ONLINE TEACHING PRACTICE 2020

Teaching practice is a key component of the undergraduate teacher training program. It is during this period that the student teacher gets to translate the skills and theory learnt into reality through actual classroom teaching. Teaching practice is the vital component of teacher education and training because it provides student teachers with an opportunity to learn from experience in the workplace. Due to the Covid pandemic situation the teaching practice was conducted through the various online platforms. Kerala university suggested conducting the 10 days of teaching practice with students by online mode. Our college arranged different schools for us to teaching practice. I had been allotted to the Christ Nagar senior secondary school, Thiruvallam.

The online teaching practice was started on 23 November 2020 . I entered the classes with my G suit ID. The class were started at the 10.00am. I took classes for 6th and 7th standard students.in this week, from Monday to Friday I taught them one lesson for each day. In all classes the students were ready with that science textbook and notebook. Firstly I took the attendance of the class. The students were very active and attentive in the class.  I asked some questions related to the previous knowledge. I introduced the lessons in various ways such as by asking questions, showing images etc. I presented  videos about lessons, those were  very interesting for the students.  but I felt a little bit difficult in presenting the video in sometimes. I presented the main points in the PowerPoint presentation on every class.  I used different teaching aids and gave various activities for the students such as complete the following table. The students were very interested in doing the activities and they completed all of it within the time. I conclude the lesson by summarising the main points or playing videos. At the end of each class I asked review questions and gave a follow up activity for them. in the first day I was very tensed but after taking to classes I became confident. I could manage the class very well. but I want to improve my language efficiency and I should give more concern to the time management. In majority classes I could achieve the specified learning objectives.
