“AN EXPLORATORY STUDY FOR IDENTIFICATION OF COMPONENTS IN HOLISTIC REPORT CARD FOR PRIMARY TRAINEE TEACHERS”
Abstract
The Holistic Development of Primary Trainee Teachers is one of the most important concerns for society. All over the world societies are now becoming global villages and it is crucial to monitor the holistic development of the learner besides reporting the learner's academic growth. In the context of India, it is found that we cannot ignore the cultural as well as the Indian value-based system, which is required to maintain and flourish the identity of India all over the world. The components of the 360-degree report card as mentioned in the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) must-have components of 21st Century skills as well as must-have components of Indian value-based systems. Besides having the various components in the P-21 framework (USA), it is very necessary to identify the Indian Value-Based Skills. The P-21 consists of various components and India has a rich culture of Indian Value-Based system. In the P-21 framework the Life Skills and Career skills consist of 5 categories, Learning and Innovation skills consist of 3 categories whereas the last component of the P-21 framework, Information, Media, and Technology literacy consists of 3 more subskills. The prominent Indian value-based system has several components. Therefore, to find a holistic report card, a priority scale can be developed based on the learner's feedback. The Holistic Report Card has to be prepared and taken into consideration by both the Primary Trainee Teacher as well through the Teachers, both of which are key parts of the teaching-learning process. The development of the Transformative Amalgamated Assessment Approach (T3A) is the need of the hour, which will incorporate the voice of the various stakeholders in producing the 360-degree holistic report card of the learner.
