While the ET programme is in operation you will have to monitor the following:

(a) Integration of different components of the programme on day-to-day basis

(b) Involvement of different agencies at operational stage;

(c) Different skills involved at transaction level;

ADVERTISEMENTS:

(d) Participation of teachers, pupils and other concerned components.

In the context of operation of ET you will have to be vigilant about co-ordination of different components like: (1) media facility, (2) time schedule, (3) physical support including power supply, (4) working condition of gadgets, (5) communication facility, (6) teachers and learners preparatory tasks, (7) activities taking place during teaching-learning sessions etc. Proper monitoring tools must be adopted to record such co-ordination and identify the limitations if existing in any of the components.

As stated earlier, collaborative efforts are suggested for operationalising ET. Proper arrangement should be made about encouraging participation amongst different agencies through meetings, workshops, discussions, seminars and other kind of interactions. Monitoring should focus on this dimension of ET. Varieties of skills are to be used for the transaction of ET based activities. For example, introducing the ETV based instruction, exhibiting the ETV lessons, conducting question answer activities, conducting peer learning activities, evaluating learner’s performances etc. requires several kinds of skills on the part of teachers and learners. These skills must be exercised in view of achieving the desired target.

As you know, operationalisation of ET involves participation of teachers, pupils, support staff and other concerned components. How to motivate them in such activities? How to sustain their involvement in various activities? And how to enhance the spirit df participation are some of the points to be kept in mind while implementing the project.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

In the context of operationalisation of ET system most relevant queries are made about how smoothly the programme is being implemented and whether the execution is in the right direction of achievement of goals and objectives. In other words, the process evaluation is to be given due weight age from the point of view of on the spot decisions about the programme. Hence, decision­ making should be integrated with monitoring and evaluation activities of ETV programme.
