CHAPTER: 9
 Pedagogical Analysis Based on Unit Analysis

A good syllabus is that in which contents items are divided onto different units which are further divided into sub units. It makes the teaching learning process easy and it also helps the teacher and the learners to feel more convenient from the teaching learning point of view. The approach of unit wise teaching, unit wise learning, and unit wise testing is called as unit approach. According to NCERT, “A unit of study may understand as a block of closely related subject matter which can conveniently be over viewed by the learners within a short span of time. The size of a unit could, of course, vary.”
(I)             Unit and its analysis: For making the teaching more effective and interesting a good teacher has to divide the full syllabus into some units as per his/her convenience. In a unit there is a interrelated subject matter. Here unit means to cover topic from syllabus and analysis means bifurcating a unit into sub units.
 (II)       Selection of objectives for the unit: For effective unit analysis it is expected that a teacher has to formulate unit wise instructional objectives in behavioural terms. The knowledge of subject matter helps the teacher in formulating instructional objectives. In unit analysis, not only the scholastic objectives but also the non-scholastic objectives should be fixed up.
 Scholastic Objectives
 Ã˜  Knowledge: (i) The students should have to know the differences between active and passive voice.                                                                                          
 (ii) They are able to recall and recognize how conversation of different types of sentences from active to passive and vice versa.
Ø  Understanding: (i) The students should have to understand the different rules for changing all type of sentences from active voice into passive voice. (ii) They have good understanding and they can clarify before others all about the rules and regulations of active and passive voice.
Ø  Skills: The learners are able to develop all the skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
Ø  Application: The students are able to apply the knowledge of active and passive voice in their real life situation in written and spoken.
Non Scholastic Objectives:
Ø  Personality development
Ø  Physical development
Ø  Social development.
Ø  Emotional development
(I)             Learning Experiences
Methods and Materials-: A variety of learning experiences will be provided to the students to make teaching effective and interesting. Materials will be presented by using activity method, group work etc. Teaching should be done first to the whole class, then by dividing the whole class into two or more groups. As per example when a teacher is going to teach about active and passive voice, first the teacher help to the whole class to know when to use the active and passive voice and the teacher also helps the students to know the following rules and regulations of Active and Passive Voice. The passive voice is formed with the suitable tense of the verb be followed by the past participle.
 
Then the teacher may divide the whole class into two groups. One student from first group will speak a sentence in Active Voice. After that, one student from other group will stand and speak the passive voice of that sentence. This type of practice will be carried on by taking up one type of sentence at a time. In such case, there is need of maximum participation of the students. The subject matter should be taken up tense wise.

Examples of matter are given below-:


       The learning experiences will be varying from subject to subject. So the English teacher has to plan according to his subject and available resources and prepare a outline of his teaching activity beforehand. For creating appropriate learning situation and for providing good learning experiences to the students, the teacher has to develop a sequence of teaching activity and prepare his lesson plan beforehand. The teaching objective will be achieved when the teacher able to provide appropriate learning experiences to the students. John Dewey advocated that a major task of the teacher is to generated learning situation, which will motivate to the students for performing certain activities. A teacher role is to organize and control all the teaching activities. All the learning experiences cannot be called as learning experiences. The following are the main aspects of learning experiences-:
·         Teaching objectives related to the topic.
·         Outline of the courses.
·         Teaching methods and techniques.
·         Maxims of teaching and aids of teaching.
·         Text books and home work.
·         Role of the teacher.
·         Relationship of the teacher with the students.
·         Effective communication skill.
·         Pedagogical knowledge of the teacher.
(II)          Evaluation
Evaluation plays a vital role in the process of teaching and learning. Evaluation is a continuous assessment of an individual. The concept of evaluation can be applied with the help of unit plan and yearly plan. Here all round development of an individual i.e scholastic and non-scholastic achievement is taken into account. The teacher should held weekly or bi-weekly test. The same proportion is to be maintained by testing situation in terms of number of items. Three type-: Essay type, Objective type and short answer type items are included in the test. The higher objectives can be tested with the help of essay type of items. There should be coordination between teaching and testing with the help of teaching objectives. The test used in evaluation approach should be reliable and valid.
(III)          Steps involved in the preparation and utilization of a Unit test
·                     Preparation of the questions according to the specified objectives and areas of the content.
·                     Developing a blue print regarding the form of the questions and the marks carried by each questions.
·                     Framing of questions.
·                     Assembling and editing the questions.
·                     Preparing a scoring key for objective type items and marking scheme for short answer and essay type items.
·                     Question-wise analysis should be undertaking.
