Educational Management

Notes (i) Monitorial System : Intelligent and capable students of senior classes should be trained as
monitors and asked to teach junior class.
(ii) Self-study by Pupils : Self study under the supervision and control of the monitor. This will
help inframing the school time-table independent work or self-study by pupils, provided in
the time table itself may be done individually of collectively is small groups.
(iii) Collective Classes : While teaching the subjects like General Science.
• Time-Table in Double Shift Schools
• The following four types of double-shifts have been introduced:
(i) Ladder-wise Shift : High and higher secondary classes attend the school in the morning shift
and middle classes in afternoon.
(ii) Section-wise Shift : Half the sections of each class attend the school in the morning shift and
the remaining half in the afternoon.
(iii) Sex-wise shift : Girls attend the school in the morning shift and the boys in the afternoon.

(iv) Overlapping double-shift : Some classes attend the school in the morning shift, some in the
afternoon and some in both the shifts for certain special subjects like music, drawing, science,
sanskrit, home science, art and crafts. In this case the same teacher these subjects in-both the
shifts.

with days or daily are entered or noted.
(iv) The time-table provides teaching schedule of subjects teacher wise as well as classwise.
• Important Factors for School Time-Table
• The following factors must be considered while framing the time-table in double shifts schools.
(i) Shorter Duration of Teaching Period : As compared to that of a normal high or higher
secondary school in all types of double shift schools, duration of teaching periods has to he
shorter as the time available is short.
(ii) Disadvantages to Students and Teachers : Students who attend in the morning shift have to
reach in school quite early, even in the cold winter months of January and February.
(iii) Difficulty in Providing Co-curricular Activities : Because of the shortage of school time, the
students cannot be provided adequate opportunity of participating in game and co-curricular
activities.
• The following are defect of school time-table :
(i) Uniformity : The school days is broken up into uniform chunks of 35 to 50 minutes, allocating
certain hours per week to the study of individual subjects.
(ii) Ruthless Master : With fixed provision of time and place the time-table puts teachers and
students in a kind of lock up. It tends to fix the nature of learning experience in a relatively
straight Jacker.
(iii) One Sided : It does not contribute to the total growth of the pupil’s learning experiences.
