Reflection of teaching practicum

Teaching practice is a way to enhance a and boost the teaching

skills in prospective teacher. It also modify the teacher’s behavior and
knowledge. There is a lot of methods and strategies that teacher use
during teaching but I mostly prefer to student center teaching where
students do work independently and I only facilitate them.
During teaching practice I used many methods that enhanced pupil’s
learning and their interest .I usually used activity methods ,project
method and survey method where pupils are actively participate and
show their interest . During teaching I faced some hurdles like
behavior problems, lake of interest and laziness among students but
by implementing some behavioral theories and reinforcement I
overcome these problems.
Planning
And
Teaching
A lesson plan is a step by step guide that provides a structure for
an essential learning. Before planning a lesson ,it is essential to
classify the learning outcomes for the class. It is important
because it helps the teacher in maintaining a standard teaching
pattern and does not let the class deviate from the topic.

Consultation Meeting on the National Education Policy 2016-AJK Report

September 21, 2015

Acknowledgements

On September 21 , 2015 a consultation sessions on the National Education

Policy 2016 was held in the Muzaffarabad AJK .The ITA team facilitated the
consultation sessions and successfully engaged both students /youth and
teachers/faculty in contributing too the policy revision process.

The bold decision by the citizens of Pakistan to engage with the NEP 2016
policy and reforms process is matched by the same vigor and robustness
as seen in the annual status of Education Report data collection on learning
making the invisible visible through a citizen led effort.
Recognizing the critical urgency of article 25 A- right to education and its
implementation , the education sector plans and targets and the upcoming
sustainable development goals-especially goal 4 and its accompanying 10
targets – it was essential to find a platform in collaboration with federal and
Mprovincial governments for citizens, especially youth, to voice their
concerns regarding the current education scenario in Pakistan , After all
youth comprise 31% of our population and they form the active ranks of
students , teachers, entrepreneurs, and young parents , who rarely get an
opportunity to voice their opinions.

This exercise would not have been possible without the active engagement
and support of;

SDGs and Jawan Pakistan Dubai Cares as part of its ongoing nation

For
Teacher
THE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS ALL
EFFECTIVE TEACHERS MUST MEET
You are looking to become a teacher and you want to be a pretty
good one that. Then you should probably know about the InTASC
standards. The interstate New Teacher Assessment and support
Consortium has identified ten standards of the knowledge ,
dispositions, and skills expected of teachers . They have developed
a detailed list of professional standards for the licensing of new
teachers , describing what new teachers should know ,how they
should perform and the necessary disposition for effective teaching .
Here brief description of the ten In TASC standards you need to
know ,so you can be an effective teacher.

1.Learner development
The teacher understands how students learn and how they develop
teachers apply this understanding to each students learn and how
they develop . Teachers apply this understanding to each student in
the context of student’s cognitive , linguistic , social ,emotional , and
physical abilities because they understand that students ’abilities
differ. The teacher respect these students differences and leverage
differences to allow all students to reach their full potential, focusing
on and drawing out their individual strengths.
2.Learning differences

language ,and socioeconomic status of his or her students,

and delivery to ensure that they promote and encourage diversity ,
particularly for students who have special needs.

learning environments for his or her students. Teachers apply this
understanding to create activities that facilitate both individual and
collaborative learning , while also promoting positive social
interaction between students of different backgrounds.
4. Content knowledge

subjects that he or she is required to make the content accessible
and approachable to all students .Applying this standard , teacher
commit to keeping up to date and relevant in their content areas, in
both local and global contexts , incorporating and promoting cross-
cultural understanding. Teachers encourage and appreciate
students’ critical analysis and ensure that students are
appropriately challenged with adequate resources to support their
learning .
5. Application of content

within learning content , using this understanding to engage
students and to help them apply these concepts to the real world.
Teacher also use this understanding to draw from content material
outside their own area of concentration , helping students to
understand how their education as whole is composed of
interrelated components.
6. Assessment

that encourage and support the growth of his or her students.

Blooms
And
Solo
Taxonomy

Blooms and Solo Taxonomy

Bloom’s Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of

educational psychologist Dr Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher
forms of thinking in education, such an analyzing and evaluating concepts,
process , procedures ,and principles , rather than just remembering facts .
The three domains of learning

Cognitive : mental skills

Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas

Psychomotor :manual or physical skills

Since the work was produced by higher education. The words tend to
be a little bigger than we normally use. Domains may be thought of as
categories . Instructional designers , trainers, and educators often refer in
three categories as KSA.

This taxonomy of learning behaviors may be thought of as the goals

of learning process. That is , after a learning episode , the learner should
have acquired a new skill, knowledge and attitude.

While the committee produced an elaborate compilation for the

cognitive and effective domains, they omitted the psychomotor domain.

Their explanation for this oversight was that they have little experience in
teaching manual skills within the college level. However, there have been at
least three psychomotor models created by other researchers.

Their compilation divides three domains into sub divisions , starting from
the simplest cognitive process or behavior to the most complex. Bloom’s
Taxonomy is easily understood and is probably the most widely applied one
in use today.
Cognitive
domain
Cognitive Domain

The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of

intellectual skills (Bloom,1956). This includes the recall or recognition of

specific facts , procedural patterns and concepts that serve in the

development of intellectual abilities and skills .There are six major

categories of cognitive processes, starting from the simplest to the most

complex:

• Knowledge

• Comprehension

• Application

• Analysis
• Synthesis

• Evaluation

The categories can be thought of as degrees of difficulties. That is the

first ones must normally be mastered before the next one can take place.
