“Art Education plays an important role in imparting
regular curriculum of day to day teaching in school”. Briefly explain the
statement by selecting one activity each from visual and performing arts.
Answer:-Art Education plays an
important role in imparting regular curriculum of day to day teaching in
school.Sight is an important part of the visual art curriculum. Such a
sensorial experience lasts longer as more than one sense organs are involved in
learning. Students need encouragement to observe details in their surroundings
and explore the relationships between objects and their environment. Activity:
Topic: “Bridges/ Flyovers”
1. Introductory Activities :- A)Draw a bridge
/ flyover. Or observe the pictures of bridgeB)Are there any elements of art in
them? C)Do you observe any patterns in the bridge design? D)Let us try to find
the characteristic features of our bridges and flyovers: their shape, pattern,
the material used, and their size. E)Compare the bridges and flyovers with
those brought or made by your friends? Are all of you using the same material?
Shape? Patterns? Bridges tend to be symmetrical. Have students explore the
meanings of symmetrical and asymmetrical
2. Main Activities Plan activities in
which students explore the relationship between shape and the structural
strength. Let them try out making their own bridge using a variety of
materials: clay/ paper/ card board / Thermocol / sticks / wood / stones / wires
/ straws etc. Let them draw and discuss and represent their plan on a sheet of
paper. Example to understand the structural strength through the understanding
of the shape:-
1.First,take a plane card paper and put it on
two blocks and try to put some coins on the bridge.The paper cannot hold just a
few and will collapse.
2. Second,now fold the two edges as to
make two walls on the sides.Try putting coins on it now. A lot more coins can
be put without collapsing.
3. Third,now make the inner fold into
a zigzag pattern of paper. It is beautiful to see how many more coins can be
added to the bridge now. The performing arts in education provides students
with the opportunity to engage the mind, the body and emotions into a
collaborative expression of all that it means to be human. Through study and
performance, students explore and present great themes and ideas. Activity:
Phone Call Objective: Here students will describe how sound travels through a
solid. Materials:String, at least 200 cm. (two yards) long; nail (to make
hole); paper cups; scissors; paper clips (or washers) Procedures
1.First make a small hole in the
bottom of two paper cups. 2. Second,thread the string through the holes; tie
each end to a washer so the string won’t slip through. 3.Third,have a friend
hold one cup; you hold the other. Gently pull the string until it’s tight. Take
turns talking into the cup and listening. Be sure that you keep the string
taut. Why do you think these phones work? 4. Fourth,work with another pair of
students and use two phone sets. Cross the lines by looping one over the other.
Describe to your partner what you think is happening and why. Then, report to
the class. 5. Last,How is the sound traveling?

- Explain the concept of work
education in the light of purposeful and meaningful physical work.
Answer:-The concept of work education
in the light of purposeful and meaningful physical work is very interesting. In
every country, the main objective of education is to develop such educational
system which provides opportunities to develop talents and skills which are
needed throughout their life, to its citizens. It is compulsory to determine
that physical work should be associated with education i.e. work education
should be made an inseparable part of education. Work education is considered
purposeful and meaningful physical work, which is organized as the inherent
part of educational process. It is deemed as the production of meaningful
material and community service, in which the children share the experience of
contentment and pleasure. Work education emphasizes on including knowledge,
understanding, and practical skills in educational activities. The concept of
work education can be understood better through the following factors• It
creates coordination in hand and brain. • Socially useful physical work is
inherent in educational activities. • It is an very essential and significant
factor in learning processes. • It is visible in the form of useful services
and productive work for community. • It is associated as an important factor
with all the aspects of education in multilevel education system. • It is based
on the principle of learning by doing. Inherent activities in work education– •
Develops skills like problem solving, critical thinking and decision making. •
Invites partnership of teachers teaching all the subjects. • Is based on needs,
interests and capabilities of students. • Develops abilities of students according
to different stages of education. • Helps in the development of personality. •
Develop and enhances professional readiness and efficiency in production. •
Provides opportunity for interaction with different, tools, techniques,
methods, materials and objects. • Provides opportunities for experiencing
conditions related to community services. • Introduces to the world of work.
Education can not be separated from physical work for cultural reawakening.
Every student should participate in somprogrammes of service to the mankind by
coming out of the sphere of his particular community. Work should be taken as a
medium of education because experiences are the windows of our brain.” Work has
educational importance in the education of all the children who might belong to
any social, economic or cultural back ground. The education system in which
work and knowledge try to adopt separate path, can never be connected with the
society, but it widens the gap between society and educational institutes.
Probably this is the main factor which deprives children of necessary life
skills due to lack of connection in work and education. By placing physical
work and productive work on a high pedestal in school curriculum means making
education meaningful, logical and useful for life. Now we can summed up that
work education is a purposeful, meaningful activity with physical work which is
included in all the stages of school curriculum in an organized and systematic
way and is visible as product or social service.

Explain
the following statement “Timing and Grouping of students plays a vital role in
the effective implementation of Work Education activity.”
Answer:-Timing and Grouping of
students plays a very important and vital role in the effective implementation
of Work Education activity. A perfect group and essential time allocation is
the key for the successful completion of work education activity.Students
experience joy when they give a shape to their ideas and imagination and when
they work in groups– • There is a positive enhancement of their feelings of joy
through this learning process. • They develop team spirit of the team. • They
display the skill of teaching learning to one another. • Qualities like co-operation
and leadership develop spontaneously. The nature of majority of activities in
work education is such that they give better results if done in groups.
Qualities related to aptitude,values and skills and the other social values
like sensitivity towards one other and environment, empathy, co-operation,
understanding interdependence, love for nature, appreciation for beauty,
dignity of labour, regularity etc. blossom more on working in groups. An
environment of common culture is developed by working in groups. The above
mentioned positive aspects can only be promoted when the grouping of the
learners is done in a systematic way.Timing plays a vital role in effecting
implementation of work education activity. Whatever the activity a teacher
decides to organize must have a proper timing so that it won’t hinder the usual
schedule of school or any other event. Also with proper timing students will
get chance to understand the activity and the ways to implement it, like after
April, there is summer vacation in May and June, you can plan projects for the
students about the tasks to be assigned to them. A number of activities can he
given to the students as home assignment like collection of seeds, herbarium,
making a whistle with mango seed, make drink with mango, know the variety of
mangoes, write dairy for any ten days collect broken things. Time for each
activity can be allocated on the basis of nature, its objectives and the
expected results. It is not necessary that all the stages of each activity may be
performed in the school. There may be some activities which may begin with the
demonstration by teacherand then may experience in their houses or community as
per their convenience. Some important Point of view regarding TIME is:- It’s
main important is to calculate which activity is to be done in which period of
the year/session. Fixing of this point will depend on the nature of activity
and need of school and community. You can plan a project in the capacity of
work education teacher that in a particular month of the session, what should
be extra activities and which of those can became a part of the programme of
work education.
