CTET 2017 Study Notes: Other Sites and Space

Other Sites and Space:

Sites of curriculum that are physically located outside the school premises are just as important as the ones discussed so far. These are sites like local monuments and museums, natural physical features such as rivers and hills, everyday spaces such as marketplaces and post offices. The teacher’s ability to plan the school schedule in a manner that permits imaginative use of such resources directly affects the quality of education that children might receive at a school. Restriction of classroom activities to what is written in the textbook implies a serious impediment to the growth of children’s interests and capabilities. Quite a few such impediments result from the rigid observation of the school’s daily or annual routine. The night sky is not available for the study of stars simply because the school does not open its gates or allow access to its roof at night. Watching the setting sun or observing the arrival of the monsoon in June fall outside the school’s timetable. Exchange visits between schools in different parts of the country, and even the neighbouring SAARC countries, could become important ways of promoting mutual understanding.

Teachers and educational administrators would have to join hands to release the system from such rigidities. In addition, syllabus makers and the writers of textbooks and teachers, handbooks would also have to get into the details of the planning of learning activities, which would widen the scope of the curriculum. This would require breaking away from the mindset that excursions and activities related to the arts and crafts are ‘extra-curricular’.

Thanks
