Foreword
Dear Teachers,

This Teachers Sourcebook on Maintenance and Repairs of Radio

and Television introduces the teacher to the main principles and practices of the revised pedagogy which is activity-based, processoriented and learner-centred. The realisation that learning is not mere storing information in memory and that real learning is construction of knowledge through observation, comparison, classification and analysis has led us to give a new thrust to the teaching-learning process at Vocational Higher Secondary level to make it more meaningful and learner-friendly. This sourcebook has been developed primarily for the benefit of teachers who teach Maintenance and Repairs of Radio and Television at Vocational Higher Secondary level. The subject matter has been dealt with utmost care, in tune with the revised curriculum and pedagogic principles. It is hoped that this book will enable the teacher to provide suitable learning activities for effective learning. The success of the approach depends upon the vision and commitment of the teacher. They are expected to make use of this sourcebook at all stages of their teaching process. It is also expected that the teacher would seek help and guidance from other sources like libraries and websites. Hope that this sourcebook will help the teacher to develop the skills and experience required for effective classroom transaction. Creative criticism and suggestions for improvement are most welcome. With regards,

Thiruvananthapuram July, 2006

GENERAL APPROACH

SIGNIFICANCE OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

The ultimate aim of education is human refinement. Education should enable the learner to formulate a positive outlook towards life and to accept a stand which suits the well being of the society and the individual as well. The attitude and potential to work has determined the destiny, progress and cultural development of the human race. As we all are aware, the objective of education is to form a society and individuals having a positive work culture. The educational process expected in and outside our formal schools should concentrate upon inculcating concepts, abilities, attitudes and values in tune with these work culture. Hence vocationalised education cannot be isolated from the main stream of education. In another sense, every educational process should be vocationalised. However due to our inability to utilize the resources wisely, scarcity of job opportunities is a severe issue of the present society. For overcoming this deep crisis, emergent techniques have to be sorted out and appropriate researches have to be seriously carried out. It is in the sense that the content and methodology of Vocational Higher Secondary Education have to be approached. The need for meaningful linkages between the world of work and world of education is well recognized. The essence of the recommendations made by various commissions and committees is that the vocationalisation should be the main feature of the future system of education at the higher secondary stage, it can be extended to school level also. Vocational education is system of education which intends to prepare learners for identified occupations , opening several areas of activities. The Vocational Higher Secondary course was envisaged as a part of the National Policy on Education with the noble idea of securing a job along with education. The relevance of vocational education is very great in this age of unemployment. This education system, which ensures a job along with higher education stands aloof from other systems of education.

MRRTV

This education imparts the life skills required by the youth to enter the world of work and assuming the responsibilities of adulthood. As per the expert meeting report (2001) of UNESCO, the life skills are grouped under 4 categories. They are 1. 2. 3. 4. Skills for personal fulfillment Skills for living in society Skills for dealing with changing economies Skills for dealing with changing work patterns.

Vocational Education ensures fulfillment of manpower requirement or national development and for social security for the citizens through self-employment. It also helps to reduce the migration of rural youth to urban areas and thus helps in rural development. The learners of Vocational Education get an opportunity to avail one year apprenticeship training in industries to improve their practical skill. During the course of study, on the job training (OJT) for 10 days in a year is arranged to improve the skill and efficiency of the learner. This education system motivates the attitude towards self employment through Production Cum Service Training Centres. (PSTC)
OBJECTIVE OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

The National policy on education has accorded very high priority to the program of vocationalisation of education, considering the following objectives. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. To fulfill national goals of development and the removal of unemployment and poverty. To impart education relevant to increased production and productivity, economic development and individual prosperity. To make available skilled work force at all levels to alleviate the rural unemployment and for the development of nation. To develop environmental awareness to ensure sustainable development. To develop vocational aptitude, work culture, values and attitudes of the learners so as to enrich the productivity of the nation. To develop entrepreneurial competencies and skills of learners for self reliance and to undertake gainful self employment. To facilitate the expansion of higher education and explore future opportunities through innovative guidance and programmes. To develop vocational competencies, creative thinking in the related areas and facilitate training. To create awareness on mental, physical and social health. To acquire awareness about different job areas and to provide backgrounds for acquiring higher level training in subjects concerned.

Learning

Learning is construction of knowledge through a continuous mental process. It is advancement through adding and correcting in the light of comparing the new issue with the previously learned concepts. Learning is an intellectual process rather than the mere memorization of facts. Learning is a conglomeration of a variety of activities like problem solving, finding out co-relations, prediction, arriving at conclusions, rational as well as critical thinking, finding applications, grouping for other possibilities and extracting the crux when opportunities are provided for intellectual processes learning will become effective and intellectual ability will get strengthened.
Theoretical foundations of learning

Education is the best device that can be adopted for creation of a new society. It should be democratic in content and process and should acknowledge the rights of the learner. It should also provide opportunity for better citizenship training. The concept of equality at all areas should get recognition in theory and practice. There should be conscious programme of action to develop nationality, humanness and love against the encroachment of sectarianism of caste and religion. The learner should become cognisent of the implications of privatisation, liberalisation, globalisation etc. They should develop a discrimination to use the acquired learning as a liberative weapon. They should be able to view education and life with the perspective of social well being. A basic awareness of all the subjects needed for life is essential for all learners. The remnants of perspectives formed in us during the colonial period still influence our educational philosophy. The solution to the present day perplexities of the society which approaches education on the basis of competitions and marketisation is only a comprehensive view of life. It is high time that education was recognized on the basis of the philosophy of human education. The human approach to education has to reflect in its content, learning process and outlook. The perspective of 'learning to be' and learning to live together as expressed by the UNESCO and the concepts of existential, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence. The basis of new approaches on curriculum and teaching- learning process are derived from the developments took place in the east and west of the world. When we begin to see the learner at the centre of the learning process, the teaching process has to be changed timely. It is the result of the rapid growth and development of Science and Technology and Pedagogy. If we want to undergo the changing process, we have to imbibe the modern hypothesis regarding learner that they have
8

MRRTV

great curiosity good imagination numerous other qualities and interests independent individuality interest in free thinking and working in a fearless atmosphere. interest in enquiring and questioning. ability to reach conclusions after logical thinking. ability for manifest and establish freely the conclusions arrived at. interest for recognition in the society. determination to face the interference of society and make components which is a part of social life.

When we consider the learning system, the domains to be stressed in education according to the modern development becomes relevant. The knowledge domain consists of Facts Ideas Laws The temporary conclusions and principles used presently by scientists.

