Work Integrated Learning - Ajay Vijayvargi

It is a pedagogical practice whereby students come to learn from the integration of experiences in

educational and workplace settings. It basically consists of three steps:

Systematic Training

Structured Work Experience and

Institutional Partnerships.

Systematic Training – The workplace for a person can be the best place to be trained as there he will be exposed to real-life situations and environment, so the learning will be stepwise as he will be trained from a beginner to an expert. It can be difficult to provide these conditions at some other place. E.g. apprenticeship.

Structured Work Experience – This will help in making him familiar with the work during a +2 education program and can be in the form of field experiences, internships or professional practices at the workplace.

Institutional Partnerships – The +2 education should be added to service learning in an institution so that community and service goals can be achieved. Some examples of Work Integrated Learning are - Work-Study, Sandwich Courses, Practicum. Placement, Field Experiences and Internships etc.

Responsibility and Cooperation - Richa Solanki

When we get responsibility we become more confident in ourselves. We can also control the situation. It develops respect for other people and also self-respect and we will feel freedom. In childhood, we don't know what is our responsibility but when we grow up, then we understand, that a lot of things in our lives depend on our actions and we are responsible for the act or task we do.

The responsibility helps to develop such qualities as freedom and confidence in us and we should also teach this value to students. When we are responsible for something, we should give our best efforts to complete that and this will improve our self and our self-control will help us to become more organized and responsible in life.

Making your own decision means setting goals and how to reach there. It means we should be responsible for all our words, actions and even thoughts. The possibility to promise something and to do it on time makes the person reliable. If the person does not want to take any responsibility, he could not face difficult situations in life. It is very difficult to be a responsible person, but you will get the respect of other people if you are responsible and people will corporate with you if you are responsible. Cooperation is connected with responsibility. It makes our task easier because the duties of the tasks are distributed to team members. People who cooperate can do great things, cooperation is very useful in the modern world because people cooperate with each other to do the work in a systematic way. A cooperative society is very useful because it builds trust and makes you responsible for society and our environment. If we work with the cooperation we can achieve everything Richa Solanki The Fabindia School rsi@fabinidiaschools.in

Discipline shapes one's Personality - Bharti Rao

Discipline means order or code of behaviour which is the key to success. If you want to be successful you need to inculcate a sense of duty and obedience of life. Self-discipline is essential not only in the student’s life but also in all walks and ages of life. If you are not disciplined and do have a structure, then your life will be full of chaos and confusion.

Self-discipline needs to be inculcated very early in life. It helps us to build self-confidence, balances our personality and helps us to inculcate good work ethics. Discipline is a must both in schools, home or our workplaces. In today’s world where we see cut-throat competitions and as time is precious; there is a need for us to be disciplined. 

Concentration also comes through self-discipline and this will help us to scale new heights. We need to be disciplined both in our personal and private life. Discipline helps us to create an order which helps us to perform in a systematic way. Disciplined life helps in time management. So, if we want to be successful we need to aim to be more self-disciplined.
