8. Modes of Transaction
To move beyond traditional lecture-based teaching and promote active, participatory learning, the

The key modes of transaction include:
(a) Lecture-cum-Discussion Sessions: These sessions are designed to help student-teachers
connect theoretical knowledge with real-life educational contexts. Faculty members facilitate
discussions that encourage critical thinking and reflection on foundational and pedagogical
concepts.
(b) Seminar Presentations: Student-teachers undertake topical or thematic studies, prepare
write-ups, and present their findings in seminars. These presentations are followed by open
discussions, aimed at enhancing academic understanding, communication skills, and
confidence.
(c) Library Work: To deepen subject knowledge, student-teachers are encouraged to engage in
independent reading and research in the library. They collect relevant materials on assigned
themes or issues and use them to develop seminar papers or assignments.
(d) Practicum: As part of developing a research mindset and professional competencies, student-
teachers engage in a range of practicum-based activities integrated into specific courses.
These include ICT and Classroom Transaction, Drama and Art in Education, Development of
Self, and Action Research Project. Through these components, they acquire hands-on
experience in using digital tools, integrating creative arts into teaching, engaging in reflective
self-development, and conducting project work or action research related to real educational
issues. These practicum activities are completed within the semester and evaluated through
both internal assessments by faculty and external examination, wherever applicable.
(e) Sessional Activities and Tests: Each course includes sessional assignments or class tests that
must be completed within a set timeframe. These are conducted under the guidance of faculty
members and form a part of the internal assessment.
(f) School-Based Practice Teaching and Internship: Student-teachers undergo one month of
practice teaching in the second semester and a four-month school internship in the third
semester. These school-based experiences involve classroom teaching on school subjects,
conducting activities, managing classroom situations, and participating in school
administration and community services. The performance shall be evaluated by mentors and
faculty, and a report certified by the host school must be submitted for final assessment by
internal and external evaluators.
