To identify the learning needs, the following steps were undertaken:National Education Policy review•••••••••••••••Goal & Objectives for Primary Education reviewDiscussions about the expectation of the Oraon community for education of their childrenIdentification of Aims and Objectives for the Oraon children’s primary educationIdentification of attainable terminal competencies for the Oraon children’s primary educationIdentification of subject-based attainable terminal competencies for Oraon primary educationThe team used the following processes for curriculum/material development and training:Curriculum & Material Development Evaluation Training•••Direction for writing Text BooksOrientation for the WritersPreparation of Draft TextsPre-evaluation of Draft TextsEditing of Draft TextsDevelopment of Text Books and FinalizationDevelopment of SupplementaryReading Materials and Teacher’s GuidePrinting of Books/TextsClass Test/Feedback from the Students andTeacherEditing and Finalization and Printing Books/Texts•••Development ofStrategy and Plan forEvaluationRecord Keeping ofEvaluationIdentification of learningdeficiencyMeasures forovercoming learningdeficiency•••••Identification of Subjects/Areas for Teachers’ TrainingDevelopment of TrainingMaterialsPre-service (Basic) TrainingSkill development TrainingMonitoringRefreshers’ TrainingProcess of Developing and Producing MaterialsAt every stage of language development, ASHRAI’s research team involved the Oraon community veryextensively. Likewise, a curriculum development workshop was attended by research team members,material development team members, community representatives and educationists who had expertisein education materials development. Some of the experts had similar experiences working in the past onmaterial development for NGOs and for Governmentprimary school curriculum development initiatives.ASHRAI was extremely pleased that Oraon communitymembers representing all walks of life activelyparticipated in the different stages of curriculumand material development. They were very helpful inproviding relevant information that directly assisted inmaking the primers reflective of the Oraon’s practicallife situation.At the beginning of the workshop, objectives ofthe workshop and tasks to be performed by theparticipants were explained clearly so that theyunderstood the process well and could performtheir noble tasks properly. Through group work© ASHRAI Community leaders participate in acurriculum development workshop[ 35 ]
and discussion in the plenary, age- and grade-appropriate subjects to be taught were finalized. Afterparticipants determined the subjects, like Language (literature), Environment (SS), Arithmetic, Science,Personal Hygiene, etc, they were again divided into groups and asked to decide what topics/issues/learning would be taught under each category. For this they had to consider what competencies thechildren would need to learn after each year of study based on the Primary Curriculum of the NationalCurriculum and Text Book Board (NCTB). They also needed to consider how to integrate their indigenoussocio-cultural tradition and practices in order to meet the community expectations for learning, whichhad already been expressed to them.Examples : Children should learn about traditional heroes. In such a case, the Oraon children would learnabout the Shidu-Kanu, who fought against British rule and sacrificed their lives for the cause of tribalinterest. During the month of February, children would learn about the importance and glory of theirown mother-tongue languages on the occasion of International Language Day.Contents of Curriculum and MaterialsTo develop curriculum and relevant materials fortextbooks, writers were selected from the Oraoncommunity. ASHRAI arranged an orientation on writingfor textbook development, which was facilitated byresearch consultants. , NCTB’s policies for primaryeducation, which strongly emphasizes literacy and lifeskills, were duly considered so that mainstreaming intohigh schools would be easily possible with requisitecompetence. Consultant explains materialdevelopment for primers© ASHRAI© ASHRAI Participnts prepare for a groupassignmentIn order to help the writers create the topics/contents,they were also provided guidelines for preparing ageappropriategraded materials, i.e. i) the number ofwords to be in a sentence, ii) avoidance of conjointletters for making a word, iii) use of simple words,iv) use of words that would be commonly employedin day-to-day life. To prepare exercises for eachcontent/topic, guidelines focused on short questions,filling gaps with appropriate words, word matching,multiple choice, and true or false. For language books,grammatical terms like “tense,” “opposite words,”and “masculine and feminine gender words,” wereincluded in the guidelines, as well. Writers were alsoasked to include moral/ethical materials that wouldact to guide children towards practicing responsibleand safe behaviour. Apart these guidelines, the writerswere given freedom to choose specific topics/contentsso that they could do their best to create engagingmaterial.[ 36 ]
