Curricular Activities:
Basically speaking activities encompassing the prescribed courses of study are called curricular or academic activities. In simple words it can be said that activities that are undertaken inside the classroom, in the laboratory, workshop or in library are called “curricular activities.” These activities are an integral part of the over-all instructional programme. Because in the organisation of these activities or programmes there lies active involvement of the teaching staff of the educational institution.
Curricular activities include:
(i) Classroom activities:
These are related to instruction work in different subjects such as classroom experiments, discussions, question-answer sessions, scientific observations, use of audio-visual aids, guidance programmes, examination and evaluation work, follow-up programmes etc.
(ii) Activities in the library:
It deals with reading books and magazines taking notes from prescribed and reference books for preparing notes relating to talk lessons in the classroom. Reading journals and periodicals pertaining to different subjects of study, making files of news-paper cuttings, etc.
(iii) Activities in the laboratory:
These refers to activities which are carried out in science laboratories, social science room (history and geography), laboratories in humanities (psychology, education, home science etc.).
(iv) Activities in the Seminars, workshops and conferences:
These activities refer to the presentations, discussions, performed by delegates and participants on emerging areas of various subjects of study in workshops, seminars and conferences.
(v) Panel discussion:
For enriching knowledge, understanding and experience of both the teachers and students panel discussion is essential, which would have be organised in the classroom situation. Organisation of this programme facilitates scope for interplay of expressions on the topic under discussion. After stating the various types of curricular activities it is essential to highlight the fact that academic or instructional work in any subject will be meaningless if it will not be accompanied by one or all of the above mentioned activities
