physical Education

  4. Multilingual Courses

7. Philosophy of Education and Life:

There has been one criticism of the educational system that it is divorced from life. This is a valid criticism because, even philosophically, the aims of education and life should be co-terminus. However, when thought is being developed for relating education to life, there is no clarity as to how education and life can be correlated. A deeper reflection is absolutely necessary in the proposed programme. We may, therefore, provide for a philosophical exploration of the aims of life as also of how thinkers of the East and the West have endeavored to develop their philosophy of education in the context of the aims of life.

Many others subjects and topics can also be included. Some of the relevant topics have been indicated in the relevant (Annexure VII).

8. Education for Personality Development:

If one of the acknowledge aims of education is the development of the multisided integral personality, the teachers of today and tomorrow should be empowered to develop their own integral personality and they should have a good philosophical and psychological grounding in the concept of personality and in the processes of integration of personality. Keeping this in view, we may suggest the topics under this subject, which have been indicated in the relevant. (Annexure VIII)

CORE COURSES:

As far as the core courses are concerned, one general remark that we make is that they are necessary for conducting class teaching, and they will have to involve a good deal of project work and practicals.

9. Education for Integral Development of Personality:

If the teacher is conceived as a gardener and a child as the bud that contains within itself the potentialities of full-blown flower, we may be able to get the insights as to what has to be the role of the teacher while tending the bud so that it receives necessary environment, atmosphere, influence and some kind of intervention of intelligent and deliberate but extremely careful and restrained care of the teacher. The teacher is not merely an instructor, but she provides atmosphere and environment through her own internalized values, capacities and also her knowledge and wisdom. Only thinkers can produce thinkers, and only the courageous can impart inspiration towards heroism; only light can kindle lamps, and only the kind and the compassionate can provide to the students the required warmth and uplifting influence. How to implement this oft repeated precept into actual practice of teaching and learning in a class situation has to be worked out carefully. In the relevant Annexure-IVa tentative curriculum has been presented.

10. Education Through Indian Culture:

In the Annexure X, a tentative statement has been made for the consideration of the Committee.

11. Multisided Physical Education:

One of the great deficiencies in Indian system of education is its neglect of meaningful programme of physical education. Sometimes what goes under the programme of yoga has not been sufficiently well planned and what goes under P.T. is so perfunctory that it neither serves the purposes of health nor of strength nor of agility of the physical bodies of the students. A healthy and strong body should be regarded as pre-requisite for any candidate to be a good teacher. Only then the teacher will be able to inspire the child to become a good gymnast, athlete or swimmer, body builder or a good yogi having the right type of the body for spiritual accomplishments.

In the relevant Annexure XI details of this programme have been suggested, and it may be recommended that every student in the IITE should undergo a comprehensive and multisided physical education, and the Institute must find the required time for this purpose.

12. Multilingual Course:

In the relevant Annexure XII, it is suggested that provisions should be made in this Institute to empower every student to have competence in Gujarati and in English so that both can be used as media instruction.

It is further suggested that every student should have competence to read, write and understand Hindi, along with the capacity to translate Hindi into Gujarati and English and vice-versa.

It is also further suggested that every student should have knowledge of Sanskrit so that she can understand, read, speak, converse in Sanskrit at a minimum level and also be able to translate simple passages of Sanskrit into Gujarati or English.

Finally, it is also suggested that if the products of IITE are to be global, they should also have sufficient exposure in one additional foreign language such as French, which has large canvas in the world, and which is also accepted as a language of the United Nations and its agencies.

It is to be understood that most of the students have great linguistic deficiencies, and the committee may like to consider this problem and suggest some crash course for students to acquire capacities of eloquence both in Gujarat/Hindi and English.

III

In addition to the above, the Curriculum Committee may like to make recommendations on the following:

• Credit to be given for the various topics under the Foundational Course and under the Core Courses.

• Credit to be given to Core Courses in Arts, Science and Commerce and other interdisciplinary courses.

