The importance of yoga education for healthy living.

Discuss the importance of yoga education or yoga practice for a healthy lifestyle.

Importance of Yoga Education.

Yoga education for healthy living :-

The Sanskrit word for health is ``Swashta'' and has a deep meaning. It is made up of two Sanskrit words, namely 'swa' or self and 'stha' or centered. So health roughly translates to - health is "one's own self-centeredness". In the Indian system, the Self is described as Being - Consciousness etc. This is the real truth of every human being. Any deviation from this state of well-being can be considered a disease.

From the beginning of civilization, various physical exercises for physical strength and good health began. Physical education was a major part of education in the ancient Dravidian and Babylonian civilizations. We find traces of this in every subsequent civilization. In the modern age, science has reduced our physical labor opportunities, so the need for physical exercise has increased. Moreover, those who do physical labor also need special exercises to keep the body's internal organs, such as the heart, liver, kidney, pancreas and other endocrine glands dynamic and balanced. Because if the internal organs of the body cannot be kept healthy and dynamic, the muscle power will be disturbed at some point.

Dravidian sages invented yoga about five thousand years ago with the aim of keeping the body healthy by stimulating the performance of the internal organs. In the 21st century, health science in the West has become much more developed, enriched and fulfilled. But they could not discover any exercise better than yoga. Therefore, a large number of people, regardless of men and women, have become interested in this yoga in the West and around the world to stay healthy. Every year the number of people interested in yoga is increasing. Even various asanas of yoga have been applied very successfully to cure various complex diseases including asthma, heart disease, diabetes.

Yoga is a process of holistic development of personality. Namely –

1. Muscle relaxation is possible through asana.

2. Pranayama and breathing exercises can slow down the breathing and balance the breathing.

3. The role of meditation in increasing creativity and gaining mental capacity is significant.

4. Jnanayoga – helps to take the mind to the intellectual stage by means of rate of intelligence and conceptual correction.

5. Various methods of Bhakti Yoga play a special role in making life happy and maintaining mental balance.

6. All aspects of life organized following the rules of Karma Yoga influence the innate divinity of man.

7. Yoga helps in relieving lifestyle disorders like insomnia, high blood pressure, anxiety, obesity, stress, diabetes etc.

8. Yoga helps relieve depression and reduce dependence on psychiatric drugs.

9. Yoga helps in pain management such as arthritis, back pain and general muscle stiffness.

10. Yoga can improve the functioning of the circulatory or lymphatic systems; As a result, immunity power increases.

11. Many asanas and especially shasthakriya or six special asanas (neti, nauli, basti - etc.) play an effective role in removing toxic elements from the body. They help relieve sinusitis, constipation, acidity, heartburn, migraines and can improve future immunity.

So although yoga was developed as a spiritual science, it is today used more as a self-healing method to maintain a healthy body and mind.

What is summative evaluation? Discuss the objectives of summative evaluation. What are the benefits of summative evaluation?

Summative Evaluation :-
Concept and definition of Summative Evaluation:-

Whenever the formative evaluation comes to an end, summative evaluation is needed. It can be said that the summative evaluation is a post-formative evaluation process which is organized to measure the proficiency of students at the end of a year or a certain period of time. Teaching and learning ; and the overall outcome of the learning process is obtained from such kinds of evaluation. Class assessment, unit assessment, oral assessment etc. are the parts of formative evaluation. So, the process of making an overall evaluation of the student's proficiency in terms of learning objectives at the end of a specified period or at the end of a course is called summative evaluation.

Summative evaluation is of two types. such as,

(a) Extrinsic and (b) Intrinsic.

Summative evaluation is organized when the students are familiar with the entire curriculum and expectations are prepared on the entire curriculum. So, summative evaluation takes place after the completion of an academic year and leads to promotion to the next class.

What is formative evaluation? What are the objectives of formative Evaluation? What are the advantages of formative evaluation?

Formative Evaluation :-
What is Formative Evaluation?

Formative evaluation generally refers to consistent evaluation of student proficiency throughout a unit, course, or instructional program. That is, the type of evaluation during content discussion in the classroom is basically formative evaluation. During teaching or instruction, content is divided into small parts and presented in order of concepts so that students can easily understand. At the end of each unit, students are required to take a test, through which their strengths and weaknesses are identified. Remedial teaching is provided for those areas in which the students are weak, after which formative evaluation is again undertaken. The main purpose of this type of evaluation is to judge whether students have developed the concept of content and special emphasis is placed on students' learning difficulties.

