Initiation and brief overview

 The Department of Sociology started in 2003 and has been operating as an Honours Department since 2008. From its inception, the Department has a good academic record with a high pass percentage for all its outgoing batches. The Department has also consistently produced University rankers. At present, the Department has a four-member faculty (2 Assistant Professors, 1 SACT I and 1 SACT II lecturer) with different specializations who teach various papers of the discipline.

Vision and outlook

The Department strives to inculcate a strong sociological sense among students with a specific focus on developing their analytical and writing abilities. At the same time, it focuses on introducing students to empirical field-based research which is central to Sociology as a discipline. The Department further ensures that students are well prepared academically and otherwise to chart their career paths in future while applying the skills they have picked up in the three years at this Department.

Methods of Teaching

The Department believes in a comprehensive approach towards teaching keeping in mind the nature and scope of Sociology as a discipline. Apart from the usual lecture method, the Department uses audio-visual aid, such as power point presentations and films to stimulate the learning process and to ensure that students develop a keen and critical sociological sense. The Department also encourages a field-based approach towards Sociology and regularly organizes educational and field trips to expose students to sociological processes and changes in society around them. Projects both individual and group-based also form an integral part of the evaluative scheme for students. Regular assessments through class-tests and written assignments ensure that students are well prepared for their final end-semester examinations.

Our destination was Milan Mela Ground at Karunamoyee, Salt Lake. Students took some pictures from outer facades of the Mela. Then we went inside the book fair, which was decked up very well. Due to the international book fair, there were lots of foreign book stalls. Every year, the Kolkata Book Fair has a focal theme, on which the event is based. For this year the theme is Spain, where we tried to capture the culture & art scene of Spain. Then we had a break and enjoyed our lunch in a small stall. After that we reached to the middle of the mela ground, where the students strolled around, clicked some panoramic shots of the Kolkata Book Fair. It was an excellent, informative and eventful day for all of us.

As part of the curriculum, one-day educational trip was organized by the department of Sociology. This trip was meant to brighten the young minds and stimulate their way of thinking. Our first destination was St. Paul’s Cathedral; Photography was barred inside the premises, so the students took some shots of the outer facades. Then we moved on to the Nandan; it was decked up very well due to the international film festival, where we tried to capture the cinematic & aesthetic art scenes. Then we had a break and enjoyed our delicious lunch in an Indo-Chinese restaurant. After that we reached our final & last destination Maidan, where students strolled around and clicked some panoramic shots of the Victoria Memorial. It was an excellent, informative, eventful day for all of us.

Through this trip student could understand the scenario of the city-culture, which is in their syllabus; i.e., “Culture and leisure” (semester-VI). Its helps to build the overall understanding of the urban cultures. Students took full advantage of getting themselves exposed to new ideas, customs, and the social pattern of urban ambience. It enhances the students’ ability to accommodate with different cultures for sustenance.  The tour helped us to appreciate the importance of preserving our history, culture, and environment. Overall, it was an enriching experience for all of us.

 

Name: ‘Smile as a Gesture’

Category: Extension lecture

Organising unit: Department of Sociology, RKSMVV

Date: 02.03.23

Time: 1 p.m- 2 p.m

Number of Students: 18

Number of Resource Persons: 01

Name of Resource Person: Debadyuti Karmakar, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis Mahavidyalay

Number of beneficiaries: 18 students are the beneficiaries.

Brief description of the event: The resource gave an insightful lecture on smiling as a gesture and showed a PowerPoint presentation and some videos and pictures related to his talk. He talked about how in sociology, a smile is a non-verbal or non-vocal gesture that carries significant social and emotional meaning. He shed light on how smiles are an essential part of social interaction and are often used to convey friendliness, warmth, and approachability. Smile can also mask or hide negative emotions in certain social situations. Smiles can signal various social intentions. For example, a genuine smile may indicate goodwill, while a forced or insincere smile might signal politeness or discomfort. This way he mentioned the various ways in different social situations.

Outcome: Students came to know the variations of smile and laughter and how smiles as a form of informal way of social interaction works in our everyday life, the relevance of the use of emoticons without saying any word and how the concept of happy face measured through smile over the periods. It was a very innovative, new topic of discussion. The session was insightful. Overall, the students learned how to see even a small thing as a smile from a sociological perspective and how they serve in conveying emotions, intentions, and social norms, influencing how individuals interact with each other and navigate various social situations.

Advanced and Slow Learners Policy

The Department of Sociology follows its policy of slow and advanced learners so as to cater to students who may learn at a different pace or have advanced learning needs. These policies aim to ensure that all students receive an appropriate and effective education tailored to their individual abilities and needs.

Advanced learners

Advanced learners are the students who understand a taught topic relatively faster than the other students in the class and achieve high scores. They have more potential and talent than the others in the class. They have more potential with their answer writing skills, retention, memory, critical thinking ability, creativity and contextualization practices. They also show hard-working behaviours and have the drive to do their best in their studies.

Slow learners

Slow learners on the other hand mostly find it difficult to understand the subject. They may fail in exams or will score only poor grades. However, the poor performance may not be a sign of poor capacity or talent but may be due to inappropriate teaching methods, socio-economic background, lack of motivation and support, unorganized learning practices or even the inability to converse in the language taught in class.

Slow learners

The slow learners in the classroom are identified on the basis of the following grounds:

During these classes, teachers engage in problem-solving exercises, provide additional study materials and notes, etc. to the students, and try to further clear their concepts and direct their focus to these few students who are lagging behind and try to bridge the knowledge gap.
  2. Provide simplified but standard lecture notes/course material and also provide handwritten notes for easy understanding
  3. Giving additional learning materials like question banks, university question papers etc
  4. Corrective classes and revision of topics more thoroughly for the slow learner students during tutorial classes based on the result of class test

  2. Guidance to crack competitive examinations and orient them for better career planning and growth.
  3. Organizing micro-teaching sessions by the advanced learners to the slow learners to make the learning process more participatory and interesting for both groups
