Scientific Calendar

 Eterna scientificfastis

Every day is an important day in our life . Some of the days are special as it blends with it unforgettable past memories. A calendar is a system of organizing days. This is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks , months and years. A date is the designation of a single, specific day within such a system. A calendar is also a physical record (often paper) of such a system. A calendar can also mean a list of planned events.The primary practical use of a calendar is to identify days ;to be informed about or to agree on a future event to record an event that has happened . In schools calendar is to know specific events to students and teachers. This allows teachers to plan their classroom activities accordingly. Scientific calendars are designed to know the specific science related events to people especially for science students.

 As a part of practicum of semester 2 B.Ed  the students of department of natural science decided to create a scientific calendar. The department head Dr. Sivapriya K S divided 12 months to 12 students of the class. Each students prepared the list and history of scientifically important days of the months they are assigned and presented in their own creative and innovative way. After all we decided to collide all the months and create a scientific calendar which will be helpful for school students and students in science stream. But during this pandemic it is difficult to distribute the hard copy of this  calendar schools and reach to students. Thus we planned to create it in the digital platform. With the help support of our teacher  we created a digital scientific calendar. Gave the name
 '  Eterna scientificfastis'  which means Eterna - everlasting , eternal   scientificfastis - scientific calendar 
As the instruction of the college Principal and the teaching faculties we decided to launch it on November 10 -International Science day as a part of celebration. 
Our Scientific calendar was dedicated to  ALL LOVELY LITTLE BUDS .....

 Topic : Child Abuse

This is a short video for making our children aware about child abuse. 

Childhood is the primary stage of life. It knows no worry or anxiety, no good or evil. It is the period of both ignorance and innocence. The heart of a child is as pure as a crystal and it is also said that “God lives in a child”.

Child abuse is a crime which is committed by individuals who are frustrated by their own lives. Abusing a child is as serious crime as killing a person because a child is soft by nature and any abuse that he or she goes through in early stages of life, leaves a lasting imprint on its mind for always.

But some people without understanding the importance of the fact that a child is God’s gift, abuse them to an extent that their future is ruined forever. However if they are lucky enough, they are guided by a mentor in the future who changes their view of the world explaining the significance of life and expliaining the fact that all individuals are not the same.

The moment his memory flashes of the abuses that he or she has faced in their lifetime, however happy that moment might be, the child’s heart is filled with sadness.

However hard the child tries to forget or erase such memories all he or she ends up in is being frustrated. Some of the victims of child abuse lose their confidence forever and lead their lives as introverts.

Child abuse occurs in various forms. In extreme cases a girl child is found raped, some children are beaten up by their parents and at times school teachers. As a matter of fact, child labour is also a form of continuous child abuse.

A child’s motto of life is “eat, drink and be merry”. And when the child is abused, it is easy to understand what kind of memories he or she will develop.

EDU 301.3 - WORKSHOP ON MUSIC

Music is something that we all enjoy in the course of our lives. It is the sound that is brought together through a harmony of instruments and singing voices. It is something that is part of us ever since we enter this world. Our mothers, fathers and grandparents sing us lullabies so that we can sleep peacefully. In the mornings, we listen to the birds chirping and the leaves of plants and trees rustling, and even this is like music to our ears. Music is everywhere, and all you have to do is open up your ears to hear it.

Music is a wonderful tool in education. Music has an important aspect of providing children with a well-rounded education. When allowed to work in harmony with other subjects and areas of study, music helps children grow in self-esteem, build essential skills and prepare for bright futures.Various studies have found that engagement with music can lead to an improvement in brain development in children. Music is important in that it helps with math and science. 

Instructors who choose to integrate music into their courses have several options. From least to most radical, these include posting song links for students to explore on their own time, preceding class with a prerecorded song (or inserting it into a mid-lab break), performing and discussing a song during class, and assigning students the task of writing and performing songs. The idea that music might enhance learning in advanced science courses, while unproven, is plausible, because there are several overlapping mechanisms through which songs could work, at least in theory. Music in learning can Enhancement of Recall ,Reduction of Stress ,Increased Enjoyment ,In-Depth Exploration of Content etc. Music may not become part of every maths or science teacher’s toolkit anytime soon, its potential applications are intriguing. 

A workshop on music was conducted on November 3 Tuesday as a part of 3rd semester  B.Ed curriculum . The full day programme was handled by Dr. Bhuvanendran Nair. Forenoon section was a discussion including the importance of music in education and how to implement music to different subjects as a teacher.   In the afternoon section a competition was conducted . 50 students in the class was divided into 11 groups. Each group prepared a portion of their optional subject of class 8,9, 10 in the form of music like Vanchipattu, Thullal pattu , Naadan pattu , etc . It was presented in group wise and  teachers evaluated the presentation. Each groups got points according to their preparation and presentation. At 4 pm the program dispersed .  

Many studies from eld of education systems, neurophysiology and other sciences show to

us that music has big inuence on human beings, especially on children and their cognitive and

psychophysical development.

Teachers Day celebration 2020

SEPTEMBER 5 - TEACHER'S DAY

Teachers' Day is celebrated every year on the 5th of September, which also marks the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was an Indian philosopher and the second President of India. Every year to celebrate this occasion, students perform songs and plays, acknowledging the contribution of their teachers. Students also show their affection to their favourite teachers in the form of cards, speeches and chocolates.

