A new study, published in the journal CBE – Life Sciences Education, tested the effect of replacing the traditional mid-terms with weekly formative assessments. Researchers report, this strategy helped students learn from their mistakes and improve their final grades.
Highlights from the two-day symposium on higher education-related issues organised by Department of Physics, Bangalore University on 27-28 May 2016.
Starting with a probable questions in relation to the prescribed practical, followed by hypothesis-building, can lead to a good experiment design where students participate and discuss their own ideas and approaches. The process can be very enriching for students to understand various scientific concepts as well as specific, subject-related techniques that they can try.
Here, I wish to share some such manageable approaches, tried and tested in my classes, that also taught me substantially as a teacher.