With the help of formative evaluation, during teaching or instruction, a teacher can know whether students' concepts have been formed and the progress of students in learning. As a result, teachers are facilitated to give feedback to students. Again formative evaluation gives feedback to the teacher. With the help of this he can select appropriate methods, techniques or teaching aids to the students and present the content in a proper manner. Individual assessment, class tests, in-class quizzes, homework, quarterly tests - etc. are used as formative evaluation techniques or instruments. The purpose of formative evaluation is to improve student learning and make teachers competent in presenting learning experiences.

Objective of Formative Evaluation :-
What are the purposes of Formative Evaluation?

1. The purpose of formative evaluation is to provide feedback to students, not grades.

2. Formative evaluation is designed to provide continuous and immediate feedback to teachers so that they can reform instruction, select appropriate teaching methods, appropriate learning aids, appropriate remedial instruction, design effective lesson plans, etc.

3. Formative evaluation provides continuous and immediate feedback to students. This in turn motivates them to learn and can identify their learning errors that need correction.

Advantages of Formative Evaluation :-
What are the advantages of Formative Evaluation?

1. In formative evaluation, the teacher repeatedly checks and assesses whether learning is taking place as planned.

2. Formative evaluation informs and provides feedback on student progress during instruction. Hence formative evaluation is very helpful in making immediate decisions about students.

3. Formative evaluation makes the learning process very effective. As a result, students are effectively motivated to learn.

4. Formative evaluation places more emphasis on proficiency than on objectives.

5. Formative evaluation offers many opportunities for students to gain understanding and mastery of content.

6. Formative evaluation is concerned with judging instructional programs and designs. These judgments help and guide over the program and its changes, improvements and implementation.

7. Formative evaluation helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses. Formative evaluation thoroughly identifies areas where students are weak in content and indicates what remedial teaching is needed.

Discuss the different types of Evaluation

Types of Evaluation :-

A number of aspects of the student are critically observed to assign value to the student's performance. The multifaceted being of the learner develops through the process of education. Their value is determined by the appraisal process. So the evaluation in education is not a single process, but a holistic process. Different evaluation processes should be used to appropriately assess those subjects that are interrelated among students. such as,

1. Formative Evaluation:-

Formative evaluation generally refers to consistent assessment of student proficiency throughout a unit, course, or instructional program. That is, the type of assessment during content discussion in the classroom is basically formative evaluation. During teaching or instruction content is divided into small parts and presented in order of concepts so that students can easily understand. At the end of each unit, students are required to take a test, through which their strengths and weaknesses are identified. Remedial teaching is provided for those areas in which the students are weak, after which formative evaluation is again undertaken. That is, the main purpose of this type of evaluation is to judge whether students have developed content concepts and special emphasis is placed on students' learning difficulties.

2. Summative Evaluation :-

Whenever the formative evaluation comes to an end, summative evaluation is needed. That is, it can be said that summative evaluation is a post-formative assessment process which is organized to measure the proficiency of students at the end of a year or a certain period of time.

Teaching – The overall outcome of the learning process is obtained from such assessment. Class assessment, unit assessment, oral assessment etc. are part of formative assessment. That is, the process of making an overall assessment of the student's proficiency in terms of learning objectives at the end of a specified period or at the end of a course is called summative evaluation.

Summative evaluation is of two types. such as,

(a) Extrinsic and (b) Intrinsic.

Summative evaluation is organized when the students are familiar with the entire curriculum and expectations are prepared on the entire curriculum. To that way, summative evaluation takes place after the completion of an academic year and leads to promotion to the next class.

3. Process Evaluation:-

One of the aspects of evaluation in modern pedagogy is process evaluation. Importantly, teachers are able to implement this evaluation task appropriately and for this the teacher's observation skills need to be idealized and thoroughly judged. In any assessment phase, the student answers the question papers consistently and in a specific order. They have to be judged on the organization of the answer sheets given i.e. on the process of answering and the final evaluation is done. The answers to the questions of the students will be graded by the teacher according to the order of the process and then the final evaluation will be done.

4. Product Evaluation or, Outcome Evaluation:-

After a student is enrolled in a program, the evaluation process that determines the student's success in that program is called outcome evaluation. i.e. job completion evaluation. such as,

(a) The whole program is evaluated by looking at the answer determined at the end of the student-made part in solving any mathematical problem.

(b) Animal cell or plant cell diagram is evaluated by looking at the complete picture.

5. Achievement Evaluation:-

Competence generally refers to the ability to perform a task. Again a person can acquire this skill in two ways. One who is born with special powers with the help of which he can perform certain tasks in a particular field. On the other hand one can perform some tasks with training. Achievement evaluation is a type of measurement technique or management by which an individual's ability to perform tasks in a second field is measured. That is, the objective to measure the subjective change in the learner's personal life as a result of controlled training, over a specified period of time, is called the Achievement evaluation.

