<strong>District</strong> <strong>Institutes</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Training</strong>: A Comparative Study in Three Indian States<br />

There are very poor criteria for evaluating this practice teaching. That is<br />

why last year a few <strong>of</strong> us lecturers made new criteria for evaluation. We have<br />

prepared… but no one uses it. We now evaluate by the new criteria but<br />

some are still not using it. No one….they don’t use it. I tell you…<br />

this evaluation is done very poorly. It is not going to help them (GUJ/SNT<br />

TT03 6.9.00).<br />

In defending why the new evaluation procedures were only half-heartedly adhered<br />

to by staff, he <strong>of</strong>fered a view that was heard many times during this research<br />

project with respect to student teachers’ attitudes:<br />

Frankly speaking I know what these students do in practice teaching. It is<br />

useless for them. I still have doubts about the Gujarati practice teaching<br />

lesson. Have you seen how these students give Gujarati practice teaching? If<br />

I had been the supervisor, I would have not have given them marks. They don’t<br />

take Gujarati lessons seriously. They don’t know what to teach. If it was up<br />

to me, I would never pass any <strong>of</strong> these PTC students. They don’t deserve<br />

to become teachers. They don’t have aspirations <strong>of</strong> becoming teachers. This<br />

year I did a survey. I asked my PST students why they had come here. Out<br />

<strong>of</strong> 40 students, 25 said because our parents have sent us. A few think that after<br />

doing this we will soon get a job. Now why do parents want to send them<br />

for PTC? Because if a boy has his PTC he will get PTC girl soon. Now if<br />

you come here for such reasons, how can you become a good teacher?<br />

You don’t have abilities, aspirations <strong>and</strong> aptitude for becoming a teacher<br />

(GUJ/SNT TT03 6.9.00).<br />
