Lesson Planning
Lesson planning is the practice by which a teacher or student-teacher develops an outline for an upcoming lesson before teaching it in class. It includes general objectives, specific objectives, and teaching materials that reflect its topic, such as writing, language arts, science, mathematics, or social studies; specific objectives refer to what the students will be able to accomplish after studying a topic; teaching materials include resources like blackboards white boards charts; the lesson plan also contains checking comprehension questions and evaluation activities for assessment.
Preparation
The DEL ED qualification is necessary to become a teacher in India. Offered by state governments across different states, it lasts two years and includes four semesters. Intended to equip primary teachers for the teaching profession by teaching various learning styles while using technology as pedagogy tools, Jamia Milia University, DY Patil University, and Integral University all provide this course.
To qualify for the DEL ED course, candidates must possess a secondary school qualification with at least 50% marks in aggregate from an approved board, in addition to having valid photo identification. Furthermore, those applying must be under 35 and belong to an underrepresented minority group.
Candidates interested in enrolling can do so online or directly at colleges. Many private colleges provide this course, although some of them may charge higher tuition fees. Private institutions typically conduct admission tests, whereas state governments sometimes utilize merit lists; nonetheless, eligibility criteria remain the same in either scenario.
Assessment
To pass the d el ed exam, students must pass all theory papers as well as practical assessments with both internal and external examiners; at least 40% of each examiner’s marks must be achieved to pass. A final applicable spot will be calculated using all marks scored by both examiners.
Every year, trainees must deliver one mono-grade lesson and one multi-grade lesson on Odia/Urdu, Science, or Hindi subjects; two projects and assignments must also be submitted. Self-instruction printed materials covering theory components for all 11 papers (five foundation papers and six content-based pedagogy papers) developed and provided by the Board are also essential components.
Evaluation
NIOS DEl Ed is designed to equip in-service untrained teachers working at the primary level with all of the skills and competencies required for teaching, as well as teach them how to adapt their methods to modern pedagogy requirements and use IT as a learning tool. This program is available to both privately and publicly funded colleges and is approved by NCTE.
To be eligible to enroll in the course, applicants must possess at least 50% marks in their 10+2 board exam from an established board and be citizens or have permission from their home state for this pursuit. Furthermore, attendance of at least 80% and completion of coursework within its stipulated timeline are essential components.
D El Ed courses can be entered via either an entrance exam or merit list, with admission determined based on either an examination mark scored in 10+2 exams and the percentage of reserved category candidates who applied for them. Courses last for two years and consist of four semesters, covering topics like educational psychology, teaching methodologies, and using Hindi as a second language.
