This document discusses a study on the effectiveness of using an information processing approach to teach chemistry at the higher secondary level. The study used an experimental method with a control group and experimental group where the experimental group was taught using the information processing approach model. The model involves the teacher initiating material, presenting problems, probing student responses, and having students analyze and formulate hypotheses to find solutions. The study found that using this approach enhanced student achievement in chemistry compared to conventional teaching methods, as confirmed by statistically significant differences between the post-test scores of the control and experimental groups. The information processing approach provided opportunities for active student involvement in learning and greater achievement.
This research is aimed at finding out: 1) the influence of discovery learning model with RME approach on Mathematics learning achievement; 2) the influence of interpersonal intelligence on Mathematics learning achievement; 3) the interaction between discovery learning model with RME approach and interpersonal intelligence on Mathematics learning achievement.

The study investigates teachers’ classroom assessment practices of secondary schools in Bangladesh. The study is mainly quantitative with some integration of qualitative approach. Secondary science teachers and their science classrooms were main data source of the study, which were selected randomly. Data sources were secondary science teachers and their science classrooms. The study used a lesson observation protocol to understand their classroom assessment practice, and pre-lesson and post-lesson observation interview protocols as main sources of data collection. Qualitative data from interview were used to triangulate the quantitative data from observation. A total of thirty teachers (twenty male and ten female) were chosen randomly from six secondary schools in Dhaka. The study explored that teachers’ current practice of classroom assessment was to only assess students learning achievement and they followed traditional methods to assess students. The dominated assessment activity was oral questioning and very few students take part in the assessment activities by answering the questions. The classroom questions are basically focused very specific responses and encouraged rote learning; even students’ didn’t get enough time for thinking and answering the questions. Therefore the study suggests changing current practices by using different assessment strategies like self and peer assessment and focus on assessment for learning to ensure effective teaching-learning and quality education. These findings can inform the classroom teachers as well as o relevant stakeholders in making necessary changes in the present classroom assessment practices in Bangladesh.

3. The basic steps of action research include identifying a problem, planning research, collecting and analyzing data, reflecting on results, sharing findings, and repeating the cycle. Action research leads to positive changes and offers opportunities for collaboration between teachers.
This study examined the effectiveness of innovative instructional strategies for teaching educational psychology to B.Ed. trainees. 60 student trainees were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught using innovative strategies like concept maps, blogs, and cooperative learning, while the control group was taught using traditional methods. Both groups were given a pre-test and post-test on educational psychology. The study found no significant difference between the groups' pre-test scores, but a significant difference between their post-test scores, with the experimental group scoring higher. The experimental group also had higher retention scores on a follow-up test 25 days later, suggesting innovative strategies are more effective for teaching and learning educational psychology.

2. An action research approach was used, dividing students into an experimental group that received improved classroom activities, and a control group with usual instruction.
3. Results showed statistically significant differences in test performance between the groups, and improved student perceptions of classroom activities for the experimental group. Appropriate and relevant classroom activities with clear demonstrations and evaluation can improve student achievement more than overloading students with many activities.
1. Assessment for learning is different from assessment of learning in that it is used to help students learn better rather than evaluate learning. It helps students and teachers see learning goals, a student's progress, and next steps.
2. Research shows that assessment for learning is one of the most powerful ways to improve learning, especially for students who find learning challenging. It helps students learn better now and achieve more throughout their education.
3. Classroom assessment techniques developed by teachers help make the learning process more methodical and systematic by providing feedback to improve teaching methods.
The Effect of Teachers' Training in Secondary English Teachers' Practice of C...Md. Mehadi Rahman
The study investigates the effectiveness of current teachers' training programs in secondary English teachers practising CLT in Bangladesh. The study follows a mixed design. Secondary trained English teachers were the main data source of the study. The study used an observation protocol for a training session; one questionnaire for teachers, and one
FGD interview schedule for teachers as main sources of data collection. Qualitative data from the interview were used to
triangulate the quantitative data from the questionnaire. One hundred teachers were chosen randomly from twenty secondary schools from Dhaka, Bogura and Rajshahi division.
There were (25) English teachers from five schools who were
chosen purposively for FGD. Result showed that teachers
training has less positive effects on their CLT practice in the
secondary classroom. Through training, teachers understood
the importance of CLT, nevertheless they did not practice CLT properly in the classrooms. Results showed that teachers blamed the mismatch between the assessment system and the
CLT approach for the inability to implement the CLT appropriately. Therefore, the study suggests changing the
current assessment system and increasing support for the trained teachers to practise CLT in the classroom

