Conscientization programme - Problems of adolescence and their remedial measures.

REPORT  ON  CONSCIENTIZATION PROGRAMME 

                         As a part of our B.Ed curriculum we conducted a conscientization programme for the students of standard 9 E of St. John's High School, Eravipuram. The topic selected for the programme was 'PROBLEMS OF ADOLESCENCE AND THEIR REMEDIAL MEASURES' and we conducted it on 18th of January 2018. The other teacher trainees who accompanied for the programme was Simi.C from Physical Science and Reshma Baldwin from English.
                             
                          We presented the topic by giving the students a brief idea on adolescence and the topic was introduced by Simi. After that we divided the students into 4 groups and they were made to discuss among themselves the problems faced by each of them during the period of adolescence. Then representatives from each group discussed their views and shared their experiences in an interesting way.

                              Then we started our class on problems faced during adolescents. I gave them a detailed explanation on the physical, emotional and behavioural changes that takes place during adolescence and also gave stress on the impact of peer pressure and its consequences and remedial measure of each problem was also discussed. A video related to it was shown after these three points were discussed. 

                          Next Reshma discussed about substance abuse, educational changes, health problems and addiction of cyber space.Substance abuse and addiction of cyber space are two major points that were to be discussed with great concern according to the present scenario. Psychological changes, social changes, aggression and violence were then discussed by Simi and relevant videos were shown to the students.

    

    

                            Then we conducted an interactive session for 5 minutes where we had a friendly talk with them and they shared their views and experiences. Some of the students also suggested other remedial measures as well as steps  to reduce such problems. Towards the end of the programme, I gave an overall summary of the topic and students were given activity cards to write their feedback of the class. The students actively participated as well as responded well during the whole class and we were satisfied with our class.