The learning is a process. The continuous procedures we undergo to reach a particular goal is process. The skills which are parts of the process to analyze the collected ideas and proofs and come to a conclusion is called process skills. Some important process skills are, the skills; To observe To collect data and record To classify To measure and prepare charts To experiment To predict To recognize and control the variables To raise questions To generalize To form a hypothesis and check. To conclude
9

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

To communicate To predict and infer To use tools.

Observation is the process of acquiring knowledge through the senses. It is purely objective oriented. Learning experiences which provide the use all the sense may be used. The process of grouping is known as classifying. Starting from simple groupings of data, it can extend to the level of classification into minute sub-groups. In addition to this, consider the skills related to creative domain also, they are skills: To visualize To connect facts and ideas in new ways. To find out new and uncommon uses of objects To fantasize To dream To develop creative isolated thoughts

Creativity is an essential component of process and activities. The element of creativity is involved in finding out problems, formation of hypothesis, finding 'solutions' to problems etc. Through activity oriented learning experiences, opportunities to express creativity can be created. Again, the following factors consisting in the Attitudinal domain are also important as; Self confidence Love for scientific knowledge Attitude to know and value history Respect human emotions Decide with reasonable present problems Take logical decisions ragarding personal values

'Hypothesis' is a temporary conclusion drawn using insight. Based on knowledge and experiences relating to the problems the causes and solutions can be guessed. As regards the application domain the important factors are the ability to:
10

observe in daily life examples of ideas acquired. take the help of scientific process to solve the problems of daily life. choose a scientific life style connect the ideas acquired with other subjects.

MRRTV

integrate the subjects with other subjects.

Some basic stands have to be taken on the new scientific knowledge about intelligence learning and teaching. When such basic concepts are accepted changes are required in the following factors. The vision, approach, structure and content of the curriculum. The vision, approach, structure and content of the textbooks. Role of the teacher and the learner. Learner atmosphere, learning materials and learning techniques.

Some scientific perspectives accepted by modem world in educational psychology are given below.
Constructivism

This approach puts forward the concept that the learner constructs knowledge. New knowledge is constructed when ideas are examined and practiced in new situations relating them with the previously acquired knowledge and experience. That is assimilated into the cognitive structure of one's knowledge. This method which gives priority to critical thinking and problem solving provides opportunity for self motivated learning.
Social' Constructivism

Social constructivism is a sub section of constructivism. Knowledge is formed, spread and imbibed and it becomes relevant in a social environment. Interactive learning, group learning, co-operative participatory learning, all these are concepts put forward by social constructivism. The main propounders of constructivism are Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner. Discovery learning and interactive learning have prime importance. Learning takes place as a part of the attempt for problem solving. The activities of a learner who confronts cognitive disequilibrium in a learning situation when he tries to overcome it leades to the renewal of cognitive structure. it is through this process construction of new knowledge and the assimilation of them take place. Observation and enquiry are unavoidable factors. The learner advances towards new areas of acquisition of knowledge where he tries to compare his new findings with the existing concepts. Learning is a live mental process. Rather than the ability for memorization of facts cognitive process has to be given emphasis. The process of problem analysis, elucidation, critical thinking, rational thinking, finding out co-relation, prediction, hypothesis formation, application, probing for other possibilities, extracting the crux and other processes are of critical importance in learning. Constructivism gives greater predominance to co-operative learning. Social and cultural factors influence learning. Sharing of knowledge and experience among learners,
11

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

collective enquiry, assessment and improvement, group activity and collaborative learning by sharing responsibilities with the objective of public activity, provide opportunity for effective learning. In learning internal motivation is more important than external motivation. The learner should have interest and initiative in learning. Learning situation should be capable of forming a sense of ownership in the learner regarding the learning process. Learning is not a linear process. It progresses in a spiraled way advancing deeper and wider.
New concepts of Learning

1. Discovery Learning The teacher has to create a motivating atmosphere for the learner to discover concepts and facts, instead of listening always. Creating occasion to progress towards discovery is preferred. Instead of telling everything before and compelling to initiate the models, situations are to be created to help the children act models as themselves. 2. Learning by discussion Discussion leads to learn is Burner's theory. Here discussion is not opposing each other. It is a sharing on the plane of ideas. New ideas are arrived at by seeking explanations, by mutual giving and taking of ideas and by problem solving. 3. Problem solving and learning Only when the learner feels that some thing is a problem to be solved that he takes the responsibility of learning it. It is an inborn tendency to act to solve a problem that causes cognitive disequilibrium in a particular area. It is also needed to have confidence that one is capable of doing it. The problems are to be presented in consideration of the ability and level of attainment of the learner. 4. Collaborative learning This is the learning in which the responsibilities are distributed among the members of the group keeping common learning objectives. The common responsibility of the group will be successful only if each member discharges his duties. All the members will reach a stage of sharing the result of learning, equally through the activity with mutual understanding. The teachers who arrange collaborative learning will have to make clear the responsibilities to be discharged. This is possible through the discussion with the learners. Collaborative learning will help to avoid the situations of one person working for the whole group. 5. Co-operative learning This is the learning in which the learners help one another. Those who have more knowledge, experience and competency, will help others. By this exchange of resources the learners develop a plane of social system in learning also. As there are no high ups and
12

MRRTV

low ones according to status among the learners they can ask the fellow learners doubts and for helps without any hesitation or in hesitation Care should be taken not to lead this seeking of help to mechanical copying. It should be on the basis of actual needs. So even while encouraging this exchange of ideas, among the members of the group cautious acceptance is to be observed as a convention. There should be an understanding that satisfactory responses should come from each member and that the achievement of the group will be assessed on the basis of the achievement of all the members 6 Zone of Proximal Development Vygotsky observes that there is a stage of achievement where a learner can reach by himself and another higher zone where he can reach with the help of his teachers and peers and elders. Even though some can fulfill the learning activity by themselves there is the possibility of a higher excellence. If appropriate help is forth covering every learner can better himself. 7 Scaffolding It is natural that the learner may not be able to complete his work if he does not get support at the proper-time-The learner may require the help of the teacher in several learning activities. Here helping means to make the learner complete the activity taking responsibility by himself. The teacher has to keep in mind the objective of enabling the learner to take the responsibility and to make it successful. 8. Learning an active mental process Learning being a cognitive process, the teacher needs to know cognitive processes to facilitate the creation of learning opportunities. Learning can be made effective by providing learning experiences involving mental processes like Retrieves/recollects/retells information Readily makes connections to new information based on past experiences and formulates initial ideas /concepts. Detects similarities and differences Classifies/categorise/organizes information approximately. Translates/transfer knowledge or understanding and applies them in a new situation. Establishes cause-effect relationships Makes connections/relates prior knowledge to new information/applies reasoning and draw inferences Communicates knowledge/understanding through different media. Imagines/fantasises/designs/predicts based on received information

13

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

Judges /appraises/evaluates the merits or demerits of an idea/develops own solutions to a problem.

