Foreword
Dear Teachers,
Maintenance and Repairs of Two Wheelers and Three Wheelers introduces the teacher to the main principles and practices of the revised pedagogy which is activitybased, process-oriented and learner-centred. The realisation that learning is not mere storing information in memory and that real learning is construction of knowledge through observation, comparison, classification and analysis has led us to give a new thrust to the teaching-learning process at Vocational Higher Secondary level to make it more meaningful and learner-friendly. This sourcebook has been developed primarily for the benefit of teachers who teach Maintenance and Repairs of Two Wheelers and Three Wheelers at Vocational Higher Secondary level. The subject matter has been dealt with utmost care, in tune with the revised curriculum and pedagogic principles. It is hoped that this book will enable the teacher to provide suitable learning activities for effective learning. The success of the approach depends upon the vision and commitment of the teacher. They are expected to make use of this sourcebook at all stages of their teaching process. It is also expected that the teacher would seek help and guidance from other sources like libraries and websites. Hope that this sourcebook will help the teacher to develop the skills and experience required for effective classroom transaction. Creative criticism and suggestions for improvement are most welcome. With regards,

GENERAL APPROACH
categories. They are 1. 2. 3. 4. skills for personal fulfilment skills for living in society skills for dealing with changing economies skills for dealing with changing work patterns.
Vocational Education ensures fulfilment of manpower requirement for national development and social security for the citizens through selfemployment. It also helps to reduce the migration of rural youth to urban areas and thus helps in rural development. The learners of Vocational Education get an opportunity to avail one year apprenticeship training in industries to improve their practical skill. During the course of study, on the job training (OJT) for 10 days in a year is arranged to improve the skill and efficiency of the learner. This education system motivates the attitude towards self employment through Production/ Service Cum Training Centres. (PTC)
10. To acquire awareness about different job areas and to provide backgrounds for acquiring higher level training in subjects concerned.
Learning
Learning is construction of knowledge through a continuous mental process. It is an advancement through adding and correcting in the light of comparing the new issue with the previously learned concepts. It is an intellectual process rather than the mere memorisation of facts. It is a conglomeration of a variety of activities like problem solving, finding out co-relations, prediction, arriving at conclusions, rational as well as critical thinking, finding applications, grouping for other possibilities and extracting the crux. When opportunities are provided for intellectual processes learning will become effective and intellectual ability will get strengthened.
the changing process, we have to imbibe the modern hypothesis regarding learner that they have
l l l l l l l l l l
Great curiosity Good imagination Numerous other qualities and interests Independent individuality Interest in free thinking and working in a fearless atmosphere. Interest in enquiring and questioning. Ability to reach conclusions after logical thinking. Ability for manifest and establish freely the conclusions arrived at. Interest for recognition in the society. Determination to face the interference of society and make components which is a part of social life.
When we consider the learning system, the domains to be stressed in education according to the modern development becomes relevant. The knowledge domain consists of
l l l l
Facts Ideas Laws The temporary conclusions and principles used presently by scientists.
Learning is a process. The continuous procedures we undergo to reach a particular goal is process. The skills which are parts of the process to analyze the collected ideas and proofs and come to a conclusion is called process skills. Some important process skills are
l l l l l l l l l l
To observe To collect data and record To classify To measure and prepare charts To experiment To predict To recognize and control the variables To raise questions To generalize To form a hypothesis and check.
In addition to this, consider the skills related to creative domain also, they are skills:
l l l l l l
To visualize To connect facts and ideas in new ways. To find out new and uncommon uses of objects To fantasize To dream To develop creative isolated thoughts
Again, the following factors consisting in the Attitudinal domain are also important as;
l l l l l l
Self confidence Love for scientific knowledge Attitude to know and value history Respect human emotions Decide with reasonable present problems Take logical decisions regarding personal values As regards the application domain the important factors are the ability to:
l l l l l
observe in daily life examples of ideas acquired. take the help of scientific process to solve the problems of daily life. choose a scientific life style connect the ideas acquired with other subjects. integrate the subjects with other subjects.
