Dr. Ashit Baran Aich Registrar (Actg.) 2 Netaji Subhas Open University From the Vice-Chancellor's Desk Dear Students, from this Academic Session (2015-17) the Curriculum and Course Structure of B. Ed.- Special Education have been thoroughly revised as per the stipulations which featured in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) and the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). The newly designed course structure and syllabus is comprehensive and futuristic has, therefore, been contextualized and adopted by NSOU from the present academic session, following the directives of the aforesaid national statutory authorities. Consequent upon the introduction of new syllabus the revision of Self Instructional Material (SIM) becomes imperative. The new syllabus was circulated by RCI for introduction in the month of June, 2015 while the new session begins in the month of July. So the difficulties of preparing the SIMs within such a short time can easily be understood. However, the School of Education of NSOU took up the challenge and put the best minds together in preparing SIM without compromising the standard and quality of such an academic package. It required many rigorous steps before printing and circulation of the entire academic package to our dear learners. Every intervening step was meticulously and methodically followed for ensuring quality in such a time bound manner. The SIMs are prepared by eminent subject experts and edited by the senior members of the faculty specializing in the discipline concerned. Printing of the SIMs has been done with utmost care and attention. Students are the primary beneficiaries of these materials so developed. Therefore, you must go through the contents seriously and take your queries, if any, to the Counselors during Personal Contact Programs (PCPs) for clarifications. In comparison to F2F mode, the onus is on the learners in the ODL mode. So please change your mind accordingly and shrug off your old mindset of teacher dependence and spoon feeding habits immediately. 3 I would further urge you to go for other Open Educational Resources (OERs) - available on websites, for better understanding and gaining comprehensive mastery over the subject. From this year NSOU is also providing ICT enabled support services to the students enrolled under this University. So, in addition to the printed SIMs, the e-contents are also provided to the students to facilitate the usage and ensure more flexibility at the user end. The other ICT based support systems will be there for the benefit of the learners. So please make the most of it and do your best in the examinations. However, any suggestion or constructive criticism regarding the SIMs and its improvement is welcome. 1 must acknowledge the contribution of all the content writers, editors and background minds at the SoE, NSOU for their respective efforts, expertise and hard work in producing the SIMs within a very short time.

Through this module we would try to understand the basic concepts of learning, the frontier theories and its application in academics. Apart from learning the present module concentrates on another basic concept in Psychology, i.e., intelligence. We will discuss the definitions, characteristics, a brief history of intelligence measurement, followed by leading theories in intelligence. The module will further concentrate on another psychological construct very closely associated with intelligence, i.e., creativity. We will discuss the concept, nature and characteristics of creativity followed by implications of learning in academic settings. At the end of this module students are expected to have a clear understanding about learning and intelligence and its application in academics. 1.2 Objectives At the end of successful completion of the module students will be able to understand the following: — The concept and nature of learning. — The various perspectives and theories of learning principle, with a highlight to behavioristic theories, cognitive theories and social learning theories. — The concept and characteristics of intelligence. — Various intelligence theories with a highlight on Spearman’s two factor theory, Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory and Steinberg’s Triarchich intelligence theory. — The concept, definition and characteristics of creativity. It’s relationship with motivation and intelligence. — The Implications for Classroom Teaching and Learning. 10 1.3 Human learning: Meaning, definition and concept formation Learning can be defined as the process leading to relatively permanent behavioral change or potential behavioral change. In other words, as we learn, we alter the way we perceive our environment, the way we interpret the incoming stimuli, and therefore the way we interact, or behave. Learning is one of the most important activities in which humans engage. It is at the very core of the educational process, although most of what people learn occurs outside of school. For thousands of years, philosophers and psychologists have sought to understand the nature of learning, how it occurs, and how one person can influence the learning of another person through teaching and similar endeavors. Various theories of learning have been suggested, and these theories differ for a variety of reasons. Evolving Theories of Learning The modern psychological study of learning can be dated from the work of Hermann Ebbinghaus (1850-1909), whose well-known study of memory was published in 1885. Other early studies of learning were by Edward L. Thorndike (1874-1949), whose dissertation on problem solving was published in 1898, and Ivan Pavlov (1849- 1936), whose research on classical conditioning was begun in 1899 but first published in English in 1927. These theories focused on explaining the behavior of individuals and became known as behavioral theories. These theories use a stimulus- response framework to explain learning and dominated psychology and education for over half a century. Because behavioral theories focus on environmental factors such as reinforcement, feedback, and practice, they conceptualize learning as something that occurs from the outside in. Behavioral theories provide very good explanations for certain kinds of learning but poor explanations for other types of learning. Operant conditioning, for example, is better than other theories at explaining the rote acquisition of information, the learning of physical and mental skills, and the development of behaviors conducive to a productive classroom (i.e., classroom management). In these situations, the focus is on performing behavioral tasks rather than developing a learner’s cognitive structure or understanding. Although classical conditioning frequently is dismissed as irrelevant to human learning (Pavlov’s initial research paradigm involved dogs salivating), this type of learning provides by far the best explanation of how and why people, including students, respond emotionally to a wide variety of stimuli and situations. The many types of emotional reactions acquired through classical 11 conditioning include: anger toward or hatred for a particular person or group, phobias to a particular subject area or to school itself, and infatuation with another person.

