  1. Moving towards CBCS:A Need of an Hour …. भीती वाटते चाकोरी मधून बाहेर पडण्याची ! …. भीती वाटते,एक शिक्षक म्हणुन, अपयश येण्याची, ! …भीती वाटते म्हणुनमग जे चालले आहे तेच चालू राहते ! ….भीती वाटतेबदल घडवून आणण्याची ! Moving high up

  2. What Feeling Did You Get ? • Fear • Insecurity • Displeasure • Anger • Mess • Test • Victim

  3. Why CBCS ? • The action plan proposed by UGC outlines the need to consider and adopt CBCS pattern which offers • Wideranging choice (based on their aptitude & career goals), • Flexibility in curriculum development, • Exam reforms by reducing the weightage on semester end exam so that students enjoy de-stressed learning environment • Permit students to learn at their own pace • Opportunity to earn more credits • “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” ―

  4. Adopt an interdisciplinary approach in learning • Make best use of the ‘Expertise’ of faculty across the institution besides the particular department faculty • Acquire knowledge, skill and attitude of learning outcomes through participatory learning & teaching and continuous evaluation process. • Opportunity to earn more Credits • You can never be over-educated !

  5. Terminology • Programme • Every branch of study at UG/PG level is called a programme. • e.g. B. Com. degree programme / B. A. Degree programme in English / M.Sc. Degree programme in Mathematics. • Course • Every paper / subject of study offered by various UG / PG degree programmes is called a course.

  6. Curriculum • The various parts / components of each and every UG / PG degree programme that give appropriate teaching – learning experience are collectively called curriculum. • Education is not preparation for Life but Life itself

  7. Credits ! What is Credit ? • It’s an implication of achievement or earning • Successful completionof class room instructions • It refers to the numerical weightage • Attendance (learning effort) • Volume of the content to be delivered

  8. Types of Credits 1. Common / Foundation Course(s) 2 Core Course(s) 3. Complimentary Course(s) 4Optional Credit Course(s)

  9. 5. Elective Course(s) 6. Non-Credit Course(s) 7. Bridge Course(s)– non-credit course(2 weeks duration)

  10. Foundation Course • It refers to a paper which lays emphasis on‘General awareness and General knowledge’ ‘Communication English’, and ‘Personality Development’ to be possessed by every student.  • This is aself-study paper and there will be no contact classes. Supportive study material will be supplied to all the students. • Common Course or Credits: Ex. Language Papers

  11. Core Course or Credits • Hard Core Course = a compulsory paper • Soft Core Course = choice for student to choose a paper from a pool of papers from the main discipline of the study or from sister / related discipline / subject which supports the main discipline

  12. Core Courses • Major courses are offered by each of the academic departments with a number of innovative and popular course(s). The compulsory allied is decided by the department. • Complimentaryor Alliedcourses are aimed at facilitating desired complimentary with the Major courses of study. • Theoptional allied is chosen by the students from a list of three allied subjects specified by the departments.

  13. Optional Course or Credits • Generally a paper which can be • chosen from a pool of papers • supportive to the disciplineof study • course of his/her liking across the discipline

  14. Elective Course or Credits • Generally a paper which can be • chosen from a pool of papers and which may be very specific or specialised in the discipline • provides an extended scope interdisciplinary • Open elective: an elective chosen from unrelated discipline with an intention to seek exposure • Self study elective: course designed to acquire advanced knowledge • eg support study for project work with an advisory support

  15. Non-Credit courses • Non-credit course, is essential to complete the degree but will not be counted in final count of credits only grades will be given. eg. Yoga, Seminar, GD, Presentation, Independent Study, / ‘Ethics and Culture’ etc. • No continuous assessment

  16. Bridge course(s) • Bridge course, is essential to take up the main programme • “Fear builds walls instead of bridges. I want a life of bridges, not walls.” • ‘Build bridge to unite the students with your discipline’. • Be the bridge to the next generation―

  17. Extra Department Course(s) • Each UG Department may at least one extra disciplinary course.  • It is intended to enable the student to study some subject of his/her liking, which the conventional course structure does not permit and • thereby broad base his/her intellectual horizon.

