Principles of conducting co-curricular activities:-
The principles that should be followed in conducting co-curricular activities in schools are -
1. Principle of democracy:-
Just as an individual accepts a scholarship of his own free will, students should be given enough freedom in choosing co-curricular activities in schools. A democratic environment in choosing co-curricular activities will attract students to specific co-curricular activities and in that case, there will be opportunities for the development of their skills.
2. Principle of fixed time:-
Co-curricular activities should be conducted at the time fixed for the school. As a result, on the one hand, all students will be able to get acquainted with the co-curricular activities and participate in the co-curricular activities of their choice; on the other hand, the attraction of students towards the school will increase.
3. Principle of well-planned objectives: -
There should be a well-planned objective on the part of the school authorities in conducting co-curricular activities in the school. If co-curricular activities can be conducted in a well-planned manner, it is possible to achieve a specific goal.
4. Principle of selecting suitable teachers: -
A suitable and skilled teacher is absolutely necessary for conducting various types of co-curricular activities. Only a suitable teacher can constructively outline the co-curricular activities in the student and implement them properly and successfully fulfill the objectives of education.
5. Principle of selecting the right leadership: -
Various types of co-curricular activities are conducted in the school. Their nature is also different. For example - annual sports competition and science workshop - these two co-curricular activities are different in nature. Therefore, while conducting co-curricular activities, a leader with specific skills in a specific field should be selected.
6. Student Participation Policy:-
It should be kept in mind whether each student is involved in any one or more of the various co-curricular activities conducted in the school. In many cases, students do not participate in co-curricular activities due to reluctance, shyness, lack of opportunities, etc. As a result, the purpose of education remains incomplete.
7. Policy regarding the supply of materials:-
Different materials are required to conduct various co-curricular activities. If all these materials are not available in sufficient quantities in the school, it is not possible to conduct co-curricular activities properly. The materials attract the students towards co-curricular activities. For example, if there are several footballs in the school, students will easily get attracted towards that ball.
8. Policy regarding data recording:-
All information about the co-curricular activities conducted in the school should be recorded. For example - what types of co-curricular activities are being conducted, who is participating in them, who is showing special skills among the participating students - etc. This information will make it easy to identify a specific suitable student over a long period of time.
9. Principle of not neglecting the curriculum: -
Co-curricular activities are varied and students easily get attracted to them. However, while conducting co-curricular activities, great care should be taken so that the curriculum is not neglected in any way. Because, if the curriculum is neglected, the student will deviate from his main objective.
10. Principle of maintaining discipline: -
Co-curricular activities are enjoyable and students are given enough freedom in conducting them. As a result, there is enough scope for chaos to occur. Therefore, school authorities and teachers should be careful to maintain discipline while conducting co-curricular activities in schools.
11. Evaluation principle:-
Every co-curricular activity conducted in the school should be evaluated. However, just as the evaluation principle is followed in the case of the curriculum, it should be different in the case of co-curricular activities. The system of evaluation and reward in any co-curricular activity encourages the student.
12. Principle of giving importance to local issues:-
In conducting co-curricular activities in the school, special importance should be given to local issues. As a result, on the one hand, local culture will develop, and on the other hand, students will be able to feel unity with co-curricular activities.
13. Principle of educational role:-
Co-curricular activities in the school are conducted on the basis of specific educational objectives. Therefore, every co-curricular activity should have an educational role. No such co-curricular activities should be conducted in the school - which is unimportant from an educational point of view.
14. Principle of Variety:-
The co-curricular activities conducted in the school must be varied. Otherwise, they will become monotonous and boring to the student and the main purpose of education will be disrupted. Varied co-curricular activities will easily attract the student.
15. Principle of Flexibility:-
The principle of flexibility must be followed while conducting co-curricular activities in the school. Unnecessary rigidity, a fiercely competitive environment, taking away the freedom of the students in the name of maintaining discipline - etc. will create aversion among the students towards co-curricular activities.