  • Grading System
    Pro. Jinal P. Patel / International Journal for Research in Vol. 3, Issue: 2, March-April 2014 Education (IJRE) ISSN: (P) 2347-5412 ISSN: (O) 2320-091X Grading System PROF. JINAL P. PATEL The Sandipani Shikshan Mahavidhyalaya, Ghatlodia, Ahmedabad Gujarat (India) Abstract: Grading in the realm of education is the process of applying standardized measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Adoption of grading system in India, the grading system was introduced in 2008-09 from class I-VIII, reducing the exam stress. Extending the concept to class IX and X has further reduced the pressure, giving students an opportunity to explore other avenues. Following the US model, the implementation of the grading system is to bring in more practical education than the current theoretical method. This model prescribes a varied range of opportunities, providing children of all levels a platform to showcase their talent and pursue their interests traditionally; class XI students were given subjects as per marks scored in Class X. This system often disappointed students if they scored low. Moreover, if a student didn't get the required percentage due to poor scoring in one subject, then the entire percentage gets affected. The grading system will give students relief. It will provide ample opportunities to students to excel in their choice filed. The Indian education system has taken a step forward towards reviving the education system with the introduction of grading system in session 2009-10. It will help in reducing the pressure on students during exams. In the last five years the meaning of education has changed for students from imbibing knowledge to merely scoring marks, resulting in myriad forms of education policies.

    Leaders in Educational Research LEADERS IN EDUCATIONAL STUDIES Volume 7 Series Editor: Leonard J. Waks Temple University, Philadelphia, USA Scope: The aim of the Leaders in Educational Studies Series is to document the rise of scholarship and university teaching in educational studies in the years after 1960. This half-century has been a period of astonishing growth and accomplishment. The volumes in the series document this development of educational studies as seen through the eyes of its leading practitioners. A few words about the build up to this period are in order. Before the mid-twentieth century school teaching, especially at the primary level, was as much a trade as a profession. Schoolteachers were trained primarily in normal schools or teachers colleges, only rarely in universities. But in the 1940s American normal schools were converted into teachers colleges, and in the 1960s these were converted into state universities. At the same time school teaching was being transformed into an all-graduate profession in both the United Kingdom and Canada. For the first time, school teachers required a proper university education. Something had to be done, then, about what was widely regarded as the deplorable state of educational scholarship. James Conant, in his final years as president at Harvard in the early 1950s, envisioned a new kind of university-based school of education, drawing scholars from mainstream academic disciplines such as history, sociology psychology and philosophy, to teach prospective teachers, conduct educational research, and train future educational scholars. One of the first two professors hired to fulfil this vision was Israel Scheffler, a young philosopher of science and language who had earned a Ph.D.

  • Celebrating 50 Years of LRDC (PDF)
    UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Celebrating 50 Years of LRDC This report was published in 2014 by the University of Pittsburgh Learning Research and Development Center. THIS REPORT CELEBRATES THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH LEARNING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER’S (LRDC) 50 YEARS AS A LEADING INTERDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON LEARNING AND EDUCATION. IT PROVIDES GLIMPSES OF LRDC OVER THE YEARS AND HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE EXCITING WORK THAT OCCUPIES OUR CURRENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA. The Center’s interconnected programs of research and development have reflected its mission of stimulating interaction between research and practice across a broad spectrum of problems, from the neural basis of learning to the development of intelligent tutors to educational policy. Among research institutions in learning and education, this interconnected breadth is unique. The Center’s research has been equally wide-ranging in the domains of learning it has studied. Reading, mathematics, and science—staples of education—have been a continuing focus over much of LRDC’s 50 years. However, the Center also has addressed less-studied learning domains (e.g., history, geography, avionics, and law) as well as the reasoning and intellectual abilities that serve learning across domains. Moreover, social settings for learning, including those outside schools; teaching effectiveness; and technol- ogy for learning are all part of LRDC’s research story. LRDC’s ability to sustain research programs across these diverse, intersecting problems owes much to the cooperation of its partnering schools and depart- ments in the University. The leadership of the University of Pittsburgh has made possible what is often very difficult: a research center that has been able to effectively pursue truly cross-disciplinary research programs.

  • Learning Theories Primer
    A Primer on Learning Theories Shayan Doroudi School of Education University of California, Irvine [email protected] What does it mean to learn? How does learning happen? How do we know when someone has learned something? And how do we use these insights to help people learn better–by improving teaching practices or creating technologies that help people learn? While many people, including philosophers and lay people, have pondered on these questions for centuries, they became more prominent with the advent of psychology, a field that can give us scientific insights into how people learn. A variety of learning theories have been proposed from the late nineteenth century (when the field of experimental psychology first formed) to the present day. A learning theory tries to explain how people learn, usually based on an accumulation of scientific evidence. (Technically, we could also develop theories about how animals or machines learn as well, and indeed these informed certain learning theories, as we discuss below.) Scientific experiments that study learning usually give us insights on how someone learns a specific thing in a specific time and place (e.g., how does a student learn when solving math problems in a classroom, or how does a person learn when given a puzzle to solve in a lab?). In reality, learning is a rich and complex phenomenon, and most, if not all, scientists would agree that there is no single kind of learning that can describe all the ways all people learn in all situations. Thus, in practice, what are often called learning theories are really worldviews for how to think about learning.

  • Assessment for Learning in Classroom
    ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING IN CLASSROOM PRASANTH VENPAKAL ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING IN CLASSROOM Learning is a relatively permanent change in, or acquisition of knowledge, understanding or behavior. There are three ways of learning, they’re Transmission, Reception and Construction. Student Evaluation in Transmission Reception ( Behaviorist ) Model of Education Reception is model of learning where there is transmission of knowledge from the external source (for example, teacher) to the receiver (students). So, learning here is being taught. The teacher gives students the concept and knowledge while students are only receiving it purely. Transmission is Sending & Receiving messages, knowledge, signals. Which includes no scope for creativity, Rigidity and Generally method of teaching is Lecture Method. Behaviorism Theory of Learning “ Teachers must learn how to teach … they need only to be taught more effective ways of teaching.” -B. F. Skinner By: Brittaney Behaviorism assumes that a learner is essentially passive, responding to environmental stimuli. It Believes that When born our mind is ‘tabula rasa’ (a blank slate) , and behavior is shaped by positive and negative reinforcement. Behaviorism is primarily concerned with observable behavior, as opposed to internal events like thinking and emotion. Observable (i.e. external) behavior can be objectively and scientifically measured. Internal events, such as thinking should be explained through behavioral terms (or eliminated altogether). Assessment in Behaviorist Model of Education Here the importance is to assess how much students where receiving the information transmitted by the teacher. Knowledge transmission cannot be evaluated. But indirect methods can be used to assess attention or emotional states. Here teacher can assess only the success of teaching process.
