Report on Nilkhet High School

 Introduction:

“Measurement and Evaluation” in education is very significant in the teaching learning process. Through evaluation one can verify that learning objectives of students have been achieved or not. But to have a sharp evaluation, good measurement techniques and knowledge of statistical analysis is very important.

As a part of the Honors degree every student of IER has to go to a school at 7th semester to complete his practicum course. As a student of 7th semester, I was sent to school section of Nilkhet High School, a well reputed school of Dhaka. There I had to teach     Social-science in class eight. In the 6th semester we have to complete Microteaching and Simulation course that is in fact a mock up of a real classroom situation. So it was a great opportunity for me to apply my experience of micro-teaching in the practical field.

Working as a trainee teacher in NilkhetHigh School from 7/8/’04 to 29-06-2011, I had the opportunity to know about and look through the school’s environment closely. I shall try to picture those observations in this report. This report includes some description of physical and human components of the school, identifies its strengths and weaknesses and then draws some suggestions to overcome the existing problems and further improvement as well.

aim of the report

The primary objective of this report is to fulfill the partial requirement in the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree. Besides fulfilling the degree requirement, this report intends to cover a comprehensive analysis of school profile, administration and management.

Scope

This practicum report covers almost all aspects of a school in Bangladesh. I have had the opportunity to teach the students of different classes and different subjects. It was a practical exposure of what I learned in my university. I have also come close to school teachers, administration and managing committee and to observe there activities. At the same time I have observed school environment, education system etc. I tried to compile all these in my report.

Limitations

This report may have some incompleteness due to some of the limitations I encountered while completing it, that are mentioned below:

  1. One major limitation was the time constraint. This report could have been prepared in a much broader and extensive manner with more time and space availability.
  2. Some essential data could not be gathered because of confidentiality concerns such as budget, summary of different BOG and management committee meetings.
  3. Another limitation was that the data gathered could not be verified for accuracy.

Brief History of Nilkhet High School

NilkhetHigh School reminds Mohammad Abdul Hakim Mollah, the then Head Teacher of Nilkhet Primary School, with honor as the first promoter of establishing the school. He was the first person to make his colleagues and some local guardians interested to establish a high school through discussing with them about it’s necessity. This body of interested teachers and guardians discussed with Mr. Mokbul Hossain, the then Thana Education Officer of Ramna, and decided to establish a high school mainly for the children of the staffs working at DhakaUniversity. According to the advice of the TEO, on 18.01.1975 Mohammad Abdul Hakim Mollah and the then Assistant Examination Controllers of Dhaka University Mr. Bozlur Rahman, Mr. Rahmatul Alam, Mr. Abul Hossain and Mr. Bodruddin Ahmed went to the then District Education Officer seeking permission for using the land and a room of NilkhetPrimary School for High School. The DEO, with the permission of the then DPI, granted their application and permitted them to use the land and room for one year. On 27.01.1975 the Eleven Member Governing Committee of Nilkhet High School was formed. Assistant Examination Controller Mr. Bozlur Rahman and Mr. Bodruddin Ahmed was respectively the first Chairman and the first Secretary of the school. That Committee appointed Mr. Abdul Hakim Mollah as the Honorary Head Teacher and Mr. Emdad Ahmed and Md. Hanif as the Honorary Assistant Teacher. At last with the assistance of some local philanthropic and the Governing Committee the school was formally established on 07.02.1975. The school started his activity with 13 students and 3 teachers. At first only class six was introduced as the school’s secondary education activity.

In 1976 a tin shade building was established on the eastern side of the primary school. Educational activities of class six and seven were then transferred to that tin shade building. Class eight and nine was introduced in 1977. Four more teachers were then appointed. By the mean time an application was submitted to Dhaka University Authority seeking land and financial assistance for the school. Dhaka University Authority then formed are 3 members sub-committee whose Chairman was Dr. Wadudur Rahman, the then Provost of Haji Mohammad Mohsin Hall. The sub-committee strongly recommended for the prayer. Then Dhaka University Authority allocated 16 Shotangsho land for school considering the convenience for the education of the children of the staffs working in the University.

The first Honorary Head Teacher and two Honorary Assistant Teachers served the school without any salary for two years. Now the school has 27 teachers, 1 accountant, 1 record- keeper and other 4 fourth class staffs.

In 1976-77 financial years Dhaka University Authority granted 10,000 Taka for the development of the school. This was the first grant for the school. Now this grant has increased to about 3,00,000 Taka. By the mean time DU Authority allocated 5 Shotangsho land for the second time and then more 29 shotangsho. As a result the total land area of the school became 50 shotangsho. Later on more 28 shotangsho lands was allocated in 2 installments (13 shotangsho in first installment and then 15 shotangsho more). Now the total land area of the school is 78 shotangsho. However in 1977 the school authority submitted an application at VDPI office shantinagar, to recognize it as junior school but it failed. Then the same application was submitted to Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education. This time their application was granted and from 01.01.78 the school introduced class nine. In 1979, for the first time, 12 students attended the S.S.C. exam from the school and among them 10 passed. In 1980, the school was fully permitted to take part on S.S.C. exam. From 1981 students of science and from 1982 students of science, arts and commerce are attending the S.S.C. exam from the school. DU authority and the government actively help the school as a result. Now the school has 1 three- storied building and 4 tin- shade building.

Comment

The value of mean, median and mode is respectively 8.96, 8.94 and 8.90. The value of mean, median and mode is nearer to each other.. Here 7 – 9 class intervals contain maximum number of frequency and mean, median and mode belong to that class interval.