• Expected time hours that can be recommended for Core Courses, Foundational Courses and Optional Courses.

• A complete scheme of 4 or 5 years integrated courses.

• Acceptability of the proposed courses by the NCTE.

It may also be added that the Credit System should be made so flexible that interdisciplinary courses can be framed by students according to their inclinations and proficiency. In particular, it may be emphasized that we need to promote:

• Multilingualism

• Issue of Cultural History and the Future

• Interdisciplinarity of the themes such as the following:

a. Ideal of Human Unity

b. Evolution and Future of Human Species

c. History of Religions

d. Classics

e. Philosophy, Astronomy and Classical Languages, etc.

IV

Some thought needs to be devoted to the farming of Time-Tables and to the question of compulsory attendance at lectures.

If the Credit System has to succeed, and if students are to be encouraged to develop the capacity of self-learning (in the light of UNESCO’s thoughts in "Learning: Treasure Within"), we shall have to modify greatly the present Timetable system, and while students may be required to be present in Lecture Halls/Video-Libraries/Book Libraries/Portals Rooms/Libraries, etc., we have to allow students to study through self-learning rather than through attendance at Lectures, according to full-time fixed time-tables. New types of Time- Tables have been thought of.

Directions to Teachers (Class I - IV)

Some practical hints that result form the application of methods of psychological and value-oriented development are suggested here:

(a) It may first be noted that a good many children are under the influence of the inner psychic presence which shows itself very distinctly at times in their spontaneous reactions and even in their words. All spontaneous turning to love, truth, beauty, knowledge, nobility, heroism is a sure sign of the psychic influence.

(b) To recognise these reactions and to encourage them wisely and with a psychic feeling would be the first indispensable step.

(c) The best qualities to develop in children are:

sincerity perseverance

honesty peace

straightforwardness calm

cheerfulness self-control

courage self-mastery

disinterestedness truth

patience harmony

endurance liberty

(d) These qualities are taught infinitely better by examples than by beautiful speeches.

(e) The undesirable impulses and habits should not be treated harshly. The child should not be scolded. Particularly, care should be taken not to rebuke a child for a fault which one commits oneself. Children are very keen and clear-sighted observers; they soon find out the educator’s weaknesses and note them without pity.

(f) When a child makes a mistake, one must see that he confesses it to the teacher or the guardian spontaneously and frankly; and when he has confessed it he should be made to understand with kindness and affection what was wrong in the movement and that he should not repeat it. A fault confessed must be forgiven.

(g) The child should be encouraged to think of wrong impulses not as sins or offences but as symptoms of a curable disease alterable by a steady and a sustained effort of the will - falsehood being rejected and replaced by truth, fear by courage, selfishness by sacrifice, malice by love.

(h) Great care should be taken to see that unformed virtues are not rejected as faults. The wildness and recklessness of many young natures are only the overflowing of an excessive strength, greatness and nobility.

(i) An affection that is firm yet gentle, sees clearly, and a sufficiently practical knowledge will create bonds of trust that are indispensable for the educator to make the education of a child effective.

(j) When a child asks a question, he should not be answered by saying that it is stupid or foolish, or that the answer will not be understood by him. Curiosity cannot be postponed, and an effort must be made to answer questions truthfully and in such a way as to make the answer comprehensible to his mental capacity.

(k) The teacher should ensure that the child gradually begins to be aware of the psychological centre of his being, the psychic being, the inner seat of the highest truth of our existence.

(l) With that growing awareness, the child should be taught to concentrate on his presence and make it more and more a living fact.

(m) The child should be taught that whenever there is an inner uneasiness, he should not pass it off and try to forget it, but should attend to it, and try to find out by an inner observation the cause of the uneasiness, so that it can be removed by inner or other methods.