Organizational forms of Achievement evaluation can be divided primarily into two categories.

(a) Tests of Standardized Aptitude :- Tests which have a sound understanding of reliability, validity etc. and the scores obtained from them are comparable and constructed following appropriate rules and principles while preparing the test, are called Tests of Standardized Aptitude.

(b) Teacher-made test :- In the case where the teacher prepares tests suitable for the class without following the specific rules and principles of preparation of the test, that type of test is called teacher-made test.

6. Diagnostic Evaluation:-

Many times it is seen that students find it difficult to understand and learn a concept. Differences in this difficulty can be seen in individuals, subjects and classes. Identifying these difficulties in students is essential to make the teaching-learning process effective. It can be determined by diagnostic tests. An assessment prepared based on a thorough analysis of the specific skills required to perform a task successfully and the common mistakes students make is called a Diagnostic Evaluation.

Define evaluation. Write the characteristics of evaluation. What are the different methods of evaluation? Discuss the importance of evaluation.

Definition of Evaluation
Features of Evaluation
Methods of Evaluation
Importance of Evaluation

Definition of Evaluation:-

The general meaning of the word evaluation is "the act of assigning value". The term of evaluation has come to be associated in the field of education with the term educational evaluation. Literally, therefore, educational assessment is the process of assigning value to the future behavior of the student in the context of past behavior in education, relative to current behavior.

Modern pedagogy is well-established in combining philosophical, psychological, scientific, social, ethical and technical conclusions. Educational evaluation is therefore an attempt or means of measuring the social development of the child. Therefore, educational evaluation is a complex process with which to impose an overall effect on the various behaviors of the learner and which is acceptable to the society, the individual or both.

In order to measure the multifaceted changes of the student as a whole, the mechanistic technique and theoretical basis of the measurement have been adopted to determine the degree of achievement of the educational goals. So Wesley said, "Evaluation is a total and final estimate."

Emphasis on the characteristics of the educational process, educators define educational evaluation as a consistent process that assesses how far students have progressed toward the educational goals and assesses proficiency - it is called educational evaluation. This assessment assesses and evaluates the qualitative and quantitative value of student behavior.

The inclusion of evaluation in the educational process can be said that the technique applied to judge the outcome of the learning-teaching process or to determine the standard or to analyze the comparative judgment is called evaluation. So by analyzing the definition of Quillen and Hanna in broad sense we get -

(a) Evaluation is a technique that determines the standard of overall judgment of the child's behavior.

(b) Evaluation is the strategy to determine the progressive development of the student.

(d) Assessment of student proficiency – Qualitative and quantitative measurement of it are evaluation techniques.

(e) Evaluation is the management that develops and reveals the whole personality of the student.

(f) Evaluation is a system that constitutes a collaborative effort between students-teachers-parents.

According to the Mudaliar Commission, evaluation measures student's attitude, interest, thinking, health and work habits and social adaptability in extra-curricular aspects along with determining moral aptitude.

Characteristics of Evaluation:- (Features of Evaluation)

'Education' is an act or process. Just as every work or process requires evaluation, so too is evaluation essential in the learning process. The characteristics of educational evaluation are –

1. Evaluation is an integral part of the learning-teaching process. Evaluation controls quality at each level of this process.

2. Learning is conducted unit wise. So evaluation is curriculum based.

3. Evaluation is a key process that helps students learn and teachers manage lessons in the classroom.

4. Evaluation is formative and it validates student learning.

5. Evaluation is the remedial process by which the learner achieves desired abilities and achieves achievement or proficiency.

6. Evaluation is objective and is always goal oriented as it is conducted with reference to the multifaceted goals of education.

7. Evaluation is implemented in different ways. The same behavior of the student is evaluated in different ways depending on the different goals and objectives.

8. Evaluation is always progressing in relation to learning goals and student learning experiences.

9. Evaluation is a complex process. Evaluation is a complex but holistic process of assessment as a learner's behavior is judged by evaluating the significance of its various aspects and based on these judgments the assessment of the learner's proficiency is determined. That is, evaluation is a process based on student ability.

10. Evaluation is a continuous process. Because evaluation guides the student through his or her learning to the overall developmental level or his or her intended goals.

11. Evaluation encourages student self-learning. As the student can assess his/her own merit in proper assessment, his/her education can progress in the prescribed way.

