Day-1 [10.05.2017]
The DAV CAE, in order to carry forward its concept of honing and fine tuning
the teaching skills of its existing teachers organized a two day Capacity
Building Programme for the teachers of science at the secondary level. The
Capacity Building Programme under the aegis of Regional Training Centre,
Odisha Zone-II was conducted at DAV Public School, MCL, Kalinga Area on 10th
and 11th
of May 2017. The programme started at 9.30 am. Mr. K C Khuntia,
General Manager, MCL, Kalinga Area graced the occasion as the chief guest
and lighted the holy
lamp to mark the
beginning of the
programme.
Mr. S K Bhoi, Principal
of the host school, in his
welcome address
extended a warm
welcome to the Chief
Guest , the master
trainers and all the teacher participants from different schools to attend the
afore mentioned programme. In his deliberation Mr. Bhoi inspired the ignited
minds to keep themselves ready in order to shoulder new responsibilities
bestowed upon them in the back drop of changing circumstances and
expectations of the stake holders. He further approached the trainees and the
MTs as well to instill in the children the much needed scientific bent of mind so
that they must feel benefitted. Further Mr Bhoi threw some light on the
possible approach of the students keeping new exam pattern in mind.
The Chief Guest of the
occasion Mr K C
Khuntia, GM, Hingula
Area, at the outset
expressed his
happiness that such
programmes are being
organized by the RTC
to upgrade the
teachers’ skills. He said nation building depends on the attitude, behaviour and
hardwork of the teachers. He further desired that the teachers must keep
themselves abreast with the latest technology in the teaching learning
transactions
knowing it well that
now a days there
are many
distractions for the
young children, yet
teachers must
groom the children
for the future
world.
During the ice breaking session Master Trainer Mr R K Bedbak emphasized on
the need to enable the students enjoy every minute details of nature and
concern for preserving and beautifying nature with their newly acquired
scientific knowledge. While discussing the aims and objectives of the
workshop, MT Mr R K Padhi deliberated on the ways to enhance the teaching
capability by introducing learning by doing and by engaging them in different
scientific activities. He further very elaborately discussed the steps for
preparing lesson plans.
In the following session prepared lesson plan were demonstrated by the
teacher participants. The MTs and the resource persons very minutely
observed the presentations and kept adding their valuable suggestions on the
spot to bring about the target changes in the plans and approaches. This
session was not only engaging but also thought provoking. It is the culmination
of the participants’ imagination, strategy and plan regarding their activity in
the classes concerned. It was certainly nice to see the active participation of
the participants as well as the MTs & the RPs.
In the next session Mrs. Itishree Samal, PGT, Chemistry of the host school gave
a nice feedback on the lesson plans and unit plans. She said science teachers
should work together to make science enjoyable and effective. Knowledge
sharing is important, she said.
In the post lunch session; “Minimum Learning Objective” MT, Mr R K Padhi
presented a vibrant
PPT on the low
achievers. He
emphasized that the
low achievers have a
hard time in getting
motivated.
Inappropriate school
behaviour also
sometimes works as a
hindrance in making the path of learning a smooth one for the afore
mentioned type. In a very elaborate manner Mr Padhi suggested that teachers
should adopt flexibility in their approach to make a difference. Things should
be explained to these children in simple language to help them and that their
understanding can be checked through MCQs, Match making, gap filling etc. All
the participants were asked to prepare minimum learning materials on the
spot group wise followed by a video clip on ability grouping and its pros and
cons. Then the teacher participants were given ideas about the much awaited
e- lesson plan. MT, Mr Padhi urged the trainees to prepare e- lesson plans and
rubrics school wise. In the next module he discussed how to develop
assessment rubrics for activities followed by a group activity.
Later MT Mr Bedbak started e-lesson plan and discussed its purpose. He said
the e-lesson plan is exclusively for the children which can be shown to the
children directly. In order to reduce the burden of activity, e-lesson plans can
help a teacher to teach anything in a bookless manner. He also taught
extensively the various ways by which a lesson plan can be converted in to e-
lesson plan.
The day ended with a lot of activity at 6 pm and the next two hours [6-8 pm]
the participants spent in the school computer lab preparing the e-lesson plans.
Day-2 [11.05.2017]
The programme for the
second day started at 9
am with the
presentation of e-
lesson plan by the
participants. The MTs
Mr R.K.Padhi &
R.K.Bedbak observed
the endeavour and
innovation put in the
plans by the participant
and enriched them
with their valuable suggestions.In the next session Mr S K Bhoi, Principal of the
host school tried to lift the morale of the participants and made them mentally
prepared to shoulder the greater responsibility of nation building as was fore
seen by S Radhakrishnan. He urged the teachers that back home they would
come out of their comfort zones to shape the future of the nation and mankind
by imbibing positive and desirable values in the students.
