discussions that encourage critical thinking and reflection on foundational and pedagogical
concepts.

write-ups, and present their findings in seminars. These presentations are followed by open
discussions, aimed at enhancing academic understanding, communication skills, and
confidence.

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.

must be completed within a set timeframe. These are conducted under the guidance of faculty
members and form a part of the internal assessment.

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.

Procedure:
Each student-teacher shall conduct an independent action research project on a school-based
problem identified during their internship, under the close supervision of a faculty mentor.
The research must involve real-time data collection, critical analysis, reflection, and the
implementation of contextually relevant intervention strategies aimed at improving teaching-
learning processes or school functioning. The procedure will include the following sequential
stages:
1. Orientation: At the commencement of the semester, student-teachers shall undergo a
structured orientation session designed to acquaint them with the foundational
principles, nature, objectives, and methodologies of action research in education. This
orientation will also cover ethical considerations and technical aspects of conducting
field-based educational research.
2. Topic Selection: Students will engage in reflective discussions and consultations with
assigned faculty member/mentor to identify a relevant and feasible researchable issue
within the school setting. The selected topic must align with contemporary
educational concerns and should have practical significance for improving classroom
or school practices.
3. Topic Approval: Each proposed topic will be formally evaluated and approved by the
College Research Committee (CRC) or an equivalent academic body. Upon approval,
a Research Supervisor/Mentor will be officially assigned to each student for
continuous academic and methodological support throughout the research process.

52
4. Research Proposal: Students are required to prepare a comprehensive research
proposal. This proposal must be presented before the College Research Committee for
constructive feedback and formal approval before proceeding to the research phase.
5. Research Phase: Once the proposal is approved, students will begin systematic data
collection, followed by the implementation of intervention strategies as part of their
action research. Regular interaction with the assigned mentor is mandatory. Student-
teachers must maintain a research diary and submit monthly progress reports
documenting field activities, challenges, and outcomes.
6. Action Research Report Writing: The final report must be written in a formal
academic style (refer the Suggested Format for Action Research). A plagiarism
verification report must be submitted along with the final dissertation to ensure
academic integrity.
