    ROMANCING THE RAIL

  1. A couple of weeks ago, while detailing the many ways in which coping with the bleak economy can actually better our lives, I touched upon the romance of train travel and suggested that we should do well to introduce our children to its charms.  I have to confess that I was surprised by the kind of response this triggered from readers with stories to tell of their own rail adventures.
  2. Browsing through them reminded me yet again why trains have such a special place in our lives.  Well, perhaps not in the lives of a generation brought up on the dubious pleasures of cheap air travel.
  3. I still vividly recall every detail of my first such excursion, taking a train from Sealdah station in Calcutta to visit my aunt’s tea garden in Assam.  I settled down at my window seat and even before the train had pulled out, I was burrowing deep into the pleasures of Indian mythology.
  4. But as the scene outside grew more rustic, even picturesque, my attention wandered to the marvelous moving display outside my window.  There were gentle rolling fields, green and lush, more palm trees than I could count and an endless expanse of bright blue sky.
  5. Just then, a man entered my peripheral vision.  Scythe in hand, he was intently cutting down some tall grass in the fields.  “Oh look,” I cried out to my mother, “It’s a farmer, a real-life farmer!”  A city - bred child, I hadn’t realized until then that farmers actually had an independent existence outside of my story books.
  6. That wasn’t the only discovery I made in the course of that first train journey or the many others to follow.  Gazing out of the train window as I travelled across the country, I was introduced to a new India that was far removed from the bland boundaries of my middle-class urban existence.  And I like to believe today that this made me more aware of the complexities of the society that we live in.

CBSE Class XII : How To Learn Physics

Every student has a different learning style and a preferred way of learning. Try to understand your own learning style.

  • If you can learn by reading or hearing, books or lectures will be very useful.
  • If you learn by discussing, working with fellow students will be helpful to you.
  • If solving problems is difficult for you, spend more time learning how to solve problems. Remember, it is necessary as well as important to understand and develop good study habits.

Ask the following question from yourself:

  • Am I comfortable with basic concepts of the subject learnt in lower classes ? If not, spend sometime in understanding these concepts. Do not hesitate asking your teachers or friends.
  • Am I familiar with fundamental mathematical concepts from arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry ? If not, learn these concepts and formulae through practice.
  • Do I understand the subject better if I read the book before the lecture ? One may learn better by skimming the textbook in advance, going to the class and then studying the learning material in detail.
  • Do I study every day and regularly and devote adequate time for studying Physics ? If not, make it a habit to devote adequate time for self-learning and revision.
  • Am I an active learner ? Do I ask questions and participate in class discussions? Remaining mentally active and alert in the class helps in great deal.

(Event) Recommendations of the 16th National CBSE Sahodaya Conference

CBSE Logo

Recommendations of the 16th National CBSE Sahodaya Conference

Hosted – Gurgaon Sahodaya School Cluster
09 to 11 December 2009

  1. The Examination Reforms by the CBSE are the need of the hour. The implementation needs effective partnership between Schools and the Board, and Sahodayas can play a lead role.
  2. The intervention of CCE and curricular delivery in turn will lead to greater flexibility, inclusion and innovation across disciplines thus leading to integration.
  3. CCE needs to be reinforced and strengthened in its implementation in terms of material support, transaction, teacher empowerment and assessment strategies.
  4. Teacher capacity needs to be built into pedagogy and transaction strategies as well as framing good test items and setting question papers. Gradually the Board can withdraw from Summative Assessment.
  5. The Monitoring and Mentoring model (M & M) needs to be developed to ensure sustainability of CCE. This can be leveraged through Sahodaya School Clusters, through Regional Hubs and Training Units of CBSE Teacher Training Centers as recommended by the 15th Sahodaya Annual Conference held at Bhopal in 2008.
  6. CCE needs to be institutionalized and the CCE Logo, CCE Slogan and CCE Song be made a part of every publication of the Board.
  7. PPP (Public Private Partnerships) in CCE in the context of material, advocacy, intensive training and assessment need to be explored in multiple ways through multiple modes.
  8. Academic Audit system to be strengthened as part of the Accreditation process and also the pre-affiliation and affiliation procedures.
  9. Criteria for accreditation should include quality mechanisms to ensure delivery of soft skills.
  10. CCE to be taken further to classes XI and XII in a gradual fashion after it has evolved incorporating the feedback and modifications on the way.
  11. Sahodayas through SSCs may initiate collaborative efforts to sensitise the parents and enable them to appreciate the significance of the new scheme, share and exchange their strategies and success stories.
  12. The CBSE and Sahodayas may immediately initiate the process of developing support materials in Formative Assessment in different subject for classes IX and X separately and make it available to all affiliated schools at the earliest possible.
  13. Sharing of best practices in the areas of formative assessment and other aspects of CCE need to be taken up by Sahodayas.
  14. ICT enabled ways of learning and assessment need to be embedded in CCE both in the processes of learning as well as assessment and record keeping.