This study assessed the College chemistry teachers assessment of their usage of eleven pedagogical
methods in the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) Benchmark. The study also monitored
the influence of teachers qualification and gender on the usage of these methods. The study was carried out in
both Federal and State Colleges of Education in the five States in South-East zone of Nigeria. The sample for
the study comprises of all the sixty-one (61) chemistry teachers drawn from the seven colleges (state & federal)
in the five States. Three research questions and the three hypotheses guided this work. 55-item questionnaire
constructed by the researcher from the eleven pedagogical methods in the Benchmark was used as instrument
for data collection. This instrument was validated by experts in the field and reliability sought and after pilot
study and found to have 0.87 alpha value using Cronbach technique. Data collected were analyzed using means
and standard deviation for research questions and independent t-test for hypotheses at 0.05 level of confidence.
The result obtained showed that chemistry teachers adequately use only four methods, (demonstration,
experimental, discussion and lecture) during their classroom instructions. All other seven methods were not
adequately used. It was also discovered that teachers’ qualification and gender have no remarkable influence
on the usage of these methods. Recommendations for the usage of other methods were made.
Qualitative Chemistry Education: The Role of the TeacherIOSR Journals
This document discusses the role of chemistry teachers in improving the quality of education in Nigeria. It identifies several factors that have contributed to the decline in quality, such as unqualified teachers, examination malpractice, and lack of practical skills. The document outlines strategies chemistry teachers can use, including changing from a lecture method to cooperative learning, concept mapping, and using information communication technology. It also stresses the importance of improvisation given limited resources. The document concludes by recommending that teachers adopt innovative teaching strategies and the government provide more funding and support for teacher training.
The article examines the flawed approach of the "hand-off" method of disseminating educational innovations. It presents two case studies: (1) Ted, a professor who designed an active learning chemistry course that was highly effective, and (2) Peter, Ted's colleague who adapted Ted's course design. While Ted was successful, Peter experienced problems adapting the course and achieving the same outcomes. The article concludes that for successful dissemination, adapting faculty should choose innovations aligned with their goals, experiment gradually with support, not just replicate another's approach.

Assessment of Chemistry Teachers Usage of National Commission for Colleges of...iosrjce
This study assessed the College chemistry teachers assessment of their usage of eleven pedagogical
methods in the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) Benchmark. The study also monitored
the influence of teachers qualification and gender on the usage of these methods. The study was carried out in
both Federal and State Colleges of Education in the five States in South-East zone of Nigeria. The sample for
the study comprises of all the sixty-one (61) chemistry teachers drawn from the seven colleges (state & federal)
in the five States. Three research questions and the three hypotheses guided this work. 55-item questionnaire
constructed by the researcher from the eleven pedagogical methods in the Benchmark was used as instrument
for data collection. This instrument was validated by experts in the field and reliability sought and after pilot
study and found to have 0.87 alpha value using Cronbach technique. Data collected were analyzed using means
and standard deviation for research questions and independent t-test for hypotheses at 0.05 level of confidence.
The result obtained showed that chemistry teachers adequately use only four methods, (demonstration,
experimental, discussion and lecture) during their classroom instructions. All other seven methods were not
adequately used. It was also discovered that teachers’ qualification and gender have no remarkable influence
on the usage of these methods. Recommendations for the usage of other methods were made.
Qualitative Chemistry Education: The Role of the TeacherIOSR Journals
This document discusses the role of chemistry teachers in improving the quality of education in Nigeria. It identifies several factors that have contributed to the decline in quality, such as unqualified teachers, examination malpractice, and lack of practical skills. The document outlines strategies chemistry teachers can use, including changing from a lecture method to cooperative learning, concept mapping, and using information communication technology. It also stresses the importance of improvisation given limited resources. The document concludes by recommending that teachers adopt innovative teaching strategies and the government provide more funding and support for teacher training.
The article examines the flawed approach of the "hand-off" method of disseminating educational innovations. It presents two case studies: (1) Ted, a professor who designed an active learning chemistry course that was highly effective, and (2) Peter, Ted's colleague who adapted Ted's course design. While Ted was successful, Peter experienced problems adapting the course and achieving the same outcomes. The article concludes that for successful dissemination, adapting faculty should choose innovations aligned with their goals, experiment gradually with support, not just replicate another's approach.