(n) It should be emphasised that if one has a sincere and steady aspiration, a persistent and dynamic will, one is sure to meet in one way or another, externally by study and instruction, internally by concentration, revelation or experience, the help one needs to reach the goal. Only one thing is absolutely indispensable, the will to discover and realise. This discovery and this realisation should be the primary occupation of the being, the pearl of great price which one should acquire at any cost. Whatever one does, whatever one’s occupation and activity, the will to find the truth of one’s being and to untie with it must always be living, always present behind all one does, all that one thinks, all that one experiences.

All the above suggestions are to be implemented from day to day under various circumstances and in the context of living problems of the growth of children.

The role of the teacher is to put the child upon the right road to its own perfection and encourage it to follow it, watching, suggesting, helping, but not imposing or interfering. The best method of suggestion is by personal example, daily conversation and books read from day to day.

ANNEXURE-X

EDUCATION THROUGH INDIAN CULTURE TO CHILDREN OF INDIA

Class I to IV

The first lesson may underline the concept of reverence to the highest, which is common in all parts of India, and which transcends barriers of religions and beliefs. The most important phrase is: HHt namo namah — salutation, and salutation again. The message of this phrase has become embedded in the entire style of life in India and even in greetings to each other Indians make various gestures of salutations.

Truth is another word that has to be underlined. The search for the Truth supersedes every other search in Indian culture.

The story of the Buddha to be told to the children in detail - his search for the truth was so intense that he renounced all else, -- his kingdom, his wife, his child, - - everything that was dear and near, everything that was pleasant.

Renunciation (wr) is another important common element in Indian culture. India celebrates renunciation and values it most.

The story of the search for the Truth and renunciation is further illustrated by the story of Nachiketas.

The story of Nachiketas can be recounted as given in the Kathopanishad. The story of renunciation is also illustrated through the story of Sri Rama, which can be told to underline Sri Rama’s renunciation and his emphasis on action to uphold the truth.

The story of Harischandra can also be told - it illustrates both Truth and renunciation.

The story of Shivi can also be told in the same connection.

The ideal of Truth is so much emphasized that India when it became free adopted the following as its official motto: — satyam eva jayate.

From where is this motto derived, let us make a search.

It would be found in Mandukya Upanishad. What are Upanishads? They are the highest literature of India. It is in the Upanishads that we find the description of ancient India. Kings and princes and ordinary children are found here in search of Truth and they knock on the doors of the huts of the Rishis in the forest.

The seekers of knowledge in search of teachers have since that time remained an ideal feature of Indian culture.

While telling this, the following statements may be emphasized: Our culture is the culture oftyaga.

Even kings used to abdicate their kingdoms in order to seek the highest knowledge and Truth towards the end of their life. The story of Kunti, Gandhadri and Dhritrashtra can be told in this context.

Ten taktyena bhunjita is another concept that can be introduced from the Ishopanishad.

Abdication of desires is the one message in all religions which are prevalent in India. During the freedom struggle, the idea of abdication was most important. The story of freedom struggle to be told in this connection.

Reference may also to be made o light and sound show of Andaman Nicobar. The story of Bal Gangadhar Tilak, story of Sri Aurobindo, the story of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Khudiram Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, etc. This is the India that should be loved and cherished.

Another aspect of Indian culture is “sarva hitaya” - work for the benefit of all. Reference from Bhagavadgita, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam, etc., can be told. In this connection, we can tell the story of Sri Rama; for public welfare he sacrificed his personal life; story of Sri Krishna and Arjuna; tjW HJT? - solidarity of people was the ideal given by Sri Krishna to Arjuna; story of goodwill; the story of Christ; Buddha’s story of compassion and the idea of sarvodaya, can be emphasised here.

Search for good, love, and joy (ananda). Indian culture is full of festivals of joy, kavya, sangita, stories of Sri Krishna, Shiva, and Mahalaksmi.

