“The power of the mind does not depend upon the amount of information accumulated in pieces, not related to one another, but is rather on well-organised system on which all these pieces of knowledge are taught, showing their relationship with one another. This is known as the principle of Correlation
Knowledge cannot be split into various compartments. Though different subjects of curriculum are taught and learnt, they are not separate and independent of one another.

The Seven Philosophies of Education
Existentialism - Existentialism in education focuses on the individual, seeking out a personal understanding of the world.
Essentialism - Essentialism values the “essence” of each object. Essence refers to the attribute, or set of attributes that make an object what it fundamentally is, and must have.
Progressivism - Progressivism holds that education should focus on the whole child, rather than on the content or the teacher. This educational philosophy stresses that students should test ideas by active experimentation.
Behaviorism - Behaviorism holds that behavior is shaped deliberately by forces in the environment and that the type of person and actions desired can be the product of design.
Constructivism - Constructivism claims that the learner actively constructs his or her own understandings of reality through interaction with objects, events, and people in the environment, and reflecting on these interactions. For learning to occur, an event, object, or experience must conflict with what the learner already knows. Therefore, the learner's previous experiences determine what can be learned.
Linguistic Philosophy - Linguistic philosophy is the view that philosophical problems could be solved (or dissolved) either by reforming language or by understanding more about the language that we presently use.
Perennialism - Perennialism is a normative educational philosophy according to which one should teach the things that are of everlasting relevance to all people everywhere and that the emphasis should be on principles, not facts.
The term ‘correlation’ in its simplest form means “connect or to be connected” .
To be more precise, ‘Correlation’ means mutual relations of two or more things/persons.
Thus ‘Correlation’ is a mutual relationship between various subjects of school/college curriculum.
Purpose
Correlation in teaching is a technique which shows reciprocal relationship between various subjects of curriculum for making knowledge concrete and permanent.
It is the conscious effort made by teachers teaching various subjects, to show similarities or dependence of one subject on another to make the knowledge concrete and permanent.
Makabayan is the learning area that lays most stress on the development of social awareness, empathy and a firm commitment to our common goal as a nation.
It entails the use of integrated units, which enable the individual to personally process, assimilate and systematically practice wide range of values and life skills including work ethic.
Content analysis is the analysis of topic or content unit to be taught, into its constituents or element and arrange them in a logical sequence thus the required to meet the objectives can be said the content for that class.
CONTENT ANALYSIS
A content is a meaningful matter in the text to be analyze the printed matter according to the needs and requirements of that class.
Content is the printed material supplied for achieving educational objectives.
Content analysis consists of identifying the constituent units of contents and their interrelationships.
Meaning of content Analysis- The term ‘ Content analysis’ refers to two different concepts.
The word ‘content’ generally refers to the subject matter put by the teacher; it also refer to the printed material from the book.
But it does have more meaning than this. Printing matter may be the same for two different classes but the content can not be same.
Content depends upon the objectives fixed for that particular standard.
We have to analyze the printed matter according to the needs and requirements of that standard. That means, “the matter required to meet the objectives can be said the content for that standard”
According to I. K. Davis,
“It is the analysis of topic or content unit to be taught, in to its constituents or elements and arrange them in a logical sequence.” It simply means that different items are included in the content. The teacher has to find out them and arrange them in a logical sequence.
FACTORS OF CONTENT ANALYSIS -
TERMS: It is name given to a concrete or an abstract idea
e.g. lava, molten lava, mixture, liquid material ,solid material etc
CONCEPTS: It is a generalized idea suggested to the individual by object, symbol or situation. Formed when concrete or abstract things having similar characteristics are grouped tighter.
e.g. Triangle, Mammals, rainfalls, mountain, continent , soft water , hard water etc.
PRINCIPLE:
A principle is the statement that indicates interrelationships between two or more concept
e.g. Iron is a magnetic material .
As latitude increases the temperature decreases.
