Supervisor/Mentor. Personal Contact sessions include 15 tutoring sessions in a year at study centres. The
number of hours expected to be utilized in these sessions has been envisaged as follows:
Workshop based activities (one each for 12 days in a year) 8 Credits 240 hours
Pre workshop Activity 52 hours
Workshop Activity (12 days x 7 hrs x 2 yrs) 168 hours
Post workshop Activity 20 hours
The Personal Contact Programme (PCP) in Open and Distance Education System is specially meant
for supporting and facilitating distant learners to solve their problems which they face during their
self-study. Through the PCP they get an opportunity to interact with tutors/ resource person as well
as the peer group. Trainees will appreciate that the use of the word contact rather than teaching
itself makes a categorical distinction between the traditional classroom teaching and the PCP. In fact,
this is a programme where they all come together to share their learning experiences, find solutions
to academic problems and remove the barriers in their learning activities. Face-to-face interaction
takes place both in and outside the classroom. The Resource Persons engaged in the programme are
identified from the faculty of DIETs and PTTIs who are quite experienced people from whom
trainees can avail effective guidance.
Hence, depending upon the need of the individual learners, the PCP could provide a forum to interact
with tutor and peers for personalised care and problem solving. Depending upon the course, these are
made compulsory for attending and these are always a great help to the learners. Therefore, it
becomes very important, first, to understand the objectives of PCP in order to make the programme
effective. PCP tutorials are spread over Sundays and other holidays or at such convenient times when
most of them will be able to draw benefit by attending the sessions.
11
The objectives of PCP are to enable the trainees to :
get opportunities to interact with Resource Persons/tutors and fellow professionals and thus, to
overcome the feeling of isolation; thus help in getting better perspective about the role of a teacher
deal with academic problems and opportunities to clarify doubts
seek tutors guidance in learning and completing assignments;
develop confidence and get motivated for self-study;
use the library and ICT resource available at the study centre to facilitate your learning.
get feedback on your progress individually as well as in groups
prepare well for term end examinations.
12
11.3 Main components of PCP
The PCP/tutoring sessions start from the second month of commencement of the course till the tenth
month before the term-end examination mostly on Sundays and other holidays. It is having two
distinct components:
a) Pre-tutoring situations b) Tutorial Sessions

authentication of the head of the school.
Assessment
Since the school based activities constitute one of the essential components of the programme having a
weightage of four credits, their evaluation becomes important. It is, therefore, impressed upon the
mentor and the supervisor to be fairly objective in assessing their performance by the help of rating
scale.
The assessment of the school based activities is the responsibility of the mentor and the supervisor. In
this process the mentor will observe these activities while they are being conducted/ organized by them.
For each activity, after it is being organized, they will prepare reports mentioning the process of
organization, difficulties faced, if any, personal experiences about the conduct of the activity and
feedback received from the learners involved. Each report will be authenticated by the mentor with
his/her observations/remarks. The mentor will retain all these reports with him/her and pass them on to
the supervisor. The supervisor may also observe some of the activities at the time they are being
organized. The final assessment will be done by the supervisor. S/he will award mark to each activity
on the basis of observation of the mentor and his/her own observations. The supervisor will use
appropriate rating scales for awarding marks to the activities conducted by you. S/he will also make an
overall rating of their activities in a five point scale on their keenness of maintaining records, nature of
suggestion given by them to solve the school based problems, comprehensiveness and clarity of their
reports. After assessing each activity separately, an overall grade will be calculated for all the activities.
The award list will be submitted to the Study centre coordinator for further necessary action. The
reports are to be returned to the teacher trainees to produce those for verification during the
workshop-I at study centre.

