Questions to
think!
oWhy students go to schools?
oWhy teachers are there in schools?
Teaching is a challenge?
oThe biggest challenge for any teacher is capturing each student’s
attention and conveying ideas effectively enough to create a
lasting impression.
oAs a teacher, to tackle this challenge effectively, you should
implement innovative ideas that make the classroom experience
much more lovable for your students
A Big Challenge
for Teachers!
A teacher who is attempting to teach
without inspiring the pupil with a
desire to learn is hammering cold iron.

Inquiry Based Learning
Inquiry Based Learning
It is a form of active learning that starts
by posing questions, problems or
scenarios.
Inquiry Based Method
It is an approach to learning in which “students are
encouraged to explore the material, ask questions,
and share ideas”.
The 4 Types of Inquiry-Based Learning
1. Confirmation Inquiry -- Teacher gives students a question, its answer and the
method of reaching this answer. Their goal is to build investigation and critical-
thinking skills, learning how the specific method works. (3+?=5)
2. Structured Inquiry -- Teacher gives students an open question and an investigation
method. They must use the method to craft an evidence-backed conclusion. (Why
will a small piece of wood sink, but a huge boat will float? Is it magic or is it density?)
The 4 Types of Inquiry-Based Learning
3. Guided Inquiry -- Teacher gives students an open question. Typically in groups,
they design investigation methods to reach a conclusion. (Balloon popping)
4. Open Inquiry -- Teacher gives students time and support. They pose original
questions that they investigate through their own methods, and eventually
present their results to discuss and expand. (Flight Fair- Aeroplane )
Group Activity
The 4 Cs
1. Curious: This is about the concepts embedded in the content that learners can
think about and discuss to drive their curiosity forward.
2. Connect: Bringing the content to learners by making relevant connections to
different concepts inspires real learning.
3. Communicate: Here, we state what message and essential learnings we want
our students to gain.
4. Create: This is what learners will present to demonstrate their understanding of,
and appreciation for, what they’ve learned.
Inquiry Based Learning

Project Based Method
Project Based Method
•Project Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method
in which students learn by actively engaging in real-
world and personally meaningful projects.
Why Project Based Learning
• In Project Based Learning, teachers
make learning come alive for
students
•Video on Project Based
learning
•Video
1) Students work on a project over an extended period of time – from a
week up to a semester – that engages them in solving a real-world
problem or answering a complex question.
2) They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public
product or presentation for a real audience.
3) As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as
critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.
4) Project Based Learning unleashes a contagious, creative energy among
students and teachers.

Analogy Method
Analogy Method
•An analogy is a method that uses an analog (that is,
an ideal or material object that adequately reflects
the process or object being studied)
•An analogy is used when you compare two
completely different ideas or things and use its
similarities to give an explanation of things that are
hard to understand or are too sensitive
An example of Analogy
• A common science teaching analogy is to compare electricity in
a circuit to water flowing in the pipes in a house.
• A typical analogy has two parts, the source (familiar to students)
and the target (less familiar)
An example: More Like Analogy
•Video
Story Telling Method
Story Telling Method
• Storytelling can be used as a method to teach ethics, values and cultural
norms and differences.
• Learning is most effective when it takes place in social environments that
provide authentic social cues about how knowledge is to be applied.
• Stories function as a tool to pass on knowledge in a social context
Group
Activity
Discussion method
What is Discussion?
The action or process of talking about something in order to reach a
decision or to exchange ideas.
Discussion method
• Discussion method of teaching is a group activity involving
the teacher and the student to define the problem and seek
its solution.
• Discussion method is also described as a constructive
process involving listening ,thinking ,as well as the speaking
ability of the students
Discussion Method
• Discussion methods are a variety of forums for open-ended, collaborative
exchange of ideas among a teacher and students or among students for
the purpose of furthering students thinking, learning, problem solving,
understanding, or literary appreciation.
• Participants present multiple points of view, respond to the ideas of
others, and reflect on their own ideas in an effort to build their
knowledge, understanding, or interpretation of the matter at hand.
