Multi-grade & Multi-class Teaching Practices in Nepal By: Mr. ChouhanTara Management Association of Nepal
Abstract: • A teacher may teach the students by combining two full size classes to meet the shortage of teachers, • The inadequate supply of teachers as per the fixed student-teacher ratio and inadequate number of classrooms has forced the use of combined teaching as a reality, • The need is there to identify some basic specifications and requirements for effective instructional delivery in both multi-grade and multi-class settings.
Major Question: • What are the policies needed for establishing multi- grade and multi-class schools in Nepal? • What are the factors that determine a school as an MGT or MCT school? • What are the current issues/problems prevailing in MGT and MCT practices? • What basic specifications are required for the effective arrangement of Multi- grade and multi- class teaching? • What instructional approaches are necessary for MGT and MCT practices in Nepal?
Issues/ Challenges in curriculum development • MGT/MCT as a pedagogic choice or compulsory practice: • Need of appropriate pedagogical training and materials: • Curricular adjustment: • Availability of educational resources and support materials in the form of teacher input: • Teacher’s preparation and knowledge base: • Dichotomy of mono-grade and multi-grade teaching: • Monitoring and supervision of MGT activity:
Lessons Learned • As the practice of multi-class and multi-grade is strongly prevailing in the schools of Nepal, • MGT/MCT has been considered by majority of the teachers as an unwanted reality, • MGT training proved to the teachers is found to be inadequate, • As existing primary level curriculum is more subject based and grade oriented.
