Types of Education
Agencies of education

1 2
 Active Agencies:

• Active agencies are those where both educator and educant

are active participants.
• The action and reactions are entertained.
• Learning is a two-way process.
• Interaction is lively.
• The school, home, family are considered as the active agencies
of education.
  Passive agencies:

• Passive agencies are those which influence the learners but

they are not influenced in return.
• The teaching-learning process is one way.
• These create public opinion and public control.
• If the leaner is interested he may learn.
• Radio, TV, press, Library are the examples of passive agencies.
 Formal agencies
• Formal agencies are more or less deliberately set up by the
society.
• It has specific objectives, curriculum, examination system, etc.
These are formal because they are pre-planned.
• The place and time are fixed.
• School, college, university are the examples of formal agencies
of education.
 Informal agencies:

• There are agencies which grow up spontaneously and also

dissolve in the same way.
• They observe no formalities.
• They indirectly impart education
• . If one is interested one can learn.
• They include family, society, playground, professional
organizations, youth activity groups, etc.
  Non-formal agencies:

• It is the recent concept used in India.

• Those who are not getting chance in formal agencies of
education like schools, colleges and universities may go
through the non-formal agencies of education.
• The programmes are meant for out of school youths, adults,
and women.
• Correspondence course, Open University and adult education
include in the non-formal agencies of education.
 Nursing education
• Nurse education consists of the theoretical and practical
training provided to nurses with the purpose to prepare them
for their duties as nursing care professionals.

which the education process is directed–the learning
that is to result from instruction.
 Classification
1. Institutional/ General: These objectives are generally followed by all institutions offering the
same educational programme
Very broad and focuses on what the institution is aimed at.
Eg: Students acquire knowledge and able to provide comprehensive care to the clients in
institution and community; in health and sickness
2.Intermediate: Derivatives of institutional objectives and related to a particular learning
experience or subject matter. Formulated by CC
Eg: Students acquire knowledge and able to provide comprehensive care to patients with eye,
ear, and nose conditions or diseases

value of lecture method
 Bloom’s taxonomy
• 1956 Benjamin Bloom divide educational objectives into 3
domains
According to the level of behavior , progressing from most simple to
the highly complex
1. Cognitive: knowledge
2. Affective: attitudes, values
3. Psychomotor: Conation - motor skills
Bloom- cognitive domain
Karath- affective
Harrow- psychomotor
 Psychomotor domain According to
Francis M Quinn
1. Perception

Teaching
Definition
Teaching refers to activities that are designed and performed to
produce change in student behavior
- Clarke

Teaching is the arrangement of contingencies of reinforcement

- Skinner

Teaching is based on intellectual capacity

 Maxims of teaching

• Proceed from concrete to abstract • Proceed from part to whole
• Proceed from analysis to
• Proceed from simple to complex
synthesis
• Proceed from easy to more difficult • Proceed from overview to details
• Proceed inductively • From observation to reasoning
• Proceed from particular to general • Proceed from psychological to
• Proceed from indefinite to definite logical
• Proceed from empirical to rational
2. Content related factors
CURRICULUM
 Curriculum
– The subject matter, clinical experiences and practices that the faculty
plans to implements for a particular group of students is called
curriculum
( DSSB Nursing officer Aug 2019)
– A well planned curriculum helps to realize the educational
objectives
 4 C’s of curriculum
• Cooperative
Programme or curriculum should be prepared by group of persons,
to reduce chance of error.
• Continuous
Continuous revision of the curriculum should be essential
• Comprehensive
Interaction of the entire programme component must be defined
percisely
• Concrete
Concrete professional task must be constituting the essential
structure of a relevant programme
 Models of curriculum
1. Behavioral objective(product model): by Ralph Tyler. Output model.
Classic curriculum model which remains the foundation for a performance based nursing
curriculum
OBJECTIVES, CONTENTS , METHODS AND EVALUTION
2. Stenhouse’s process model: Input model, learning experiences/process
Model of curriculum which is more open ended and focuses on how learning develops
over a period of time
3. Lawton’s cultural analysis model:
4. Beattie’s four fold model:
 Curriculum as a map of key subjects
 Curriculum as schedule of basic skills
 Portfolio of meaningful personal experience
 Agenda of important cultural issues
 Types of curriculum
Olivia bevis
1. Legitimate curriculum: Written down curriculum, approved by accreditation bodies
curriculum is one that is agreed on by the faculty either implicitly or explicitly. 
2. Illegitimate curriculum:
The illegitimate curriculum, according to Bevis (2000), is one known and actively taught by
faculty yet not evaluated because descriptors of the behaviors are lacking. Such
behaviors include “caring, compassion, power, and its use”
Eg: insight, creativity.
3. Hidden curriculum: The hidden curriculum consists of values and beliefs taught through
verbal and nonverbal communication by the faculty
Here unaware of the messages given by the way we teach..values, perceptions etc
( Learning that takes place in the school /college of nursing which is not the designated
part of official curriculum )
4. Null curriculum: Exists only in the heart and minds of educators but seldom in reality.
 Core curriculum
• A set of course that is considered basic and essential for future
course or a study and which utilize to solve the problem of
common client called core curriculum
• The approach of nursing process of giving nursing care can be
regarded as core curriculum
• Standard curriculum was produced by the league of Nursing
education in 1917
 Basic types of curriculum designs
• Subject-centered design
Subject-centered curriculum design revolves around a particular subject
matter or discipline. 
• Learner-centered design
Learner-centered curriculum design takes each individual's needs,
interests, and goals into consideration.
• Problem-centered design
Like learner-centered curriculum design, problem-centered curriculum
design is also a form of student-centered design. Problem-centered
curricula focus on teaching students how to look at a problem and
come up with a solution to the problem
 Levels of curriculum planning
Good land
•Societal curriculum: Experts outside the educational institution
who are legally approved. Eg; INC
•Institutional curriculum: By faculty of the institute for a
particular group of students for a definite period of time
•Instructional curriculum: Individual Teacher at instructional level
 Steps in curriculum development
• Ralph Tyler
1.Formulation of educational objectives
2.Selection of learning experiences
3.Effective organization of learning experiences- continuity,
sequence, integration
4.Evaluation of the curriculum- Men, money, materials,
methods, minutes
Master rotation plan
•Master rotation plan is the overall plan of rotation of all students in a
particular educational institution, showing the placement of the students
belonging to total programme
•It is the plan of the whole year of one batch or all bathes of a class

