Introduction

This work is presented to document a Best practice of

using Educational Bags in RAK government schools. We

as a group are going to present the subject, outcomes,

rules, community, division of labor which helped to produce

the best practice as considered

Introduction

To document this best practice case study, Engstrom’s

triangle was used as a framework to organize and analyze

the work done.

Engstrom’s triangle “ is a useful tool for identifying the

deep seated contradictions that give rise to surface level

dis-coordination and conflict”. (Engeström's Expansive

Triangle ,2006)

Project Summary

The educational bag is a set of methods, tools and educational activities that

serve the educational situation and supports the curriculum through classroom

activities and descriptive. These instruments are saved in an orderly and

appropriate bag which is easy to carry and transport between the classroom,

and the focus of the bag to provide aids for the teacher during the teaching

process within the framework of the educational situation in the classroom,

which aims mainly to find practical solutions necessary for teaching the material

better and more enjoyable, it also enhance the realistic environment for

students to learn by providing active interaction in the classroom and outside.

Subject

The subject in this project is mainly students, the team of the school teachers

as well as the principle.

Main

Outcomes

These school educational bags contains different resources for the teachers to use for

different subjects which can help in finding practical solution to save time and effort and

serve the educational system. It also helps in the development of methods of teaching

and enrich the curriculum in line with what the students life. to develop the skills of

exploration, research and self-learning, which is one of the pillars of modern learning.

 Meet the need of the schools to fill the gap in the production of educational media that

you need in general curriculum, and curriculum developer in particular. Reduce pressure

on the laboratory school and the school library and technology room. Easy access to

hardware, tools and educational materials that serve a number of classroom activities

Main

Rules

The time has been set in order to finish a descent number of materials as possible in a

specific time frame. Each year tools are produced by individual efforts within the school

community in the different subjects taught.

The success of these kits was measured by the interactions created among the students

and level of involvement as well. It encouraged students to work in groups in the

affective way possible to meet the outcome of a certain lesson.

It filled the lack of educational materials as well as solved the problem of being provided

by these tools from the main city since the school is located in an oral area.

Students’ contribution to be part of displaying those kits in the various exhibitions and

educational gathering is a good measurement tool especially after getting thanking letters

from the sponsors.

Rules

In addition the educational kits was praised by number of the school visitors such as the

minister of education, Sharjah Eductional zone’s manager, RAK educational zone’s

manager, principles of government and private schools inside and outside the emirates

and the academic accreditation members.

Moreover this project saved a great deal of the school ‘s budget by providing the teachers

with the tools they need. Not to forget the skills that those tools enriches such as

exploration, assortment, assembling, perception and derivation

Main

Instruments

Tools (instruments): methodical and appropriate bag easy to carry and transport

between the classroom, and the focus of the bag to provide aids for the teacher

(working papers Enrichment and remedial - Transparencies - CD - videos -

Cards - Photos and means of real - Models small - samples).

Main

Community

Teachers have a share goal that is all teachers have a school educational bags that

contain different resources and help and serve the education process. They work as

different groups depend on their major and skills. Examples of this groups are :

The Mathematics group.

The Science Group.

The Arabic language Group.

The Islamic study Grope.

The Social study group.

The Technical support

Main

Division of Labor

Each group start by extracting the goals and aims of each curriculum, then agree on the best method to

achieve this goals by either a ( working papers Enrichment and remedial - Transparencies - CD - videos

- Cards - Photos and means of real - Models small – samples)

Then each member of the group choose mean that Consistent with the personal skill or ask for help from

other teachers or the technical support team. And then evaluate the outcome by analyzing the result of a

questionnaire done by teachers and students, as well as a general Supervision of a supervisor of each

subjects.

The technical support team is the basic of each group because they help members of the group to

assemble their work , In addition of the assistant of the members in search of sources. And also the

further plans of e-educational bags that will be put out as an internet source of every teacher within the

UAE curriculum so this group transfer the tools and work plan of each group to e-Aid.

Main

Summary

To sum up, for this action plan the activity of designing, developing,

implementing and evaluating of the Educational Bag is actually a system whole

in the sense that all elements have a relationship to other elements. In which

The relation between subject(teachers, learners, administrators) and the object

(finding practical solution to save time and effort and serve the educational

system for the schools to fill the gap in the production of educational media that

are needed in general curriculum, and curriculum developer in particular is

mediated by tools (or instruments) which are working papers Enrichment and

remedial - Transparencies - CD - videos - Cards - Photos and means of real -

Models small – samples.

 

 

The relationship between subject and community ( which are different subjects’

groups is mediated by rules (norms or constraints) regulating the use of time

and production of the bags , and that between object and community is

mediated by division of labor which is how to find the best method and divide

the work between the working groups.

Each of the mediating elements is historically formed and opened to further

development. Ever since an activity is formed, the corresponding mediating

elements are continuously reconstructed. This development is driven by

different contradictions; it is not a smooth and linear process but uneven and

discontinuous one.

An activity has an active subject (an individual or collective), who understands

the object (motive) of the activity. However, not all participants (community)

involved in an activity necessarily understand the motive of the activity in which

they are participating or even recognize the existence of one.

As the contradictions (structural tensions) of an activity system are aggravated

over a period of time, some individual participants begin to question and

deviate from its established norms. (Engeström's Expansive

Triangle ,2006)
