    METHODS OF TEACHING GENERAL SCIENCE


    I think teaching is an art and there are born teachers. But there are majority of
    teachers, who can improve upon by experience of practice and utilization of various methods
    of teaching science. The basic aim of teaching any subject is to bring about desired change
    in behavior. The change in behavior of child will be indicated through children’s capacity to
    learn effectively. This is only possible by adopting various methods of teaching. The teacher
    cannot utilize any method to any type of students in any type of environment. He / She has
    to choose and adopt the right method of teaching keeping in mind the capability of the
    students and the curriculum. Thus, method in a way of presentation of the content in the
    classroom. But, it in however very important to keep in mind that a method is not an end in
    itself but is used to achieve the set aims of teaching. You should also keep in mind that,
    same method should not be used at all times but there should be flexibility in using it as for
    as situations circumstances, and condition in a particular case. You should use various
    methods depending upon demand of the situation. The method which in a particular class
    under a particular circumstance, may be a total failure for other teacher.

    METHODS OF TEACHING SCIENCE

    All the methods of teaching science can be classified into two types:
    - Teacher-Centered
    - Pupil-Centered

    A. Teacher-Centered Method
    This type of teaching methods focus on telling, memorizing, recalling informations.
    The students participation is very limited where in they only ask questions or answers
    questions. Most of the time the students are passive listeners and receive the knowledge.
    The teacher is centre of process that goes on in the classroom.

    B. Pupil-Centered Method
    This process emphasizes on need, requirement, interest and capability of students.
    The students are active participants where in their skills and abilities are developed. The
    climate in the classroom is conducive where in flexibility in there. Teacher and students
    jointly explore the different aspects of problem. The role of the teacher in to create a
    problematic situation, have materials and resources available to the students, and help them
    identify issues, state hypotheses, clarify and test hypotheses and draw conclusions.

    TRY TO DO THIS!
    1. Research more about TEACHER-CENTERED METHOD. What are the
    CHARACTERISTICS and LIMITATIONS of this method?

    Answer: The characteristics of Teacher-Centered Method is you


    talk, and the students exclusively listen, students put all of their
    focus on the teacher, and during activities, students work alone,
    and collaboration is discouraged.
    The Limitations of Teacher-Centered Method is students may get
    bored, their minds may wander and they may miss key
    information. Students work alone, missing potential opportunities
    to share the process of discovery with their peers.

    2. Research more about PUPIL-CENTERED METHOD. What are the


    CHARACTERISTICS and LIMITATIONS of this method?
    Answer: The Characteristics of Pupil-Centered Method is students are
    directly involved and invested in the discovery of their own knowledge.
    Through collaboration and cooperation with others, students engage in
    experiential learning that is authentic, holistic, and challenging.
    The Limitation of Pupil-Centered Method is it requires more skill on the
    part of the teacher as well as their time and resources. It is often difficult
    for teachers to make an acceptable balance among competing needs
    and interests of students.

    3. If you are to choose, what method do you prefer. Elaborate your


    answer.
    Answer: For me I choose Teacher-Centered Method because if the
    Pupil-Centered Method the classroom will be noisy and busy while
    in Teacher-Centered Method the classroom is quiet. And since the
    curriculum is created by the teacher, achieving the intended
    outcomes is made simple. Due to its relation to the children's
    interests, requirements, and level, the subject matter becomes
    psychologically sound. The subject matter and content are
    logically organized.