Some basic stands have to be taken on the new scientific knowledge about intelligence learning and teaching. When such basic concepts are accepted changes are required in the following factors.
l l l l
The vision, approach, structure and content of the curriculum. The vision, approach, structure and content of the textbooks. Role of the teacher and the learner. Learner atmosphere, learning materials and learning techniques.
Some scientific perspectives accepted by modern world in Educational Psychology are given below.
Constructivism
This approach puts forward the concept that the learner constructs knowledge. New knowledge is constructed when ideas are examined and practiced in new situations relating them with the previously acquired knowledge and experience. That is assimilated into the cognitive structure of ones knowledge. This method which gives priority to critical thinking and problem solving provides opportunity for self motivated learning.
Social Constructivism
Social constructivism is a branch of constructivism. Knowledge is formed, spread and imbibed and it becomes relevant in a social environment. Interactive learning, group learning, co-operative participatory learning, all these are concepts put forward by social constructivism. The main propounders of constructivism are Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner. Discovery learning and interactive learning have prime importance. Learning takes place as a part of the attempt for problem solving. The activities of a learner who confronts cognitive disequilibrium in a learning situation when he tries to overcome it leads to the renewal of cognitive structure. It is through this process construction of new knowledge and the assimilation of them take place. Observation and enquiry are unavoidable factors. The learner advances towards new areas of acquisition of knowledge where he tries to compare his new findings with the existing concepts. Learning is a live mental process. Rather than the ability for memorization of facts cognitive process has to be given emphasis. The process of problem analysis, elucidation, critical thinking, rational thinking, finding out corelation, prediction, hypothesis formation, application, probing for other possibilities, extracting the crux and other processes are of critical importance in learning. Constructivism gives greater predominance to co-operative learning. Social and cultural factors influence learning. Sharing of knowledge and experience among learners, collective enquiry, assessment and improvement, group activity and collaborative learning by sharing responsibilities with the objective of public activity, provide opportunity for effective learning. In learning internal motivation is more important than external motivation. The learner should have interest and initiative in learning. Learning situation should be capable of forming a sense of ownership in the learner regarding the learning process. Learning is not a linear process. It progresses in a spiralled way advancing deeper and wider.

2. Learning by discussion
Discussion leads to learning is Burners theory. Here discussion is not opposing each other. It is a sharing on the plane of ideas. New ideas are arrived at by seeking explanations, by mutual giving and taking of ideas and by problem solving.
4. Collaborative learning
This is the learning in which the responsibilities are distributed among the members of the group keeping common learning objectives. The common responsibility of the group will be successful only if each member discharges his duties. All the members will reach a stage of sharing the result of learning, equally through the activity with mutual understanding. The teachers who arrange collaborative learning will have to make clear the responsibilities to be discharged. This is possible through the discussion with the learners. Collaborative learning will help to avoid the situations of one person working for the whole group.
5. Co-operative learning
This is the learning in which the learners help one another. Those who have more knowledge, experience and competency, will help others. By this exchange of resources the learners develop a plane of social system in learning also. As there are no high ups and low ones according to status among the learners they can ask the fellow students doubts and for helps without any hesitation or in hesitation. Care should be taken not to lead this seeking of help to mechanical copying. It should be on the basis of actual needs. So even while encouraging this exchange of ideas, among the members of the group cautious acceptance is to be observed as a convention. There should be an understanding that satisfactory responses should come from each member
11
and that the achievement of the group will be assessed on the basis of the achievement of all the members
7. Scaffolding
It is natural that the learner may not be able to complete his work if he does not get support at the proper time. The learner may require the help of the teacher in several learning activities. Here helping means to make the learner complete the activity taking responsibility by himself. The teacher has to keep in mind the objective of enabling the learner to take the responsibility and to make it successful.
Retrieves/recollects/retells information Readily makes connections to new information based on past experiences and formulates initial ideas /concepts.

9. Intrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation is given more importance than extrinsic motivation. The teacher has to arouse the internal motivation of the learner. A person internally motivated alone can immerse in learning and own its responsibility.
12
2. Logical/mathematical Intelligence
Thinking rationally with causes and effect relation and finding out patterns and relations come under this area. Finding out relations, explaining things, sequential and arithmetical calculations etc. are capable of developing this area of intelligence.
3. Visual/spatial Intelligence
In those who are able to visualize models and bringing what is in the imagination into visual form and in philosophers, designers and sculptors this area of intelligence is developed. The activities like modelling using clay and pulp, making of art equipments, sculpture, and giving illustrations to stories can help the development of this ability.
5. Musical Intelligence
This is an area of intelligence which is highly developed in those who are able to recognise the different elements of music, in musicians and in those who can here and enjoy songs. Playing musical instruments, imitating the songs of musicians, listening silently to the rhythms and activities like this are capable of developing this area of intelligence.
6. Interpersonal Intelligence
Those in whom this area of intelligence is developed show qualities of leadership and behave with others in a noble manner. They are capable of understanding the thought or others and carrying on activities like discussion successfully.
13
7. Intrapersonal Intelligence
This is the ability to understand oneself. These people can recognise their own abilities and disabilities. Writing diaries truthfully and in an analysing way and assessing the ideas and activities of others will help developing this areas of intelligence
8. Naturalistic Intelligence
A great interest in the flora and fauna of the nature, love towards fellow beings interest in spiritual and natural factors will be capable of developing this area.
9. Existential Intelligence
The ability to see and distinguish ours own existence as a part of the universe, ability to distinguish the meaning and meaninglessness of life, the ability to realise the ultimate nature of mental and physical existences, all these are the peculiarities of this faculty of intelligence.
Emotional Quotient
The concept of emotional intelligence put forward by Daniel Golman is used in framing the new curriculum. The fact that ones Emotional Quotient (E.Q) is the greatest factor affecting success in life is now widely accepted. The teacher who aims to focus on improving the emotional intelligence of students need to concentrate on the following.
When different opinions, ideas and positions arise, the students may be given the responsibility to reach a consensus. Imagining what would be the course of action in some situtations, allowing to intervene in a healthy way in problems between individuals.
Developing the idea that there is reason and solution to any problem. Training in finding reasons for problems. Suggesting solutions through individual or group efforts. Discussing social problems. Analysing the shortcomings in methods to solve problems.
14
Whether plastic can be banned within school premises can be given as a problem. Group discussion will provide reasons and solutions. Problems, which can influence classroom learning and for which the learner can actively contribute solution need to be posed
l l l
Self awareness Empathy Inter personal relations Communication Critical thinking Creative thinking Decision making Problem solving Coping with emotion Coping with stress
Role of a Teacher
In the earlier approach the teacher was mainly depending on the lecture method for teaching. But in the new method of education the student centered approach is given more importance than the teacher centered approach. Under this changed scenario the teacher has to perform the following roles in the classroom. The teacher should be
l l l
A facilitator of learning A guide to the overall development of the student A good observer and motivator
15
Able to consider the activities, needs, special features and age group of students at higher secondary level. Able to understand the limitations of learner and their learning problems. An instructional material developer A good communicator An innovator Able to raise leadership qualities and self confidence of the learner An authoritarian in the concerned subject Able to arrest and sustain the attention of the learner Able to bring out and encourage the inborn talents. A resource manager to ensure the optimum utilisation of resources. A systematic record keeper A controller to issue guidance to the students A person with high level of practical competency Able to corelate area of study with familiar environmental situations A self evaluator and good listener Able to create awareness in social problems A person with democratic and humanitarian approach A professionalist as well as philosopher A good evaluator A good organisor and a friend. A co-learner as well as co-researcher Able to give assistance and advice in placement needs and self employment by giving moral and technical support Able to keep moral values A person equipped with skill for using new techniques of learning Optimistic and impartial

Students interact with teachers without fear Opportunity for a variety of activities Students allowed to involve interesting group activities Learning speed, learning style and different levels of attitudes are considered. Help is extended whenever needed. Sufficient instructional materials are available There is freedom of expression, students share their ideas and experiences Students are given acceptance and encouragement Healthy atmosphere Needs of each student is given consideration. Happy and energetic atmosphere Teachers work considering the rights of students Prtoblems handled in a patient way Teachers look at all events from the students view point
l l l l l

There will be students of various ability levels in any class because learning style, learning speed, varying exposure to language experiences, physical and psychological problems and varying socio-cultural background. The learning experiences provided must help to bring the low activities to an expected level and extended the breadth and depth of the skills of the high activities. By repeating experiences, introducing variations in a learning experience to suit different levels and if needed, formulating additional experiences the problem of varying ability levels can be tackled.
