Schools chalk out newer ways
for teaching…
Schools are nowadays chalking out
newer ways for teaching and are implementing several changes in their academic
curriculum, to make it more interactive and interesting for the students. Please find some of the steps taken by
St Mary Multipurpose School, Vashi (New Bombay) in this regard.
“The classroom teaching technique
has changed completely. In case of prose, earlier we read them out to students
from textbooks, in order to explain them to students. But now with the teaching
kit, we need to make students participate. So if there is an English prose to
be taught, we will ask students to encircle the complicated words and find
their meanings. These words are then written on the blackboard and whenever the
word appears, students have to answer its meaning,” explained a teacher from
the school.
Similarly in case of the science
lectures, the activity comprises solving questions in group and making the
students present the chapter in their own words. “Within a 30 minute lecture
students are made to think, share and pair. Since their involvement is a must,
they stay more alert. So the lessons taught are better understood,” said Fr
Abraham Joseph, the principal.
