CUMULATIVE RECORD 
AND GUIDANCE

The cumulative record is a confidential and systematic accumulation of significant factual information about an individual student while at school.It is a readily available permanent data about a child.

It is progressively developed and maintained over a sufficient period of time a give a summarized growth record indicating the direction and rate of development .The information written in  cumulative record is collected from different sources over a period of time.It contain useful and reliable information about the student   that may enable providing education ,vocational ,personal guidance and assistance to the student during the period of his stay in the school.
 
uses of cumulative record for a teacher as well as a guide
  • Helpful in student classification
  • Provides complete school history of the student
  • Helpful in making certificates
  • Helps in problem solving
  • Helps in proving personal guidance 
  • Helps in providing vocational guidance
  • Helpful in self-assessment
  • Helpful for employers
  • Helpful for giving individual attention
  • Helps in preparing progress report


 These are some of the benefits of saving a record for children but these thing does't happen in most of the schools' i think it's because both teacher and students have a tight schedule teacher won't get enough time to spend with every   
 child and other duties come in their way............ any way if teacher doesn't keep record is ok................ but she surely should find time to spend with students because its the beauty of teaching lies...

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE (V.G)


The provision of VG in our educational has been necessitated by great changes in our society and this large world is becoming


more and more complex.Unemployment and underemployment are not necessarily due to lack of opportunities but i think it is due to the lack of information and support to find right job to right person. Students' are not been able to know what all opportunities are waiting for them because of their limited knowledge of occupations and of the narrow range of alternatives available to them.


This ignorance lead to unrealistic aspirations. Therefore i think we should assist our students to have more realistic career expectations through systematically organized VG programs in our schools and colleges.

NEED FOR VG  
  1. VG is needed to assist the students to choose the best career of their choice
  2. To strengthen educational system by providing motivation and meaning to education
  3. To help students understand problem and causes for unemployment
  4. Needed to provide information about occupational opportunities
  5. To help youngsters to prepare for and entering into desired profession
  6. To explore different information sources
  7. For vocational adjustment
  8. To ensure efficient use of man power 
  9. To stop wastage and misutilization of time , money,labor and brings economic prosperity to individual as well as nation
  10. To develop potentialities of youngsters to an optimum level
A country's economic stability depends on the working people and man power of nation for its development so if we raise our children with a correct value and definition for career we could be part our nations development.There will be a time when everyone will be satisfied with their jobs and life and thus prosperity runs through our life and we will be able to live a beautiful in peace , harmony and love for each others.

INTERFERENCE OF MALAYALAM ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

The features of the first language find similarities and differences with the feature of second language,similarities facilitate and differences interfere second language learning.Malayalam ,as a first language ,exhibits these features of facilitation and interference when a Malayalee learns English after acquiring Malayalam.
Malayalam has major differences with English ,both languages belong to different families English belongs to In do-European where as Malayalam to Dravidian language. Unphonetic nature of English is heavily interfered by the phonetic nature of Malayalam.
Eg:-/o/ -on , one, won ,wolf
/k/ - kit , cat , school ,packet

The presence of silent letters in words is another reason ,malayalee have a tendency in the beginning to pronounce each and every letter they see in English words.
Eg:- r - girl
k -know
h - honest.

Malayalam is a syllable timed language where as English a stressed timed language.Malayalee have a tendency   to t English wrongly as syllable timed language which is due to the influence of malayalam.

"t" is a alveolar plosive ,malayalees wrongly pronounce it as retroflex sound which not in English use .

Malayalees pronounce "s/es" as /s/ /z/ and /iz/
Eg:- looks - /luks/ ,pigs - /pigz/ ,cases -/ keisiz/.

Past tense marker d /ed is pronounced as /t/ /d/ and /id/
Eg :- looked - /lukt/ ,filled - /fild/ , lighted -/laitid/
they do so in English because it is their familiar way in malayalam in which they are correct.

These are some of the problems in using English for malayalee but theoretical knowledge of relevant areas and sufficient practice can help the learners a lot in overcoming these kinds of interference.The beauty of a language is in its beauty of communication because language is primarily speech.

TEACHING OF ENGLISH IN KERALA

Kerala is known as god's own country all around the globe.Here teaching of English stars from standard one.Most of the students can't use English accurately in speech and writing even as they complete school education.The study of English for years and years doesn't equip them to use any of the skills in that language satisfactorily.

