  1. National Council of Educational Research and Training, New Delhi -110016 India SECONDARY EDUCATION IN INDIA

  2. Secondary Education in India • Nature and scope of secondary education: • Adequate schooling facility • Common school system • Learner centered pedagogy • Reform in assessment and examination • Provision for Guidance and Counselling • Work and Education • Multilingualism

  3. Status of Secondary Education in India

  4. Main Statistics: Status of Secondary Education in India

  5. Status of Secondary Education in India Main Statistics: Contd.

  6. The Knowlege and Curriculum Challenges • The major changes in socio-economic conditions that have taken place in India have brought upon the education system new demands which did not exist half a century ago. • Elementary Education of eight years is not sufficient as-it neither equips a child with the necessary knowledge and skills to face the world of work nor does it empower to deal with the challenges of a globalizing economy. • What career avenues-professional or otherwise –are open to a child after merely 8 years of elementary education?

  7. The Knowledge and Curriculum Challenges • The eligibility conditions of even ordinary certificate or diploma courses (para-medical, technical, or teacher education) mostly require a minimum of class X or XII certificate. By not creating conditions or enabling a child to complete a minimum of 12 years of education, the children are denied opportunities for any career options or meaningful links with the contemporary ‘world of work’. • India has policy of reservation –the policy of Positive Discrimination- for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

  8. The Resource Challenge • Computer and science laboratory wherever available are under utilized • Need to ensure intelligent and cost-effective use of resources • Generating the need for the use and sharing of resources • The Challenge of Decentralisation • Paradigm shift in conceptualizing secondary education in its structural as well as curricular dimensions is needed to make it powerful means of social transformation

  9. Many ICT tools are available to support and enhance teaching and learning. • The ICT use can be invoked in two distinct ways. • Sometimes it is appropriate to give the user’ a ready-made document or file which has been already created and invite them to explore it. – Exploratory Mode • At other times, it may be better for users to create their own from scratch, as they express themselves with contentment by means of a more open application or resource. – Expressive Mode Towards Technological Empowerment

  10. There are two different but related kinds of learning involved in using GeoGebra, which is called instrumental and conceptual. • Instrumental learning is about how to do things in the specific software: how to create points or lines or circles, how to operate with menu items (like ‘rotate’ or ‘construct perpendicular bisector’), etc.. • It reflects the decisions made by the software designer. Learning through GeoGebra (Pedagogy)

  11. In order to be an effective user of GeoGebra, • For example, users may need to find and use the tool to construct a mid-point. • Such learning is not intrinsically mathematical and can be developed in a context in which users are not deliberately extending their mathematical understanding. • Tasks that develop instrumental understanding may involve the creation of images or the use of features such as reflection or animation. Learning through GeoGebra cont..

  12. One striking thing about GeoGebra is that instrumental learning is also frequently conceptual. • Mathematical language of the interface both provides and seeds the preferred vocabulary for subsequent mathematical discussion. • An understanding of some or many of these terms is gained in GeoGebra and the words act as both labels for that experience as well as the commands to make that action occur. • Conceptual learning develops gradually, through deepening experience with both geometry and the GeoGebra.
