TRANSACTIONAL STRATEGIES

✓ More focus should be on helping students becoming self-learners.

  ✓ Teachers may create WhatsApp groups or other social media teams for different classes. Instead of directly providing resources to learners, this can be done as per the demand of the content.

✓ For any concept or topic, the teachers may ask learners in the group to go through a particular portion of a chapter after which they may initiate a discussion related to that portion and ask students to deliberate on that. This may help teachers to know their students’ thought process or approach towards a problem.

 ✓ Teachers may highlight only important points during the discussion and the rest of the work may be done by the students themselves. The teacher may intervene only when necessary. They may provide the link of available resources which can help in clarifying the doubts of the students.

✓ As in the regular classroom, teachers facilitate learners to understand concepts by involving them in certain activities in groups. Similarly, 7 they may form subgroups on WhatsApp involving different students. Each group may be assigned different tasks and they may be asked to get back to the teacher. Exemplar For the teacher (How to conduct Reading Activity — guiding students through mobile) The process would involve pre reading, while reading and post reading activities.