Problem-based learning is generally done with face-to-face interaction. This learning process, however, has not provided a lot of time for learners to find limitless and timeless information and learning resources. It still depends on the teacher as a source of information. Students are very dependent on the presence of lecturers during face-to-face interaction. This research aims to develop a Problem-based Blended Learning (PB2L) model to support student to improve their creative thinking skills. The method used in this research was R&D with ASSURE development model. Product validation was done through an expert’s assessment by using the expert’s validation sheet. The practicality of the product is tested with limited trials with college lecturers and some students with questionnaires and interviews. Product effectiveness was seen by implementing limited development testing to a particular class with a one group pretest-posttest design and the result was analyzed by using a Paired-Samples T-Test. The result of this research is a Problem-based Blended Learning (PB2L) valid, practical and effectively improves students' creative thinking abilities. The effectiveness of the learning model was also proven on the basis of Paired-Samples T-Test of students’ pretest and posttest with sig. (2-tailed) 0.000. This learning gives students the opportunity to think systematically by beginning by criticizing the interesting contextual problems and ending with meaningful reflection with adequate learning resources both in face-to-face and online interaction.

Metacognitive Strategies: Instructional Approaches in Teaching and Learning o...IJAEMSJORNAL
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the metacognitive strategies as instructional approaches in teaching and learning of Basic Calculus. A number of 48 students consisting of 24 boys and 24 girls were purposively sampled in this study. Pretest-posttest quasi experimental research design was used which applied t-test and descriptive statistics. Both groups were subject to two instruments that were comprised of problem-solving test (pretest and posttest) and observation guide. Experimental group was taught Basic Calculus using metacognitive strategies while the control group was taught Basic Calculus using traditional teaching strategies. Both groups were subject to a pretest. Class observation was done while the two teaching strategies were applied. In the end, the posttest was administered to both groups to identify the effectiveness of the two teaching strategies. The data gathered were treated using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The results of the study showed that the experimental group had significantly higher posttest scores as compared to control group which proved that metacognitive teaching strategies were more effective in improving the performance and problem-solving skills of the students than the traditional teaching strategies. It was also observed that students who taught using metacognitive strategies helped the students to be extremely engaged in Basic Calculus lessons cognitively, behaviorally, and affectively. The study reveals that the significant increase of the students’ learning engagement in Basic Calculus lessons led the students to a corresponding increase in their posttest scores.

Teaching Mathematics with Innovative Methodsijcnes
In every society and in every age, a system of education is evolved according to its need and the temper of its times. Actually education means the development of habits, attitudes and skills which help a man to lead a full and worthwhile life. It is not just storage of information. Various teaching methods that can be adopted in colleges or higher educational institutions create a congenial learning environment in the teaching learning situations. The learner centered teaching methods are the co �operative endeavors to be followed both by the teacher and students. Such approaches remove passivity, dullness, non performance of the students. Without much difficulty, the teacher can shift his teaching strategy from lecturing to the learner- centered approaches. Teachers must have accurate knowledge of the subject, ability to bring the subject matter to the level of student understanding, self confidence, ability of expression, knowledge of evolution techniques, ability in questioning and respect for students opinion. The methods like Flanders interaction analysis, verbal interaction category system, reciprocal category system and equivalent talk category system may be employed for better teaching