Physical, intellectual and emotional plans have intensive changes during the age and their reflections can be observed Ability to enquire discover and establish cause effect relationship between phenomena

Role of learner
l l l l l l l l l l l l
Active participant in the learning process Act as a researcher Sharer of information Sharer of responsibilities Collect information Takes leadership Involves in group work Act as a co-participant Observes his environment Experiments and realises Make interpretations and draw inferences Mould himself in to an active contributor for the welfare of the society
Evaluation
In vocational higher secondary education, a new approach to education and evaluation should be made. Evaluation must be a systematic and continuous process. As the curriculum is based on vocational stream, capacity building is a most important part and it should be evaluated accordingly. The technical skills, interest in the particular field, communication skill, analysing, organizing
18
and presentation skills etc have to be evaluated. The personal and social qualities also have to be evaluated. Therefore, evaluation should be transparent, continuous and comprehensive.
Supporting System
In learner centered vocational education, a learning methodology has to be organised and a proper learning atmosphere is to be provided. Many organizations can support the learning activity. They are:-
4. Local bodies
Grama Panchayat, District Panchayat and Block Panchayat can provide infrastructure ie, class rooms, laboratory, library, seminar hall, audiovisual equipments etc.
5. Subject club
All vocational teachers handling same vocational subjects should form a subject club at regional level or district level. This will helps to share the knowledge and practical facilities, production and marketing of materials, services etc.
6. Nodal Schools
Based on excellency, district wise nodal schools may be selected to provide facilities like central library, museums, video conferencing etc.
Monitoring system
Education is a sort of journey from darkness to light satisfying the needs and the wants of the individual and the society. The modernization of education through activity oriented system enhances free thinking and working in a fearless atmosphere. It is a qualitative process not a quantitative one. This
19
necessitates a proper monitoring system. The system of monitoring should have the following features.
l l l l l
It must be transparent. It must enrich the ideas of the facilitator through innovative process. It must be time bound and rational. It must motivate the facilitator to adopt new strategies. It must be recordable and ensure effective feedback for the effective monitoring of the system, three levels of the mechanism should be set up. 1. 2. 3. School level monitoring group. Regional level monitoring group. State level monitoring group
A continuous mental process Simple-learner must feel that he is able to undertake the task Enable the learner to attain the curriculum objective Interesting Suitable to the age and attitude of the learner Future possibilities Enable group activity Challenging Time bound Constructive and curiosity developing Possibilities for evaluation Capacity to generate independent thinking Ability to enquire, discover and establish cause effect relationship between phenomena.

Learning Aids
To make the teaching and learning process simple and effective , certain learning aids and necessary use of such aids for transacting a complex idea make the class room live and students get more and more involved. The advances in science and technology may be effectively utilised for this purpose. Some of the learning aids are listed below.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l
Multimedia Over Head Projector Computer Internet Liquid Crystal display Projector TV, VCD, DVD and tape recorders Working models Charts Slides Video Conferencing facility Library Text book Source book
Society
The new educational policy uplifts the social commitment of the learner. Therefore the society can also give some valuable contributions in this changing situation. The new system also ensures that the learner can perform certain useful services for the betterment of society. The social obligations can be illustrated as follows.
l l
To enrich social values, aptitude and ability in learner To develop entrepreneurial aptitude and ability which helps social welfare and self employment New system of education adopts OJT, PTC etc as a part of vocational curriculum which helps to make close contact with the society. The resources available from our society can be positively utilised to convene seminars, interview etc. Social organisations can help learners to make their education socially committed. The social clubs like NSS, Tourism Club, Eco Club, Energy Club etc functioning in schools can make direct link with the society.

