INNOVATIVE WORK PROCEDURE

SUMMARY OF SELF REFLECTION (3rd SEMESTER)

                 ''   40  ദിവസത്തെ ടീച്ചിങ് പ്രാക്ടീസ് എനിക്ക് പുതിയ ഒരു

അനുഭവമായിരുന്നു.ഇതിലൂടെ കുട്ടികളെ കൂടുതൽ അടുത്തറിയാൻ

സാധിച്ചു . ആദ്യ ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ ക്ലാസ് എടുക്കുവാൻ നല്ല ഭയം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.

എന്നാൽ പിന്നീട ക്ലാസുകൾ എല്ലാം നല്ല രീതിയിൽ തന്നെ എടുക്കുവാൻ

കഴിയുകയും ആത്മ വിശ്വാസം വർധിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു . അവിടെ ധാരാളം

പരിപാടികൾ ഈ കാലയളവിൽ നടന്നിരുന്നു . ഇതിലെല്ലാം കുട്ടികളെ

തയ്യാർ ആക്കുന്നതിലൂടെ അവരുമായി  നല്ല ഒരു ബന്ധം നേടി എടുക്കാൻ

കഴിഞ്ഞു . എന്റെ പോരായ്മകൾ എന്തെല്ലാം ആണെന്ന് കണ്ടെത്തുന്നതിനും

അവ പരിഹരിക്കുന്നതിനും ഈ ടീച്ചിങ് പ്രാക്ടീസ് വളരെ അധികം

സഹായിചു . കൂടാതെ പുതിയ മാറ്റങ്ങൾ ക്ലാസിൽ അവലംബിക്കാനും

കഴിഞ്ഞു .അധ്യാപകരും കുട്ടികളുമായും സ്കൂളുമായും നല്ല ബന്ധം

നേടിയതിലൂടെ അധ്യാപനം എന്ന മേഖലയെ കൂടുതൽ ഇഷ്ടപ്പെടാൻ

കഴിഞ്ഞു .''

        Elements

                                     The elements are sometimes called the building blocks of the Universe because everything in the Universe-including ourselves – is made of them.The nucleus of each element consists of atoms with the same number of protons.Each element is unique,although elements can exist in different forms-for example,carbon may be soft but its another form diamond is the hardest among all substances.

                                   There are about 118 elements altogether,and 91 occur naturally on Earth.Others can be created artificially in laboratories,but in minute quantities and they have very short lifespans.

The heaviest &lightest elements

      Heaviest  elements

Osmium

Osmium is the heaviest element of all. It was discovered by the British chemist Smithson Tennant in 1803. He named it after the Greek word for smell because it smelt bad.  Osmium is twice as heavy as lead-so heavy that a cubic foot weighs 640 kg, as much as ten average people. It is used to make hard wearing points such as the nibs of fountain pens.

Platinum

 Platinum was used before any one realized that it was an element . It weighs almost as much as Osmium and is used to make jewellery that is even more expensive than gold.  It is also used in Catalytic converters in cars to reduce the pollution from exhaust gases.

Plutonium

Plutonium was discovered in 1941 and is heavy and highly radio active metal.  It is used as a nuclear fuel and nuclear weapons.

Gold

 Gold is the best known of all heavy metals – though at 19.29 g per cubic centimeter it is less heavy than the others here.

            lightest elements

Hydrogen

 Hydrogen is the simplest and lightest element,and the most common in the entire Universe-93 percent of all atoms in the Universe are hydrogen atoms. The air in a 

room with walls 4 m long and 4 m high would weigh 82.5 km but if the same room  were filled with hydrogen it would weigh only 5.76 kg. This is why it was used in balloons carrying human passengers.

Helium

 Helium is twice as heavy as hydrogen, but it is still only 1/7^th the weight of air.  Unlike hydrogen, helium does not burn, so it is used in modern airships.

Lithium

Lithium was discovered in 1817 by Swedish scientist Johan August Arfvedson.  It takes its name from the Latin word for rock, although it is actually a metal.  It is so light and so soft that it can be easily cut with a knife. It floats because it is half as heavy as water and lighter than some types of wood. It is used to make lithium batteries.

Potassium and Sodium

 Both were discovered in 1807 by Sir Humphry Davy. Both are metals that are lighter than water.  In Laboratory potassium is usually kept in paraffin because it comes into contact with water it releases hydrogen and generates so much heat that it catches fire. When sodium is dropped into water it hurtles around on the surface before noisley bursting into flames.  So it is also kept in Paraffin. 

SEMINAR 2

     science teacher as a     technopedagogue

                         The term ‘PEDAGOGUE’ is derived from two Greek words pais,paidos meaning boy and agogos meaning guide,which together connets a ‘teacher’.pedagogic implies the science of teaching.By pedagogic analysis we mean a logical and systematic breakup of the curriculum from the point of view of a pedegogue for the purpose of its effective transaction.

                            Technopedagogy refers to the techniques of the craft of teaching into the learning environment itself.It requires conscious recognition of the mediated learning environment in order to maximize the ease and clarity in the transmission of information.

                           Technology is a broad and constantly changing skill-set required of faculty and selecting the appropriate technopedagogical strategies to effectively engage students in the content is a separate skill-set.Media literacy influence student’s development and developing a critical analysis of media consumption is an important skill for students.The dynamics of classroom change when e-learning is a part of regular learning environment.The technological pedagogial content knowledge is a collaboratively developed framework of scholars and researchers seeking to conceptualize and clarity the competencies that evolve from the intersection between pedagogy and technology.

                             Pedagogical content knowledge was first described by Leeshulman[1986]and TPACK builds on core ideas through the inclusion of technology.Technological content knowledge refers to the knowledge about how technology may be used to provide new ways of teaching content.

                              TPACK is an emergent form of knowledge that goes beyond all ‘core’ components [content,pedagogy and technology]. Technological pedagogical content knowledge is an understanding that emerges from interactions among content, pedagogy and technology related knowledge.It is the basis of effective teaching with technology.

                           Technology in the classroom is becoming more and more predominant.According to various studies , students prefer technology because they believe that makes learning more interesting and fun.Subjects that are challenging or boring can become more interesting with virtual lessons ,through a video or when using a tablet.Using technology in the classroom would help to prepare them for the digital future.Thus surely technology implies or occupies an important place.
