[Kerala University English Teacher Educator’s
Forum - KUETEF]
As part of the BEd course,
trainees have to analyze Course Books prescribed for the State Syllabus,
the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and sometimes the National Council
for Educational Research and Training (NCERT).
The following is an
extract from a handout which I prepared for circulation during the
BEd. Curriculum Core Committee meeting on 26 March 2013.
Checklist for trainees- For reading a Course Book from
a pedagogic view point:
-What
is the main objective ?
-What
kind of additional material is required ?
-Is
there scope for including video/ audio for better learning?
-How
much time should be devoted for each section?
-What
kind of language work should be
included?
-What
should be the nature of the activities for pupils to develop the four skills?
-What
should be the nature of the activities for pupils to prepare various
discourses?
-How
can various issues be introduced ?
-What
activities can be given for nurturing MI ?
-How
can inter-disciplinary study be attempted?
-
What should be done to make the class activity-based, process-oriented and
learner-centred?