Note:

It is generally observed that the language competence of students when they complete senior secondary school is weak. Therefore, it is desirable that students of the integrated teacher education programme undergo bridge courses in English and Gujarati before commencing the studies of the first semester. In this context two bridge courses of 50 hours duration have been designed and will be offered by the IITE to students admitted to the integrated course. It is suggested that the bridge courses be offered for four weeks prior to the commencement of the first semester.

The bridge course in Sanskrit may be offered before commencement of the third semester.

It is important that a teacher has competence enough to convey, through words, what s/he wants the students to do. The delivery of instructions reflects a teacher’s ability to communicate in a precise and understandable manner. Unlike other situations, classroom instructions need to be brief and clear; there is no scope for ambiguity.

Introduction:

The early expressions of human beings are found in all cultures and developed societies. The primitive human beings were not capable of expressing themselves in perfect languages but were masters in expressing themselves with the help of gestures and postures and/or signs and symbols. They had their own developed system for communication and later they have been identified as an art. Whatever they did to develop societies and these societies have contributed in making the world in which we live today. Art is as ancient as human cultures. None can trace the exact dates of origin of these arts and they have emerged naturally.

Fine Arts (Visual and Performing Arts):

Art is the common word for all arts; and art is divided into two broad categories, viz. Fine Arts and Performing Arts. In the present time, there are more art forms added to them. They are known as applied arts or art of presentation, folk arts, etc. As we know, there are many forms of arts, and the team has made hierarchical structure of the word art and thereon, to be considered for the proposed course.

| Fine Arts | Drawing | Deals with drawing shapes, sketches, animals, landscape, etc. | | | | Painting | Painting drawings | | | | Sculpture | Carving idols, models, etc | | | Creative arts | Clay Moulding | Making models from natural and/or inorganic clay | | | | Pottery | Making vessels from mud. | | | Art of Presentation | Graphics | Presentation with pictures, drawings, sketches, etc. | | | | Animation | Animated graphics manually | | | Performing Arts | Music | Vocal | Performance in form of dance | | | | Instruments | | | | Dance | Folk | Human expressions in form of dance | | | | Classical | | | | Drama | Theatre | Staging events in form of play | | | | Folk | | | | Puppetry | Using puppets for presentation | |

General aim of the Course:

The course is proposed with a sublime aim of developing such skills identified from these arts which are required for teaching learning process. These skills will help prospective teachers to be an efficient and an effective teacher. It is also observed that the teacher carries out many activities which can be easily seen in above arts. It may be objected that there is no direct association of these arts in classroom activities, but the skills developed for these activities help the teachers a lot for curriculum transaction. It means they help them in their teaching-learning process. The teacher who can sing and present the poem, who can draw so naturally that depicts original thing, who can make use of techniques like role-play and simulation, who can provide helpful suggestions on dance and music, etc., is the teacher with significant difference. Such teachers play very vital role in the development of learners, and in true sense she is the real teacher. The course will help the prospective teachers to be a real teacher, loved by learners.

Philosophy of Life and Education 1

Credits 2

Aims of the course:

Every individual, at some point in his or her life, will encounter questions regarding the aim of life, such as: What am I to do? What role do I have to play m the vast and mysterious universe? What is the best and highest goal that 1 should aim to realise. An intellectual enquiry into these questions would be an excellent aid in the ultimate search for the aim of life and to the lifelong fulfillment of the individual. This course seeks to lead the students to such an enquiry.

Learning Objectives:

• Students will explore a variety of views and opinions about the aim of life.

• Students will come to an adequate understanding of the variety of aims of life.

• Students will be able to articulate their understanding of the different aims of life.

• Students will be able to form their own views about their own aim of life.

Methodology for the course:

• Discussions: The teacher leads the students in a philosophical discussion, based on the preface, overview and the four basic categories described at the beginning of the book Aim of Life.

• Group Presentations: The students are broken into groups and each group is assigned one chapter which they are to study and present to the rest of the class on an assigned day.

