Constructing Concepts with Collaboration – Day 4 Highlights on Triangles and Quadrilaterals

Criticism Phase -II Day IV

Day IV of Criticism featured insightful peer-led sessions that highlighted the use of constructivist strategies in Mathematics. Sherin presented a lesson on Types of Triangles using the Constructivist Model, engaging students through group activities, hands-on classification, and reflective discussions. Her approach encouraged learners to build their own understanding through observation and collaboration.

Shymol followed with a Constructivist Model lesson on Types of Quadrilaterals, where she effectively used guided discovery and peer interaction to help students explore and differentiate various quadrilaterals. As peers, we observed both lessons with interest and appreciated the interactive learning atmosphere they created. Constructive feedback was shared on aspects like better time allocation and enhancing the use of visual aids for conceptual clarity.

Blending Inquiry and Interaction – Day 3 of Criticism Showcases Scientific Exploration Through Varied Models

CRITICISM PHASE - II DAY -III

On the third day of Criticism, Athira presented a well-structured Inductive Thinking Model (ITM) lesson on the Volume of a Prism, guiding students through observation, pattern recognition, and generalisation to derive the volume formula. Fejina followed with a Constructivist Model lesson on Probability, where students explored concepts through hands-on activities and collaborative learning. As peers, we observed both sessions, appreciating the interactive strategies and offering feedback on classroom management and visual representation.

As students of the Physical Science Department, we attended Asiya’s ITM lesson on the Concave Mirror, where she effectively led students from specific examples to general principles. Jeeja's 5E Model session on Static Electricity was engaging, with a clear flow through all five phases—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. From the Natural Science Department, Fathima’s ITM lesson on Muscle Fatigue and Feba’s ITM lesson on Viruses stood out for their structured delivery and scientific accuracy. The day offered diverse teaching approaches that enhanced our understanding and gave us a platform to reflect on best practices in science pedagogy.

Diverse Models, Deeper Insights – Day 2 of Criticism Showcases Innovative Teaching Approaches

CRITICISM PHASE - II DAY II

On the second day of Criticism, Anjana presented a lesson using the Inductive Thinking Model (ITM) on the Lateral Surface Area of a Cylinder. Her lesson was structured with clear steps of observation, classification, and generalisation, helping students arrive at the formula through guided inquiry. Ansha followed with a Concept Attainment Model (CAM) lesson on Prisms, where examples and non-examples were used effectively to help students identify the defining features of prisms. As peers, we observed their teaching techniques, noted strengths in content delivery and interaction, and provided suggestions such as enhancing visual aids and improving board clarity.

As Physical Science students, we also attended Adithya’s lesson using the 5E Model on Carbon’s Structure, and Alfy’s Inductive Thinking Model (ITM) session on the Convex Mirror. Adithya's class effectively combined explanation with visuals, making abstract chemical structures more accessible. Alfy’s lesson guided students from specific cases to general rules related to convex mirrors, encouraging logical reasoning. As participants, we appreciated the engaging approach and identified areas for refinement, such as pace control and reinforcement of key points. The day provided a rich opportunity to observe diverse models in action and reflect on effective teaching strategies.

Green Steps for a Better Tomorrow

Environmental Day Celebration 2025

The Environmental Day celebration at BMM II Training College was held with great enthusiasm under the coordination of the Natural Science and Physical Science Departments. The event was graced by the presence of esteemed dignitaries including former Principal Riju John, Manager Rev. Fr. Simon Lukose, Staff Advisor Mrs. Sheeja Chacko, Physical Science faculty Mrs. Smitha, and Natural Science teacher Dr. Praveena, who together occupied the dais. 

As a symbol of sustainability and commitment to nature, a mango tree was

planted within the campus premises. The celebration also featured vibrant intercollegiate competitions such as a poster-making contest and a puzzle game hosted by the Physical Science Department, where the English Department secured the first prize and Mathematics came second. A quiz competition added to the spirit of the day, with the Mathematics Department winning first place and Social Science taking the second. The celebrations started with these engaging programmes in the afternoon, emphasizing the importance of environmental awareness and collective responsibility.

Exploring Triangles Through Concept Attainment Model

Criticism Phase -II Day -I 

On Criticism Day I, Akhila presented a lesson using the Concept Attainment Model on the topic Isosceles Triangles. The class was organized through the three key phases: presentation of data and identification of the concept, testing the attainment of the concept, and analysis of thinking strategies. The session was engaging and effectively guided students in identifying the concept through examples and non-examples. Akhila’s classroom management and clarity of content were commendable. As observers, we were actively involved in evaluating the session and giving constructive feedback on areas such as better pacing of activities and clearer distinction between positive and negative examples. Overall, it was a well-structured and interactive class that demonstrated the thoughtful application of the Concept Attainment Model.

Warm Welcome to Our New Leaders

 Welcoming Our Principal and Manager

On 2nd June 2025, Baselios Marthoma Mathews II Training College warmly welcomed its new Principal, Dr. K. Y. Benedict, and the newly appointed Manager, Rev. Fr. Simon Lukose. The occasion marked a significant moment for the institution as both leaders bring with them a wealth of experience and vision for academic and administrative excellence. A short gathering was organized to honor their arrival, where staff and students extended their heartfelt greetings and expressed their hopes for a fruitful journey ahead under their leadership. The event set a positive tone for the upcoming academic year.