9. Intrinsic Motivation Intrinsic motivation is given more importance than extrinsic motivation. The teacher has to arouse the internal motivation of the learner. A person internally motivated alone can immerse in learning and own its responsibility. A unified approach to multiple intelligence
Components of intelligence

1.

Verbal/Linguistic intelligence

The ability for reading, writing, verbal production speak and communicate effectively belong to this type. This type of intelligence can be developed through activities such as oral communication, report writing etc. 2. Logical/Mathematical intelligence.

Abilities like logical thinking and finding out patterns and relations belong to this component. This type of intelligence developed through establishing relationships and mathematical operations. 3. Visual/Spatial intelligence

People with prominently visual/spatial intelligence will be able to design models and execute ideas they have. Architects, designers and sculptures will be strong in this type of intelligence. Model building, making of art material, painting and drawing will help this component develop. 4. Bodily/ Kinesthetic intelligence.

This intelligence is related to the ability to move the body parts. Dancers, actors and sports people who can move the body aesthetically and express emotions through body movements belong to this category. Activities involving Dance, aerobic, sports and games help the development of this type of intelligence. 5. Musical intelligence.

It is believed that this type of intelligence is highly developed in people with the ability to distinguish the different elements in music, performing musicians and those who can appreciate music. Playing musical instruments, singing along with others, keeping rhythm etc are activities that help the development of this component. 6. Interpersonal intelligence

People who demonstrate leadership qualities and are able to interact in a positive way with others will have a better developed interpersonal intelligence. They can understand
14

MRRTV

the thinking of others and can successfully involve in negotiation activities. Role play and group activities can be used to cultivate this intelligence. 7. Intrapersonal Intelligence

This is the ability to understand oneself. These people can recognize their own abilities and disabilities. Writing diaries truthfully and in an analyzing way and assessing the ideas and activities of others will help developing this areas of intelligence 8. Naturalistic Intelligence

A great interest in the flora and fauna of the nature, love towards fellow beings interest in spiritual and natural factors will be capable of developing this area. 9. Existential Intelligence

The ability to see and distinguish ours own existence as a part of the universe, ability to distinguish the meaning and meaninglessness of life, the ability to realize the ultimate nature of mental and physical existences, all these re the peculiarities of this faculty of intelligence.
Emotional Intelligence

The concept of emotional intelligence put forward by Daniel Golman was used in framing the new curriculum. The fact that one's Emotional Quotient (E.Q) is the greatest factor affecting success in life is now widely accepted. The teacher who aims to focus on improving the emotional intelligence of learners need to concentrate on the following. i) Ability to take decisions

Rather than imposing decision on learners while planning and executing activities, the learners may be allowed to take part in the decision making process. Taking decisions through open discussion in the class, inviting learners suggestions on common problems etc. are habits to be cultivated. ii) Ability to reach consensus iii) When different opinions, ideas and positions arise, the learners may be given the responsibility to reach a consensus. Imagining what would be the course of action in some situtations, allowing to intervene in a healthy way in problems between individuals.

Problem solving Developing the idea that there is reason and solution to any problem. Training in finding reasons for problems. Suggesting solutions through individual or group efforts. Discussing social problems.
15

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

Analyzing the shortcomings in methods to solve problems.

Whether plastic can be banned within school premises can be given as a problem. Group discussion will provide reasons and solutions. Problems which can influence classroom learning and for which the learner can actively contribute solution need to be posed Self criticism, evaluation Ability to face problem-situation in life Thinking what one would do if placed in the situation of others, how one would respond to certain experiences of others - All these foster the growth of emotional intelligence.

iv)

Life skills

Life skills need to be given a prominent place in education. W.H.O. has listed : skills required for-success in life. Self awareness Empathy Inter personal relations Communication Critical thinking Creative thinking Decision making Problem solving Coping with emotion Coping with stress

The new curriculum addresses these areas. Knowing the characteristics of the learner, role of the teacher and how to use the teachers handbook help the teacher to plan and effectively implement learning activities.

16

MRRTV

Role of a Vocational Teacher


In the earlier approach the teacher was mainly depending on the lecture method for teaching. But in the new method of education the learner centered approach in given more importance than the teacher centered approach. Under this changed scenario the vocational teacher has to perform the following roles in the classroom. The Vocational teacher should be A facilitator of learning A guide to the overall development of the learner A good observer and motivator Able to consider the activities, needs, special features and age group of learners at higher secondary level. Able to understand the limitations of learner and their learning problems. An instructional material developers A good communicator An innovator Able to raise leadership qualities and self confidence of the learner An authoritarian in the concerned subject Able to arrest and sustain the attention of the learner Able to bring out and encourage the inborn talents. A resource manger to ensure the optimum utilization of resources. A systematic record keeper A counselor to issue guidance to the learner. A person with high level of practical competency Able to correlate area of study with familiar environmental situations A self evaluator and good listener Able to create awareness in social problems A person with democratic and humanitarian approach A professionalist as well as philosopher A good evaluator A good organizer and a friend. A co-learner as well as co-researcher Able to give assistance and advice in placement needs and self employment by giving moral and technical support
17

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

Able to keep moral values A person equipped with skill for using new techniques of learning Optimistic and impartial

Child friendly Class Room Atmosphere

Learning can be effective and enjoyable only when the class atmosphere is according to the new conception of learning and the characteristics of higher secondary learner. Class and seating are arranged in an attractive way Democratic nature is upheld Always active Learners interact with teachers without fear Opportunity for a variety of activities Learners allowed to involve interesting group activities Learning speed, learning style and differencing levels of attitudes are considered. Help is extended whenever needed. Sufficient instructional materials are available There is freedom of expression, learners share their ideas and experiences Learners are given acceptance and encouragement Healthy atmosphere Needs of each learner is given consideration. Happy and energetic atmosphere Teachers work considering the rights of learners Problems handled in a patient way Teachers work at all events from the learners view point

There will be learners of various ability levels in every class because learning style, learning speed, varying exposure to language experiences, physical and psychological problems and varying socio-cultural background. The learning experiences provided must help to bring the low activities to an expected level and extended the breadth and depth of the skills of the high activities. By repeating experiences, introducing variations in a learning experience to suit different levels and if needed, formulating additional experiences the problem of varying ability levels can be tackled.