12. Evaluation is a determinant of student weakness.

13. Evaluation expresses proficiency both innately and quantitatively.

Different techniques of evaluation:- (Methods of Evaluation)

In order to accurately assess student learning in the classroom, multifaceted data should be collected. It is not possible to assess the student by means of a single effort in any subject. Various behavioral changes occur in students through education. Various techniques are used to assess these changes. Sometimes more than one technique must be used to measure a behavioral change.

The evaluation methods or techniques used in teaching-learning are –

1. Examination

2. Test

3. Data Collection

4. observation

5. Interview

6. home inspection

Importance of Evaluation :- (Significance of Evaluation)

A learner gradually grows and develops through a continuous and changing process of learning. The evaluation process makes this learning process ideal and an integral part of the student's life. Although this evaluation process has varied from ancient times to the present day, its importance has increased over time. The importance of the evaluation process in education is manifold.

1. A holistic evaluation of the learner is needed to accurately assess the changes occurring in the learning process.

2. Evaluation makes students judge irrational changes by aligning them with the goals and objectives of today's education.

3. The objective evaluation system of modern education has also changed and expanded.

Teaching Strategy : Meaning and definition , features and basic principles.

What is teaching strategy? Discuss the main features of teaching strategies. Discuss the principles of developing teaching strategies.

Concept of teaching strategy:-

Strategy is the English equivalent which is widely used in the field of war or army. But nowadays the term strategy is used by pedagogues and sociologists as a social process. The use of the word strategy is especially noticeable in class teaching.

According to B.O. Smith, a teaching strategy is a pattern or style of teaching that helps to achieve specific learning outcomes. Purposefully determined and adopted action plans are teaching strategies.

Selection of appropriate strategies for delivery of learning experiences and organization of teacher-student activities helps to achieve effective curriculum content and curricular objectives.

LIST OF ALL NOTES / PROJECTS : CLICK HERE

Key Features of Teaching Strategies:-

1. One of the characteristics of teaching techniques is to ensure the maximum performance of a student and to develop the will to perform.

2. Teaching techniques must develop the ability to think clearly.

3. This will broaden the range of interests of the students.

4. Teaching strategies that maintain the principles of discipline and cooperation will create opportunities for students to participate in a variety of independently undertaken activities.

5. Teaching strategies will create desirable opportunities for students to apply the acquired knowledge in practical situations.

6. Teaching strategies will teach students how to use a variety of reading aids in a lesson.

7. Strategies will be adopted depending on the intelligence level of the students.

8. Teaching strategies must balance individual activities with group collaborative activities.

Principles of Developing Teaching Strategies:-

1. Selection Policy:-

Particular importance should be given to the elements on which teaching strategies depend to enrich the teaching-learning environment. These are - student ability, access to various resources, early stage behavior, presence of institutional environment, quality of teacher preparation, objectives to be achieved and nature of curriculum content etc.

2. Motivation Policy :-

Teaching is the basis of motivation. That is why the teacher has to choose the strategy through all judgments. A variety of positive incentives, such as praise, rewards, should be used more. Because they are specially designed for students. On the other hand, negative stimuli, such as punishment, reprimand, etc., cause a long delay in awakening. Applying them often reduces the interest of the students in learning.

3. Basic Principles Policy:-

When a teacher adopts the right approach to teaching, he must use and follow the basic principles of teaching. These are simple to complex, known to unknown, whole to part, concrete to abstract and concrete to general.

4. Principle of Variation :-

Teaching and learning strategies can be of various types and they can provide different fields of activity for teachers and students. Such as observation, collection of various topics and information, game-based activities, educational games, educational trips, drama staging and role-playing, ascending-descending learning, problem-solving learning, etc.

5. Policy of Relationship with Environment :-

The socio-economic and cultural environment surrounding the school should be considered as one of the most important aspects of teaching to make learning strong and meaningful. The teacher will in this case build a relation of the curriculum content with all these environmental elements. For example, in the case of urban studies, he can make the learning experiences of the students more lively and robust by visiting different municipalities , etc.

6. Principle of Response:-

Receiving daily feedback or being aware of feedback is an essential technique in the teaching learning process. A continuous assessment process plays an important role in providing feedback, through which the strengths and weaknesses of the learning process can be easily identified.

7. Principle of personal differences :-

One of the most important teaching strategies is to give individual attention to each student and arrange them according to their abilities. One of the important approaches and strategies of education is to provide education according to the needs of intelligent children and remedial education for children with low intelligence.

8. Principles of holistic development of students:-

While formulating teaching strategies, one must keep in mind whether they are conducive to the overall development of students. Co-curricular activities should also be included in the school curriculum. These can include a variety of activities. For example - school conference activities, beautification of school environment, creative activities, celebration of special days, national days - etc. Such strategy building is very useful for the overall development of the students.