Law: law is systematic collection of many principles
DEFINITIONS: Statement that explains the meaning of a word or a phrase. Description of a concrete object and abstract idea in comprehensive limited word
NEED OF CONTENT ANALYSIS -
It helps to know which objective we will be achieved after teaching that unit.
Understand the element of the unit.
Know the nature of the content whether the content is difficult or easy.
Select learning experiences.
Explain new terms/concepts.
Identify core elements and value.
Decide tool for evaluation.
Selecting teaching methods.
Analysis of unit-

11. Maxims of teaching
School records and Registers: School is an public institution. In the matter of its effective functioning it is answerable to several bodies, agencies and authorities. Records must serve to indicate not only the students progress but also to prove the value of the teacher work and administrative work. Record means document that memorializes and provides objective evidence of activities performed, events occurred, results achieved, or statements made. Maintaining records organizes information for retrieval when it is needed. The maintenance of records is indispensable for systematic and successful working of a school
Study of School Management- Management of Infrastructural Resources in SchoolMIT
This presentation gives orientation about study of infrastructural facilities at school. Any place can be good to read and learn for those who love to read and study. For them, knowledge is immaterial, the space does not matter, and physical context is secondary.
However, if we look at this in the reality of educational system, the conditions of the schools directly impacts the performance of the students.
The location of a school has an enormous significance, and it should be set up in a suitable atmosphere. It should be far away from the noises and the polluting atmosphere where the child can easily absorb what is being taught in school. The atmosphere should be calm, spacious with good amenities and utilities in a visually appealing landscape. The school should have enough lighting, useful facilities such as libraries, toilets, playground, sinks, multipurpose rooms, work areas, lockers, storage spaces, teachers, administration, etc.
In this presentation Henri Fayol's Principles of Management are given in detail. Henri Fayol is called as Father of Modern Management. His theory is called as Fayolism or Administrative Management Theory. He is the first management thinker to question the nature of management and put forward a theory designed to apply in all managerial context.
Management according to Henri Fayol is the process of getting activities completed efficiently and effectively with other people, which involves planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting and budgeting.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. WHAT WE WILL LEARN ABOUT
CORRELATION ?
❖ INTRODUCTION
❖ MEANING / DEFINITION
❖ SIGNIFICANCE OF CORRELATION
❖ USES OF CORRELATION
❖ PRINCIPLES OF CORRELATION
❖ TYPES
➢ Correlation with Practical Life
➢ Correlation of Science with other Subjects
5. KNOWLEDGE
We formed a word “Knowledge”.
What it indicates?
❖ Knowledge cannot be split into various compartments.
❖ Though different subjects of curriculum are taught and learnt, they are
not separate and independent of one another.
6. INTRODUCTION
❖ Herbert first conceived the idea of correlating the teaching of various
subjects. ‘All knowledge is one unit’.
❖ “The power of the mind does not depend upon the amount of information
accumulated in pieces, not related to one another, but is rather on well-
organised system on which all these pieces of knowledge are taught,
showing their relationship with one another. This is known as the principle
of Correlation
❖ Knowledge cannot be split into various compartments. Though different
subjects of curriculum are taught and learnt, they are not separate and
independent of one another.
7. Continue..
❖ It is impossible and unscientific to teach science as an independent
subject. Knowledge grows and develops due to interrelated particles of
knowledge.
❖ When all the subjects are correlated and taught, teaching becomes more
effective because the subject help in understanding the other subject.
❖ Therefore it is necessary to interrelate new knowledge with the previous
knowledge. Such interrelationship establishes correlation.
8. MEANING / DEFINITION
The knowledge skill and approaches acquired through the study of one subject
helps in learning the other subject. This is the law of knowledge.
Definitions:
1. The term ‘correlation’ in its simplest form means “connect or to be
connected”.
