Science lesson with ICT Integration: (Reflection)
Science lesson with ICT Integration: (Reflection)
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have gained a swift momentum on teachers and students teaching learning process and has provided a significant research area for many scholars in and around the world. ICT has significantly changed the face of education. Thus Bhutanese educational system has entered in the early phase of Information and Communication Technologies adoption.
The lesson I taught was on “Separating Mixture” (Miscible and Immiscible liquids) in class VI. On 9th August 2021, I taught the topic through ICT facilities. While through the lesson, I have used video tutorial and PowerPoint presentation form my side. On the other hand, I too made students to explore themselves and prepare their own group PowerPoint presentation and get feedbacks from their friends and teachers.
Till date though I used ICT in my lesson, it has very limited opportunities for students to use hand on experience as the presentations and videos were mostly prepared by myself as teacher centered but this time I made students to have hand on experience to use the facilities to innovate and share within themselves. So after having used two different modalities, I would like to reflect on the achievements and draw backs for future reference.
While through student centered ICT integrated teaching-learning process, students were found very active and energetic throughout the lesson. They are overwhelmed when they see their own Power Point presentation and they too feels that they were doing small research in their own way while they were doing Google search. It also made them to have extensive discussion on a question as they finds lots of related responses by different authors. Further, while we were using Wechat (through mobile) to share the information that each group has noted with others and started commenting, students were very active to read and comment which made them to learn better. They too realized that mobile phones were not just to call and chat but can be used for good purposes of teaching and learning process. They promised to use for such activities here after.
The classroom was lively as students completely engaged in searching for the lesson concept in gist. Usually, I had to use energizer clips in between the lesson to break boredom to increase the learning efficiency but in this lesson it was out of the scene.
But despite having uncountable benefits of ICT in teaching learning process that can be done through mobile, the policy of not letting students to bring and use mobile phones in the schools is the big issues. Therefore, I would like to recommend to our educational stake holders to look into the matter for the wellbeing of our students to have better learning.

ReplyDeleteSir, your ICT integrated lesson seems very interesting with lessons delivered with PPT and video. Moreover, you have used so much of experiments which further helped in activating the concept to the students.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've put a lot of work into this, keep going. the most interesting part in your lesson was when you made children explore by themselves whereby they learn more and keep themselves engaged. You've really been paying attention for children's learning. cheers!