18

MRRTV

Role of Learner
The learner in second year has undergone a learner centered and process oriented learning experience up to first year. The learner at this age is in awakening stage and he is enthusiastic about environment. He needs recognition and encouragement from environment and also recognize as a grown up man. He is adequately competent to select vocational subjects according to his aptitude and interest and to acquire higher education and profession as he wishes. The aspirations about future life is framed in this particular age for seeming national and international job opportunities. Some of the peculiarities of learner at this stage are; Physical, intellectual and emotional changes are intensive during the age and their reflections can be observed Ability to enquire discover and establish cause effect relationship between phenomena Readiness to undertake challenges Capacity to shoulder leadership roles Attempt to interpret oneself Susceptibility to different pressures Doubts, anxieties and eagerness about sex Imaging for social recognition Active participant in the learning process Act as a researcher Sharer of information Sharer of responsibilities Collect information Jakes leadership Involves in group work Act as a co-participant Observes his environment Experiments and realize Make interpretations and draw inferences Mould himself in to an active contributor for the welfare of the society

19

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

Needs of Learner

To make acquaintance with a job or self employment through vocational education To acquire more knowledge in the concerned area through higher education To recognize and encourage the peculiar personality of the later adolescent period To enable him to defend against the unfavorable circumstances without any help

Evaluation

In vocational higher secondary education, a new approach to education and evaluation should be made. Evaluation must be a systematic and continuous process. As the curriculum is based on vocational stream, capacity building is a most important part and it should be evaluated accordingly. The technical skills, interest in the particular field, communication skill, analysis organizing and presentation skills etc have to be evaluated. The personal and social qualities also have to be evaluated. Therefore, evaluation should be transparent, continuous and comprehensive.
Monitoring system

Education is a kind of journey from darkness to light satisfying the needs and the wants of the individual and the society. The modernization of education through activity oriented system enhances free thinking and working in a fearless atmosphere. It is a qualitative process not a quantitative one this necessitates a proper monitoring system. The system of monitoring should have the following features. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 1. 2. 3. It must be transparent It must enrich the ideas of the facilitator through innovative process It must be time bound and rational It must motive the facilitator to adopt new strategies It must be recordable and ensure effective feedback for the effective monitoring of the system, three levels of the mechanism should be setup. School level monitoring group Regional level monitoring group State level monitoring group

Moreover a social auditing system is advisable to attain the objective effectively.


Supporting System

In learner centered vocational education, a learning methodology has to be organized and a proper learning atmosphere is to be provided. Many organizations can support the
20

MRRTV

learning activity. They are:1) School Resource Group (SRG) Comprising all teachers (vocational and non vocational) instructors, and lab assistants with academic head as the group leader. 2) School support Group (SSG) Comprising PTA president, members of local bodies, members of social clubs, subject experts etc who can contribute guidance /technology /infrastructure / financial assistance etc. 3) Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Can provide adequate funds for field trips, production cum training centers (PCTC), exhibition, On Job training (OJT) etc. 4) Local bodies Grama Panchayat, district panchayat and block panchayat can provide infrastructure ie, class rooms, laboratory, library, seminar hall, audiovisual equipment etc. 5) Subject club All vocational teachers handling same vocational subjects should form a subject club at regional level or district level. This will helps to share the knowledge and practical facilities, production and marketing of materials, service etc. 6) 7) Based on the excellency, district wise nodal schools may be selected to provide facilities like central library, museums, video conferencing etc. Institution Industry Interaction Project (III P) This should be implemented in every institution to update knowledge this also helps for OJT , PCTC and field visit.
Features of learning process in the new system of education

In the new system of education the learning process should be modified in such a way as to enable the learner to construct the knowledge of his own through observation, co-operation, problem solving, social interaction etc. The learning process should consider the nature ability, social setup, inborn talents and subject selected by the learner. Therefore the learning process should be, A continuous mental process Simple - learner must feel that he is able to undertake the task Enable the learner to attain the curriculum objective Interesting Suitable to the age and attitude of the learner

21

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

Future possibilities Enable group activity Challenging Time bound Constructive and curiosity developing Possibilities for evaluation Capacity to generate independent thinking Ability to enquire discovers and establish cause effect relationship between phenomena.

Learning Aids

To make the teaching and learning process simple and effective, certain learning aids and necessary use of such aids are transacting a complex idea makes the class room live and learners get more and more involved. The advancement of science and technology may be effectively utilized for this purpose. Some of the learning aids listed below.
Society

Multimedia Over Head Projector Computer Internet Liquid Crystal display Projector TV, VCD, DVD and tape recorders Working models Charts Slides Video Conferencing facility Library Text book Source book

The new educational policy uplifts the social commitment of the learner. Therefore the society can also give some valuable contributions in this changing situation. The new system also ensures that the learner can perform certain useful services for the betterment of society. The social obligations can be illustrated as follows. To enrich social values, aptitude and ability in learner

22

MRRTV

To develop entrepreneurial aptitude and ability which helps social welfare and self employment New system of education adopts OJT, PSTC etc as a part of vocational curriculum which helps to make close contact with the society. The resources available from our society can be positively utilized to convene seminars, interview etc. Social organizations can help learners to make their education socially committed. The social clubs like NSS, Tourism club, Eco club, energy club etc functioning in schools can make direct link with the society.

SUBJECT APPROACH

Introduction
The eternal search of the mankind for better living conditions and comfort has forced a radical revolution in the field of science and technology. Starting from the invention of wheels, it has passed through many stages and steps to enter into the era of computers and information technology. Though the progress was steady and gradual at the initial stages, non in the modern times, when the world is dashing from electronics to photonics, the developments has acquired an unimaginable pace and depth. Neverthless to say, for any one who glimpses around these changes it is very clear and factual that electronics serves the foundation for most of these developments. No matter, if it is simple calculator or a highly sophisticated space craft. This undebatable relevance of electronics in the modern world has ofcourse paved the way for the creation of a large number of opportunities in the related fields. In this context, the vocational higher secondary course in MRRTV is so designed as to enable the learner to develop the necessary skills to establish himself as a prominant service technician in this field. With this concept in mind, the subject is given a clean orientation towards practical applications. Any how theoretical explanations and hypothesis are supplemented when and where required.