examination
 Course plan
• Brief course description
• Total planning of an entire course
• Course is a combination of various but interrelated units
• Division of subject matter, time allocation for theory and
practical hours
Unit plan
•Large subdivision of the subject matter is called unit.
• Elements of unit plan- Selection and statement of objectives,
Selection of content, organization of the content, deciding up
on the time allotment, selection of teaching learning activities,
determining the teacher expertize, selection of methods of
evaluation, selection of references
 LESSON PLAN
• Lesson plan is a plan prepared by the teacher to teach lesson
in an organized manner

• it enables speaker to present the information step by step 
• It increases the interest and imagination of the audience.
• The information on the chart is covered with thin paper strips to
which it has been applied either by wax, tape or sticky
substance or pins.
• As the speaker wishes to visually reinforce a point with words or
symbols, he removes the appropriate strip or paper.
•  It produces interest.
• It increases learning and aids recall.
• Pull chart: it consists of written messages which are hidden by
strips of thick paper. The message can be shown to the viewer,
one after another by 6 pulling out the concealing strips.
• Flow chart: diagrams used to show organizational elements or
administrative or functional relationships. In this chart lines,
rectangles, circles, are connected by lines showing the
directional flow.
Tabulation chart: it shows the schedule of an activity or of an individual ex:
time-table of a class. These are very valuable aid in the teaching situation where
breakdown of a fact or a statement is to be listed.
Also it is a useful aid for showing points of comparison, distinction, and
contrasts between two or more things.
While making the table charts the following points must be kept in the mind.
The chart should be 50 X 75 cm or more in size.
The chart should be captioned in bold letters.
The vertical columns should be filled in short phrases rather than complete
sentences.
Flip chart: a set of charts related to specific topic have been tagged together
and hang on a supporting stand.
The individual charts will carry a series of related materials or messages in
sequence.
The silent points of specific topic will be presented.
 Types of charts:

• Pie chart: a circle will be drawn and divisions will be made into
different sections, each section will be coded differently and
code key will be given at right corner of the chart as legend.
 The circumference is divided into suitable sections.
 It is relevant for showing the component part
 Flash cards
• Flash cards are a set of pictures on compact paper cards flashed one by one in
logical, - sequence
• They can be self-made or commercially prepared and are made up of charts or
drawing paper using colors, ink for writing and drawing.

Evaluation
‘Valoir’- to be worth
Evaluation is the process of determining to what extent the
educational objectives are being realized
–Ralph Tyler
Evaluation: Pupil’s qualitative progress and behavioral
changes are tested.
E.g. Very good, good, bad, etc.
Measurement: Refers to quantitative description pupil’s
attainment in a subject.
E.g. Exam score in a specific subject.
Assessment:
“Assessment in education is the process of gathering ,
interpreting, recording and using information about
pupil’s responses to an educational task.”
Criterion referenced assessment
It determines whether each student has achieved
specific skills or concepts.
E.g.: Driving test
Norm referenced assessment
Compare students to what is normal for the age,
class and course.
Percentile rank is preferred.
 Measurement
• Process of obtaining numerical description of the degree to
which and individual process a particular characteristic is
measurement
Methods of Evaluation
 Principles of evaluation
1. It must be clearly stated what is to be evaluated
2. A variety of evaluation techniques should be used for a
comprehensive evaluation
3. An evaluator should know the limitations of dif­ferent
evaluation techniques
4. The technique of evaluation must be appropriate for the
characteristics or performance to be measured
5. Evaluation is a means to an end but not an end in itself
Formative assessment
E.g: Teacher’s assessment of
seminar presentation
Summative assessment
E.g: Final University exam.
 Techniques of evaluation
 Oral examinations
