Integration of laboratory work with classroom


The present scenario shows that teaching is continued with the traditional
approach. i.e delivery of lecture in large classrooms. The approach includes chalk-
and-talk or pen-and paper teaching. There is need for transformation in such
teaching methods to emphasize relevance and problem-solving approach. In
traditional classes, where courses are taught with lectures, the students are
passive and transfer of knowledge cannot be guaranteed.

We generally teach science lessons with verbal expressions. One of the main
objectives of science teaching is to train individuals who will be able to adapt
rapidly changing and developing age and benefit from the latest technological
innovations. Teachers have great responsibilities to reach this goal. Teacher serve
te role of a guide that shares the importance of science teaching and the
