 Okay, so in the meantime before I am able to share my screen, I will start with my presentation. Just give me a minute. So my theme for the day is Open Educational Resources and School Educators in India. Awareness to Implementation. So a brief update on the presenter, I'm Dr. Babita Parash. I completed my master's in bi-sciences and then pursued my EMMIT. After my EMMIT, I completed again in teacher education. I'm fortunate to be a special educator in the area of learning disability. So that's the profile which I'm here for. Now starting with the research question, which I will be, which motivated the present, you know, the research work which I'm presenting here is that how we can achieve the United Nations Sustainability Goals for Quality Education through empowering pre-service teachers on open educational resources. So as a country, we are RTE Act 2009, like Right to Education Act 2009, which enabled India and added us to the League of Other 135 countries where we declared right to education as a fundamental right to every citizen of India. By virtue of that, they were entitled for free and compulsory education from an age group of 6 to 14 years. And I'm very glad to share that we recently launched our national education policy 2020, which makes, which further widens the age ban from 6, instead of 6 to 14, now it will be from three years onwards. Every citizen of India is as a rightfully entitled for free and compulsory education. Now we come down to the teacher education in India. So just a brief on that, there are, a student completes their secondary school, after that they complete a diploma, a two-year diploma in teacher education. They can be a teacher at the primary level, a graduate or a post-graduate student. They also complete a degree in teacher education and they can teach till the middle school and the senior secondary school. And a four-year integrated teacher education program. So that is how you become a teacher in India. Then again, our national curriculum framework teacher education in 2009 has at the preamble like towards preparing professional and human teachers and so this was it. And then we recently had our guidelines for teacher education curriculum 2015, which identifies, which identifies that ICT and its application as an enhanced professional capacity. So every student teacher who enrolls for their teacher education program has to mandatorily go through this, which is like they will be oriented about the basic teacher education program in the teacher education program about ICT they will be trained and oriented for. So it gives me immense pleasure to share here that as a part of the research study when I went through the various curriculums which are being offered by state and central universities about OER there is a special mention in all these curriculum. So every pre-service teacher has to go through this syllabus and under that they are oriented about the open educational resources and their applications. What was alarming was that now when the first objective of the study was to maximize awareness about open education resources among pre-service teachers and to further enable them to create primer OERs. So these are the two objectives which with the present study was carried out. The definition which was underlined here was the UNESCO and called 2012 definition which says that open educational resources are teaching and learning research material in any medium digital or otherwise and that resides in the public domain or has been released under an open license that permits no cost access and all that. The population of the study the population for the present study was the pre-service teachers because I really wish to share my screen and I'm not able to do that I'm feeling so bad for it because there's so much of data there. It's a rich way we're enjoying listening to you so don't worry if we can't see your screen because we're very much doing this. Oh I didn't know I'm not. You can just talk in person because well you can share your slides later on the connect so that we can see that. You always say it's much more important. Sorry what? Oh you just keep talking it's fine. You can share your file later on the OUQ connect. So the population for the present study was the pre-service teachers and the sample which was chosen for the study was that the teachers who were enrolled in the two year regular teacher education program in Haryana state in India. Now it was an experimental design of the study because there were some students who were going through the regular program and the students who were chosen for it were a part of the experiment of it. Now about the sample demographics of the they were the entire sample was majority constituted by the female candidates like almost 84% of the participants for the female candidates and only three the remaining were the male candidates and the again the majority of the participants were the graduates and just 12% of them were the post-graduate. Now as I shared the stage one of the study was the curriculum analysis and majority of the universities have been offering open educational resources meaning and importance and various OER initiatives as a part of their curriculum. So all the students are you know go through that. The second stage of the study was where the participants a Google form was created as a questionnaire with 15 items to assess the awareness of pre-service teachers about OER. I would again like to reiterate that all of them complete this syllabus which is being offered to them and in this questionnaire the parameters like have they heard about OER? Do they know the difference between free content and open educational resources? Do they understand digital resource is same as OER or they are different? The various licenses in open educational resources and the ethics in using OER. So these were some of the parameters under which the questionnaire was designed and was shared. Again regarding the awareness now 55% respondents affirmed that they have heard about that term OER. So they were familiar that open educational resources is that type of resource which is available. The majority of the participants to be precise 76% were of the view that digital content and OER are same. There is no difference between the two. Only 23% reported that they have noticed the creative common symbol on the A-textbooks that they freely download and the remaining 77% of the respondents have not even noticed that there are different kind of symbols are there on the text that they freely download. And to my disappointment no respondent was a member of any open educational resource community. So that was the stage one with which stage two sorry. And this is the analysis of the question that we conducted. The stage three of the same was that the participants were motivated to enroll for the common the call course which is offered under the title understanding open educational resources. So the link was being shared with all the respondents and a regular healthy follow up was being maintained by the researcher here like that's myself in this case to motivate them to complete this course. The objective of sharing the course with them was so that they are being informed about the basic nuances, the certifications, what does OER means? It's a big battle that has been run. I'll take care of the time here. Thanks for the reminder. The stage four for the study was that they were introduced to the various repositories which exist in India. Like there is a repository which is exist like NR OER national repository for open educational resources. Again, I was disappointed as a researcher here that when I it is a part of my slide also on the screen that there are 19,113 resources which were available. And there are only 19,873 registered users on the website. So our country with a population of billions and millions of teachers and student teachers and teacher educators only 19,873 registered users exist on this national repository which is a part of the now which has been developed by NCRT. Now, next to that, there is another repository which exists as Ministry of Education which is EPG Parchala. A lot of digital content is there. So what I'm trying to emphasize here is that a lot of effort are being made by the Ministry of Education Government of India, but still it is not tickling down. It is not percolating to the right audience. If the content creators are more than the users, this gap will always exist. So what has to be done is that we need to create more awareness about so that they know that what exists, amazing work is being done across the globe. Like commonwealth of learning is doing such an amazing work. Our Open Educational Global Conference is creating such a beautiful platform of bringing everybody here. A special thanks to Taiwan Medical University also for giving this platform to us. But I believe that there is a lot of divide there in terms of the right kind of awareness. So to conclude the findings of this, there is a need for massive awareness drives at pre-service teacher education programs level. Inclusion of repositories and basic certification about OER is a core component of the curriculum. We cannot just stop that it exists there. We need to go deeper and farther there. And as teacher educators, as a faculty of education, we can promote effective use of OER during school internship programs. So if our student teachers know that they exist, we must motivate them to use more of OERs in their school internship programs so that it reaches the right audience, which is there. So that is my recommendation and request for further studies also that it can be scaled up. The research design can be scaled up for a further audience and a national level drives can be conducted there. There are a lot of school education, schools of education or the difficulty of teacher educations can come together and ensure that their pre-service teachers are informed about that. So that is from my end. And I'm so sorry for not being able to share my slides here. Otherwise, I'm sure it would have been great. I would have felt better. That's it. So thank you. Thank you for all the patient hearing there. Thank you very much. I'm sorry that you cannot share your slides. However, I recommend that you can upload your slides in TVF or in the OER Connect.
