Its drama time...

 

പണം പണമായി വളരും

As a teacher trainee, participating in a drama based on simple and compound interest as part of the B.Ed. curriculum was a unique and enriching experience. The activity combined creativity with education, making a complex mathematical concept more engaging and easier to understand. Through dramatization, we transformed an abstract topic into a relatable and interactive learning experience for students.

Our drama was structured as a real-life scenario in which characters played roles such as family members and a banker. The script highlighted everyday financial situations where simple and compound interest are applied, such as bank loans, savings accounts, and business investments. By portraying these situations in a dramatic and humorous way, we made the topic more accessible and enjoyable for students.

One of the key takeaways from this experience was the effectiveness of dramatization in teaching mathematical concepts. The students were more engaged, and retained the information better compared to traditional lecture methods. It also helped develop our teaching skills, including communication, creativity, and classroom management.

Additionally, the drama boosted our confidence as future educators, reinforcing the idea that learning can be fun and interactive. It also emphasized the importance of using innovative teaching techniques to cater to different learning styles.

Overall, this experience not only deepened our understanding of simple and compound interest but also highlighted the power of dramatization as a teaching tool. The drama-based learning approach proved to be an effective pedagogical tool that not only enriched our understanding of the subject but also showcased the impact of experiential learning in education. This experience has inspired us to incorporate dramatization and other creative techniques in our future teaching practices to make learning more dynamic and meaningful for students. It was very much fun altogether.
