Abstract:
Looking to the difficulties in learning mathematics felt by the learners, learning
gaps and guidelines of NCF (2005), in the year 2016-17, a 12 weeks short-term
course was conducted for teachers/teacher educators in a split model comprising
of three phases. In the first phase, a two week face-to-face training programme
was organized to provide training to KRPs on the developed course material
(2015-16). In the second phase, KRPs visited schools to undertake the practical
assignments in the real classroom situations and a report based on their
assignment was submitted. A team of resource persons of the short-term course
analyzed and assessed the assignments of KRPs. The third phase consisted of
two weeks programme which was organized in face-to-face mode wherein
KRPs discussed and shared their experience gained in I" and 2 nd phases. This
program was an attempt to solve the practical problems faced in teaching of
mathematics through the short term in-service course. In the short-term course
28 teachers from MP and 07 from CG (Total 35) were trained which belonged
to 35 schools (One Teacher from each school).
