PREFACEA

s a student of Education, we all know that education means positive change of behavior which is endorsed by the society. To bring positive change in behavior, it is important to give the students idea of right action along with knowledge. It is widely agreed that the purpose of education is that students shall be trained not only to know the right things but also to behave in the right way. A close relationship between right knowledge and right action is sought for – Here the former is mostly taken care by the Curricular Activities and the latter part is taken care mostly by the Co-curricular Activities.

The academic or the curricular activities are mainly cognitive in nature and concentrate on intellectual development of the students. However, the objective of education is not confined to intellectual development only but also an all-round development of personality, i.e., emotional, physical, psychological and social development.

1 | P a g e

Co-curricular activities are very significant in student life. These activities help the students to open and spread their mind in different aspects of life. This also helps the students to relax after long hassle of home works, tests and examinations. By taking part in the co-curricular activities, they can bring out the concealed treasures in them at various fields like dance, music, drama, painting, games and many more.

The curriculum of IER tried to follow the principles of education which combines both curricular or academic aspect and co-curricular aspects. IER includes a practicum semester for 6 months in some chosen schools. In this time each trainee has to organize co-curricular activities for the students in the class or in the school. He/she has to organize rehearsal classes and one final show in presence of the students, school head and other teachers of the school and the trainee’s school coordinator and supervisors. It is compulsory for all student of IER.

INTRODUCTION

ducation is not only to gain academic knowledge but also to develop all sorts of potentials hidden inside a human being. We got in touch with little souls full of possibilities and enthusiasm while teaching in University Laboratory School and

College. As a part of our activity, we arranged a cultural program in the school. Along with our students I was really looking for that event to take place.

EWe were glad to know that this school gives the students ample opportunities to practice different types of co-curricular activities. There we arranged a cultural program, a math Olympiad Competition, a creative display competition, Dress as you like competition, an art competition & an essay writing competition for the students. This report will focus on these co-curricular activities.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

our co-curricular activity and all came to a conclusion that we will arrange a cultural

program with our students. At the ending point of our

Practicum Teaching, we had meeting on the type and

topic of the program as Co-curricular Activity. With

We used the hall room of the school for our program. We took chairs for the guests and students. Md. Kamrul Hasan, Kamrul Islam and me went for shopping together for the room decoration.

We need to hire sound system as the school had no sound system. Principal Sir helped a lot in this case. He gave us the permission to hire a sound system and use.

We rented the sound system from Katabon Market for the day. They provided us all sorts of sound equipment to run the program. The quality of sound system was good enough. Kamrul Hasan, Kamrul Islam and I were gone there to arrange it.

foods together.

After all the performances were over the entire group of trainee-teachers hailed the stage together and bowed the students’ goodbye. The students acknowledged our departure with huge rounds of applauds. After concluding the ceremony we met them for the last time, it was a heart-melting situation. They were very upset about our parting with them and made us promise to return to meet them again whenever possible.

MY ROLE IN THE PROGRAM

It was a group work to organize the program successfully. We take a lot of preparation and work hard to make the program wonderful. And we are very happy for the reason that all the students and teachers praised the program and appreciated it. My role in the whole program was co-ordination. I along with Kanij Mehjanin Mitu prepared the Budget. Took the cost accounts properly. I contracted with the Decorator for the stage and chair and everyone of us took every plan together. I coordinate the rehearsal time of different items of the program. Infact it was very hard to take all these preparation during the school time. I and Hasan Al Zubaer Rony took the initiative to give the participants certificates. There were lot of obstacles in front of us and we all have to overcome those. I am happy to say that we had organized the program successfully.

CONCLUSION

At last, we had successfully finished the cultural show without any hamper. For this, we thanked our teachers, school-teachers, staffs and mostly our students. I think, every school should organize and encourage students to participate in such co-curricular activities regularly. These activities help to grow congenial relationship among students and teachers. Moreover, these events build confidence among the students that they can take the challenge of the competitive world.

The participants said that they are highly benefited by the program and are looking forward to arrange such programs in the future. All the viewers agreed that they have enjoyed a lot.