2. To be more precise, ‘Correlation’ means mutual relations of two or more
things/persons. But , Correlation in teaching indicates ‘a technique which
shows the reciprocal relationship between various subjects of the curriculum
for making the knowledge concrete and permanent”
3. It is the conscious effort made by teachers teaching various subjects, to show
similarities or dependence of one subject on another”
9. Continue..
4. “Correlation is concerned with describing the degree of relation between
variables.”
5. “Correlation is an analysis of covariation between two or more variables”.
Thus ‘correlation’ is just a mutual relationship between various variables, i.e.,
subjects of school/college curriculum.
6. Correlation is the reciprocal relationship between various subjects of the
curriculum. Correlation of various subject is very much essential for checking
artificiality of treatment and for integration of knowledge.
- K. L. Arora

7. SIMPSON and KAFKA:
“Correlation analysis deals with the association between two or more
variables.”
8. FERGUSON:
“Correlation is concerned with describing the degree of relation between
variables.”
9. M. TAULE:
“Correlation is an analysis of co-variation between two or more variables”.
Thus ‘correlation’ is just a mutual relationship between various variables, i.e.,
subjects of school/college curriculum.
11. SIGNIFICANCE OF CORRELATION
❖ The most significant development of the 21th century education is the
emphasis on imparting unified, integrated and meaningful knowledge of
the pupils.
❖ Imparting of knowledge in the isolated facts of History, Geography,
Science, Economics etc. has become obsolete. A child’s mind is an
integrated whole which wants to receive experiences in an integrated
manner.
12. Uses of Correlation are as follows
1. Mind perceives knowledge as a whole.
Earlier:
Assumed Human Minds consists of so many mental faculties and each faculty like
faculty of reasoning , thinking, memorization etc, were supposed to be developed
through the study of a specific subject. So each subject had an independent
function. But Education Psychologists have disregarded this study.
Now :
Mind consists as a whole and so receives knowledge as a whole. All the subjects
aim to develop the intellectual power of the students as a whole. Therefore it
becomes necessary to correlate one subject with another. No subject can be taught
in isolation.
13. Continue..
2. RETENTION OF EARLIER KNOWLEDGE:
Fragments of knowledge may accumulate at one place in the form of distinct
layers. Since every piece of knowledge is gained through one and the same
mind. Failure in establishing links between the current layers of knowledge
and previous ones may be an obstacle to retention of earlier knowledge.
Always LINK OLD KNOWLEDGE WITH NEW.
3. USEFUL KNOWLEDGE:
Knowledge is useful when it can be applied to day to day life. Correlation of
a subject with daily life helps to make the knowledge broad-based and makes
knowledge useful.
14. 4.ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT:
The aim of education “to achieve the development of an all round personality”,
cannot be done by teaching only a few subjects in isolation.
5. It helps to achieve unity of knowledge and develops worthy interests and
attitudes in students for acquiring knowledge, because it provides the practical
and life related learning to the students. Eg. Science students hating literature.
6. It develops the mental abilities like imagination power, logical thinking and
analytical power of students, because they can easily correlate one acquired
knowledge with the other.
Continue..
15. 7. It strengthens skills that students encounter in one content area but also practice
in another, leading to mastery of those skills.(skill of making graph in maths and
economics)
8. It makes learning concrete and permanent.
9. It makes the lesson easy and clear.
10. It helps to enable the students to acquire knowledge in a short period of time.
11. Develops various human and social qualities such as co-operation, citizenship
etc.
Continue..
16. 12. It helps to lighten the burden of curriculum. (e.g. economics teacher having
taught ‘the law of demand and supply’, a commerce teacher may not have to
again teach it from beginning)
13. It helps the teacher to complete the curriculum in very short period of time.
Continue..
17. PRINCIPLES OF CORRELATION
❖ It should be simple, natural, suited to the nature of the subject and the stage of
the pupil’s mental development.
❖ It should be adequate and judicious.