According to me we should give prior focus of teaching English in Kerala.It fails to bloom the flowers of talents and standards of pupils in English language.Causal factors of this predicament are many and their are many obstacles and impediments to  overcome.



CHALLENGES OF TEACHING ENGLISH IN KERALA
  • Over crowded classes
  • Excess work load to teachers and students
  • Lack of refresher courses
  • Poor teacher education system
  • Wrong methods of teaching
  • Lack of good library facilities
  • Lack of good language lab
  • Limited exposure
  • Unsuitable curriculum
  • Inadequate number of periods
  • Defective system of evaluation
  • Unavailability of text books in time
  • Unavailability of learning aids
  • Changing policies of government
  • Over politicization of students and teachers unions
  • Lack of effective supervision and support
These deplorable conditions of English language teaching is not a peculiarity of Kerala alone.The same can be seen as the condition of English language teaching across the country.Any one who comes forward with new innovations are never given support but they are suppressed.Teaching is a profession which teaches all professions and it is the most beautiful and enjoyable profession seen in whole world .

PERSONAL GUIDANCE

Personal guidance is an assistance given to an individual to solve his social , emotional , moral and health problems. The area of personal guidance is the personal adjustment of the individual in different spheres of life.Lack of guidance may precipitate personal problems which would affect their efficiency ,happiness and make them maladjusted.Personal problems are mostly emotional in nature and hence are difficult to handle.Moreover,there is wide individual variation regarding the nature of social and psychological problems.The complexity of the causes and that of the person make personal guidance inevitable for balanced development of personality and optimal social productivity.

  1. It is required for the personal adjustment
  2. Essential for developing personal and social competencies
  3. Needed for avoiding the interpersonal tension and conflicts
  4. Used for setting up a harmonious environment between family life and vocational life of an individual
  5. Needed to minimize the gaps between personal aspirations and social demands
  6. Helps in taking decisions with regard to personal problems

These are some of the need for personal guidance in this busy world and stress out time i recommend my readers to get or assure proper guidance to yourself and friends before it gets too late.

NEED FOR GUIDANCE IN SCHOOLS

                                The increasing complexities and stress of modern day living , everyday reports of lack of interest in studies , low achievement ,truancy, aggression,behavioral problems, suicide, drug abuse and the like call for provision of guidance and counselling for children and youth in schools.There is a greater need for guidance services now than ever before due to the rapid advancement in technology, emerging of new world order, rapid social change and fast changing value systems.
The secret of good education consists in enabling the student to discover and develop his potentialities for his personal happiness and social usefulness , to realize what are his talents ,aptitudes and in what manner and to what extent he can develop his best so as to achieve proper social adjustment and seek right type of employment. 


let's see how guidance help students    :-
1.To help in the total development of the student.
2.To cater to individual differences among school going children.
3.To improve the quality of education.
4.To enable students to make proper choices at various stages of their educational career.
5.It helps the child to recognize and use his inner resources,to set goals,to make plans to work out his own problems of development.
6.To help the students choose,prepare for , enter upon and progress in a career.
7.To check wastage and stagnation .
8.To minimize the incidence of indiscipline 
9.To improve vocational efficiency of students.
10.To minimize the mismatching between education and employment.
11.To help the exceptional children in their optimal development.
12.To develop healthy and balanced personality.
13.To tackle emotional problems
                                                 
             For this to realize, guidance should be an integral part of school system.They are the next generation who should lead our country so they should be stronger from inside and should have a good aesthetic sense.

IT 'Z ALL ABOUT LOVE

LOVE - The most beautiful feeling in the world

Guy'z what do you think love is all about ? I think it'z like a colorful rainbow , which forms after the rain and adds beauty to our colorful world and make our dreams. It is undefinable i think ,but i have heard people saying that love is blind ,care ,emotion and so on goes the list. I think it'z all about how one decides what it is to them. 