LEARNING STRATEGIES
In the modern era of globalization the introduction of new technologies ensures only the survival of the fittest. So it becomes a necessity to equip the learners to face the growing challenges in the competitive world. Hence the traditional approach to learning is no more relevant in the present context. The teacher should use instructional techniques that motivate the student to construct his own knowledge. Now the learners are not passive listeners , but they are the active participants in the construction of knowledge. Here the teacher student interaction should be given much importance. In the new instructional strategy while selecting the methods of teaching, the social and psychological aspects of the learner is to be taken into consideration. The given activities for learning are only suggested one. It can be altered according to the discretion of the teacher. To obtain the objectives, the new system of education is introduced in the Vocational Higher Secondary Education for attaining the objectives of the courses in this system, we can adopt the following strategies.
1. Assignment
Assignment is some specific work assigned to the students as a part of their academic enrichment. There are learning activities undertaken as a continuation of class room activities to realize the curriculum objectives to a broader extent . They should be completed in time bound manner. They help to lead learner to higher level of learning from the present status. Challenging assignment can motivate the students to involve in group dynamics and achieve fruitful results . The teachers may act as a guide. Assignments may be given on individuals or group basis. Assignment includes preparation of notes, preparation of charts, models, collection, of materials from institutions etc. Assignment develop skills of reference, observation, enquire reporting etc. It ensure the effective utilization of leisure time of the students.
22
2. Seminar
Seminar is a learning strategy involving an in-depth analysis of specific topic, preparation of a paper and presentation . The paper is presented by either one student or a group of students. After the presentation, there will be a discussion/ interaction in which all the students can participate . The students get an opportunity to clear their doubts and make clarification.Seminar helps to develop communication skill and overcome stage fright.
Stages
i. Selection of Topic The topic of seminar should be relevant to the subject of study ii. Assignment of topic to individual student or team The topic may be assigned to one student or subtoipcs may be given to a group of students iii. Collection of relevant information Information required for seminar can be collected from various sources namely books, magazines, internet, institutions, place and persons. iv. Preparation of draft paper Based on the information collected the student may prepare a draft paper and submit it to the teachers for comments. Revise the draft paper based on the comments of the teachers. The required drafts is submitted for approval. v. Programme Scheduling The date, time and venue of the seminar is fixed. A seminar leader may be selected from the students vi. Seminar paper presentation The student/ students shall present the paper in the seminar. The teacher may function as the moderator during the initial stages. vii. Discussion / Interaction Welcome maximum number of responses from the students. Make comments on the topic. This will be followed by a general discussion. All the group members should actively participate in discussion. viii. Summing up deliberation The moderator sums up the deliberation
23
ix. Evaluation / Feed back Both teachers and students evaluate the programme. x. Preparation of final report A final seminar report is prepared covering all the additional points discussed and consolidated.
3. Panel Discussion
It is a learning strategy in which a panel of experts are allowed to discuss a specific subject under the control and direction of a moderator. Subject can be divided according to the number of panel members. Number of panel members are fixed according to subdivision of points in the subject. Relevant materials and hand out may be given in advance to the learners. The monitor or moderator introduces the subject of discussion and invite a panel member to start the discussion. Each panel member is invited for discussion afterwards. After briefing by the panel members the question are raised from the audience and the panel members give suitable answer to them. A report should be submitted by each learner to the moderator .