• Projects or Papers: There will be two assignments during the course of the term. The first assignment may be a short essay on any aspect of views of one of the personalities. The second assignment may be a more substantial project which is at the culmination of the term in which the student is required to present a thesis based on the study of at least two of the views in this book.

Assessment for the course:

• Class Discussions

• Presentation

• Project Work

• Examination (not essential)

Content of the course:

It may be acknowledged that throughout the history of awakened thought, there has been a persistent questioning about the aim of human life and answers have been sought at various levels of reflection and critical thought. Answers have been derived from morality, religion, spiritual experience, humanism, and critical scientific enquiry amongst many others.

The book titled Aim of Life, published by Sri Aurobindo International Institute of Educational Research (SAUER), Auroville, is presented to us as a vast canvas related to the theme of the aim of life. It is meant to be exploratory in nature. Texts have been selected from many important works related to the aim of life, in the spirit of collecting at random some flowers from a beautiful garden and yet giving us a glimpse of a large variety of views on the subject so that each individual may make an intellectual enquiry and arrive at their own conclusions freely.

The contents of the books are as follows:

Communication Skills: English 1

Credits 2

Aim of the course:

The major aim of developing one’s skills of communication is to establish rapport with the self and thereby with others around. This implies going beyond exchange of information, even use of sophisticated expressions and courtesies. It is a reflection of one’s inner self. An effective communicator is open to accept one’s shortcomings and appreciate strengths of others. Lacunae in communication, essentially, are due to internal conflicts among communicators. Raising levels of consciousness is the basic necessity to resolve conflicts. Such an approach to developing communicative competence can become an additional accomplishment, a requisite of a truly educated individual, more so of individuals aspiring to be teachers. Thus, effective communication is a creative process.

The primary function of teachers is to improve student learning and inspire them to respect themselves, thereby instil confidence in them. Language being a tool to develop and crystallize thoughts and academic work essentially being verbal, a satisfactory level of linguistic competence is a must. For this to happen, teachers require effective communication.

Development of Integral Personality (DIP1) with focus on Music & Dance

Credits 2

Course Objective:

Philosophical Aspect

If one of the acknowledged aims of education is the development of the multisided integral personality, the teachers of today and tomorrow should be empowered to develop their own integral personality and they should have a good philosophical and psychological grounding in the concept of personality and in the processes of development and integration of personality.

Self-Study Aspect

If the teacher is conceived as a gardener and a child as the bud that contains within itself the potentialities of full-blown flower, we may be able to get the insights as to what has to be the role of the teacher while tending the bud so that it receives necessary environment, atmosphere, influence and some kind of intervention of intelligent and deliberate but extremely careful and restrained care of the teacher. The teacher is not merely an instructor, but she provides atmosphere and environment through her own internalized values, capacities and also her knowledge and wisdom. Only thinkers can produce thinkers, and only the courageous can impart inspiration towards heroism; only light can kindle lamps, and only the kind and the compassionate can provide to the students the required warmth and uplifting influence. How to implement this oft repeated precept into actual practice of teaching and learning in a class situation has to be worked out carefully. A tentative curriculum ‘To know oneself and to control oneself has been appended, topics from which can be selected by students for self-study.

Aim of Philosophical Study: To study concepts of person and personality. Both western and Indian views should be included. These would include distinction between introvert and extrovert; concepts of ego, superego, personality and individuality. Person as a soul, psychic being, Soul and the Divine Reality.

Professional Courses

Philosophy of Life and Education - 2

Credits 2

Aim of the course:

To enquire into the philosophy of teaching and learning of several teachers in the history of the world.

Objectives of the course:

  1. Students will explore a variety of views and opinions about the nature of teaching and learning and the best methods of teaching and learning.

