Teaching practice phase I week 4

 Teaching Practice Phase I – Week 4 (August 4–8, 2025)




Introduction

As part of our B.Ed. curriculum, we continued our first phase of teaching practice at Government Higher Secondary School, Koickal, Kollam, during the week from August 4 to August 8, 2025. This week provided us with more classroom teaching experiences and also included the observation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day on August 6. The activities of the week helped us to improve our teaching performance and understand how to integrate value-based education into school events.

Weekly Activities and Observations

Regular Teaching

Throughout the week, we conducted our regular classes as per the timetable provided by our mentor teachers. Each trainee handled the concerned topics in their respective subjects. Lesson plans were prepared and implemented effectively, and the mentor teachers offered valuable feedback to enhance our instructional skills.

The students were cooperative and responsive, which made the teaching-learning process more engaging. We also focused on improving our classroom interaction, questioning techniques, and use of teaching aids to make our lessons more effective.


Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day – August 6, 2025

On August 6, 2025, the school observed Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day to commemorate the victims of the atomic bombings during World War II. The event served as a reminder of the importance of peace, harmony, and humanity in the modern world.

As part of the observance, students prepared paper cranes, a universal symbol of peace. The cranes were displayed in classrooms and corridors, spreading the message of “No More War.” A short assembly was also conducted where teachers and students spoke about the significance of the day and the need to promote peace in the world.

Participating in the event helped us understand the importance of value-based education and how schools play a crucial role in shaping socially responsible citizens.


Reflection

The week from August 4 to August 8, 2025, was both productive and insightful. Through regular teaching, we gained more confidence in classroom management and lesson execution. Observing and participating in Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day reminded us of the importance of integrating moral and emotional learning with academics.

This week strengthened our understanding of how co-curricular activities can effectively support the holistic development of students. Overall, the experience contributed significantly to our growth as future educators committed to promoting peace and learning in society.