Measures of Variability

a) The Range

                                   Range = Highest score – Lowest score

                                                     =      15 – 1

                                                     = 14

Range = 14

b) The Quartile Deviation

# Q1 = L1 + {(N/4-F1)/fq1}I

Here-

L1 = 3.5

F1 = 3

fq1 = 12

i = 3

N = 56

Q1 = L1 + {(N/4-F1)/fq1} i

                                                                   = 3.5 +{(14 – 3)/12} 3

                                                                        = 3.5 + {11/12} 3

                                                                        = 3.5 + 2.75

                                                                        = 6.25

Q1= 13.9 (Approx.)

                         

* Q3 = L3 + {(3N/4 – F3)/fq3} i

Here-

L3 = 9.5

F3 = 31

fq3 = 14

i =  3

N = 56

Q3 = L3 + {(3N/4 – F3)/fq3} I

                                              = 9.5 + {(42 – 31)/14} 3

                                                          = 9.5 + {11/14} 3

                                                          = 9.5 + 2.35

                                                          = 11.85

Q3 = 11.85 (Approx.)

Quartile Deviation, Q = ( Q– Q1 )/2

                                                                        = (11.85 – 6.25)/2

                                                                                    = 5.6/2

                                           = 2.8

Comment

The value of range is 14, Quartile Deviation is 2.8, Mean Deviation is 0.004 and Standard Deviation is 3.5. As Standard Deviation is the most consistent measure of variability, considering it, it can be said that lower scores are not much dispersed; they remain nearer to the mean. From the analysis of Measures of Central Tendency &Variability, some findings can be noted:

  • 27 scores (48%) stand below the mean and 29 scores (52%) stand above the mean. So the distribution is supposed to be normal.
  • The mean, median and mode are very near to the same. But Mean>Median>Mode.
  • Most scores are near the mean and the further from the mean a score is, the fewer the number of subjects who attained that score.
  • Mean ± 1.0 S.D., that is, 12.46 –5.46 contains 7 scores (46.66%)
  •  Mean ± 2.0 S.D., that is, 15.96 –1.96 contains 14 scores (93.33%).
  •  Mean ± 2.5 S.D., that is, 17.71 –0.21 contains 17.5 scores (116%).

These findings show that although the distributions of Mean ± 1.0 S.D but the distribution of Mean ± 2.0 S.D. and Mean ± 2.5 S.D. is too far from the normal curve. The distribution is said to be normal and kurtosis.

The distribution is very near to normal but very little positively skewed

Here, Mean > Median > Mode.

Skewness of the distribution = 3 (mean – median) / S.D = 0.01 (Approx).

The value is very low which indicates the distribution is very near to the normal distribution.

The distribution is very near to normal but is very little platykurtic

Leptokurtic – where more scores than normal distribution stand in mean ±2.0  & 3.0S.D.

Measures of Relative Positions

Major measures of relative positions are percentile ranks, Z-score and T-score. I shall determine only Z-score and T-score here as they are more reliable than percentile ranks.

# Standard score (Z – Score), Z = (X – M) / s

# T = 50 + 10Z

Comment

The value of range is 13, Quartile Deviation is 2.07, Mean Deviation is -0.01 and Standard Deviation is 2.96. As Standard Deviation is the most consistent measure of variability, considering it, it can be said that lower scores are not much dispersed; they remain nearer to the mean. From the analysis of Measures of Central Tendency &Variability some findings can be noted:

  • 26 scores (46%) stand below the mean and 30 scores (54%) stand above the mean. So the distribution is nearly normal.
  • The mean, median and mode are not the same. Mean>Median>Mode.
  • Most scores are near the mean and the further from the mean a score is, the fewer the number of subjects who attained that score.
  • Mean ± 1.0 S.D., that is, 11.98 – 6.06 contains total 5.92 scores (39.46%).
  •  Mean ± 2.0 S.D., that is, 14.94 – 3.1 contains total 11.84 scores (78.93%).
  •  Mean ± 3.0 S.D., that is, 17.9 – 0.14 contains total 17.76 scores (118.4%).

These findings show that although the distributions not so far from the normal distribution and it are a little negatively skewed also.

The distribution is very near to normal & very little negatively skewed.

Here, Mean < Median < Mode.

Skewness of the distribution = 3 (mean – median) / S.D = – 0.32

The value of skewness is very low and therefore ignorable.

The distribution is very  nearly normal.

Measures of Relative Positions:

Major measures of relative positions are percentile ranks, Z-score and T-score. I shall determine only Z-score and T-score here as they are more reliable than percentile ranks.

# Standard score (Z – Score), Z =  (X – M) / s

# T = 50 + 10Z

 Conclusion

Considering all the things, it can be said that NilkhetHigh School has more shortcomings than advantages for effective teaching. Two major reasons for this are: insufficient physical, human and monetary resources, and lack of faith of teachers upon students. Improving resource is time consumiong. Especially supply of sufficient money is a pre condition to improve the physical and human resources. Lack of supply of monetary resources can hinder the improvement of quality and quantity development.

But I believe students of NilkhetHigh School have the ability to do well. I have got them very intelligent, curious and participating in the class. They have interests in pleasant studies. Before joining the school since leaving and till now I have heard it many times that the students of Nilkhet High School are very dull, they are not meritorious even not mediocre because of their weak social and economic condition. Of course social and economic background is very important factors, but my quest was if the school authority and teachers were careful enough to help them do good. Are they really as much weak as they are said? My answers are NO and NO. I have experienced them. A little care, a pleasant and participating teaching-learning environment can do much for them to become successful. I am hoping for those days.