❖ Main topic or main subject should be the main focus. Other topics/subjects
should be linked to it and then revert again to the main topic.
❖ When doing systematic correlation, teachers could sit together and discuss how
to correlate.
❖ It should involve the previous knowledge of the students. It should be done
only where it is possible, else it leads to superficial correlation.
➢ Eg. The study of voyage of Columbus cannot lead to ocean currents,
invasion of Alexander to the calculation of its expenses. The secondary
topics do not help in understanding the primary ones
18. Types of Correlation:
Correlation with Practical Life:
Correlation of the given subject with daily activities.
According to Herbert Spencer, the main aim of education is to prepare students
for future life. This aim can be achieved only if education is correlated with
life. Therefore, teaching of various subjects should be correlated with various
aspects of life.
subject is best understood when it is applicable to daily life. Correlation of a
subject with daily life is of the utmost importance in order to create interest in
the subject. Correlation with daily life makes the subject relevant instead of
being only theory with no practical applications.
19. Correlation of Science with other Subjects
As known that for over all development of the students, various subjects are being
included in the curriculum. These subjects are not selected on ad-hoc basis, but
this decision is taken after proper consideration and analysation. Generally those
subjects are included in the curriculum which is found to be complementary to
each other, as the main objective of all of them is to achieve set objective of
education that is to bring about over all development of the students.
Science is quite a complex and vast kind of subject, because of which the task of
correlating it with other subjects of curriculum seems to be quite an easy task.
Deliberate effort should be done by the science teacher to bring about correlation
in between the science and other subjects of the curriculum, which are being
imparted to the students.
20. Through this, students will find the opportunity to relate the knowledge which
they have already gained, with the knowledge which they are gaining. This
kind of relation activity leads to development of interest among the students.
While imparting knowledge of one subject, teacher gets much help in
communicating his ideas if he makes use of examples or reference of concepts
covered by other subjects. Although it is not very easy to co-relate various
subjects with the complex subject like science, but it is not impossible. This
can be done in the following manner:-
Continue..
21. Science and Language:
Although science is a practical subject, but it is very important for it’s learners to be able to
express their views and ideas in clear and attractive form. For this purpose, it is necessary that
they should have thorough knowledge of language which they use. Student who does not have
good control over the language cannot express his views and various scientific laws and
principles in front of others and especially in front of teacher.
Today, as a result of adoption of uniform technical terms and symbols, vocabulary of different
languages have been enriched to considerable extent. In making students able to give answers
of various scientific queries, in effective manner, either in written form or orally, science
teacher and language teacher should take up a joint responsibility on their shoulders.
To co-relate science with language subjects, students can be asked to write essays on some
scientific topic. If student make any kind of grammatical mistake, then the teacher can ask him
to make correction in his language. Likewise, language teacher can give the task of writing
about some scientific happening in the assignment designed for them. In this manner, he can
correlate science with the language.
22. Science with Mathematics:
A large number of scientific principles and rules are represented in the form of
mathematical expressions, for which it is very necessary for the student or person
intending to get advanced study of science subjects to have sound mathematical
basis. Without making use of mathematical expressions and rules, it is not possible
for any teacher to conduct science teaching in effective manner.
The significance of mathematics in the science can be proved by the views of the
experts that mathematics has given sound footing to the scientific laws and
principles. Before beginning any topic in the science, it is essential for the teacher
to make sure that mathematical basis of all the students is strong and vast.
23. Probably, mathematics is considered to be sole language of science because of
which real understanding of science is considered to be impossible without adequate
knowledge of mathematics. Some of the useful mathematical tools which are
generally used in the science teaching are Algebraic equations, Geometrical
formulas, Graphs etc.
Correlationship existing in between one of the subject of science and mathematics
can be understood. Astrology is an advanced branch of science in which it is
predicted or enumerated that which planet revolves at which speed and when it will
get appeared to the people of earth.
