Activity-Based Continuous Assessment (ABCA)

The Activity-Based Continuous Assessment (ABCA) in the BPEd (Bachelor of Physical Education) program is designed to promote a more comprehensive evaluation of students through diverse and practical learning experiences. Here are the key features typically involved:

1. Application-Based Learning:
• Real-World Application: Assignments and assessments are geared toward applying theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios, particularly in the context of physical education, sports coaching, and fitness training.

2. Continuous Evaluation:
• Regular Assessments: Students are assessed continuously throughout the semester through various tasks like case studies, projects, and fieldwork, ensuring consistent academic performance.
• Regularity in Theory: Attendance, participation, and engagement in classroom discussions also contribute to assessment scores.

3. Practical Engagement:
• Ground Visits and Fieldwork: Students are involved in field trips, industrial visits, or practical sessions that help them understand real-life practices in sports and fitness industries.
• Skill-Based Activities: Demonstrating skills in different sports, fitness regimes, and physical education methodologies are a crucial part of the assessment.

4. Creative Assignments:
• Poster Presentations & Case Writing: These allow students to explore physical education topics creatively and present their insights through visual and written formats.
• Projects: Students undertake projects related to fitness management, training regimes, or sports event planning as part of their practical assessments.

5. Open Book Tests & Quizzes:
• These assessments focus on the understanding and application of knowledge rather than rote learning, encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

6. Research and Review Papers:
• Literature Reviews and Reports: Students may be asked to write review papers on sports science topics, trends in physical education, or innovations in sports technology.

7. Seminars and Presentations:
• Students are evaluated on their ability to present topics, lead discussions, and engage with peers in seminars related to physical education and sports science.

8. Group Projects and Teamwork:
• Collaborative Learning: Many assessments are group-based, encouraging teamwork, leadership, and communication skills essential for physical education professionals.

9. Use of Technology and Digital Tools:
• Digital Assignments: Students may be required to use sports analytics software, fitness tracking apps, or create digital presentations to enhance their understanding of modern sports education.

10. Library Assignments:
• Research-Oriented Learning: Students are encouraged to explore academic journals, books, and online resources related to physical education and sports to support their assessments.

This holistic approach ensures that students in the BPEd program are prepared for both the theoretical and practical demands of their future careers in physical education, sports coaching, and fitness management.

Summer training in physical education offers a valuable opportunity for students to gain practical experience and enhance their skills in a real-world setting. During this period, participants engage in a variety of activities designed to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. The training typically includes hands-on coaching, program development, and management of physical education programs or sports teams. Students work closely with experienced professionals, gaining insights into effective training techniques, injury prevention, and performance enhancement strategies. Additionally, summer training often involves exposure to different sports and physical activities, allowing students to broaden their expertise and understanding of various disciplines. This practical experience is crucial for developing a wellrounded skill set, as it complements classroom learning with real-world application. By participating in summer training, students also have the chance to build professional networks, which can be beneficial for future career opportunities. Overall, summer training in physical education is an essential component of professional development, providing students with the practical experience needed to excel in the field and prepare for successful careers in sports and physical education.

Report on Industrial Visit to Shri Atal Bihari Bajpayee Training Centre for Divyang Sports

On 7th March 2024, the School of Sports Education (SOSE) organized an industrial visit to the Shri Atal Bihari Bajpayee Training Centre for Divyang Sports for the students of the Bachelor of Physical Education and Sports (BPES) program. The visit was supervised by Prof. Indu Mazumder, with 35 students participating.

The Centre, an autonomous body established under the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan), Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, spans 34 acres and was developed with a budget of 151.16 crores. It features world-class facilities including an Indoor Sports Complex, an Outdoor Sports Complex with Athletic and Practice Tracks, an Aquatic Centre, and a Hostel Building.

The students were welcomed by Miss Pallavi, the Deputy Manager, who, along with her team, guided them through the various facilities and training areas. They also had an interactive session with Prof. V.K. Dabas, often referred to as the father of Paralympics in India and the key figure behind the establishment of the training centre in Gwalior.

The visit was highly educational, encouraging students to reflect on their own abilities and inspiring them with a renewed sense of energy and purpose. The students were also invited to return for future visits and potential officiating opportunities at the centre.
