Interesting tips for Teaching and Learning :-


1)  Homework Hack.

Copying homework will neither help you nor your teacher. It is better for the student to say ' I didn't do it' cause copying is just wasting the pages. For teachers, they should never force the students to do homework. Rather if they will tell  students, the use of the homework and how it will help them and improve them, more number of students will do it and there would be less use of force and the work will be done willingly.  
( P.S. Teachers... do take care that the right amount of homework with the right amount of time is given and of course it should be of the level of students and help in improving their learning)

2) Social studies bores. 

No, it would not if the teacher prepares the chapter well. Social Studies is not a subject to be taught from books. S.St is more about discussions, explanation and ending chapter by coming to a conclusion and a learning. Relate the topic with the recent events and news. So that the students will get to know the worth of the chapter and why they need to learn it.
  • Relate Geography to the environment conditions prevailing in the world. Relate it with the climate, weather, disasters, degradation, recent meetings held for improving environment conditions. Show structures of various things through videos.
  • Civics is so much interesting if you relate it to the political structure of the country. This would make students aware of various things and help in achieving the objective of Social Studies i.e. make them a better citizen.Tell students about Naxalism, ask them about the Vidhaan Sabha of their area, they thus would be more interested in knowing everything.
  • Economy - Make your student little money minded, tell them how all this money comes and goes. Give them great examples.It will become interesting.
I can't still workout with Historty - I am sorry... :(

P.S.- These practices will need a lot of work to be done by the teacher but simultaneously these will increase your value among students.     

3) Tests should be effective.  

This I learnt in B.Ed. The test teachers make should not check student's cramming power or memory. It should check their Knowledge, Understanding and Application Skills. The student should know the facts and figure, that will check their knowledge.Except language, other subjects should not evaluate on the basis of language but on how much the student has understood the concept, concept clearance is more important than the way of expressing the answer. Now the last thing is, does the student know how to apply the knowledge and Understanding? For this, situation based questions should be there.

4) Better teaching environment 

         These will make the teaching environment better :-
  • Though, there should not exist any politics in school ( among teachers especially) but if there is any, it should not come out in front of the students. This lessens the Dil se vaali respect for the teacher.
  • Good work of the teacher as well as students should be appreciated by teachers and students.Teachers should appreciate the good work of other teachers and teachers should appreciate the good work of students as well.This will improve the bond.
  • Not always but once in a year,there should be a direct check on the teacher's work and behaviour by the higher authority. This will improve the quality of education.
  • More than qualification, quality of the teacher matters.
First follow these and check their effectiveness. Later I will come up with other points.