  2. Students will come to an adequate understanding of the subject of teaching and learning.

  3. Students will be able to articulate their understanding of the subject.

  4. Students will be able to form their own views and identify the qualities that make a good teacher and a good student.

Methodology for the Course:

1. Discussions: The teacher leads the students in a philosophical discussion, based on the Preface and the Overview in the book The Good Teacher and The Good Pupil. The discussion will be based on various themes of teaching and learning such as: What is the role of instruction, example and influence in the teaching process? Is it enough for a teacher to have professional competence and the power of communication? If not, what more can we expect? What are the qualities of a good student? What is the value of concentration in the process of learning? What is the role of sincerity? What is the ideal relationship between a teacher and a student? What is the role of freedom vs. disciplines in the process of teaching and learning?

2. Group Presentations: The students are broken into groups and each group is assigned one chapter which they are to study and present to the rest of the class on an assigned day. However, the goal would be not merely to present but to try and teach the content to the rest of their peers. The group should consider the methods they will employ to teach this content to the class in such a way that chosen methods are appropriate in regard to the content as well as the audience. There is a dynamic interaction between the teachers and learners, leading to a spark of enthusiasm on the part of the learners for the subject. This should be followed by an open discussion with the entire class along with the teacher regarding whether the "lesson" presented created an enthusiasm for the subject, an eagerness to learn, an easy opening for grasping the essence of the subject.

3. Projects or Papers: There will be one assignment which will be due at the end of the term. This will be an essay on any one of the themes touched upon during the course of the term, based on an in-depth study and analysis of one or two of the chapters. The themes include the following: instruction, example and influence; teacher-centered education vs. child-centered education; freedom vs. discipline; ideal relationship between teacher and the pupil amongst many others. More themes for this essay may be suggested by the teacher or mutually agreed on between the student and the teacher.

Assessment for the course:

  1. Class Discussions

  2. Presentation or "Teaching"

  3. Essay

  4. Examination (not essential)

Content of the course:

What makes a good teacher good? What is it that makes a good student? What is the ideal relationship of a teacher and student? These are all difficult questions and even those who advocate child-centered education have different views on the subject. As we will all be students as well as teachers throughout our lives in some capacity or the other, as parents, mentors, professionals in the work place, it is important to make an exploration into a variety of views on the subject.

The book The Good Teacher and the Good Pupil published by Sri Aurobindo International Institute of Educational Research (SAUER), Auroville, aims at exactly such an exploration. The passages are selected at random and are in a variety of forms such as: stories and parables, some are accounts of experiences, some are essays, a few are autobiographical, one or two are poems, and some are in the form of epistles or dialogues. It gives each individual a colourful and interesting bouquet to explore the theme of The Good Teacher and The Good Pupil.

The contents of the books are as follows:

Development of Integral Personality (DIP2) with focus on Art, Craft & Sculpture

Credits 2

Course Objective:

Philosophical Aspect

If one of the acknowledged aims of education is the development of the multisided integral personality, the teachers of today and tomorrow should be empowered to develop their own integral personality and they should have a good philosophical and psychological grounding in the concept of personality and in the processes of development and integration of personality.

Self-Study Aspect

If the teacher is conceived as a gardener and a child as the bud that contains within itself the potentialities of full-blown flower, we may be able to get the insights as to what has to be the role of.the teacher while tending the bud so that it receives necessary environment, atmosphere, influence and some kind of intervention of intelligent and deliberate but extremely careful and restrained care of the teacher. The teacher is not merely an instructor, but she provides atmosphere and environment through her own internalized values, capacities and also her knowledge and wisdom. Only thinkers can produce thinkers, and only the courageous can impart inspiration towards heroism; only light can kindle lamps, and only the kind and the compassionate can provide to the students the required warmth and uplifting influence. How to implement this oft repeated precept into actual practice of teaching and learning in a class situation has to be worked out carefully. A tentative curriculum ’To Know Oneself and to Control Oneself has been appended, topics from which can be selected by students for self-study.

Aim of Philosophical Study: To examine relationship of individual personality with other entities

  1. Relationship of individual with Divine

  2. Relationship of individual with the universe and harmonization of relationship through an integrated view of philosophy, psychology, physical sciences, art and craft and technology.

