The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to hold online training sessions for teachers. This training will be provided to them for alternative activities developed by the board for classes 9-12 practical work.
To improve the outcome-based learning, the students can do experiments at their homes by using simple household materials.
The board is introducing alternative measures to deal with the academic loss and address the issues that emerged with lack of interactions caused due to Covid 19 lockdown.
These online training sessions will be for one hour and there will not be any participation fee. The CBSE will also issue e-certificate to the students.
The board said, “These hands-on activities are accompanied by step-by-step guides, videos, and worksheets for students to record observations. A list of material needed for each experiment, together with alternatives have also been included in the content package to facilitate the learners.” All science teachers need to participate in the training process.
“While the activities and materials have been chosen to be safe for learners to do on their own, teachers are required to review these before assigning them and advise parents if supervision is required for any specific activity,” the board said.
