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.