This is quite complex area, and no one can enter into this complex area without
having a sound mathematical basis. Likewise, mathematical rules and theories are
also applied to considerable extent in physics, in which no one can intend to take
even single step without relying on the subject of mathematics.
Continue..
24. Thus, it can be said that science teacher should make all efforts by which he can
establish correlation in between the subjects of science and mathematics. It will
not be improper in any way to consider both of these subjects as complementary
to each other, which can be studied simultaneously or at the same time.
For this reason it can be said that without making use of examples from
mathematics, it is not possible for science teacher to explain various scientific
principles and concepts properly to the students. To make it possible, sincere
and deliberate efforts should be made by science as well as mathematics teacher
to co-relate both the subjects in accordance with the syllabus.
Continue..
25. Science and History:
It sounds quite amazing that some kind of correlation can exist in between the science
and history as earlier subject is practical in nature while nature of later subject is purely
theoretical. However, it is possible to co-relate these subjects with each other.
While mentioning about the various scientific discoveries taken place in the earlier
periods, teacher can relate with the major events of the world history. Students should
be told about that what was the situation of science at the time of reigns of various
famous kings or rulers. Teacher should narrate to the incidences which inspired various
scientists to found out the medical remedies of various diseases.
Not only this, the function of co-relating science with history can be done by
mentioning the kind of living standard people used to experience at different parts of
the human history. With such knowledge, they will become aware of the scientific
concepts like sanitation and healthful living.
26. Science and Geography:
Geography is the subject in which various concepts relating to earth on which we live
are dealt with. Everything existing on earth, on different planets of the universe are
also main subjects of geography. Which kind of crop should be sown in which kind of
soils, how many kinds of rocks are found on the earth are some of the main topics
which are covered by Geography. One will be surprise by this fact as these topics are
also covered by the subject of Science.
In science, various concepts relating to the atmosphere and earth in which living and
non-living beings exist are made. For this reason, temperature, wind directions and
measurement of rainfall are conducted in the subject of science by making use of
various apparatus.
27. Results obtained by the science in terms of climate and the manner in which it
affect the human beings and earth are being interpreted by subject of Geography.
The manner in which it is mentioned by the geography that how soil gets produced
through crushing process of rocks, it makes the subject a special branch of science.
Therefore, geography lessons on these subjects will be best understood and
appreciated if they have been discussed in length by the science teacher. There are
various topics which are of common interest for geographers and scientists. Thus, it
can be said that both of these subjects are complementary to each other. Both of
these subjects are very near to each other, thus science teacher will not find any
kind of problem in relating science with the subject of geography.
Continue..
28. Science and Social Studies:
If one explores the history of development of human society, he will find various incidents
in which human got victory over forces of nature, by which he got control over the land,
sky and seas. As said that an important impact of science teaching is that outlook and
perspective of students or people become scientific in nature, as a result of which, various
kinds of changes take place in their way of living.
Scientific thinking affects the standard of living of human beings to considerable extent, as
through such information, outlook and perspective of human beings become more wide
and they can freed themselves successfully from the clutches of superstitions and false
beliefs.
Various evidences can be found in our life which can show the significant way in which
life style of human beings have got affected by inclusion of scientific developments in
their life. Today, we can found various kinds of machines for performing different
functions, about which primitive men even did not think.
29. As a result of these machines, our life has become very easy and smooth and now
we can accomplish complex functions within short period of time, which were
considered to be very time consuming. Not only this, various research works has
led to development of various medicines with the help of which physicians have
found the remedies of various diseases, which were once considered to be
incurable and were responsible for bringing about heavy loss of life in earlier
times.
Not only this, earlier a large number of manpower was being engaged in the
agricultural sector, but now we are moving towards highly developed industries,
as a result of which we are ready to participate in the competition taking place in
global market. We have third highest number of professionals engaged in different
areas of the world.
Continue..
