Abstract

In India, green skills have been incorporated into school vocational curricula by Pandit Sunderlal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education, Bhopal. This study examined the perception of students of senior secondary government schools on teaching and learning of green skills in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The senior secondary government schools where vocational courses under the National Skills Qualifications Framework have been introduced were selected for the study. Data was obtained from a sample of 80 students of class XII who had chosen vocational courses at the secondary level from four selected senior secondary government schools using a self-developed Likert type questionnaire. Mean and standard deviation of the responses were calculated to analyse the data. Students being the only respondents Friedman Test was calculated to find out the pattern of the distribution of the data. The results revealed that the distribution is the same for teaching and learning of green skills. However, there were varied responses with low mean and high standard deviation from students about their knowledge of the concept of green skills, even though the majority of students followed green practices which were being taught to them in vocational courses.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of a targeted teacher training program designed for Grades 6-8 educators on the implementation of vocational education as per the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023. Using a pre-test and post-test design, we quantitatively assessed participants' awareness and understanding of vocational education principles. Results demonstrated a 25% increase in average post-test scores, with variability in learning outcomes across different educational backgrounds and teaching experience levels. Visual data analysis, including scatterplots and stacked bar charts, was employed to assess score distribution and highlight learning gaps. The scatterplot analysis revealed distinct clusters, indicating diverse levels of prior knowledge, while stacked bar charts illustrated comparative improvements within subgroups, allowing for an in-depth understanding of knowledge acquisition patterns. These findings underscore the importance of differentiated training strategies tailored to teachers' initial competency levels. Beyond this program, our results suggest that tailored, data-informed training can enhance vocational education outcomes in broader educational contexts, guiding similar initiatives to optimize educator preparedness and engagement. This approach offers valuable insights for designing effective teacher training frameworks in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of a comprehensive drone technology bootcamp conducted at PSSCIVE Bhopal, targeting school students from diverse educational and demographic backgrounds. Designed to blend theoretical instruction with hands-on drone assembly and flight training, the bootcamp aimed to foster technical skills, innovation, and entrepreneurship awareness. A mixed-methods approach using pre- and post-test assessments, observations, and feedback surveys was employed to analyse learning outcomes. Findings revealed significant improvements in students' theoretical understanding, practical proficiency, and entrepreneurial mindset. Students from various school types, Demonstration Multipurpose Schools, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, and State Government schools, benefited equally, with marked gains across gender and rural-urban segments. Participants reported increased confidence in knowledge retention and a sustained interest in further exploring drone technology. Despite some technical and logistical challenges, the program successfully addressed gaps in STEM and vocational education by offering an engaging, real-world learning experience. The study underscores the potential of immersive, skill-based bootcamps in enhancing design thinking, innovation, and job readiness among school students. It provides key recommendations for future bootcamp models, including tailored content, continuous assessment, and stronger entrepreneurship modules, thereby supporting NEP 2020’s vision of a holistic and practical education framework.