The next session “Principles of Genetics- Made Easy” was dealt with by
Resource Person Mr U N Sahoo, PGT, Biology, DAV Kalinga Area. During his one
hour session he tried to elicit some interesting and practical methods and
activities to clear the concepts and confusions that the students are likely to
have , with the help of the constructive ideas he extracted from the teacher
participants. The session included a lot of interaction, it is hoped, would end
up bringing more and more clarity to the students.
In the next session Resource Person Mrs Sujata Mishra, of DAV JA, Dera
discussed in detail
how to develop
scientific thinking in
students taking
science as an enquiry
to develop ethical
attitude. She also
discussed the
essentials of critical
thinking. The chapter
under discussion was
Scattering of Light. It was a really highly informative session supported with
audio visual aids.
In the pre lunch session Mr Itishree Samal, PGT, Chemistry, DAV Kalinga Area,
conducted 4 demonstration activities based on micelle formation, diffusion of
liquids, exothermic
reaction and
decomposition reaction
in a quite effective way.
The engaging activities
were well appreciated
by one and all.
The programme was
followed by innovative
concepts and activities
by Mr R K Bedbak, MT, on the concept that air occupies space and exerts
pressure. He conducted an interesting activity to show the difference between
true solution and colloidal solution, to show the formation of gas during a
chemical reaction, to show that carbon dioxide is heavier than air, and a
special activity to show reflection by using laser light.
The post lunch session was taken
care of by the ever innovative MT,
Mr R K Padhi who demonstrated
and engaged everyone in different
mesmerizing activities based on
various concepts of Physics and
clarified the principles and
concepts behind each. This act was
highly appreciated by all. He
invited the participants to
demonstrate the concept by using low cost or no cost materials. The other half
of the session was taken by Mrs.
Rashmi Mohapatra who through
beautiful PPT presentation quite
extensively discussed Organisation
and Functions of Living Systems.
As a finishing touch to the two day
programme MT, Mr R K Bedbak,
presented the criteria through PPT
for preparing the MCQs. He said it
should be comprehension and critical thinking not just a recall activity. He then
urged the teacher trainees to prepare at least 5 MCQs by considering one
chapter and one content. The participants prepared the questions keeping in
mind the expectations of the Master Trainer and readily submitted the same.
Later the MTs analysed the questions and added their deliberations and
valuable suggestions to bring the designed impact and achieve the desired
goal.
Mr Purusotam Behera DAV Tensa in his feedback said he has been highly
motivated by the innovative methods adopted by the MTs to explain the
things. Mrs. Nilima Mohanty, of DAV Burla appreciated the e-lesson plan and
the hands on activities. She expressed her heartfelt thanks to the host Principal
for his nice and systematic arrangements to make the workshop and its
experiences memorable. Mr Bhabani Ranjan Mohanty, of DAV Kansbahal in his
feedback upheld the introduction of the e-lesson plan and the minimum
learning activity and the rubrics for the MCQ preparation. He sincerely
appreciated the cooperation of the staff members under the dynamic
leadership of Mr S K Bhoi, Principal of the host school.
In his feedback, MT Mr R K Bedbak said good thinking creates connectivity
among teachers that guides them in the right direction. He said scientific
approach of the teachers can create great scientists in future. He urged the
participants not to forget the skills they learn in the workshops. He proposed
to run a whatsapp group of all the participants that will help maintain
connectivity. He thanked the host Principal and staff for the unforgettable
hospitality. RP, Mrs Sujata Mishra in her feedback said as teachers we must
ensure that the best things are provided to children. She appreciated the
elaborate discussions done on lesson plan. She appealed the teachers to teach
the students to love learning because their nice management of the classes
will cause wonders.
In his valedictory address Mr S K Bhoi, esteemed Principal of the host school,
thanked all the participants for their active participation. He wished that the
skills they had learned must
be utilized for better and
more effective teaching
learning. He expressed his
heartfelt gratitude to Mr L
N Pradhan, Hon’le Regional
Director, Odisha Zone-II for
choosing DAV Kalinga as
venue for the workshop. He
also highlighted the various
activities conducted by RTC, Odisha Zone-II.
The programme ended with Shantipath. The programme was coordinated by
Mrs Itishree Samal, PGT, Chemistry, of the host school.