4. Project
Project is a self-learning strategy which can exert great influence on the overall development of the learner. Project as learning strategy is to be selected where a problem arises in any part of the curriculum. The students may be divided into groups and assigned different aspects of the problem. Each group works independently .Specific aspects of the problem such as data collection, classification, analysis, report preparation and presentation is to be undertaken by each of the members. Even though the work is divided among the members, it must be ensured that the execution of each and every activity is done with the active participation of all. After analyzing data collected from different sources, the learner arrives at a conclusion that can help to solve the problem. Thereby learner learns the topic through his own activity. The other advantage of this learning activities is that it helps the learner to scientifically handle any problematic situation. It helps in the development of scientific thinking and thereby builds up the students aptitude for the subject.
24
V. Preparation of Report
The cover page should have the title of the project, the period of study, name (s) of investigator / group, and the address of the school. The report should be structured in the following order.
l l l l l l l l l
Title Preface Hypothesis and aim Methodology Sources of data Analysis and conclusion Suggestions (if any) References Appendices (Questionnaire, Observation schedule, check list Etc.)
25
The project methods promotes scientific self learning and makes him capable of solving the problem arising in real life situations.
5. Debate
Debate is a hot and interesting learning activities. A debate can be organized only on a topic on which there is difference of opinion. Therefore a topic suitable for debate has to be found. Debate can be on relevant topic that is different and interesting to the students and relevant to society. Students with different opinion have to be identified for discussion. Those who have similar opinion should join together to form a side . Those who hold the opposite view will form the other side. It would be good to write down the topic of the debate and displayed in advance. There should also a person to control debate. Students should be given opportunity to absorb the ideas obtained from discussion and debate, develop the idea through reading and study, and to express them through writing or other means
Stages of Debate
l l l l l
Topic Selection Selection of panels keeping in balance with intelligence, gender etc. Selection of moderator Collection of information guided by the teacher Conducting the debate under the control of moderator by avoiding any sort of personal conflicts Conclusion by the moderator expressing his final version or verdict.
6. Case Study
A case may be a person, institution or a community. Case study is an indepth analysis of an actual event or situation. It presents real pictures of situation with facts, information or data . Learners analyse the case to interpret, predict and resolve issues associated with it. The case study provides the learner an opportunity to analyse and apply concepts, data and theory taught from the class. Learners can work individually or in groups. By studying realistic cases in the classroom, students develop new insights into the solution of specific on the job problem and also acquire knowledge of the latest concepts and principles used in problem solving. Case may be presented by the teacher or may be provided in print form. A simple case study may have the following steps
l l
26
Analysis of the case in groups Presentation of the finding by each group leader. Evaluation
In addition to the above mentioned learning strategy there are many other learning strategies which can be used in appropriate situations to enrich leaning process such as problem solving, Role play, brain storming, debate etc.
7. Brain Storming
This is the best method for solving creative problems. It facilitates generation of ideas quickly. Rules for conducting Brain storming.
l l l l
No response is wrong. So welcome every response. Welcome as many responses as possible No criticism is allowed Allow to work on others idea
Pressentation of the problem Provide relevant information Record the ideas put forth by the participants Combine similar ideas Evaluate each idea/ solution Selection of the best solution
8. Discussion
Discussion is essential for the student to share new finding, idea and conclusion at each stage of learning with fellow students and teachers. In general discussion the teachers should guide the discussion though questioning and summarizing. The major steps involved are
l l l l
Introduction initiated by the teacher Development of discussion by giving lead points and follow up interactions Transition stage in which the key points are reviewed by the teacher and Summarizing stage in which teacher provides additional support materials to ensure the achievement of the objectives
27
9.Group Discussion
Group discussion is an ideal method to develop Co-operation, democratic attitude, friendliness and compromising attitude which are the ultimate aims of education. During group discussion the teacher may observe each group and if needed help them to Channel the discussion towards the common objectives. All students may be given opportunity to take part and express their ideas within a time limit. The conculsion reached may be entered by each student. A group representative must present this during consolidation in which the teacher may correct or add information to ensure that all the relevant ideas have been covered
10. Collection
Collection is a continuous learning activity, which ensure complete participation of students. The Collected item may be materials, pictures, charts, ideas, data etc. Collection provides direct experience to learners. An exhibition of collected materials will help to strengthen the concept.
