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.