Introduction
In the current world, schools have embraced technology in many ways that have eased the processes, delivery, and propagation of knowledge; technology has assisted institutions and made communication efficient and effective. I firmly believe that implementation of technology in schools and classrooms will improve the quality of education and makes learning more attractive to students, technology is not static and implementing it in education sector makes students get to know the current and develop skills to cope with new ones that he or she might meet in the job market, the objective of this paper is to focus on use of technology in schools and classrooms and its benefits it can accrue when fully implemented (Clark,2015). This is an essential objective since technology forms a significant part of our daily lives, and it is necessary for the students to have positive attitudes towards it early. This will enable them to adapt better in their lives outside school and consequently become more productive individuals in society.
Three Learning instructional strategies
Instructional strategies require that teachers require some experience and at least know the student's way of learning, his or her interest, this is quite necessary since it makes them know leaner development levels, making this such decision requires student assessment which is linked to the learning goals and the processes of learning. This kind of strategy can be categorized into five, which relate to each other.
Direct instruction strategy is commonly used and is mainly based on the direct engagement of the teacher and the student. This method may include plain teaching where teachers engaged student directly, and it is also include lecturing, drilling, and demonstrations, this method is effective and good enough to provide sufficient information as well as developing skills step by step hence help students construct knowledge, applying technology with his strategy can help the teacher to introduced other teaching methods, effective direct instructional strategy is more complicated than it appears. The use of technology in this would make it a bit dull to use.

It is unrealistic to expect students to have future literacy about science, information, and technology if their education includes only facts and concepts relevant during the school years. While life presents situations that cannot be solved by learned responses, the metacognitive strategy is brought into play. Metacognitive skills are needed when habitual responses are not successful. Metacognitive skills will enable students to successfully cope with new situations. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a practical model of implementing strategies to increase students’ ability to comprehend texts and find solutions to word problems based on the theories and empirical background of metacognition. In addition, the distinction between metacognition and cognition and explicit instruction on the learning strategies to develop students metacognitive skills were discussed. It concludes that teachers can raise the level of metacognitive thought in their classrooms by modeling the processes. The use of metacognitive strategies will enable students to be independent and strategic learners.

Provenance can be used to assess trust by providing metadata about how data was processed. The document then discusses challenges for using provenance to establish trust in wireless sensor networks, which have constraints on energy and computation. Finally, it provides background on trust, which is the subjective probability that a node will behave dependably. Trust architectures need to be lightweight to account for the constraints of wireless sensor networks.

Abstract
Teaching is considered both an art and a science. Successful and effective teaching requires two basic
things. The teacher should be competent to teach the subject allotted to him/her at the same time he/she
should follow new techniques of teaching to make the learning fruitful and interesting. The traditional
methods of technology have failed to generate the required behavioural outcomes, abilities and skills
needed to facilitate the learning of curricular subjects. Knowledge of the recent development will help the
teacher in making his/her teaching more effective and increase his/her efficiency for class room
functioning. Such a background will solve classroom problems, enable him/her to organize teaching
activities and select instructional design and teaching models and innovative techniques appropriate for
his/her classroom situation. All innovative strategies and techniques, it should give enough scope for
developing learning environment among students. Processing information is the main concern of any
teacher. If the information is processed effectively, learning techniques should be right and they should
meet the individual needs of all learners and so the teachers should adopt a model of teaching which would
be flexible and interactive. The information processing approach technique in teaching chemistry was
effective in Higher Secondary School classes. Implementation of this approach provided a great
opportunity, to students to take an active part in the process of learning. Through the information
processing approach the achievement of student was enhanced to a great extent.
Keywords: Information, Processing, Model, Chemistry
1. Introduction
The aim of teaching any school subject must always be directed towards achieving the aims of education in
general. The teaching of science as a subject must, therefore contribute to the all-round development of the
child so that he comes out as socially useful and efficient citizen of the modern scientific world. According
to the Kothari commission (1964-66) “The destiny of the country is being shaped in her class rooms”. To
achieve the above goals and to meet the situation in a suitable way the teacher has to play a very vital role
in educational institution and come into the lime light. Teaching is considered both an art and a science.
Successful and effective teaching requires two basic things. The teachers should be competent to teach the
subject allotted to him/her at the same time he/she should follow new techniques of teaching to make the
learning fruitful and interesting.
2. Discussion
National policy on education (1986) proposed the need for modifying curriculum and methodologies of
learning through appropriate research. This can be achieved by the process of sensory integration which
plays an important role in the processing information among higher secondary school students and hence,
this research is attempted for the betterment of the teaching learning process. In our system of examination

