 A STUDY ON ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS AMONG HIGHER SECONDARY STUDENTS 

"As part of my B.Ed curriculum, I conducted a research project titled 'A Study on Entrepreneurial Skills among Higher Secondary Students'. This project aimed to investigate the entrepreneurial skills of higher secondary students. Entrepreneurial skills are essential in positioning entrepreneurs to identify opportunities, make effective decisions, turn their ideas into reality, overcome challenges, an properly allocate resources to achieve goals and succeed.Business management skills are essential for entrepreneurs to effectively plan, organize, direct,and control the resources of an organization.

The objectives of the study were threefold:

1. To identify  the various entrepreneurial skills possessed by higher secondary students.

2. To find out the level of entrepreneurial skills among these students.

3. To compare the entrepreneurial skills of higher secondary students across different parameters.

The findings of the study revealed that higher secondary students indeed possess certain entrepreneurial skills, highlighting the potential for further development and nurturing of these skills to foster future entrepreneurs."

Conscientization programme

Edu 11 Developmental Perspectives in Education.

conscientization programm on water pollution 

 Education is a fundamental aspect of human development and progress. It is the key to unlocking opportunities, expanding knowledge, and fostering critical thinking skills. Education empowers individuals to reach their full potential and contribute positively to society. 

A conscientization program on water pollution is a crucial initiative aimed at raising awareness, educating communities, and promoting action to address the issue of water pollution. Conscientization, a concept popularized by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, refers to the process of critical awareness and empowerment through education.

Conscientization, a concept popularized by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, is a transformative process of critical awareness and empowerment through education. It involves individuals critically reflecting on their social and political realities, understanding the root causes of oppression and injustice, and taking action to create positive change. At the heart of conscientization is the recognition that knowledge is power, and that by critically examining the world around us, we can challenge existing power structures and work towards a more just and equitable society. Through dialogue, reflection, and action, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of the social, economic, and political forces that shape their lives and communities.

A Concentration programme on Water pollution was conducted on 18 th January 2024 in the C1A class of St. Stephen's Higher secondary school, Pathanapauram. The class was taken to create an awareness about environmental degradation to students of C1A. The topic chosen for the programme is Water pollution one of the prominent threat faced by our nature today. Using power point presentation the various causes, effects & remedial measures of air pollution was discussed to the students of C1A. The students actively involved in the discussion and shared their thought and knowledge. Here also attaching the power point presentation of water pollution

Health and physical education

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION 

"As part of the B.Ed curriculum at Kerala University, I conducted two health education classes and two physical education classes for plus one Humanities students during my third-semester teaching practice. These classes aimed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for a lifetime of physical activity and wellness. Health and physical education are essential components of a comprehensive education, fostering a balanced lifestyle. Notably, I emphasized the practice of yoga, which harmonizes physical and mental discipline to achieve a tranquil state of body and mind, demonstrating its profound impact on overall well-being."

"For my physical education classes, I selected two essential asanas from Surya Namaskar: 'Tadasana: Palm Tree Pose' and 'Arthakriya Chakrasana: Half waist wheel pose'. These asanas promote flexibility, balance, and overall physical well-being.

In health education, I focused on two vital topics: 'Personal Hygiene' and 'Balanced Diet'. The personal hygiene class empowered students to recognize the significance of daily hygiene practices, while the balanced diet class educated them on the importance of healthy eating habits and identifying nutritious food options to avoid unhealthy choices.

To reinforce the concept of a balanced diet, I presented a comprehensive chart on Nutrition, illustrating the vital vitamins required for various body parts and the corresponding deficiency diseases. This visual aid enabled students to grasp the direct impact of nutrition on overall health and well-being."

Value education

Faith

Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered but only one boy came with umbrella.

- That's Faith

When you toss a one year baby in the air, he laughs because he knows you will catch him.

- That's Trust

Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to wake up alive next morning, but still we set alarm for tomorrow.

That's Hope

In the first phase of teaching , I conducted a value education activity to students to understand about faith. I conducted an activity named trust walk . The activity is summarised as follows

Pair up participants and have one person blindfolded while the other guides them on a walk. This activity helps develop trust and faith in following someone else's lead.

After the activity, I gave them an opportunity to tell feedback about the game and some students who participated in the game gave me feedback.