(ii) Workshop Based Activities (WBA)
The workshop provides a basic introduction to techniques and tips for facilitation, useful for training in
different aspects of teaching and learning. In the workshop they get opportunity to have face-to-face
interaction with the resource persons, peer groups and others. It will also provide a platform for trainee
for exchanging their views, raising issues, discussing themes, problems etc., relating to their function as
a teacher. The workshop will be organized at the study centre. The duration of the workshop will be of
12 days every year. The schedule for the workshop has been drawn providing the scope for flexibility as
per the local needs.
One of the purposes of this workshop is to help you to acquire and practice skills, particularly those
related to teaching and management in the classroom under the supervision of Resource Persons. In the
proposed workshops such activities are included which require active participation and involvement on
their part and are considered essential for enhancing their effectiveness as teachers.
The Workshop Based Activities (WBA) involve 240 study hours (8 credits) in two years
Note: Format/rating scale has not been provided for some of the activities. Flexibility is being provided to the Resource
Persons to use the evaluation tools of their own.

(iii) Practice Teaching
One of the principal objectives of D.El.Ed. Programme is to enable them to develop the right attitude
towards the teaching profession and acquire the teaching skill to the optimum level through the
Practice Teaching (PT) exercise. The chief components of PT are-
i. Acquiring the techniques of writing good lesson plans and
ii. Acquiring the skills of delivering the lesson effectively as per the plans
In fact, these two components are considered as the very essential of the teaching-learning process; and
mastering both and using them in the right spirit will definitely make them a successful teacher.
Through continuous and sincere practice only they can acquire them to the possible extent, as they are
acquirable, achievable and measurable competencies. PT exercise is consider as foundation stone of the
teaching profession and it ( 40 practice lessons) provides ample opportunities to the teacher trainees to
acquire, improve and master the teaching skills to ac satisfactory level. Love for the profession, strong
will power and consistent efforts (practice) will definitely yield fruitful results. There is a saying
Practice makes a man perfect; which implies that practice of teaching is to be done with a desire,
determination and diligence to achieve perfection.
The whole PT exercise involves 8 credits equivalent to 240 hours in your place of work.
50
and learn things from the subject teachers of higher classes and other resource persons; in order to
enrich own knowledge. All such attempts would definitely transform a poor teacher into a better
teacher.
Having ample theoretical knowledge of various methods and strategies of teaching a subject will not
make one a better teacher. They have to choose the appropriate method/strategy of teaching and
executing it in the right manner and in right time and in the right situation. They also have to take into
consideration the academic levels of the learners and difficulty level of the content matter to be a better
teacher.
51
tempted to raise the questions which will be an indication that they are involved in the learning process.
In addition to it, they are to ask some simple and higher order questions to assess their level of
understanding during the process of formation of the concept by the learners.
Some questions need to be asked at the end of the lesson of summative type on the topics so far
covered. Home assignment of comprehensive type may be given to the learners for strengthening their
understanding of the concepts.
52
viii. Out of 12 Lessons at least 4 lessons they are to deliver in multigrade/multiple class context
and which will be observed by Supervisor
Assessment
Like the assessment of school based activities, the mentor and the supervisor will assess practice
teaching. As indicated earlier, the mentor will observe all the lessons (28) and assess 20 of them by
assigning rating on a five-point scale provided in the Teaching Competency Mapping Profile
(TCMP).The supervisor, however, will assess the quality of 8 (2+2+2+2) lessons including four in
multigrade/multiple context observed by you using the format, which is provided at the end of this
handbook. The ratings of the two evaluators (the mentor and the supervisor) may vary. On the basis of
the ratings of all the lessons delivered, the supervisor will calculate a cumulative rating of all the
lessons (20+08=28 lessons) and will assign an overall mark to Teacher Trainee in accordance with the
procedure given in this handbook. The overall grades of Practice Teaching of all the candidates
assigned to you will be submitted to the study centre coordinator for further action. At the end of the
programme (Practice Teaching), the Head of the school will submit a practice teaching process
evaluation report for each trainee in the prescribed rating scale appended at the end of this section. The
marks awarded by the Supervisors and head of school will be put together to assign final weightage to
the Practice Teaching in respect of each candidate. The lesson plans, after assessment, in different
subjects will be returned to the teacher trainee to be verified in the first day of Workshop-II.