10. Quiz
Quiz programme can be used as an interesting class room tool for transaction of curriculum objectives as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of transaction and achievement of students. For conducting a quiz programme a topic should be selected based on the above objective The students are asked to prepare question based on the topic individually. The next day / next hour the students are grouped into 3-4 groups randomly. A question is raised by a particular team and the other teams to answer them. If they can answer the question they get points for that . If all other teams fail to answer the question raised by the team, then the team itself answers the question and explain the background if necessary. All the teams get equal number of chances to ask the question . Time limit is also prescribed for the
28
conduction of the programme. The team who scores maximum points wins All the participants can make notes on the questions asked, answers and their explanation which help them in learning
13. Models
Models are used in learning process. It enhances the learing experience. This is based on seeing is believing. It helps the learner a chance to see and feel the model presented . Still models and working models help the students to understand the structure , working principles, actual operation etc. Steps involved in model preparation are
l l l l
Feeling the problem Planning the type of model according to cos Grouping the students Briefing the tasks - Aim - Need - Material required - Source of Materials - Cost of materials - Division of Labour - Guidance - Fixing of a time limit
Presentation by each group about - How the models were prepared - Details of - Expenses - Working and principles
l l
14. Games
Class rooms can be made attractive by introducing different types of games. Games should be interesting as well as informative. Some of suitable games are 1. 2. Odd man out Cross word puzzles
29
3. 4. 5.
15. Survey
This strategy involves collection of data from a group under study (books, persons, materials etc.) It develops the social interaction and communication ability of the learner. It also provide a scope for discovery learning.
Objective of survey Selection of area for survey/sampling frame Selection of survey method - Direct method - With help of questionnaire/schedule
l l
16. Exhibition
It is a learning strategy by which the learner can get a chance to show the skill developed. It provides the intrinsic motivation and exposure. Exhibition item can be conducted either individually or as a group task. It can be conducted at school / Regional/State/National Level. Necessary publicity and other arrangement can be provided. Presentation, documentation participation and innovative skills of the learner can be evaluated.
17. Interview
Interview is one of the important learning strategy taking the help of a resource person. Interview is an innerview. It provide opinion and information about a topic. An interview is conducted through the following steps
l l l l l l
Introducing a problem? Invite a resource person Decide the questions by learners Decide the time, place etc. How to discuss ? How many students to participate?
30
7. 8.
Interview Schedule should be prepared before conducting an interview . It contains list of questions prepared by learners, Selection of students, selected names sequence of question etc.
20. Demonstration
Through demonstration we can present an item/product and emphasize its features very effectively Eg:- To understand the functioning of a computer Demonstration Process includes
l l l l l
Introduction about the item/Material Principles Working Operation Components Merits of the item
31
A learner gets clear idea about the concept The leaner can retain the ideas in his mind for longer periods A complicated idea can be simplified though a chart Cheap method of teaching aid.