where cramming and rote learning are encouraged, strategies such as information processing will be useful
in making learners think originally and critically. It is hoped that the effect of sensory enhancement will
promote attention and be get strategies that would help the learner process information in a logical manner.
Instead of making the learner simply reproduce the textual materials with or without understanding, the
information processing approach will enhance achievement and it will encourage learner to think and
understand the subject matter. This will go a long way in making the teaching-learning of chemistry a
purposeful and meaningful activity.
The traditional methods of teaching have failed to generate the required behavioral outcomes,
abilities and skills needed to facilitate the learning of curricular subjects. Knowledge of the recent
developments will help the teacher in making her/his teaching more effective and increase her/his
efficiency for class room functioning. Such a background will solve classroom problems, enable her/him to
organize teaching activities and select instruction design and teaching models and innovative strategies and
techniques appropriate for his/her classroom situation. All innovative strategies and techniques, should
give enough scope for developing learning environment among students. For effective learning of a
subject, effective teaching is necessary. Though many environment factors play vital role in the learning
process, teaching plays the major role.
Successful and effective teaching requires two basic things. The teacher should be competent to
teach the subject allotted to him/her. At the same time he/she should follow new techniques of teaching to
make the learning fruitful and interesting. The traditional methods of teaching pay little attention to the
psychological, biological aspects of students in learning. The teacher worries or little about the information
taught has been processed or not whether it has been retrieved or recalled. Hence a necessity arose to know
about the effective processing of information. This approach deals with the processes involved in receiving
storing and retrieving information effectively. The information processing approach applied to the study of
human perceptual and cognitive activities is useful in imaging. Now we recognize objects, and how we
remember what we have understood. In other words it is based in “Cognition”, which deals with processes
through which information coming through the sense is transformed, reduced, elaborated and recovered.
Processing information is the main concern of any teacher. If the information is processed effectively, then
learning techniques should be right and they should meet the individual needs of all learners and so the
teachers should adopt a model of teaching which would be flexible and interactive. The information
processing approach technique in teaching CHEMISTRY was effective in Higher Secondary classes. The
Experimental method was adopted by the investigator as the study is experimental in nature.

Step 2: To identify the portions in higher secondary Chemistry syllabus to be taught through the
information processing approach.
Step 3: Selection of the sample by the random sampling method only 20 students be included in the
experimental group.
Step 4: Parallel group method is to be employed. (Control-experimental Groups)
Step 5: To measure the entry behavior of the group by administering a test (pre-test)
Step 6: To teach the group based on the model of teaching through the information processing approach.
Step 7: To assess the terminal behavior of the group by administering test (post-test)
Step 8: To find out a greater effectiveness of teaching through the information processing approach model
compared with of
other methods.
Step 9: To identify how far teaching through the information processing approach model has enhanced the
achievement level of students to a greater degree than teaching through conventional methods.
1. The information processing approach enhances the achievement of learners in chemistry. The statistical
analysis of the post-test performance of the experimental group confirmed this.
2. The mean score differences of the post-test between the control and experimental group students are
significant.
Implementation of this approach provided a great opportunity to students to take an active part in the
process of learning. Through the information processing approach the achievement of student was
enhanced to a great extent.
4. Construction of tool
The researcher constructed a questionnaire. The investigator constructed an achievement test to two levels
for the pre-test and post-test.
5. Validity of the tools
Validity of a test is defined to be accuracy with which a test measures. The purpose and validity of a test
are closely related. A research tool should have reliability and validity. The content validity of the pre-test
was established by critical analysis to be done by experienced chemistry teachers. On the basis of the
modifications suggested by the panel of experts necessary changes were carried out in the question paper.
Thus the content validity of the tools was established.
6. Reliability of the tools
The consistency in the measurement of a test is called its reliability. A test should yield the same result
when it is valued on different occasions by the same individual. A test is reliable to the extent that it
measures accurately and consistently from time. The reliability of a tool shows its stability (or) stable
form. The consistency of measurement observed for the same individual on different occasions can be
established by one of the techniques. (1) Split-half (2) Test-retest (3) Alternative(or) parallel method (4)
KR20 technique (or) Rational equivalence. In this study the researcher has followed KR20 technique, for
establishing reliability. The reliability value for the pretest and post achievement test were found to be 0.91
respectively. It shows the tools designed by the researcher were highly reliable. The method of rational
equivalence attempts to get an estimate of the reliability of a test and is free from objections raised against
the other methods mentioned earlier. This method stresses the inter correlations of the items in the test as
well as a whole.
7. Scheme of data analysis
Mean, S.D, scores were calculated Non parametric tests like Mann Whitney’U’ test, Wilcoxon’s matched
pairs signed rank rest, Pearson rank correlation test and ‘t’ test were also done to verify how far the

