Concept based Continuum of
Graded Syllabi
Language & Literature
|
Consists of seven syllabi (in bilingual form) developed as working models meant for primary, upper primary, secondary,
higher secondary, graduate, post-graduate, and research levels of education. Though the structure of formal
education being followed in this country is similar in terms of number of years, it is not the case in respect of academic
quality especially in language education.
As a result, maintaining parity in academic quality across the
courses in various Indian languages at any given level of education becomes
unviable for the purposes of certification, admission,
|
|
employment, etc., under the union government. Hence, a common frame of reference has been evolved by formulating a concept
based continuum of graded syllabi for language & literature, after conducting a field study involving about 3000
students and 250 teachers across 7 levels of education in Tamilnadu and Pondichery.
This, after extending to other languages, would facilitate maintain comparability among the courses of the same grade in various Indian
languages, in terms of content inputs, and consequential outputs as perceived by various Taxonomies of Educational Objectives. It would
also help to have a provision for an
|
|
|
intra language comparability across the courses within a State or UTs, and inter-language
comparability across the languages of the country at any given level of education, without however affecting the individuality
of the language concerned.
This in turn, would help to derive a continuum of compartmentalized proficiency expected
to be achieved at every level of education, thus paving way for giving a concrete shape to the hither-to unstated assumptions
by eliminating the age old problem of content overlapping among the language courses at
|
|
various levels. This series of materials will be useful to the educational planners at the national level, members of the BOS in universities / autonomous
colleges, and school education boards of different systems.
