“The participating teachers will be sent some of the past problems in theory and experiments,” informed Dr. Rajeev K. Doley, chairperson, Media Cell, Tezpur University.
Each participant is expected to study the problems beforehand.
During the camp, there would be discussions on teachers’ reflections on the problem solving process.
“There would be a special emphasis on how experiments can be modified differently to achieve greater learning for students, without actually increasing the material requirements,” said Dr Doley.
TA/DA will be provided for the camp.
Interested teachers can apply by visiting the Department of Chemical Sciences webpage (http://www.tezu.ernet.in/dcs/index.html).
