 friends welcome to my channel I am Harpata Karva and I am here with a very good news. So the good news is that from today onwards I am starting a brand new video series on YouTube for free for all the UGC net aspirants. In this video series I shall be covering each and every topic of UGC net paper one. Yes guys you have heard it right so I will be taking you through all the ten units one by one and in each of these ten units I will be covering each and every topic. Now a lot of students ask me that ma'am you have already prepared a crash core series on paper one. So let me tell you friends that crash core series was prepared in the year 2018. A few changes were made by NTA after that which was called as the new syllabus. So this video series would be as per the new syllabus of UGC net and I shall be taking you through each of the component of all the ten units. So make sure you subscribe to the channel because in the subsequent months I will be covering the entire course of UGC net paper one. Also I would like to tell you that a lot of students ask me that ma'am which book should we refer for UGC net paper one. Let me tell you my friends you can refer to any guide book for UGC net paper one. But the problem is that any guide book you pick would comprise of somewhere around 250 to 300 pages. Now it is very difficult for you to mug up all those 250 pages just to crack one particular paper which is also not very difficult in nature. So my intention behind this video series would be to talk about each and every subtopic in every unit and then I shall also be talking about what should you read from these subtopics from a guide book. So it is going to give you a complete overview of each of these units as well as it is going to give you a blueprint to start your preparation and to save so much of your time because I know for a student time is the most crucial resource and I want you guys to utilize it very properly. So without any further delay let's jump right into the topic that we are going to touch first and which is teaching aptitude. Teaching aptitude is the unit one for paper one UGC net syllabus. Now if you look at the latest UGC net syllabus under teaching aptitude unit you will find certain subtopics that they have listed and the questions are generally asked from these subtopics. So I am going to take each of these subtopics one by one and discuss it with you. So the first subtopic is concept of teaching. Now let us first understand in the concept of teaching what do you mean by teaching aptitude. So we all know that teaching is basically kisi ko padhana. It is kind of a process. Aptitude means ability to do something. So if we combine these two words teaching and aptitude it becomes teaching aptitude which means ability to teach. Now ability to teach why do we need to study this for UGC net exam. Let me tell you friends that the main aim of students who are sitting for this exam is to become a professor or a lecturer in any university or college. So it is very important for all of us to understand that we need to know how to teach. So in order to know how to teach you should also know how a person learns. So when we understand the psychology behind learning when we understand how a person learns we will make him teach in the same manner and we can become better teachers. So teaching aptitude unit basically focuses on understanding how a learner learns and how a teacher should teach. So from this particular subtopic of concept of teaching we have not seen a lot of questions being asked in net exam because it is an introductory section and they never ask questions from introductions. So just you need to keep in mind in concept of teaching the basic idea of teaching aptitude which means the ability to teach. The second topic that you must study in teaching aptitude is objectives of teaching. Now objectives of teaching basically talks about what the teacher aims when he is trying to teach a pupil or a student. Now the major objective as you must have guessed is to impart knowledge. For example I am trying to teach you something in this video and what is my intention that I should impart some knowledge to you guys by the end of this video. But is that the only objective of teaching? Think about it the teachers that you have been a fan of in your entire life do they only impart you knowledge or they help you become a better person. I am sure that you must be agreeing with the latter part of my sentence. They make overall changes in your behavior. They make you a better person. They help you for the overall development. So the objective of teaching is not only to impart knowledge but to also inculcate certain other qualities in the students. For example making them better at leadership or helping them to become a better team player or inculcating certain moral values in them. So if you get any question in regard to this topic objective of teaching make sure you don't pick the option which says that the objective of teaching is to just impart knowledge. For example very recently a question was asked in UGC net exam which asked us to select one of the following option. Now what was the question? The question was that what does the teaching aim at? Now there were options which might seem true to you but the correct option was modification of behavior. Teaching aims to modify the behavior of the student in totality. It's not just imparting knowledge but going beyond that. So make sure that after understanding concept of teaching when you move to objectives of teaching you understand that the objectives are way bigger than what it seems. The next important topic after looking at concept of teaching and objectives of teaching is levels of teaching. This is the third most important topic which has been listed in the UGC net updated syllabus under the unit teaching aptitude. So three major levels of teaching are there. Memory, understanding and reflective. Now you might worry that what are these levels and how do we use that? Basically levels means that teaching does not only take place at the memory level. The teacher's role is not just to give information and the student has to mug that up. No, teaching has a purpose way beyond that. It goes into the deeper layers of learning. So the first level of teaching is memory. Memory is basically rote learning. What we used to do while we were kids we used to mug up multiplication tables. We were not aware how are we going to use it in our life but we just used to mug it up. That was the first level, memory level. When the student merely mugs up whatever teacher is saying. The second is deeper one, understanding. If you have ever seen me teaching in YouTube or you have seen my audio lectures on my website or the course online courses that I'm running you will find that I keep on giving examples to the student whenever I'm trying to make them understand the concept. Why? Because I don't want student to just mug up what I'm saying. I want them to understand. So the second level of teaching is understanding. When you get examples and when you try to differentiate different examples with the main concept. The third level of learning is reflective. What is reflective? We all learn so many things in our lifetime. While we were kids we have learned geometry, we have learned trigonometry. Why have we learned it? Just because we had to pass an examination? No. We were made to learn that so that we can solve some real life problem. If any one of you have ever worked with an architect you must be aware of the fact that they use geometry to a different level. It is only through geometry, trigonometry that they are able to find out areas, they are able to design your homes. So the third level of learning is the reflective level where you use the concepts you've learned and you apply them to solve some real life problems. So these are the three levels of learning. What kind of questions are asked from this topic? The three levels of teaching mostly are asked in the format of match the following. You'll be given the three levels of teaching, you'll be given definition and then you'll be asked to match them up. Or else another kind of question that might pop up in the exam is what has been asked in one of the recent papers which of the following is not a level of teaching. So the options were reflective, memory, understanding and differentiation. Now that you know the concept I'm pretty sure you guessed the right answer which is differentiation. So in this particular video I have talked about three main subtopics that were asked in the UGC Nets syllabus. The first one being concept of teaching, second one being objective of teaching and the third one being level of teaching. In the subsequent videos I'll be talking about all the other subtopics in detail. Also I will be talking about different questions which has been asked from each of these subtopics so that you get a exam like feel and you exactly know what to study.
