observational, manipulative, decision-making, investigatory etc in the learners
and to train KRPs in designing/conducting biology projects in the light of
NCF-2005. How an investigatory project may be prepared and how it is beneficial
to increase awareness to the learner was discussed. ICT resources and its
pedagogical applications in teaching were also deliberated. KRPs were also given
an opportunity to present investigatory project, which they had prepared during
five days training program.
Content-cum-Pedagogy Enrichment Programme in Physics for KRPs at
the Senior Secondary Level
The programme was held from 17 to 21 January 2011 for the KRPs of Haryana
and Rajasthan. The objectives of the programme were; to carry out content
analysis of Classes XI and XII books of Physics and identify difficult/new concepts;
to develop write-up/resource material on identified concepts/topics of physics;
to train KRPs in content-cum-pedagogy enrichment and designing of physics
projects in the light of NCF-2005. Deliberations were made with the participants
to create awareness regarding environmental education. Visit of environmental
education theme park of the institute was also organised. Laboratory sessions
were also conducted to realise the importance of practical work at the senior
secondary level. Salient features of NCF-2005 and science curriculum have been
highlighted. A discussion on pedagogy, project designing and ICT integration in
teaching of physics was held during the five-day training programme. Discussion
was also held about misconceptions and processes of physics. Each participant
was given an opportunity to develop at least two physics projects/activities for
better understanding and strengthening of concepts. Each participant was given
an exposure to give one presentation on topics like Newton’s law of cooling, brain
storming method, computer based training, discussion method, project method,
performance aids/job aids, demonstration method, discovery method, group
exercises and case study.
Orientation of KRPs on Teaching of Environmental Studies at the Primary
Level
The motivation for responsible action and commitment to protect and conserve
environment comes from the teachers who teach the subject in the school. Hence,