Learning Approach
Any modern curriculum visualises learning as a continuous and smooth process leading to a behavioural change in the learner. In that sense, the learner himself is the creator of knowledge. Real knowledge is a result of factual experiences and is cemented through activities in which the learner should be the main participant. As far as learning of
26

MRRTV

technical subjects are concerned, this is more significant. Because only that knowledge acquired through real practical or working experience can be effectively applied to tackle a needy situation. In general the curriculum envisages to promote three basic qualifiers - multiple intelligence, constructivism and emotional quotient(E.Q) - of the learner. That is, the learning process should contribute for the overall development of various facts of multiple intelligence such as linguistic intelligence, logical intelligence, visual intelligence, kinaesthetic (bodily) intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intra-personal intelligence, musical intelligence and naturalistic intelligence of the learner. Secondly the various methods adopted for learing should be helpful to develop the constructivism within the learner. Methods, like Inquiry learning, Problem solving learning ........ etc are highly useful in this regard. Last but not the least important is the improvement of the emotional quotient of the learner. Emotional quotient (E.Q) of a person is an indicator of his ability for decision making, problem solving, investigative thinking and innovative approach which lead to the leadership qualities within him. The learning methods should enhance these qualifies and raise the E.Q of the learner. Apart from above listed personal aspects, another significant factor that should be considered while framing a curriculum is the social impact on the outcome of the learning process. The knowledge and skill acquired by the learner must be contributive for the overall development of the society and should serve as a catalyst for the social development of the region or area where he resides. To achieve the above goals, the learning process must be compatable and flexible to face the needs and necessities of that particular region. It should be always ready to lend the ears to catch the beats of the social and economical environment prevailing there. That is why the vocational higher secondary course adopted a locally specific, participatory curriculum based on a need analysis survey. To brief up, it can be emphattically said that, the successful completion of the course will help the learner to find his livelyhood from his own surrounds and will ensure a respectable identity within the society. Moreover, that will contribute, an enthusiastic, selfreliant model citizen who is always at will to care for others and D extend his services to his fellow people, to the society.

Learning Atmosphere
For the effective implementation of the modern learning methods and stratagies, it is of paramount importance to setup the right atmosphere or environment for learning. The environment should satisfy the physical, psychological and social requirements to attain the desired results. A well-furnished class-room, well-equipped laboratory, a good library, a resource room, internet facilities, LCD and OHP projectors, a play ground, an auditorium...etc are some of physical requirements to create the right atmosphere. Psychological factors include the co-operation of the management, principal, teachers, students, parents and the society, a disciplined campus atmosphere and facilities for counselling and guidance. The availability of academicians, industrial experts and other resource persons, active support of the PTA, local bodies and social workers...etc are the social requirements for a good learning atmosphere.

LEARNING STRATEGIES
In the modern era of globalization the introduction of new technologies ensure only the survival of the fittest. So it becomes a necessity to equip the leanness to face the growing challenges in the competitive world. Hence the traditional approach to learning is no more relevant in the present context. The teacher should use instructional techniques that motivate the learner to construct his own knowledge. Now the learners are not passive listeners, but they are the active participants in the construction of knowledge. Here the teacher - learner interaction should be given much importance. In the new instructional strategy while selecting the methods of teaching, the social and psychological aspects of the learner is to be taken into consideration. The given activities for learning are only suggested one. It can be altered according to the discretion of the teacher. To obtain the objectives, the new system of education is introduced in the Vocational Higher Secondary Education for attaining the objectives of the courses in this system, we can adopt the following strategies.
1. Assignment

Assignment is some specific work assigned to the learners as a part of their academic enrichment. There are learning activities undertaken as a continuation of class room activities to realize the curriculum objectives to a broader extent. They should be completed in time bound manner. They help to lead learner to higher level of learning from the present status. Challenging assignment can motivate the learners to involve in group dynamics and achieve fruitful results. The teachers may act as a guide. Assignment may be given on individually or on group basis. Assignment includes preparation of notes, preparation of charts, models, collection, of materials from institutions etc. Assignment develop skills of reference, observation, enquire reporting etc. It ensure the effective utilization of leisure time of the learners.
2. Seminar

Seminar is a learning strategy involving an in-depth analysis of specific topic, preparation of a paper and presentation. The paper is presented by either one learner or a

30

MRRTV

group of learners. After the presentation, there will be a discussion/ interaction in which all the learners can participate. The learners get an opportunity to clear their doubts and make clarification. Seminar helps to develop communication skill and overcome stage fright.
Stages

1.

Selection of Topic The topic of seminar should be relevant to the subject of study

2.

Assignment of topic to individuals learners or team The topic may be assigned to each learner or subtopics may be given to a group of learners

3.

Collection of relevant information Information required for seminar can be collected from various sources namely books, magazines, internet, institutions, place and persons.

4.

Preparation of draft paper Based on the information collected the learner may prepare a draft paper and submit it to the teachers for comments. Revise the draft paper based on the comments of the teachers. The required draft is submitted for approval.

5.

Program Scheduling The date, time and venue of the seminar is fixed. A seminar leader may be selected from the learners

6.

Seminar paper presentation The learner/ learners shall present the paper in the seminar. The teacher may function as the moderator during the initial stages.

7.

Discussion / Interaction A number of respondents from the learners make comments on the topic. This will be followed by a general discussion. All the group members should actively participate in discussion.

8.

Summing up deliberation The moderator sums up the deliberation

9.

Evaluation / Feed back Both teachers and learners evaluate the programme.

10.

Preparation of final report A final seminar report is prepared covering all the additional points discussed and consolidated.

3.

Panel Discussion

31

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

It is a learning strategy in which a panel of experts are allowed to discuss a specific subjects under the control and direction of a moderator. Subjects can be divided according to the number of panel members. Number of panel members are fixed according to subdivision of points in the subject. Relevant materials and hand out may be given in advance to the learners. The monitor or moderator introduces the subject of discussion and invite a panel member to start the discussion. Each panel member is invited for discussion afterwards. After briefing by the panel members the question are raised from the audience and the panel members give suitable answer to them. A report should be submitted by each learner to the moderator.
4. Project

Project is a self-learning strategy which can exert great influence on the overall development of the learner. Project as learning strategy is to be selected where a problem arises in any part of the curriculum. The learners may be divided into groups and assigned different aspects of the problem. Each group works independently .Specific aspects of the problem such as data collection, classification, analysis, report preparation and presentation is to be undertaken by each of the members. Even though the work is divided among the members, it must be ensured that the execution of each and every activity is done with the active participation of all. After analyzing data collected from different sources, the learner arrives at a conclusion, which helps to solve the problem. There by learner learns the topic though his own activity. The other advantage of this learning activities is that it helps the learner to scientifically handle any problematic situation. It helps in the development of scientific thinking and thereby builds up the learners aptitude for the subject.
Stages of the project

1.

