District Institutes of Education and Training: A Comparative Study in Three Indian States limited in practice. Student teachers do not believe that they will anyway put into practice what they have learned, and feel they most likely to imitate the models of their own teachers regardless of their training: S1 It does not happen in the way we are trained here, or the way we teach in practice teaching, it does not happen that way in the field. The way they are giving us training in different skills nobody uses them there. They teach their own way. NN Why? S4 They get conditioned like other teachers and… S2 When they go there they think – we will get the salary anyhow. S3 The main problem is the mentality. Our teachers used to teach us in one way. For twelve years, we watched our teachers teach us in the old method. Sometimes teaching, sometimes not - then we will learn more from those twelve years than these two years of our training. We have been conditioned like that. Whether we want to or not we will just use that (RAJ/UDR/1st yr sts). Here we are forced to prepare a lesson plan. In the classroom we cannot go beyond the lesson plan. I do not feel that lesson plan preparation is feasible in practice (MP/I/ 2nd yr st 26.12.99). Box 4.4: Learning to be a teacher: practice lesson by a second year trainee to year 6 students, SNT 5.9.00 T today we have to learn the lesson of ‘Talwar no varasdar’. [He writes the lesson name and date on the blackboard: Subject: Gujarati; Sub-subject: Talwar no varasdaar] There are 20 students. 8 boys and 12 girls. They take out their textbooks. T I am reading a poem. You listen. It is a long poem but we will read it. 3:16 He opens and reads out the whole poem. Children are looking at the book, some are looking around. 3 boys do not have textbooks so they are sharing with the neighbour. The poem was quite long. [It is in a Kathiawadi dialect]. He reads out the whole poem. After this…. T what do you mean by sits and watches? T [He answers himself ] it means watching while resting. He begins to read every line again and explain the meaning of the words. T ‘mara bapu ne be-be kuvaria’ means two brothers. ‘be-be ne padia bhag’ means dividing between two brothers. He explains all the sentences, giving synonyms of difficult words and writing them the board. 3:23 Few students are listening to him or paying attention to what he is saying. Some are are writing synonyms from the textbooks, some are talking, some are turning DFID 81
District Institutes of Education and Training: A Comparative Study in Three Indian States Box 4.4: Learning to be a teacher: practice lesson by a second year trainee to year 6 students, SNT 5.9.00 continued the pages of textbook and looking at it. One girl puts something in her bag. Boys talk in the groups and again fall silent, listen to a few words, again start talking. Meanwhile the trainee continues to read and explain the story to them. 3:32 students are writing synonyms in their slates and notebooks. T now I will ask you questions. He starts asking questions… T Where does Viraji hang his sword? Ans: on his waist. (7 students finger up that they know the answer) T how many sons has Bapu? Ans: 2 (11 students) T what does elder brother ask for from his father? Ans: land (5) T what does the younger brother ask for from his father? Ans: sword When elder brothers take rest in the palace what does the younger brother do? Girl answers: he goes for battle. T goes for battle? Girl: no. goes for hunting. T where does he sleep? Ans: in mountains. T at that time where does elder brother sleep? Ans: in the palace. T yes, on red carpets. 3:37 What did the younger brother do when their enemies surrounded them? Ans: (he answers himself) the elder hides himself while younger brother fights with them. T what is ‘kasumbo’? Girl it is a drug. 3:41 it is over. The trainee is picking up his things. Another student is preparing to give his lesson. [There was no feedback from the DIET staff member, who arrived after the trainee had begun] Students seem to expect to use the lowest common denominator of the training they have learned, since their training has not really moved them on from a very restricted, and transmission-dominated, view of teaching: NP When you go to school, which of the skills do you think you would be using? S4 Madam, that would depend on the topic one would be teaching. 82 DFID