  3. Relationship of individual with family, friends, related groups and society.

Self Study Component

To Know Oneself and to Control Oneself -11

Some practical hints that result from the application of methods of psychological and value-oriented development are suggested here:

(a) It may first be noted that many children are under the influence of the inner psychic presence which shows itself very distinctly at times in their spontaneous reactions and even in their words. All spontaneous turning to love, truth, beauty, knowledge, nobility, heroism is a sure sign of the psychic influence.

(b) To recognise these reactions and to encourage them wisely and with a psychic feeling would be the first indispensable step.

(c) The best qualities to develop in children are:

| Sincerity | Perseverance | | Honesty | Peace | | Straightforwardness | Calm | | Cheerfulness | Self-control | | Courage | Self-mastery | | Disinterestedness | Truth | | Patience | Harmony | | Endurance | Liberty |

(d) These qualities are taught infinitely better by examples than by beautiful speeches.

(e) The undesirable impulses and habits should not be treated harshly. The child should not be scolded. Particularly, care should be taken not to rebuke a child for a fault which one commits oneself. Children are very keen and clear-sighted observers; they soon find out the educator s weaknesses and note them without pity.

(f) When a child makes a mistake, one must see that he confesses it to the teacher or the guardian spontaneously and frankly; and when he has confessed it he should be made to understand with kindness and affection what was wrong in the movement and that he should not repeat it. A fault confessed must be forgiven.

(g) The child should be encouraged to think of wrong impulses not as sins or offences but as symptoms of a curable disease alterable by a steady and a sustained effort of the will - falsehood being rejected and replaced by truth, fear by courage, selfishness by sacrifice, malice by love.

(h) Great care should be taken to see that unformed virtues are not rejected as faults. The wildness and recklessness of many young natures are only the overflowing of an excessive strength, greatness and nobility.

(i) An affection that is firm yet gentle, sees clearly and a sufficiently practical knowledge will create bonds of trust that are indispensable for the educator to make the education of a child effective.

(j) When a child asks a question, he should not be answered by saying that it is stupid or foolish, or that the answer will not be understood by him. Curiosity . cannot be postponed, and an effort must be made to answer questions . truthfully and in such a way so as to make the answer comprehensible to his mental capacity.

(k) The teacher should ensure that the child gradually begins to be aware of the psychological centre of his being, the psychic being, the inner seat of the highest truth of our existence.

(l) With that growing awareness, the child should be taught to concentrate on his presence and make it more and more a living fact.

(m) The child should be taught that whenever there is an inner uneasiness, he should not pass it off and try to forget it, but should attend to it, and try to find out by an inner observation the cause of the uneasiness, so that it can be removed from within or other methods.

(n) It should be emphasized that if one has a sincere and steady aspiration, a persistent and dynamic will, one is sure to meet in one way or another, externally by study and instruction, internally by concentration, revelation or experience, the help one needs to reach the goal. Only one thing is absolutely indispensable, the will to discover and realise. This discovery and this realisation should be the primary occupation of the being, the pearl of great price which one should acquire at any cost. Whatever one does, whatever one’s occupation and activity, the will to find the truth of one’s being and to untie with it must always be living, always present behind all one does, all that one thinks, all that one experiences.

All the above suggestions are to be implemented from day to day under various circumstances and in the context of living problems of the growth of children.

The role of the teacher is to put the child upon the right road to its own perfection and encourage it to follow it, watching, suggesting, helping, but not imposing or interfering. The best method of suggestion is by personal example, daily conversation and books read from day to day.

  11. Picture of the beauty of nature.

  12. Study of great personalities: the Buddha (a detailed study).

  13. Need for physical fitness: what it means (topic for study and reflection).

III. Teachers may recommend the following exercises according to circumstances and in response to the individual needs of each student:

  1. Resolve daily to be truthful, to be free from fear and to have goodwill for everyone.

  2. Works of labour and community service with an inner motive of dedication.

  3. Clarity of thought: there is a distinction between appearance and reality (Examples from science, history, literature and philosophy).

