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-centred programmes considering the
demands of the group. Student teachers can conduct any activity/programme 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
Intelligences. 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
intelligences refer to a
theory put forward by Howard Gardner (1983). The multiple intelligences 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
intelligences are needed to live life well. Teachers, therefore, need to attend
to all intelligences, not just the first two of verbal-linguistic or
mathematical-logical intelligences, 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 intelligences
suggests several other ways in which the material might be presented to
facilitate effective learning.
The
theory of multiple intelligences 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
intelligences, 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
intelligences
2. To make students aware about the different types of
professions as per their intelligence
3. To enable students to improve the types of
intelligences 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
programme 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 Intelligences. The video was in the form of an e content.
Several slides describing about the 9 types intelligences, the famous
personalities coming under each types of intelligences, the characteristics of
people having that intelligence, the ways to improve each of the intelligences,
the fields which are suitable for each of the intelligences 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 utilise all the nine types of intelligences. By teaching
the dominant intelligences, 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 intelligences 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 maths, 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.