For me it'z a special feeling to someone or anything in the world ,did you guy'z know when first heard the song from the film ashiqui HUM ...TERE....BINA..ABB...REHEENAHI SAKTHEEE... made my hair rise uppp my brother wondered and started making fun of me ,at that time i didn't understand  anything but while their was a discussion about and they asked me and this came to me and i too narrated this to them my guide said it could be a different phase of love ,i remember while doing my bachelor read a poem in which the poet tells us that if  a feeling really get into someone  ,one's eyes dilates , he sweets , heartbeat rises and his hair rises up just like i have experienced.
I doubt in today'z world do we can see real love?????? as the stories we have heard in our childhood of prince and princess living happily ever after....... the feeling of trust on love has been vanished from our world......... no one trusts anyone they doesn't help the needy............why this has happened??? where'zz the goodness of human have vanished which god considered as next to him..........
Today even girl'z have started doing wrong thing'z and boy'z help them for there needs.i don't know where'z the world going everything nice and beautiful is being destroyed....... i don't know what will last in this world........... i want 
all the good people to sustain their goodness by doing good and if we all try hand in hand we could bring back the goodness and beauty to this world as the world was when it formed...................

BEAUTY OF MALAYALAM LITERATURE

BEAUTY OF MALAYALAM LITERATURE
Malayalam literature (മലയാള സാഹിത്യം) comprises those literary texts written in Malayalam, a South-Dravidian language spoken in the Indian state of Kerala.
The earliest known extant literary work in Malayalam is Ramacharitam, an epic poem written in the late 13th or early 13th century. In the subsequent centuries, besides a popular pattu ("song") literature, the manipravalam poetry also flourished. Manipravalam (translates "ruby coral") style mainly consisted of erotic poetry in an admixture of Malayalam and Sanskrit.[1] Then came works such as champus and sandeshakavyas in which prose and poetry were interspersed. Later, poets like Cherusseriintroduced poems on devotional themes. Ezhuthachan, a strong proponent of Bhakti movement, is known as the father of Malayalam. His poems are classified under the genre of kilippattu.[2]
Modern literary movements in Malayalam literature began in the late 19th century with the rise of the famous Modern Triumvirate consisting of Kumaran AsanUlloor S. Parameswara Iyer and Vallathol Narayana Menon. Kumaran Asan was temperamentally a pessimist—a disposition reinforced by his metaphysics—yet all his life was active in promoting his downtrodden Hindu-Ezhava community. Ullor wrote in the classical tradition, on the basis of which he appealed for universal love, while Vallathol responded to the human significance of social progress. Contemporary Malayalam poetry records the encounter with problems of social, political, and economic life. The tendency of the modern poetry is often regarded as toward political radicalism.

Early literature

For the first 600 years of the Malayalam calendar, Malayalam literature remained in a preliminary stage. During this time, Malayalam literature consisted mainly of various genres of songs. The most prominent among these were songs praising the goddesses of the land, ballads of brave warriors, songs related to the work of a particular caste and songs intended just for entertainment. Bhadrakali pattu, thottam pattu, mavaratham pattu, sasthanga pattu, nizhalkoothu pattu, sarpa pattu, sastham pattu, thiyyattu pattu, pulluvar pattu, mannar pattu, panar pattu, krishi pattu, thamburan pattu, pada pattu, villadichan pattu, onappattu, kummi and lullaby were some of the major sub-genres. These names were not used historically, but are used in modern times to describe the song genres of that time.

Ramacharitham

Ramacharitham is a collection of poems written at the end of the preliminary stage in Malayalam literature's evolution. It is the oldest Malayalam book available. The collection has 1,814 poems in it. Ramacharitham mainly consists of stories from the Yuddha Kanda the of Ramayana. It was written by a poet with the pen nameCheeramakavi who, according to poet Ulloor S Parameswara Iyer, was Sree Veerarama Varman, a king of Travancore from AD 1195 to 1208.[4] Other experts, like Dr. K.M. George and P.V. Krishnan Nair, claim that the origins of the book can be found in north Kerala. They cite the use of certain words in the book and also the fact that the manuscript of the book was recovered from Neeleshwaram in north Kerala.[5] Some experts consider it a Tamil literary piece. A. R. Rajaraja Varma, who heavily contributed to the development of Malayalam grammar, is of the opinion that Malayalam originated from ancient Tamil. Ramacharitham is considered a book written during the formative years of Malayalam. According to Rev. Dr. Hermann Gundert, who compiled the first dictionary of the Malayalam language, Ramacharitham shows the ancient style of the Malayalam language.