Selection of a topic The project selected should be related to the curriculum and it should not be a project for projects sake. The topic or problem should arise from the curriculum.

2.

Planning of the Project

(A) Hypothesizing: Hypothesizing means making assumptions based on the available primary information. (B) Methods and Techniques : The methods and technique should be based on the aim and Hypothesizing of the project. The nature of the project, suitability of the tools, and the methods of learning should be related to each other.
3. Collection and Tabulation of Data

The data may be primary, Secondary or teritiary. Either census or sambling method can be used based on the objective of the project. Suitable questionnaires are to be prepared for the collection of primary data.

32

MRRTV

The collected data is to be classified and tabulated so as to make it easily understandable.


4. Analysis of data and formulation of conclusion

By analyzing the data, the reliability of the hypotheses can be examined. Preparation of graphs and diagrams and maps will positively help the analysis. The similarities relations and differences gathered from the analyzed information would tell whether the hypotheses should be accepted or rejected.
5. Preparation of Report

The cover page should have the title of the project, the period of study, name (s) of investigator / group, and the address of the school. The report should be structured in the following order. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
6.

Title Preface Hypotheses and aim Methodology Sources of data Analysis and conclusion Suggestions (if any) References Appendices (Questionnaire, Observation schedule, check list Etc.)

Presentation of the Project

When the project is presented, the learner is being evaluated and accepted. During presentation ideas are shared with others. The project method promotes scientific self learning and makes him capable of solving the problem arising in real life situations.
5. Debate

Debate is a hot and interesting learning activity. A debate can be organized only on a topic on which there is difference of opinion. Therefore a topic suitable for debate has to be found. Debate can be on relevant topic that is different and interesting to the learners and relevant to society. Learners with different opinion have to be identified for discussion. Those who have similar opinion should join together to form a side. Those who hold the opposite view with form the other side. It would be good to write down the topic of the debate and displayed in advance. There should also a person to control debate. Learners should be given opportunity to absorb the ideas obtained from discussion and debate, develop the idea through reading and study, and to express them through
33

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

writing or other means


Stages of Debate

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
6.

Topic Selection Selection of panels keeping in balance with intelligence, gender etc. Selection of moderator Collection of information guided by the teacher Conducting the debate under the control of moderator by avoiding any sort of personal conflicts Conclusion by the moderator expressing his final version or verdict.

Case Study

A case may be a person, institution or a community case study is an in depth analysis of an actual event or situation. It presents real pictures of situation with facts, objective information or data learners analyse the case to interpret, predict and resolve issues associated with it. The case study provides the learner an opportunity to analyse and apply concepts, data and theory taught from the class. Learners can work individually or in groups. By studying realistic cases in the classroom, learners develop new insights into the solution of specific on - the - job problem and also acquire knowledge of the latest concepts and principles used in problem solving. Case may be presented by the teachers or may be provided in print form. A simple case study may have the following steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. collection of data Conversion of data into information Analysis of the case in groups Presentation of the finding by each group leader. Evaluation

In addition to the above mentioned learning strategies there are many other learning strategies which can be used in appropriate situations to enrich learning process such as Problem solving, Role play, Brain storming, etc
7. Brain Storming

This is the best method for solving creative problems. It facilitates generation of ideas quickly. Rules for conducting Brain storming. 1. 2. No response is wrong - welcome every response. Welcome as many responses as possible

34

MRRTV

3. 4.

No criticism is allowed allow to work on others idea

Steps in Brain storming

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Presentation of the problem Provide relevant information Record the ideas put forth by the participants Combine similar ideas Evaluate each idea and solution Selection of the best solution

If brainstorming is used as an instruction strategy, the last step is not essential


8. Discussion

Discussion is essential for the learner to share new finding, ideas and conclusion at each stage of learning with follow learners and teachers. In general discussion the teachers should guide the discussion though questioning and summarizing. The major steps involved are 1. 2. 3. 4.
9.

Introduction initiated by the teacher Development of discussion by giving lead points and follow up interactions Transaction stage in which the key points are reviewed by the teacher and Summarizing stage in which teacher provides additional support materials to ensure the achievement of the objectives

Group Discussion

Group discussion is an ideal method to develop Co-operation, democratic attitude, friendliness and compromising attitude which are the ultimate aims of education. During group discussion the teacher may observe each group and it needed help them to channellise the discussion towards the common objectives. All learners may be given opportunity to take part and express their ideas within a time limit. The conclusion reached may be entered by each learners. A group representative must present this during consolidation in which the teacher may correct or add information's to ensure that all the relevant ideas have been covered
10. Collection

Collection is a continuous learning activity, which ensure complete participation of learners. The collected item may be materials, pictures, charts, ideas, data etc. Collection provides direct experience to learn. An exhibition of collected materials will help to strengthen the concept.

35

Teachers Sourcebook VHSE

11.

Practical works

Experimentation contains the process skill in an integrated way. In the new approach of curriculum the learner forms idea and comes to conclusion though process. The term 'Practical 'when associated with a science subject usually means an experiment. The objective of doing an experiment is to explore new ideas through investigation only. Its main purpose is to verify some principles associated with theory. The relevance of 'practical' in the traditional science subjects ends here. But this is not the case with 'Vocational Practical' The ultimate goal of a Vocational Education is to generate skill through continuous practice along with investigation and invention. Continuous practice transforms the unskilled to the skilled. This is the significance and importance of practical in the Vocational stream. Hence it is very crucial that Vocational teachers as well as instructor should understand the importance of vocational practical and act accordingly.
10. Quiz

Quiz programmes can be used as an interesting class room tool for transaction of curriculum objectives as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of transaction and achievement of learners. For conducting a quiz programme a topic should be selected based on the above objective The learners are asked to prepare question based on the topic individually. The next day / next hour the learners are grouped into 3-4 groups randomly. A question is raised by a particular team and the other teams to answer them if they can answer the question they get points for that if all other teams fail to answer the question raised by the 1St team the 1st team answer the question and explain the background if necessary. All the teams get equal number of chance to ask the question . Time limit is also prescribed for the conduction of the programme. The team who scores maximum points wins All the participants can make notes on the questions asked answer and their explanation which help them in learning
13. Models

