receive the knowledge
being presented.
CURRICULUM TRANSACTION

•Learning load instead of teaching work load

•More flexible
•Rapidly updating
•Variety in assignment
•Scope for self learning
 CURRICULUM TRANSACTION

Curriculum transaction is effective implementation of

lesson plans in classrooms. A lot of thought goes in
planning and preparing the lesson plans. Children will
benefit only if the implementation is strong, whether it
be circle time, project work, subject time or music
time; a teacher's effort should be to reach out
effectively to each child in the group. Lesson plans are
prepared much in advance and usually there is a gap
between preparation and implementation. Children
listen to some teachers and are receptive, while the
same group of children could respond differently to
another teacher.
CURRICULUM TRANSACTION

This is also to do with meaningfully engaging children

and stimulating their thought processes. Some of the
requirements of effective curriculum transaction are:
• Planning
•Clarity of thought
•Organizing
•Knowing how we will transact
•Review of the work
•Team responsibility
•Addressing different levels of children
•Knowing, observing and understanding children at all
times
•Time management
•Room set up
Role of Teachers
•Teachers remain central to the learning
process
A shift in the role of a teacher utilizing ICTs to
that of a facilitator does not obviate the need
for teachers to serve as leaders in the
classroom; traditional teacher leadership skills
and practices are still important (especially
those related to lesson planning, preparation,
and follow-up).

•Lesson planning is crucial when using ICTs

Teacher lesson planning is vital when using
ICTs; where little planning has occurred,
research shows that student work is often
unfocused and can result in lower attainment.
Role of Teachers

Pedagogy
• Introducing technology alone will not change the teaching
and learning process
•ICTs seen as tools to help teachers create more 'learner-
centric' learning environments
•ICTs can be used to support change and to support/extend
existing teaching practices
•Using ICTs as tools for information presentation is of
mixed effectiveness
•Teacher technical abilities and knowledge of ICTs

•Preparing teachers to benefit from ICT use is about more

than just technical skills
•One-off training' is not sufficient

•Few teachers have broad 'expertise' in using ICTs in their

teaching
Roles and Responsibilities of Teachers in
Education
1.Technical Support - This will include:
• Knowledge about the basic requirements of a system for installing the
Operating System and the Learning Management system
• Familiarity with the functioning of IT and the software applications
being introduced in the course. Knowledge about tasks such as
navigation in Model, creation of courses, creation of user accounts,
enrolment of users, participation in forums on the platform and so on.
2.Non-technical Support – This will include:
• Assistance to the students in respective schools with regard to the
Course content
• Familiarity with the objectives of the course.
• Thorough knowledge about the Curricula on which the course is based.
• Familiarity with the five themes (Programming, Graphics, Internet and
the ICT Environment, Data Representation and Processing and Audio
Visual Communication) introduced in the course for students and the
activities designed to run this course.
Role of Student
• ICT has the potential to be used as a supportive educational
tool enabling students learning by doing. ICT can make it
possible for teachers to engage the student in self paced, self
directed problem based or constructive learning experiences
and also test students learning in new interactive and assess
their understanding of the content That is student learn How to
learn not just What to learn.

• Computer Aided Instruction’ has been seen to slightly “improve

student performance on multiple choice, standardized testing in
some areas Computer Aided (Assisted) Instruction (CAI)”, which
refers generally to student self-study or tutorials on PCs, has
been shown to slightly improve student test scores on some
reading and math skills, although whether such improvement
correlates to real improvement in student learning is debatable.
Role of Student

• Need for clear goals ICTs are seen to be less effective

(ineffective) when the goals for their use are not clear.
“While such a statement would appear to be self-evident,
the specific goals for ICT use in education are, in practice,
are often only very broadly or rather loosely defined”.