  18. Life or Job Oriented Course(s) • The course(s) which train the students with certain skills needed to enrich their lives or for self employment.  • Students to select one course from a group of LOC / JOCand have to complete it successfully to qualify for the UG degree.  • This course is evaluated by End-on- Semester Examinationonly. • What we learn with pleasure we never forget

  19. NCC / NSS / Sports / Yoga • Students choose any one of the courses viz NSS / NCC / Sports & Games / Yoga according to their aptitudes and suitability.  • The objective is to provide opportunities for recreation, social service and learning the rudiments of military science.  • The classes will be conducted outsidetheclass hours • Only internal exam

  20. General Course • General Courses offers an introduction to each Major discipline. Students may choose any one course, other than the one offered by their own department. • Environmental Studies evaluation is based only on the End of Semester Examinations.

  21. Advance Course(s) / Additional Elective • To facilitate the students to earn extra credits, • Advanced Courses to be offered by each and every department.  • Audit Course • A student has an option of auditing some courses, • grades obtained in such a course are not counted towards calculation of grade point average. • However, pass grade is essential for earning credits for audit course.

  22. Service Learning • It provides scope for experiential learning in their respective fields of study. • Right Credits will help the student, • to develop his capacities, • to understand his own highest interest.

  23. Some Innovations • PG by Research • Trimester Pattern • Dual Degree Course(s) • Integrated Research Program (M.Phil + Ph.D.) • Degree + Certificate Course • Some courses by regular teaching, some by DE mode • “Remember: Research shows that emotions are contagious. How will you infect others at work today?” ―

  24. Methodology & Plan of Action • To develop a structure having enough room for flexibility for horizontal as well as vertical migration of students • To design the curriculum with course labels. • Preparation of content for each course; Curriculum Enrichment • Teacher training and capacity building • Class room revamping

  25. We lack ‘Teacher-Centric Approach’

  26. Teaching the Crux of the ‘Learning Process’ • Experts recommend • reduction of lecture – oriented theory classes • integration of tutorial / practical classes for reinforced learning. • “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” ―

  27. Teaching Method(s) • Lecturing • Laboratory Teaching • Field Work Teaching • Interactive Teaching (Question & Answer) • Group Discussion Teaching • Experiential Teaching • Seminar Teaching • Quiz Teaching • Today there are less opportunity for all of the above

  28. Use of Black Board Blank(My hand does not reach here) 2 ft.

  29. Credit System Pattern • आनंदाचा असा पारिजातकसदैव दरवळतो मनामनात !शोधावा तेव्हा तो सापडतोआपला आपल्याच आंगणात !! • L–stands for Lecture Classes • T–stands for Tutorial Sessions (Participatory discussion / self study / desk work/seminar; make student absorb effectively the content delivered in the lecture classes) • P–stands for Practice / Practical sessions for lab. / field studies / case studies / hands on experience – this is the Skill Component

  30. L: 2 hrs./week = 2 credits/sem • T:2 hrs/week = 1 credit/sem • P:2 hrs/week = 1 credit/sem of learning/sem by a student in the paper i.e. 2+1+1 = 4 credits • = X:Y where X =L & Y = T + P • Concerned BoS will choose the convenient credit pattern for the course based on the requirement.

  31. We may have X:Y = 2:2 • 2:2 (2:1:1 or 2:0:2, or 2:2:0 in LTP structure) • 3:1 (3:0:1 or 3:1:0 in LTP structure) • 1:3 (1:1:2 or 1:2:1 or 1:0:3 or 1:3:1 in LTP structure)

  32. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Identify the Expertise Available 1. Specialisation of the Teaching Staff 2.The number of courses they can teach 3. Categorise the Teaching Staff “Homework is a best work, but if we hate it is a worst work” ―

  33. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Identify the Courses College can offer 1. Common Courses 2. Languages 3. Core Courses (subject wise or course wise)