Models are used in learning process. It enhanced the leaning experience. This is based on the 'seeing is believing". It helps the learner a chance to see feel the model presented . Still models and working models help the learners to understand the structure , working principles, actual operation etc.
Several steps are involved

PLANNING

In the context of changing scenario in the field of education the role of teacher as well as the role of learner has changed. The emerging needs of education evolved the role of teacher as a facilitator. The learning process has been learner centered and activity oriented . Learning activities must enable the learner to develop process domain and multiple intelligence skill to its maximum extent. No matter whether these skills are attained inside or out side the classroom, teacher must be in mind that they are to be accomplished in time. In order to achieve this, the teacher must make necessary plans. The plan must be structured as Year plan, covering the entire activities for the whole year Unit plan, which has to be prepared just before each unit. Daily plan to provide activities for a day learning.

DAILY PLAN
Introduction
Daily plan is the systematic organization of the entire learning activities for each period The activities designed should be appropriate to achieve curriculum objectives. It includes curriculum objectives, content specification, CE items and a list of essential learning materials. It can be prepared in two columns. The first column contains the learning activities (process) and the second column for responses. Proper planning of lesson enhances both the learner and teacher to achieve the objectives.

Guidelines for preparing a daily plan based on learning


Curriculum objective should be stated clearly. Include content specification. Learning activities should be appropriate to time, need of the learners, learning atmosphere and also considering the age of the learner. The teacher can club the period judiciously to get continuity in learning process. Individual participation should be ensured in the group activities and group discussion. Learning activities should be challenging, interesting, live and thought provoking. The teacher must motivate the learner by giving tips and clues in every stage of learning process. Proper guidance explanations and relevant examples should be given wherever it is necessary. Evaluation questions may be asked to understand the level of comprehension of the learner. Response part of the daily plan can be completed only after the execution of the classroom activity. Further planning should be based on this response. CE items and its activities should be given in detail. Special information, principles, ideas and concepts also be written separately in a box in the process column. Term evaluation questions may be written at the end of the daily plan.

EVALUATION

Evaluation is a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, synthesizing and interpreting evidences of learners' progress and achievements both in cognitive and noncognitive areas of learning. Evaluation has to play significant role in making the learning process more effective. It provides diverse experiences to the learners, keeping in view the skill to be attained continuously by them. As the curriculum is based on a particular vocation in the selected stream is the most important part and it should be evaluated accordingly. Technical skills, interest and devotion in the field, communication skills, organizational and presentation skills are to be evaluated. Evaluation of the personal and social qualities also should be done. So the evaluation should be continuous and comprehensive.

Terminal or Term End Evaluation (TE)


It is the written form of evaluation aimed at evaluating the facts, concepts and ideas gained by the learner. The test should not be aimed to evaluate the memory alone. Questions are framed in such a way that the learners are able to apply different mental process while answering. The Terminal Evaluation questions give more emphasis on application, analysis and synthesis level. The maximum scores for TE is 80 and the minimum is 24 (30%). The questions should be formulated taking into consideration the time required to read, think, understands and write answers. These aspects should be considered while fixing the scores also. To avoid blind guessing, multiple choice and application level questions may be mixed. The total number of questions may vary from time to time. All the questions should be based on the curricular objectives. Open ended questions but the choice questions also should be based on the same curricular objectives.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)


Our traditional evaluation method measures only the memory and recollection capacity of the learner. To eliminate/ overcome the limitation the evaluation should be done on multi dimensional ways by measuring multiple intellectual capacities of the learner. So it is better to evaluate the learner in a continuous and comprehensive manner. CCE helps the learner to understand and develop adequate his own progress and to develop adequate strategies for further improvement.

Vocational Competency Evaluation (VCE)


Vocational Competency Evaluation is to evaluates the vocational skill and aptitude developed by the learners during the learning process. This is a system to judiciously evaluate the required value addition and consequent capacity building in the concerned vocational curriculum. The vocational education is aimed at developing interest, skills and devotion in specific vocational fields. As other evaluation components like CE. PE and TE cannot assess the vocational competences and professional skills, acquired by the learners an internship evaluation (IE) components has been introduced to meet this requirement. Internship evaluation should be done based on the following components like regularity and punctuality, value addition and capacity building. 1. Regularity and punctuality Regularity and punctuality has vital role in vocational education learning continuous process, the regular presence of the Learner is must for attaining maximum efficency. 2. Value Addition Value addition is the qualitative measure of the learner's interest, devotion perseverance and efficiency. Value addition can be evaluated through conducting field visits/ vocational survey. The experiences gained through field visit / vocational survey increases the level of intrinsic motivation and positive attitude towards the vocational field and thereby increase his value as a semiprofessional. 3. Capacity Building It gives a quantitative measure of the learner's skill in graded area exposure. Capacity building can be evaluated through conducting the following activities. 1. OJT / Simulated experiment 2. Performance - camp/exhibition/clinic 3. Performance - PCT/Service cum Training center. These components help the learner to practice the acquired skills in the real situation and thereby increasing self-confidence and promoting self reliance.

AUDIO EQUIPMENTS
1.1 Introduction
External to the ear, sound is a longitudinal wave motion consisting of a train of compressions and rare factions travelling in a medium. When sound waves strike the eardrum, these are converted into electrical signals. The auditory nerves carry these signals to the brain which interprets them into what we call sound This Chapter deals with equipments connected with sound like audio tape-recorder (Mono and Stereo) A Detailed version is given in this chapter with block diagrams and typical faults with remedies Since the intensity of sound decreases with distance, the need of amplifying the signal arises so that people at a distance from the stage may receive good intensity of sound when a large gathering is to be addressed. A system which fulfils this function is called public Address system or P.A system. This chapter also aims to give clear idea to students about P.A system with its block diagram and trouble shooting procedure. An outlook is also given to the basic ideas of MP3 system, Dolby system and DTS. This chapter also gives a detailed overview of the working and trouble shooting of A.C.D player

TELEVISION TRANSMISSION
3.1 Introduction
Television stands for "seeing at a distance" It became possible when variations in brightness and colour could be converted into electrical variations at the transmitter and the electrical signals reconverted into brightness and colour at the receiver This chapter introduces the basic principles used for converting the variations in light intensity into electrical signal and how it can be transmitted to long distances with the help of a radio frequency carrier. At the receiver end, the video signals can be recovered from the modulated wave by adopting the techniques of super heterodyne detection and amplification. TV transmission and reception is not as easy as audio transmission and reception. The chapter begins with a description of what TV must produce and the standards that must be defined inorder to produce this. A brief idea is then given as to how the picture signal and the sound information is transmitted on the same channel. Vidicon camera tube is also mentioned here. The unit also deals with the elements of monochrome transmission, scanning, synchronization and transmitting antennas.

