Interpersonal Relationship of Counselling : for College Teachers



On Saturday, the 25th July 2009, our club in association with N.M.S.Sermathai Vasan College for Women conducted a project on “Interpersonal Relationship of Counselling” for the teaching staff of the Said College. Mr.N.Sivasubramanian, President of the College and Mrs.Dr.S. Kowsalya Principal helped a lot to make it a great success.

As the first person to handle the sessions, Mr.R.Shantharam, M.B.A. emphasized the importance of cordial interpersonal relationship between the staff and the students. The main points he stressed upon were, as a teacher one should have continuous efforts to improve himself and make the students better learners and better persons. Of course only a burning candle will be able to light another.

Rtn.Aruna Visweswar, our member and principal of Adhyapana School, commenced her session with a novel exercise for the participants which was well appreciated. She stressed that a better interpersonal relationship among the staff members effective communication is very essential . Proper knowledge and better understanding between the staff is needed to tell them about what is to be done at present and in future. She said that better to think twice before one speaks to another and does an act. Mrs.Aruna Visweswar being a lady and the staff of the college being ladies was able to feel the pulse of the participants
in a better way and was very much above the expectations and everyone without an exception appreciated her very much. Kudos to our member Mrs.Aruna Visweswar.

Our member, Rtn.PP.Natanagopal was very prompt in his arrival even
though his train trip from Chennai was very much delayed by more than 4 hours.
He advocated that one should be self confident, courageous enough and believe in himself and his abilities to achieve his goals. Imitation and efforts are the essential ingredients to achieve. It is always better to act than to react and to accept our faults and to ignore the ill treatments by being patient, were his advice to the audience.

Mrs Usha Rani Mohan - Lecturer in psychology in her session had involved all the students by her number games. Her session was quite lively and entertaining. She quoted certain points related to psychological approach towards students. She captured our attention just by quoting and conducting memory tests and techniques to uplift the memory power of the students. First one, memory power related creative story technique. Second one, memory powerrelated to associative technique.
She analyzed the interpersonal relationships through certain measurements known as Socio Metrics. Her deep interest in analyzing the concepts of psychology. She showed some demonstrations with the selection of certain candidates as participants. Altogether she touched the essence of psychology in the field of teaching.
