Download B.Ed Special Education (HI) Practical Records & Lesson Plans (PDF)

Welcome to the Practicals & Records section of University Guide.

In B.Ed Special Education, theory exams are only half the battle. The real test of your skills happens in the Practical Exams. You are expected to maintain nearly 10 to 12 record files over two years!

Most students struggle because they don’t know how to write a Case Study or how to design a Lesson Plan specifically for a child with Hearing Impairment.

Don’t worry. This guide covers every single record you need to submit for your RCI Practical Exam. We have broken it down into simple sections with PDF formats you can download.

Why are Practical Records So Important?

Unlike general B.Ed, where you just teach a subject, in Special Education, you are a “Therapist-Teacher.”

• External Examiners check your files very strictly.
• Your Viva Voce marks depend entirely on how well you explain your Case Study and IEP.
• These records prove that you know how to handle a special child in a real classroom.

1. The Individualized Education Plan (IEP)

The IEP is the heart of Special Education. It is a document where you plan goals for one specific student based on their needs.

What to write in the IEP Record:

1. Demographic Data: Name, Age, Gender, Degree of Hearing Loss (dB level).
2. Current Level of Performance: What can the child do right now? (e.g., “Child can match objects but cannot name them”).
3. Goal Setting:
   • Annual Goal: “Child will learn 50 new words by the end of the year.”
   • Short Term Objective (STO): “Child will learn names of 5 fruits in 2 weeks.”
4. Evaluation: Did the child achieve the goal? (Marked as Independent, Verbal Prompt, or Physical Prompt).

2. The Case Study Record

A Case Study is a deep investigation into the life of a student with a disability. You have to visit their home, talk to parents, and observe the child.

Structure of a Good Case Study:

• Family History: Is there a history of deafness in the family? (Consanguinity).
• Medical History: Was the mother ill during pregnancy? Was the delivery normal?
• Developmental History: At what age did the child sit, walk, and babble?
• Problem Behaviour: Does the child hit others? Is the child shy?
• Conclusion: Your recommendation for the parents.

Viva Question: Why is family history important in a Case Study? Answer: To understand if the hearing loss is genetic or acquired.

3. Lesson Plans for Hearing Impairment

Teaching a deaf child is different from teaching a hearing child. You cannot just talk; you have to show. Your lesson plan file must include three types of lessons:

A. Curricular Lessons (Subject Teaching)

• Teaching Science/Maths/Social using Visual Aids.
• Adaptation: Simplifying the language of the textbook.

B. Language Lessons

• Teaching “Structure” instead of content.
• Example: Teaching the concept of “On/In/Under” (Prepositions) using toys.

C. Speech Lessons

• Teaching the child how to pronounce sounds (Articulation).
• Example: Teaching the sound /ba/ vs /pa/ using a paper strip to show air breath.

4. Audiology & Speech Record

This is the most technical file. It shows your medical knowledge of the ear.

What to include:

1. Diagrams: Anatomy of the External, Middle, and Inner Ear.
2. Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA): You must paste actual Audiograms and explain them.
   • X-O Symbols: X is for Left Ear, O is for Right Ear.
   • Degree of Loss: Mild, Moderate, Severe, or Profound.
3. Hearing Aids: Pictures of BTE (Behind-the-Ear) and Cochlear Implants.
4. Ling 6 Sound Test: A report on how the child responds to sounds like /a/, /u/, /i/, /s/, /sh/, /m/.

5. Psychology Practical Record

In this file, you perform tests to check the child’s intelligence and behavior.

Common Tests used in B.Ed (HI):

• SFB (Seguin Form Board): A simple puzzle test to check intelligence in young children.
• VSMS (Vineland Social Maturity Scale): To check if the child is socially independent (eating, dressing, etc.).
• DST (Developmental Screening Test): To see if the child’s growth is normal for their age.

6. Observation & Visit Reports

During your course, you will visit different institutes. You must write a report for each visit.

• Visit to Special School (HI): How are the classrooms arranged? (Semi-circular seating).
• Visit to Inclusive School: How does the special child sit with normal children?
• Visit to Speech & Hearing Clinic: What equipment did you see? (Audiometers, Sound Treated Rooms).

7. Internship Records (Semester 3 & 4)

This is the “Daily Diary” of your teaching practice.

• Attendance Register: Signature of the school principal.
• Daily Log: “Today I taught Chapter 4 to Class 5.”
• Reflective Journal: “Today I faced a problem—student Ravi was crying. I solved it by…”

Top 5 Viva Questions (Prepare These!)

External examiners always ask these questions during the practical exam:

1. “What is the difference between IEP and Lesson Plan?”
   • Ans: IEP is for ONE student (individual goals). Lesson Plan is for the WHOLE class (group teaching).
2. “What is 60 dB hearing loss?”
   • Ans: It is Moderately Severe hearing loss. The child needs a hearing aid to hear normal conversation.
3. “What is ISO?”
   • Ans: International Standards Organization (used for calibration of audiometers).
4. “What is Total Communication?”
   • Ans: Using Speech + Sign Language + Lip Reading + Hearing Aids all together.
5. “Explain the parts of a Hearing Aid.”
   • Ans: Microphone, Amplifier, Receiver, Battery.

Conclusion

Maintaining practical records can be tiring, but they are your best resource for learning. A well-written Case Study can teach you more than a whole textbook.
