Best Practice

1. Title of the Practice:
• Spot Lecture

2. Objective of the Practice:
• To make History interesting for students.
• To provide students a resourceful learning experience.
• To make the students of History get connected to the past.
• To help students identify their research interests for higher studies.
• To educate students to consult primary sources in learning and research.
• To make students cherish our historical or cultural heritage sites and realise the importance of saving them from any kind of destruction in particular from vandalism.

3.The Context:

The spot lecture is an arranged lecture delivered to students by a subject expert invited to the places of field visit or study tour. To bring History to life, the spot lectures are arranged outside the confines of the classroom in a historical spot, a monument or museum. Seated in a historical setting and listening to a subject expert is likely to impact on the student to study History.

4.The Practice:

Field visits or Educational Tours enhance or supplement the educational experience of students. The students have the chances to verify and wonder at whatever learned in the classroom. A spot lecture arranged at the places of visit and given by a subject expert becomes both a visual and verbal form of learning for the students. It provides a depth of understanding in History.

From an Art Historian the students can learn the features and nuances of Indian Art. From an Archaeologist they learn the methods of excavation and how history is culled out from a relic. From an Epigraphist they learn how to read or make estampage of inscription.
The students also get the chance to meet and interact with the subject experts and are inspired to learn in a historical setting by examining the primary sources.

5.Evidence of Success:

The spot lectures motivate the students to study History with interest. By understanding history in its real sense, they are willing to learn the subject. They learn about our culture and feel proud of the nation. By realising the importance of our history they aspire to share it with others. A few become History Teachers to teach history to the future generations. A few more become archaeologists, epigraphists or conservationists. Provided the language or communication skill, a few are likely to become Tourist Guides. Whatever the path they take in life, they become responsible citizens and are vowed to protect the culture and relics of our glorious past.

6.Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

Many of the students are rural based and are poor in economical standard. Finance was the foremost need to take students on field visits and to arrange for spot lectures. To record the spot lectures and to upload them in the social media, for the education of the general public, a video camera and computer are essential.