teaching learning process through the information processing approach model had improved the learners
achievement in chemistry.
Major findings
1.the experimental and control group students do not differ significantly in their pre-test scores. This
implies that the two group students were equal in their academic performance before the implementation of
the program.
2. The information processing approach enhances the achievement of learners in chemistry. The statistical
analysis of the post-test performance of the experimental group confirmed this.
3. The mean score differences on the post-test between the control and experimental group students is
significant.
4. The performance of experimental group students in learning chemistry has considerably improved after
the implementation of the program.
8. Educational Implications
The investigator has established the fact that if the students are taught chemistry through information
processing approach model, they will be able to understand chemistry very easily. The study shows that
this approach could be more effective, in learning chemistry as well as other curricular subjects.
1.In this approach the teacher strives to facilitate the learners construction of meaning and the processing of
information to make it more manageable and understandable.
2.The students must be encouraged to put questions on the topic. The teacher should guide the students by
giving suggestions and by probing students responses. On the basis of the responses the teacher must
redesign his instructional strategies.
Teaching techniques may vary depending upon the subject we teach and largely depend upon the
biological, psychological and environmental background of the learner. This new approach is expected to
bring fruitful results to students. The steps involved in the information processing approach provides
greater opportunities to learners to take part in the process of learning actively in all stages. This approach
will increase the involvement and interest of the learners. The main problem which concerns all teachers at
all stages of teaching is the facilitation of learning, as teachers are regarded as facilitators of learning. Only
effective teaching leads to purposeful learning. When the investigator adopted the information processing
approach the achievement of the students was enhanced to a great extent. If every institution adopts this
novel method of teaching, learning of chemistry will be made easy to the students.
9. Suggestions for further research
1. The present study was carried out only in teaching chemistry similar studies may be carried out in
teaching other
science subjects also at the higher secondary level.
2. The present study was carried out only with a limited sample. The sample size may be increased in order
to
generalize the findings.
3. separate studies may be carried out for boys and girls.
4. The study may be conducted in other higher secondary schools of Tamilnadu, South India.
5. Detailed studies may be carried out by relating the steps involved in the information processing approach
to the
cognitive processes.
6. The same investigation may be carried out in arts subjects.
7. The investigation may be extended to graduate and post graduate levels to find out the effectiveness of
the
approach at the tertiary level.
8. The study may be conducted in rural schools so as to see how far the place plays its role in dividing the
efficacy information processing approach model.

Conclusion
The information processing approach technique in teaching chemistry was effective in XI standard of
Vairams Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Pudukkottai, Tamilnadu, South India as per the results
obtained through the study. So it was a challenging experience to the teacher. When the investigator
adopted the information processing approach the achievement of students was enhanced to a great extent.
The traditional approach seems to be a one way process where as the information processing approach is a
two way communicating, interacting medium between teacher and learner. Hence all teacher education
courses should include this approach to mark the shift from mere pedagogy to technical innovation.