30. Now a large number of students intend to get education from foreign universities, but
they want to serve their own nation and want to play effective role in bringing about
development of the nation with greater pace. Earlier people were not provided with the
developments taking place in the scientific area, as a result of which they used to
accept all the orders imposed on them.
But now, in a scientific advanced time, people have learned that being human beings,
they have certain rights, and if any attack is being made on their rights, they begin to
agitate. This can be the possible reason that why women of our nation has attained
those rights which were not permitted to them in the earlier time.
Continue..
31. Another change which has taken place in our society through such reasoning
ability is the manner in which people belonging to minority section of the
society are asking or reservations in various spheres of the life. They are
asking about reservations in educational institutions and even in parliament of
the nation.
Thus it can be said that science and social sciences are two subjects which can
be correlated with each other without much problem. A science teacher can
correlate science with social studies on different occasions by providing
suitable relations of relevance.
Continue..
32. Science and Civics:
The main objective of imparting information of both the subjects is to create good
and useful citizens for the nation, thus it is possible to correlate both of these
subjects with each other. Through science, students become able to understand the
utility of scientific inventions in their life, by which they become more responsible.
They begin to realise a sense of responsibility, which help them in playing
important role in development of the nation. Through information of scientific
facts, students get to know about various kinds of diseases and the role which they
can play in creating a healthy and clean atmosphere around them. Through this
kind of information, they become more responsible citizens and play an important
role in creating an ideal civic life in the society and nation as a whole.
33. Science and Art:
It is considered by the majority of people that it is science who has contributed a great deal in
developing the field of art, but this is not true, as both of these subjects or areas has played
important roles in enriching each other. All types of arts have got enriched as a result of
scientific developments, but it is not possible for a science teacher to impart information
relating to various scientific facts and principles without having thorough control over the art.
As known that science is a practical subject, as a result of which, science teacher is required
to draw various kinds of diagrams, models and charts, which cannot be performed unless he
does not have sound artistic skills. Not only this, it is equally important for an artist to have
thorough knowledge of scientific principles, as without it, he will find it difficult to keep the
colour contrast of his images in attractive and controlled position.
An artist should know the principles of light and shade, objects and background for drawing
or keeping the colour contrast in attractive condition. Thus, it can be said that some common
features are found in the subjects of science and art, because of which they can be correlated
with each other effectively.
34. Science and Music:
In our nation, music has its own importance as different kinds of songs are found in
different parts of the nation. There are songs and theories of music in different languages.
Various musical stars got born in our nation, but the number of persons engaged in musical
area has diminished to considerable extent as now people consider it as wastage of time and
efforts.
To encourage people and especially students to get involve themselves in professions
having their roots in music, this has been accepted as an independent subject in various
schools and institutions and it forms an integral part of school curriculum. For the students
of music, knowledge of resonance, vibration systems in strings and air columns is very
necessary and important.
35. To make improvements in their voice and manner of singing, various scientific
equipments are being used today, which could not come into being without
scientific developments. Thus, it is only through the utilisation of scientific
developments in the real life that led to development of various apparatuses
used in the musical field. Science teacher can relate subject of science with the
music by narrating the students that what led to development of various
equipments used by the musicians and on which principles do they operate or
function.

36. Science and Craft Works:
Some people will find it quite unsound to relate science and craft works with each other,
but various kinds of improvements can be brought about in ability of students to
understand various scientific principles and facts. During craft periods, students can be
provided with the task of designing various pieces of scientific apparatuses and
equipments.
Through such step, scientific interest can be developed in the students, which will help in
arousing the interest of students in various scientific incidences. An urge will get
developed in them to see or observe the equipments or apparatuses designed by them in
reality, by which they will be motivated to get more and more information regarding the
research functions conducted in the scientific field through various means and sources.
Thus, it can be said that if science teacher will relate science with other subjects of the
curriculum, then he will get more justifiable and satisfactory results.
