2. Making classroom an effective learning
hub:
Learning is:
 an activity of construction,
 handled with (or in the context of)
others,
 driven by learner’s agency.
Effective learning is all of these at their
best, PLUS the monitoring and review of
whether approaches and strategies are
proving effective for the particular goals
and context.

3. This cycle highlights activity in learning (Do), the need for reflection and
evaluation (Review), the extraction of meaning from the review (Learn), and
the planned use of learning in future action (Apply).

4.  Start with Questions
 Engage students actively
 Concentrate on the collection and use of evidence
 Provide historical prospective
 Insist on Clear expression
 Use a team approach
 Do not separate knowing from finding out
 De-emphasize memorization of Technical Vocabulary
Effective teaching-learning Processes:

5.  Start with Questions:
Begins with questions and phenomena that are interesting
and familiar to students, not with abstractions or
phenomena outside their range of perception,
understanding, or knowledge.
 Engage Students Actively:
Students need to have many and varied opportunities for
collecting, sorting and cataloging; observing, note taking
and sketching; interviewing, polling, and surveying; and
using hand lenses, microscopes, thermometers, cameras,
and other common instruments. They should dissect;
measure, count, graph, and compute; explore the chemical
properties of common substances; plant and cultivate; and
systematically observe the social behavior of humans and
other animals.

6.  Concentrate on the collection and use of evidence:
Students should be given problems—at levels appropriate to their maturity—that require
them to decide what evidence is relevant and to offer their own interpretations of what
the evidence means.
 Provide historical prospective:
Students can develop a sense of how science really happens by learning something of
the growth of scientific ideas, of the twists and turns on the way to our current
understanding of such ideas, of the roles played by different investigators and
commentators, and of the interplay between evidence and theory over time.
 Insist on Clear expression:
Effective oral and written communication is so important in every facet of life that
teachers of every subject and at every level should place a high priority on it for all
students.

7. Use a team approach:
The collaborative nature of scientific and technological
work should be strongly reinforced by frequent group
activity in the classroom.
Do not separate knowing from finding
out
teachers should help students to acquire both scientific
knowledge of the world and scientific habits of mind at
the same time.
De-emphasize memorization of
Technical Vocabulary
Understanding rather than vocabulary should be the
main purpose of science teaching. However,
unambiguous terminology is also important in
scientific communication and—ultimately—for
understanding. Some technical terms are therefore
helpful for everyone, but the number of essential
ones is relatively small.

8. Outcome of effective Learning:
Effective learning involves outcomes such as: -
 More connected knowledge
 Wider range of strategies
 Greater complexity of understanding
 Enhanced action appropriate to goals and context
 Increased engagement and self-direction
 More reflective approach
 More positive emotions and affiliation to learning
 More developed vision of future self as a learner
 Greater facility in learning with others
 More sense of participation in a knowledge community