Introduction
SUBJECT APPROACH
Speed is governing the world. It is a thrill and necessity for human race. To adjust with the speed in movement, we have to depend totally on the automobiles. A world without automobile is a dead world. Our dependence on automobile is not only with respect to speed but for development purpose also. It is a fast growing business inthe world. It provides employment for thousand of people and large number of people gets livelihood from this industry. The different materials used for automobile industry are also sources of employment. When an industry or business flourishes, the related fields will also flourish. This development is in the fiels of manufacturing sales, service, maintenance and repairing of automobiles. Automobile industry is a fast advancing area of development. The business of making and servicing automobiles has become one of the biggest businesses in the world. An automobile industry employs thousands of men and women directly. Also 'because of the enormous quantities of raw materials such as steel, cloth, glass and rubber, that the auto industry uses, it provides jobs for millions of other people in related industries. Two important landmarks in the history of Indian automobile industry were the advent of Maruti in 1981 and the liberalization of Economy by Government of India in 1992. By the latter, the license restrictions for establishing carmanufacturing facilities were removed, excise and import duties were lowered and the import of auto components and raw materials were brought under OGL. As a result, many reputed vehicle manufactures from all over the world have already opted to enter India through joint ventures. To them India offers considerable attractions - a large domestic market, low cost manufacturing base and abundant availability of skilled manpower. India is the second largest two-wheeler producer in the world. Divided into Scooters, Motorcycles and Mopeds segments, the market has been traditionally dominated by the Scooter, mainly due to its positioning as the family vehicle. The fastest growing segment of two-wheeler industry is that of the Motorcycle. On the other hand, three-wheelers are the most commonly used commercial vehicle of ordinary people. In August 2005, while the overall growth of Indian
48
automobile industry was almost 18%, over to the same month of previous year, the three-wheeler segment alone grew by almost 29%. This explains the relevance of specialized study of two-wheelers and three wheelers. Recently, the automobile industries in India produced more than 30 lakhs automobiles every year. There are also thousands of engine-powered machines built each year for agricultural, construction and manufacturing operations. Small engines are also made for lawn movers, power saws, snow removers and similar equipments. One of the most important jobs in the world today is to keep all these powered equipments operating and only trained people can do that. Men who know how to service and repair automobiles, have great opportunities for better career in automobile industries. A golden age of automobiles is in store-both for the technician and for the skilled labours.
Course Objective
The prime objective of the course is to equip the student with innovative technologies and skill necessary to perform maintenance and repairs of automobiles, especially, two and three wheelers. By maintenance and repairs, we mean periodic checking of various parts of the automobile, making adjustments to the different mechanisms when necessary, replacing and reconditioning parts when they wear out or gets damaged, and keeping the automobile in perfectly running order as a new one. The learner achieves selfsufficiency in repairing and maintenance; through this finds his employment and can have a decent life in the society. Moreover, the student can seek further availability in higher education, if he is interested.
Curriculum Objectives
1. To learn the construction, function and working of various units in an automobile. 2. To understand the possible defects and their symptoms in different areas of automobiles, in particular, two and three wheelers. 3. To develop skills for providing periodic and systematic maintenance to automobiles. 4. To develop manpower having technical knowledge and skill in this field. 5. To make him adept in managing an industry or self-employment unit. 6. To get sociability in character through individual and social relationship. 7. Acquire power of observation, experimental skill, knowledge of data, analysis, and interpretation etc. and the ability to generate knowledge. 8. Acquire the ability to solve problems facing in the day-to-day life, environmental issues, social problems etc.
49
9. Equip the students for higher studies and cop up with the growing demands in the employment mark.
Learning Approach
The student should change their role from a passive listener to an active participant in the teaching learning process. The teacher should be a guide or facilitator who assists students to acquire knowledge. A student can understand basics of automobile, only if it is taught through activities and experiments. This learner-centered and activity based approach is the important feature of the new curriculum.

EVALUATION
Evaluation is a systematic process of collecting, analysing, synthesising and interpreting evidences of students progress and achievements both in cognitive and non-cognitive areas of learning. Evaluation has to play significant role in making the learning process more effective. It provides diverse experience to the learners, keeping in view the skill to be attained continuously by them. As the curriculum is based on a particular vocation the selected stream is the most important part and it should be evaluated accordingly. Technical skills, interest and devotion in the field, communication skills, organisational skill and presentation skills are to be evaluated. Evaluation of the personal and social qualities also should be done. So the evaluation should be continuous and comprehensive.

Grading
Continuous Evaluation is essential for activitybased learning process. But the skills achieved by the students cannot be completely measured in terms of marking system. Marking system proved unscientific in evaluating
the gowth and development of individual students both in cognitive and noncognitive areas. To overcome this limitation, a popular mode of evaluating students performance known as grading system has been introduced. A 9 point scale absolute grading system is used to record the evaluation. The score percentage and corresponding letter grade is given below:
