INTERNSHIP

Course Code: BED251, BED253, BED255 & BED257

Credits:20
M.M:400
Rationale and Aim

The school-based activities are designed to enable the student-teachers to connect theory to
practice and to help them acquire a perspective regarding the aims of education within which
their previously acquired knowledge and practices can be systematized and structured to enable
them to teach effectively. The purpose of the internship programme is to provide the student
(intern) with the opportunity of undergoing a meaningful experience as a practitioner. As
conceived, the programme should be structured so that it is a partnership between the school
and the teacher education institutions. The intern must function as a regular teacher and
therefore be immersed in all aspects of the school but with the provision that the intern is
enabled to be creative in her role as a practitioner. This can be accomplished by providing her
the necessary physical space as well as pedagogical freedom to innovate. For this it is necessary
to negotiate with the school focusing on the benefit that will accrue to the school by the
proposed partnership model. The programme will be largely field-based so that the intern will
get to experience the real problems that a practitioner has to deal with. To achieve the aim of
the programme the intern will need to integrate her knowledge base, her understanding of
children and classroom processes, theoretical pedagogical considerations, the strategies and
skills she has developed in order for her to become a reflective practitioner.
.
Objectives of the Course:
• To observe children and the teaching learning process in a systematic manner.
• To learn to relate to and communicate with children.
• To learn the nuances of the practice of teaching in a School using appropriate methods,
materials and skills
• To evaluate school textbooks and other resource material critically in the context of
Children’s development and pedagogic approach used.
• To develop a repertoire of resources which can be used by the intern later in his/her
teaching – textbooks, children’s literature, activities and games, planning excursions
• To reflect critically on practice by visiting a learning centre.

School Experience Details during Internship I:

• During the school-internship the student teacher is expected to observe classroom


teaching of mentors/ peers, to get insights into student behavior, instructional practices,
student learning, learning environments and classroom management.

• The student-teacher is expected to critically reflect and discuss these practices and
engage in activities like maintenance of records and registers, preparation of lesson and

professionalization of teaching practice.

• The other component of school-based activities to be carried out during internship is


delivering the lessons/units of pedagogic courses in the first and second year as
specified.

• The activities undertaken during the internship period will be presented in e-Portfolios
and Reflective Journals. The student-teachers are expected to record their experiences
,observations and conclusions regarding all the activities undertaken.

• The entries of Reflective Journals will be analytical answering ‘what’ is new and
different from their previous understandings, ‘why’ certain observations made by them
with regard to instruction, classroom management, PTAs, etc., are different / same and
‘how’ these observations might lead to a criticism and change in their practice. The
students will be assessed on the basis of entries made in e-Portfolios and Reflective
Journals.

PRACTICAL

Course Title :Reflection on School Experience Credits:2

Course Code:BED252 MM:100

Reflection has many facets. For example, reflecting on work enhances its meaning. Reflecting
on experiences encourages insight and complex learning. We foster our own growth when we
control our learning, so some reflection is best done alone. Reflection is also enhanced,
however, when we ponder our learning with others.
Reflection involves linking a current experience to previous learning(a process called
scaffolding). Reflection also involves drawing forth cognitive and emotional information from
several sources: visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, and tactile. To reflect, we must act upon and
process the information, synthesizing and evaluating the data. In the end, reflecting also means
applying what we've learned to contexts beyond the original situations in which we learned
something.

Valuing Reflection
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.

—Mark Van Doren

Teachers who promote reflective classrooms ensure that students are fully engaged in the
process of making meaning of their experiences. They organize Teaching-Learning so that
students are the producers, not just the consumers, of knowledge. These teachers approach
their role as that of "facilitator of meaning making by inculcating the habit of reflection in
Students.
In the role of facilitator, the teacher acts as an intermediary between the learner and learning,
guiding each student to approach the learning activity in a strategic way. The teacher helps each
student monitor his/her own individual progress, construct meaning from the content learned
and from the process of learning it, and apply the learning to other contexts and settings.
Learning becomes a continual process of engaging the mind that transforms the individual into
a self actualized human being.
Unfortunately, educators don't often ask students to reflect on their learning. Thus, when
students are asked to reflect on an assignment, they are caught in a dilemma: "What am I
supposed to do? How do I 'reflect'? I've already completed this assignment! Why do I have to
think about it anymore?"
In response to our questions, students who are inexperienced with reflection offer simple
answers such as "This was an easy assignment!" or "I really enjoyed doing this assignment." If
we want students to get in the habit of reflecting deeply on their work—and if we want them to

65
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
Sector-16 C, Dwarka, New Delhi
Bachelor of Education

use Habits of Mind such as applying past knowledge to new situations, thinking about thinking
(meta-cognition), and remaining open to continuous learning—we must teach them strategies to
derive rich meaning from their experiences.

Setting the Tone for Reflection


Most classrooms can be categorized in one of two ways: active and a bit noisy, with students
engaged in hands-on work; or teacher oriented, with students paying attention to a presentation
or quietly working on individual tasks. Each of these teaching environments sets a tone and an
expectation. For example, when students work actively in groups, we ask them to use their "six-
inch" voices. When we ask them to attend to the teacher, we also request that they turn their
"eyes front." When they work individually at their desks, we ask them not to bother other
learners.
Teachers must signal a shift in tone when they ask students to reflect on their learning.
Reflective teachers help students understand that the students will now look back rather than
move forward. They will take a break from what they have been doing, step away from their
work, and ask themselves, "What have I (or we) learned from doing this activity?" Some
teachers use music to signal the change in thinking. Others ask for silent thinking before
students write about a lesson, an assignment, or other classroom task.
In the reflective classroom, teachers invite students to make meaning from their experiences
overtly in written and oral form. They take the time to invite students to reflect on their
learning, to compare intended with actual outcomes, to evaluate their metacognitive strategies,
to analyze and draw causal relationships, and to synthesize meanings and apply their learning to
new and novel situations. Students know they will not "fail" or make a "mistake," as those
terms are generally defined. Instead, reflective students know they can produce personal insight
and learn from all their experiences.

The following Strategies would guide student - teachers along with their faculty mentors
in engaging in reflection on their School Experience during all the three previous
semesters too.( Records of the engagements in activities to be recorded in a Reflective
Journal)

Guiding Student Reflection


To be reflective means to mentally wander through where we have been and to try to make
some sense out of it. Most classrooms are oriented more to the present and the future than to the
past. Such an orientation means that students (and teachers) find it easier to discard what has
happened and to move on without taking stock of the seemingly isolated experiences of the
past.

66
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
Sector-16 C, Dwarka, New Delhi
Bachelor of Education

Course Content:
Teachers use many strategies to guide students through a period of reflection. We offer several
here: discussions, interviews, questioning, and logs and journals.

• Discussions
Sometimes, encouraging reflection is as simple as inviting students to think about their
thinking. Students realize meaning making is an important goal when reflection becomes the
topic of discussion. For example, conduct discussions about students' problem-solving
processes. Invite students to share their meta-cognition, reveal their intentions, detail their
strategies for solving a problem, describe their mental maps for monitoring their problem-
solving process, and reflect on the strategy to determine its adequacy. During these kinds of
rich discussions, students learn how to listen to and explore the implications of each other's
metacognitive strategies. The kind of listening required during such discussions also builds the
Habits of Mind related to empathy, flexibility, and persistence.
• Interviews
Interviews are another way to lead students to share reflections about their learning and their
growth in the Habits of Mind. A teacher can interview a student, or students can interview
classmates. Set aside time at the end of a learning sequence—a lesson, a unit, a school day, or a
school year—to question each other about what has been learned. Guide students to look for
ways they can apply their learning to future settings. Interviews also provide teachers and
students with opportunities to model and practice a variety of habits: listening with
understanding and empathy, thinking and communicating with clarity and precision, and
questioning and posing problems.

• Questioning
Well-designed questions—supported by a classroom atmosphere grounded in trust—will invite
students to reveal their insights, understandings, and applications of their learning and the
Habits of Mind. Here are possible questions to pose with each student:
As you reflect on this semester's work, which of the Habits of Mind were you most aware of in
your own learning?

What meta-cognitive strategies did you use to monitor your performance of the Habits of
Mind?
Which Habit of Mind will you focus on as you begin our next project?
What insights have you gained as a result of employing these Habits of Mind?
As you think about your future, how might these Habits of Mind be used as a guide in your life?

• Logs and Journals


Logs and journals are another tool for student reflection. Periodically ask students to reread
their journals, comparing what they knew at the beginning of a learning sequence with what
they know now. Ask them to select significant learning, envision how they could apply these
67
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
Sector-16 C, Dwarka, New Delhi
Bachelor of Education

learning to future situations, and commit to an action plan to consciously modify their
behaviors.
• Modelling Reflection
Students need to encounter reflective role models. Many teachers find such models in novels in
which the characters take a reflective stance as they consider their actions. A variety of novels
and films may be used to the design the element of reflection as the way to tell a story.
Teacher Educators while engaging the learners in reflection exercises should make sure that the
following three traits are inculcated while the student-teachers are involved in Reflecting on
their school experience:

• Thinking flexibly.
• Managing impulsivity.
• Remaining open to continuous learning.