Resolution of the 16th National CBSE Sahodaya Conference
Hosted – Gurgaon Sahodaya School Cluster

The Examination Reforms by the CBSE are timely and apt. For successful implementation, the introduction of the CCE Scheme by CBSE needs to be strengthened, institutionalized and carried forward into the implementation stage by ensuring sustainable teacher empowerment and capacity building in designing tasks for learning, framing good test items and developing appropriate strategies for documentation and assessment of co-scholastic domains. Schools need to look beyond boundaries and teachers go beyond textbooks to create a learning environment conducive to real education. Sahodaya need to go beyond their own clusters and mentor other schools in a participative and collaborative mode.

(Tips) Understanding & Managing Examination Stress : Part - 2

Exam Stress

UNDERSTANDING & MANAGING EXAMINATION STRESS : PART - 2

«« Read Part- 1 »»

Study tips

Following tips can be useful and help to study effectively.

  1. Do not engage in sport or tire yourself before you sit either for a test or a study period. You should be relaxed before you engage in the task which requires thinking, concentration etc.

  2. Ensure that you are not hungry, sleepy, tired, thirsty and don’t need to go to the toilet before you sit to study or give a test. This will make sure that there are no unnecessary interruptions.

  3. If you experience that while studying your mind is occupied by various thoughts, you can write whatever comes to your mind before you actually sit for study. This will help you to clear your mind of the thoughts and thus increase concentration. You may tear off the page after you have released the thoughts.

  4. Eat brain foods before you study or when you take a break during your study. Bananas, dry fruits, chocolates (in moderation) helps the brain to stay awake.

  5. In the break time, you can listen to music which relaxes your mind and body. In music stores, CDs of relaxation music are available.

  6. Graphic organizers are semantic maps which offer a visual representation of ideas. When students organize and design these maps, they apply important analytical skills as they think about how ideas are inter-related.

Time management

Managing your time effectively is an important part of studying. One common mistake is to try to create an overly restrictive schedule which doesn't work, and then feel very guilty that it doesn't work. Telling yourself that scheduling just doesn't work for you is another common mistake.

The following list will guide you through time management.

Schedule - Have a regular study time and place each day - This helps put you in study mode. It's what Pavlov did with his dogs. ("Good doggy. Now study! Studyyy...")

Prioritize - Make a list of what you have to do and list it in order of importance. Schedule the important stuff first.

Plan your sessions - Do the difficult stuff first. That way, by the time you can barely add 1 to 1, that's all you have left to do.

Prepare - Get everything you'll need together BEFORE you start studying.

Take breaks - Don't study longer than 50 minutes at a stretch. Use the other ten for a run around the block, or eat a snack. Hmm... Maybe run around the block AFTER the snack. Taking a 5-minute hot shower is another excellent solution.

Avoid getting stuck - If you can't figure something out, skip it, and get help later. Skipping everything is not allowed.

Divide and conquer - Break your projects up into smaller bits, and complete those bits one by one.

Set Milestones – Setting milestones help to manage the time and task better. You can also set rewards for reaching those milestones.

Reward yourself - The reward can be small, like treating yourself to some ice cream, or larger, like buying that new outfit you've had your eye on. Rewards also don't have to cost money, like going to play some basketball with some friends at the park. Enjoy yourself when you pass a milestone, stick to your reward plans to make them more worth reaching.

Use your time wisely - Use the days for tough activities like studying, and evenings for easier stuff like reviewing. On second thought, better schedule the latter during the day as well.

Review regularly – Regular reviewing benefits taking stock of the work done. We have said this before. It's important. Better read it again.

Say "No!" to distractions
