Book 1: Guiding Children: Role of Teachers and Parents
This is the first block in first course of the
programme - CERTIFICATE IN GUIDANCE (CIG). Here? an attempt has been made to present the wholistic
view of guidance, specifically in relation to the function of education. The
block as a whole emphasizes the prominent role of teachers and parents and
their interaction in the physical, cognitive, social and. emotional development
of children.
This block consists of two units - Introduction
to Guidance and Role of Parents and Teachers in Guiding Children.
In the first unit, i.e., Introduction to
Guidance, the meaning of guidance and need for guidance at the elementary school
have been discussed. A brief explanation is included on the testing techniques
of collecting information regarding children. Some of the techniques like sociometric devices, autobiography, rating scales, anecdotal records have been introduced with suitable
illustrations as means of gathering information about children. The guidance
activities that can be organized without much difficulty have been suggested.
The second unit, i.e., Role of Parents and
Teachers in Guiding Children, focuses on' understanding of physical, health,
social-emotional needs and problems of elementary'
school children. The 'need for co-operation between parents and teachers has
been' emphasized for better understanding of the child. The place of home and
school in facilitating the all-round development of a child has also been
highlighted.
Book 2: Principles and Factors in Child Development
This Block consists of three units: Profile of
an Elementary School Child, Principles of Development, and Factors Affecting
Development. The first Unit gives a general picture of the elementary school
child and the various aspects of development such as cognitive, social,
emotional, language, physical and motor development This Unit also gives a
brief explanation of the concept of development in relation to the human life.
The details of different aspects of development come in later units.
Each aspect of the development deals with the
development of the specific characteristic in the child and each of these
aspects have their own characteristic features and
patterns. Yet, each of these aspects follows a pattern or certain principles
which are common to all. These principles are elaborated in the unit oil Principles
of Development.
The unit on the Factors Affecting Development
tells us of the different factors affecting the child's development in general.
The factors are categorised as hereditary factors. pre-natal
factors and environmental factors.
These three units together are to be seen as
the unifying forerunners required to understand the
units to follow in the subsequent Blocks.' The information of the Principles of
Development and Factors 'Affecting Development are essential in understanding
the specific development of-different aspects of development (cognitive.
language, physical. motor. social and so on). The learner will be required to
integrate the knowledge of these units in understanding the later units.
Book 3: Dimensions of Development
Block three consists of three units that deal
with physical and motor development, cognitive. and
language development, and social, emotional and moral development. Unit 6, which : is on Physical and Motor
Development, discusses the characteristics of physical ; development, mainly
focusing on height, weight, physical proportions, bones, muscles, fat 'and
development of teeth. Further, it discusses the factors affecting this
development and its influence on personality. The discussion on motor abilities
and skills includes the development of prehension and
handedness.
An attempt has been made in Unit 7 on Cognitive and Language Development to discuss a few basic ideas
related to developmental stages as propounded by Piaget. It emphasizes the
first three stages of cognitive development, distinguishing between the factors
that characterize early and later stages of cognitive development. It also
describes the language development and distinguishes between the early and
later stages of language development. It highlights the interrelationship
between the· cognition and language. A discussion has also been made on
multilingualism and factors affecting language development.
Unit 8 discusses
Social, Emotional and Moral Development in children. It highlights
interrelationships among them through presentation of cases. An analysis of the
case lets presented offers an interesting beginning
point in understanding the features of social, emotional and moral development
among children. It also discusses in detail the patterns of development in
these domains. The discussion is on the role of parents and teachers, and the
kind of the role models that they provide to children, which influence these
aspects of development. It further discusses, the kind
of inputs that they ought to provide in the form of activities, which will help
them in promoting a balanced development of these in children.
