2.  Education is the process of facilitating learning, gaining
knowledge and skills, values, habits and confidence i.e. the soul
of the society passes from one generation to another.
 Traditional teaching method is the way of providing direct
instructions and it is considered as the simplest means and
covering large amount of materials in a short period of time.
 In the present scenario of globalization it is necessary to
reinvent the teaching strategy to a student centred teaching
and learning.

3.  “I hear and I forget;
 I see and I believe;
 I do and I understand”.

4.  It is the need of the 21st Century to reinvent everything
for example technology, scientific advances, political,
economic and environmental structures and education.
 The burden of reinvention falls on the shoulders of young
generation especially students, therefore to mould the
student to be more competent with the present and
future situations; they must be equipped with all skills
like
 critical and creative thinking,
 deep understanding and
 innovative capability.

5.  must be an
 awakener
 mentor
 role model
 an idea generator
 performer
 facilitator
 stimulator
 besides determining the interests of learners and
 recognise the expertise of participants and
 finally as a co learner.

6.  For the better understanding of the subject and
conceiving innovative ideas
 the students need
 participation, involvement, joining with other learners,
thinking and analysing ability.
 Opportunities must be provided to the students to
collaborate worldwide and interact with experts.
 When aforesaid facilities are provided with the help of
technological advance students may engage, explore,
extend and have global audience.

8.  Provisions of infrastructure like laptop to
the students make the disadvantaged to
access educational materials such as
text, audio, still pictures, animations,
motion picture and videos. Knowledge
that is contemplated and connected to
concepts including the ability to visualize
the concepts, can lead to transfer
knowledge and deeper understanding of
what is taught. Visualization will help
students to illustrate mental images from
the portion of text that is read, also
visualization skills help them understand
and recall the subjects easily.

9.  Cooperative learning is a
method of instruction that
encourages students to
work in small groups with
learning material, and then
presenting what they have
learned to other small
groups. In doing so, they
take responsibility for their
own learning as well as
their classmates. In this
method of learning students
become motivators and
motivated.

10.  The application of content
appropriate humour aided
students in retaining course
material. Humour reduces
test anxiety, increases
learning speed, improved
student’s problem solving
ability and also helps
students to focus more.

11.  This type of learning takes a
lot of time, energy, and
planning, but it is often very
effective. Students practice
problem solving and critical
thinking skills to arrive at a
conclusion.
 It is a student-centered and
student-directed, and can be
modified for students at any
level, reaching them where
they are. Teachers will
generally need to start by
modeling the process to the
students.

12.  This method include
developing a focused
question, using solid, well
crafted performance
assessments, allowing for
multiple solutions, enlisting
community resources, and
choosing engaging,
meaningful themes for
projects.

13.  The point behind mind mapping is that usage of the full
range of visual and sensory tools. Pictures, music, color,
even touch and smell play a part in learning armory will
help to recollect information for long time. The key is to
build up mind maps that make the most of these things
building on student’s creativity, thinking and cross linking
between ideas that exist in their minds.

14.  In most role-playing exercises, each
student takes the role of a person
affected by an issue and studies an
issue or events from the
perspective of that person. Role
plays should give the students an
opportunity to practice what they
have learned and should interest
the students. Providing concrete
information and clear role
descriptions the students can play
their roles with confidence. Once
the role play is finished, some time
will be spent on debriefing.

15.  This method can gather ideas from large groups,
numbering from the dozens to the hundreds.
Participants are given slips of paper and asked to
write down ideas which are discussed or evaluated.
This method collects a large number of ideas swiftly
and creates a sense of participation or ownership at
the same time.

17.  When the teacher becomes the innovator, willing
to experiment, ready to accept success as well as
failure, a focus on fuzzy outcomes rather than
standardized measures, and the boldness to resist the
standard frame, the final outcome would be a freedom
of creativity that makes teaching exciting and fun,
helping students find the passion and resources
necessary to design a better life for themselves and
others.