As we all know, this year we celebrate Teacher's Day online. Let me take this opportunity to thank all our teachers, who have been working very hard to teach us online. Taking education to the next level, this year may have given us tough times, but our teachers have surely been a ray of hope. From guiding us to motivating us, this year our respect for teachers worldwide has grown immensely. We know it has been challenging for each one of us, but teachers have been our lockdown mentors. They have supported us throughout and helped us cope with online classes and tests.
BMM II Training College celebrated TEACHER'S DAY 'Guru Vandanam ' virtually through google meet platform. The program started at 9.30 onwards. Dr. Mathew T Jacob Retd Professor of our college inaugurated the program.    
A video dedicated to all respectful teachers of our college was also published in our college YouTube channel as a part of this celebration .

National Education Policy 2020

The Union Cabinet has decided to grant its approval to the National Education Policy 2020 on July 29, and the new policy will bring about new changes in the employment and education scenario in the country. As the NEP gets its approval, India is set to get a new educational policy after nearly 34 years.

There are a lot of changes that are to be implemented under the NEP 2020. The National Education Policy 2020 has been approved by the Union Cabinet and the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) will now be renamed as the Ministry of Education..

Reforms announced in NEP 2020 are, 

• The new rules under NEP 2020 have suggested the extension of the age group of the Right to Education to policy. Till now, the policy is only valid up to the age of 14. Under NEP, this is to be extended to the age of 18.
• The new NEP aims at the universalization of pre-primary education and provides foundational literacy to all by 2025.
• "The draft NEP is based on the foundational pillars access, affordability, equity, quality, and accountability," states the draft released today. The sentiment of the NEP is supposed to revolve around this statement.
• Instead of following the current 10+2 schooling system, the new NEP will most likely follow a 5+3+3+4 schooling model. Students in the age group of 3-8 years will be part of the foundation stage, 8-11 age group for preparatory schooling, 11-14 years for middle school and 14-18 for secondary level.
• The students will have more flexibility when it comes to choosing subjects across various streams such as arts, commerce and science under the National Education Policy 2020.
• As per the new NEP, students will be learning multiple languages in the foundation stage of their schooling since students have a higher learning aptitude in the early stages of life. The school will teach students a minimum of three languages in their curriculum.
• The NEP also aims to create a new highest regulating body, the Rashtriya Shiksha Aayog or National Education Commission that would be headed by the Prime Minister of India. 

The draft of the NEP by a panel headed by former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief Kasturirangan and submitted to the Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal when he took charge last year. The new NEP replaces the one formulated in 1986.

The policy aims to enable an individual to study one or more specialized areas of interest at a deep level, and also develop character, scientific temper, creativity, the spirit of service, and 21st-century capabilities across a range of disciplines including sciences, social sciences, arts, humanities, among others.

E- content development workshop

Information technology and the Internet are major drivers of research, innovation, growth and social change. The growth in Internet has brought changes in all walks of life including the education. .E-content includes all kinds of content created and. delivered through various electronic media... E-content requires huge amounts of creativity both at 'information' level as well as the 'technology' level.

Quality of teaching and students' learning are determined by the teachers who teach them. Well trained teachers with required knowledge, skills and commitment can develop scientific and critical thinking, promote tolerance, and develop cultural and social values in them. Innovative technologies will make it possible to achieve these by providing new ways to teachers. But these new technologies are placing more demands on teachers to learn how to use them in their teaching and learning processes. This great transformation is posing challenges to teachers and teacher educators in using technologies in creative and productive ways. Hence, we as teachers have to meet these new challenges by continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills to discharge our duties effectively.

 As the part of 3rd semester B. Ed syllabus an E- content development workshop was conducted on 15 July 2020 at 10 am.  Because of the bad conditions of Covid 19 the workshop was conducted as a webinar. The resource person for the workshop was Sri. Naushad A . (Asst.  Prof.  KUCTE,  kulakada).  Sri.  Riju John (Asst. Prof.  BMM II TC,  Kottarakara ) was the  convenor of the program.  Workshop was very useful and informative. At the present condition the E- content and online classes has more relevance.  Through this workshop we got a good idea on  E content development,  its relevance,  how to make an e content ,  and its application on teaching learning process. The resource person familiarised different  websites and applications to prepare E content.. 

Break The Chain - 3

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown an unprecedented challenge for mental health across the country. The possibility of getting infected with COVID-19, an illness with no clear defined treatment protocols and uncertain outcomes has shaken the world. With the illness now spreading in different parts of the country, the existing health care systems are really stretched. As the battle becomes long-drawn, the health care workers (HCWs) in the frontline have become particularly vulnerable to mental stress. Worries about risk of infection to self and their families, adequacy of protection, long working hours, being in quarantine/isolation, and separation from families can lead to severe psychological distress among health professionals. If not effectively recognised and treated, such stress can transform into more persistent illness, even leading suicidal thoughts and feelings. Psychological difficulties have been consistently linked to reduced competency at work and the stress faced at work can worsen mental distress.

Studies on mental health interventions in the work place have reported best effectiveness for mental health promotion and prevention strategies. Work places are an optimal setting to create a culture of fostering mental health. Organisations have established communication structures, policies and support networks which can be utilised to improve mental health awareness.