  4. Cleanliness and purity of the body, exercises for the body.

The Nature of the Universe

Objective: Students should observe night sky and be able to identify constellations and planets. Using telescopes it has been possible to see galaxies, which are star clusters containing several billion stars. In the first quarter of the twentieth century observation of speeds and distances of galaxies enabled Hubble to reach the conclusion that galaxies are receding away from each other and that the universe is expanding. If the universe is expanding then there must have been a time in the past when the universe had its beginning. This event is called the Big Bang. The understanding of the formation of galaxies and of stars within the galaxy, the end of life of stars after they have exhausted their source of energy and their settling down as white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes is the triumph of the twentieth century astronomy and astrophysics. Students should be able to ask questions about cosmological models, life on earth and possibility of existence of life elsewhere in the universe and search for it.

Sky chart. Constellation. Galaxies. Drift of galaxies away from each other. Hubble’s relation - speed of drift of galaxies versus distance. Cosmological principle. Expanding Universe. Big Bang cosmology. Origin of time. Age of the universe. Birth and death of stars. Energy production in stars. Stars factory of production of elements. White dwarf stars, neutron stars, black holes. Formation of planets. Universality of physical laws. Evolution of life on earth - life elsewhere in the universe. Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SET1).

Relationship of Earth with the Universe

Objective: Students should observe night sky and view the universe as it appears when seen from earth. Observations remaining the same but with a change of perspective from geocentric to heliocentric view of the universe analysis of motion of planets result in simplification from complicated epicycles to elliptic orbits of the planets around the sun with simple algebraic relation between orbital distance from the sun and orbital period of the planets. Realization that the earth is one of the planets of the star sun instead of diminishing the importance of the earth in the universe as resulted in formulation of principles of modern science and understanding of the physical laws which have universal application. Earth is a cold planet and depends entirely on sun for energy that sustains life on it. Student should understand that seasons on earth arise not because of change of distance of the earth from Sun in its orbital motion but because of the inclination of the spinning axis of the earth with respect to its orbital plane. A noticeable impact of unsustainable life style by man is depletion of non-renewa e resources of the earth and consequent ecological imbalance which has put t e p anet earth at risk for life of man and those of other species that coexist wit it. y understanding the process of evolution and conditions for sustenance of life on earth the student should be able to make choice of a sustainable life style.

Evolutionary Process

Objectives’ The greatest wonder on earth is the scientific evidence that all life on earth has evolved from a common ancestor. Student should explore the process of evolution based on Darwin’s theory of natural selection buttressed by scientific developments in molecular biology and be able to construct broad outline of the "the tree of life" with speciation events. If the chemical origin of life, its continuation as explained by recent developments in molecular biology, conditions for sustenance of life on earth are accepted then an obvious question to ask is whether we are alone in this universe or the universe is abundantly rich in life.

All life on earth shares a common ancestor -all species have the same DNA code. Age of earth. "Tree of life" and its time sequence over 3500 million years. Origin of primitive life on earth - Achaea, bacteria, eukaryote, Fossil records and diversity of living organism. Evolutionary relationship. Ancestral lineage. Speciation event. Extinction, survival. Accumulation of oxygen from photosynthesis.

Gregor Mandel’s fundamentals of genetics. Chromosomes. Cells. DNA molecule. Double helix. Replication of DNA molecule in a cell and cell division. Gene as fundamental units of DNA molecule. DNA sequence in chromosomes.

Mechanisms of the process of evolution: mutation, Darwin’s theory of natural selection, migration, genetic drift, gene flow.

Human evolution, Hominid family tree. Misconceptions about human evolution - human did not evolve from chimpanzee - humans are not "higher" or "more evolved" than other living organisms.
