About the Workshop
The workshops conducted by Education Resource Centre are different from the conventional workshops. These workshops do not claim to solve all the problems faced by the teachers. Their aim is to help the teachers to solve their problems themselves. These workshops try to change the thinking process of the teachers and at the same time help them become confident enough to explore new topics. The participants are asked to work in groups to work on a series of questions. Thus enabling them to share their views in a group and convince the group members about their view point. The main emphasis of this workshop was on Maths and Science topics of upper primary level. The sessions on mathematics were conducted by Dr. H.K.Dewan. The sessions on Science were conducted by Mr. Kamal Mahendroo. Dr. Neeti Misra took sessions related to the chemistry topics and Mr. K.R. Sharma took laboratory sessions on biology. Ms. Preeti conducted a session on Mathsie, a maths activity for school childres.