  34. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Identify the Courses College can offer 4. Elective Courses 5. Optional Courses 6. Skill Development Courses “Don’t work harder, Work happier” ―

  35. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Prepare the Master Time Table 1. Slot for ‘Credit Exchange’: inter- departmental 2.Slot for ‘Credit Exchange’: inter-college 3. Slot for ‘Credit Exchange’: University (opportunity to learn on sub-campus or campus of the parent university)

  36. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Strengthen the existing MoU 1. Identify the Teachers for Teacher Exchange 2. Identify the ‘Experts’ as Adjunct Faculty 3. Identify the teachers from university for ‘Deputation of Teacher from University’

  37. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Go for Curriculum Enrichment 1. Identify the Demand of the courses 2.At least 10% of the syllabus should be on current development in the subject 3. Define the ‘objective(s) of learning the topic

  38. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Go for Curriculum Enrichment 4. Give the skills that will be developed by the student after learning the topic 5.Give scope of the subject 6. Give opportunities or avenues for further studies in the subject concerned.

  39. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Revise the Syllabuses 7. syllabus should have integrated composition of information, knowledgeandskillparametersto be learnt. 8. It is important to note that practical / field studies should not be isolatedasindependent papers of study 9. Both theory and practical should be taught in a holistic manner.

  40. What Home Work College has to Do ? • Administrative Work 1. ‘Board of Studies’ 2.Get the syllabus recommended by BoS 3. Academic Council will pass the syllabus & will put it before MC for its Final Approval

  41. Every ‘course’ should be designed as a self contained complete module • It is necessary to define thepre-requisite knowledge levelwhich should have been acquired by a candidate before registering for a particular course/paper • The contents of a ‘course’ may be distributed into 4 broad units • Every unit could be covered in a time frame of nearly 3-4 weeks out of 12-15 weeks

  42. ‘Dissertation’ • ‘First Unit’ may consist of identification of ‘problem area and literature survey’ • ‘Second Unit’ may consist of ‘Study of specific literature in detail pertaining to the statement of the problem’ • Third Unit’ may consist of ‘Developing a Solution Methodology’ or proposing a ‘Hypothesis’ or ‘Experimental Analysis’ • Fourth Unit’may consist of, ‘Result’ & ‘Conclusion’ • The teacher should have the freedom and wisdom to choose the latest books

  43. Work load of a Teacher प्रवास वेगवान झाला शोध घेता घेता शिक्षणाचा आता थकुनी गेलोय इतका कि वीट आला स्व:तचा आभासच सगळे… करू कुठवर खोटे बहाणे शोधत फिरत आहे आता हरवलेले जीवन गाणे -------------!

  44. Work load of a Student • Student has to earn the credit; earning means ‘attendance’ (with performance in class) + ‘Exam’ (Performance) • Following points should be taken into account while calculating the workload • A candidate can register for credits as high as permissible maximum per semester • A candidate can register for credits as low as permissible minimum per semester

  45. Fast Track Students: • Additional Credits (max. up to 16 credits) • Certificate may be awarded • Laptop facility • Research Level Projects or Dissertation • Seminar Participation • Research Paper Publication • Teaching Slow Learners (Rs.100/- per lecture)

  46. An add on Diploma – candidate shall have to earn a minimum of 40 credits in excess to the expected 120 credits at Bachelor’s degree in one major subject

  47. Mentor ( a group of 18-20 or 5-6) • A group of students will be assigned to a particular faculty member • The students can approach him or her for counselling on all academic matters • “A mentor empowers a student to see a possible future and believe it can be obtained”

  48. CourseDesign

  49. Relationship between no. of Credits and Marks • 4 Credit Course =100 marks • 2 Credit Course =050 marks • 1 Credit Course =025 marks

  50. No.of Lectures to be engaged per Credit • Lecturesperpaper/week=4 • Semesterduration=4 - 4.5 months • Semester duration=12 - 15 weeks • Total No. of Lectures to be taken in a Semester = 48 - 60