MONOCHROME TV RECEIVER
4.1 Introduction
A black and white receiver has six main sections - Tuner, IF, Video, Audio, deflection and power supply. The tuner selects the desired channel signal from those picked up by the antenna and converts it into the Intermediate frequencies. The IF section provides large amplification to the weak IF signal and the video detector produce composite video and inter carrier FM sound signals. The video signal is amplified and fed to the picture tube. Similarly the inter carrier sound IF signal is amplified, limited and detected to obtain audio signal. The weak audio signal is given sufficient amplification to obtain the desired audio signal. This chapter is designed to describe functions of various sections of a monochrome receiver without going into circuit details.

COLOUR TV RECEIVER
5.1 Introduction
The quest for more comfort and pleasure is a material instinct driving the mankind. Once the dream of visualizing live scenes was satisfied, the next attempt was to make it more lively and realistic. Colour television with its material appearance was a real milestone in this effort which is still proceeding with a greater momentum. In colour television, an additional signal carrying the colour information - the chrominanace signal is to be accomodated along with the luminance and sound signals. Ofcourse, the transmitting and receiving equipments are to be modified to meet his additional requirement. In a colour TV reciever it is the chroma section which handles the colour signal and converts it into the realistic colours on the screen. In this effort it requires the help of certain auxilliary circuits and a few minor (not always) modifications of the existing ones. This chapter gives an overall idea aobut the major functionaries of a CTV receiver, the PAL-D decoder being taken as the role model (Americans please excuse). Intrusive treatment of all the circuit details are not intended, but mentioned as and when warrenteed. Finally a logical approach to the trouble shooting is presented with a few tips that may serve as a ready reckoner. But remember, trouble shooting is a skillful art that can be nurtured only through hands on work and experience and can never be injected in a single doss to ones mind.

SATELITE TELEVISION
7.1 Introduction
Considering the limitations of ground and sky wave propagation, the space wave propagation arises as an alternative. Despite of large attenuation in this mode, it has an advantage that these waves are not refracted by ionospheric layers. To extend the transmission distance of radio waves in the VHF and UHF micro wave bands, the technique of communication satellites are introduced. The technique involved for transmission via satellite is quite complex, but an attempt has been made in this chapter to convey the essentials of satellite TV Cable TV (CATV) was initially introduced for the benefit of communities in rural areas that were beyond the range of brodcasting, especially for those living in shadow zones. Modern cable system carry a number of modern techniques and this has generated great interest and demand from the public. In this chapter, an over view of different aspects of cable TV is covered. CCTV is one of the most popular visual systems which has a wide application area in modern life. An attempt is made in this chapter to convey the basic idea about CCTV to the students. This chapter also covers the impact of digital technology on TV transmission and reception The Direct to Home satellite TV (DTH) system enables viewers to receive many channels of high quality TV programmes via high powered KU-Band satellites. DTH is similar to Digital satellite system. However since it needs more explanation, a detailed version with block diagram is given in this chapter.

DTH - Direct to Home Television Reception of satellite programme with a personal dish. No need of cable operator and puts the broadcaster directly in touch with consumer. DTH consists of a broadcasting centre, satellite, encoders, multiplexers, modulators and DTH receivers. For transmission, KV band transponders in the satellite are necessary. Encoder converts audio, video and data signals into the digital format and multiplexer mixes these signals. At the receiving end, there will be a small dish antenna ( 45 cm dia) and set-top boxes to decode and view numerous channels. One can use the same connection for multiple connections in the same premise provided every TV set has individual set Top Box DTH transmission is digital and offer stereophonic sound effects. DTH allows internet access, video conferencing and E-mail Cable operator under report the number of customer to broad casters causing huge financial loss to them where as in this case consumers directly pay to the broad caster. Since DTH transmission is digital, more channels can be accommodated in the allowed frequency spectrum.

Crystal clear clarity Reproduces a wide range of colours upto 35 trillion.

OLED - Organic Light Emitting Diode These are solid state semi conductor devices that are 100 to 500 nanometers thick or about 200 times smaller than human chair which emits light with the application of electricity through a process called electro phosphoroscence. Merits - The plastic/organic layers of OLED are thinner, lighter and more flexible than that in an LED or LCD. OLED are brighter than LCDs OLEDs do not require back lighting like LCDs These are easier to produce. Large viewing angles are possible like 1700 .

PLASMA TV Plasma is a flat light weight surface covered with millions of tiny glass bubbles. Each bubble contains gas (neon-xenon mixture) like substance called plasma. When it is time to display an image signal, a digitally controlled circuit current flows through the screen causing the bubbles give off ultra violet rays. This light courses the phosphor coatings to glow the appropriate colour. No need of scanning in TV. Plasma TV has a half life of 30,000 to 60,000 hrs. ie. it will loose approximately 50% of its brightness during that term. The gas in plasma TV does not leak. If a pixel fail, it cannot be repaired physically or by recharging the gas. If large number of pixels go dark, entire panel need to be replaced.

HDTV - High Definition TV Means broadcast of TV signals with a higher resolution than NTSC/PAL/SECAM Is designed as 1080 active line, aspect ratio 16:9 It is capable of theatre quality audio because it uses the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format to support 5.1 surround sound. The pixel aspect ratio of High Definition signals is 1.0 or 1 pixel length = 1 pixel width. HD signal will deliver either an excellent picture or no picture at all. The colours will look more realistic due to their greater bandwidth. Standard TV signals broadcast basic stereo audio signals where as Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is broad cast along with HDTV video signal with HDTV video signal. Minimum vertical resolution - 720 lines.

Projection Television Can provide a much bigger picture than CRT sets can. It creates a much smaller picture and then uses a beam of light the display that picture at a much larger size. 2 types - Front projection and rear projection. Front projection uses a projector and a seperate screen. It projects images to the front of that screen - as in a movie theatre. Rear projection system display images on the back of the screen and the projector is contained with the TV itself - as in the traditional TV.
