3. school :
● School is an educational institution where students receive formal
instruction and learning.
● It provides a structured environment for children and young adults
to acquire knowledge, skills, and academic qualifications.
● Schools typically follow a curriculum that includes various subjects
such as mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, and
physical education.
● Teachers play a crucial role in schools; guiding and facilitating
learning through lectures, discussions, assignments, and
assessments.
● Institute often have specific grade levels or levels of education,
such as elementary school, middle school, and high school.

4. Mapping:
● Mapping is the process of representing or visualizing data or
information in a graphical or spatial format.
● Maps can depict various elements such as landforms,
boundaries, locations, routes, or patterns.
● Mapping can be done manually or using computer software
and technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems
(GIS).
● Mapping is used in various fields like geography, cartography, urban
planning, environmental studies, and data visualization.
● Mapping can involve different types of maps, including topographic
maps, thematic maps, interactive online maps, or 3D maps.

5. School Mapping:
❖ Words and concepts are recent.
❖ UNESCO is leading the way in popularizing this concept in
developing countries.
❖ Other donor countries, including the World Bank, attach
special importance to "access, equity and quality" in
providing loans and aid to the education sector.
❖ The importance of school mapping activities as a tool for the
implementation of educational policies in less developed
countries is increasing.

6. ➢ School Mapping Concept from UNESCO
As a dynamic process of identifying
logically and systematically the
communities and sites where
educational facilities procided in
the plan are to be located-

8. Education:
1. John Dewey: He viewed education as a means of fostering the
development of individuals' intellectual, social, and moral capacities,
enabling them to contribute to society.
1. Paulo Freire: He viewed education as a tool for empowering marginalized
individuals and communities, enabling them to challenge oppressive
systems and work towards liberation.

9. Educational mapping
● Educational mapping involves the application of mapping
techniques and tools in the context of education and It includes
the visualization and organization of educational data,
resources, and information in a spatial format.
● It can be used to map out curriculum frameworks, learning
standards, and educational objectives.
● Educational mapping aids in identifying gaps, overlaps, or areas
of improvement within the curriculum or instructional design.
● Educational mapping can be utilized to analyze student
performance, demographic data, and educational outcomes.

10. Plant:
● A plant is a living organism belonging to the kingdom
Plantae.
● Plants are multicellular and primarily photosynthetic,
utilizing sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water
into carbohydrates and oxygen.
● They have specialized structures, such as roots,
stems, leaves, and reproductive organs like flowers,
fruits, and seeds.

11. Planning:
● Planning is the process of setting goals, determining actions,
and allocating resources to achieve desired outcomes.
● Planning helps in organizing and prioritizing tasks, ensuring
efficient use of time, effort, and resources.
● Planning can be short-term or long-term, depending on the
scope and time frame of the goals.
● It can be done at different levels, including personal planning,
organizational planning, strategic planning, or project
planning.
● Effective planning requires clear communication,
collaboration, and involvement of relevant stakeholders.

12. Plant Planning:
● The definition of school plant planning used in the United States is based on
many schools. McConnell (1957) defined plant planning as selecting a site for
setting up a school, surveying the population of the local area, designing the
school building, selecting the design of the furniture, and planning the
construction of physical facilities with the help of experts.
● He also said that “Planning and Building a school to day is a very complex
undertaking and the responsibilities of planning for building a school plan fall on
many people with specialised undertakings and skills”

13. School mapping and plant planning in educational Institution:
★ In the light of the above definitions, it can be said
that school mapping and planning have similar
concepts but also differences. Mapping is the study
of educational facilities across the country or in a
specific area. On the other hand, land planning is
the planning of planning materials for a specific
school plan.

20. Micro Planning :
Micro planning, on the other hand, involves more detailed and
short-term planning at the individual classroom or instructional
level. It focuses on the day-to-day activities and instructional
practices to ensure effective teaching and learning. Micro
planning includes lesson planning, setting learning objectives,
selecting appropriate teaching methods, designing assessments,
and managing classroom resources. It takes into consideration
the specific needs and characteristics of students, the curriculum
content, and the instructional resources available. Micro planning
aims to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences
that cater to the diverse learning needs of students.

21. Macro Planning:
Macro planning involves the broad and long-term
planning at the systemic or organizational level in
education. It focuses on overarching goals, policies,
and strategies that guide the development and
implementation of educational programs and
initiatives. Macro planning takes into account factors
such as curriculum design, infrastructure
development, resource allocation, teacher training,
and assessment frameworks. It aims to provide a
coherent and effective educational system that aligns
with national or institutional objectives.
