My reflection on experience as a Physical Science teacher during internship

REFLECTION OF MY EXPERIENCE AS A PHYSICAL SCIENCE TEACHER DURING INTERNSHIP

 

As a part of our BEd curriculum, I did my school internship training at Nirmala Higher Secondary School, Aluva on 24 August 2020 to 15 December 2020.The period of internship was an extremely good memory for me.Due to Covid-19 pandemic situation, the classes were taken via online platform.The online platforms helped me to know about new technologies used in the educational field.The class given for me was 9 C and the subject allotted was Physics. The classes were provided in video form.For taking classes, I used to record video and send it to my mentor.Mentor used to evaluate the video, after making necessary corrections, it was she who used to forward it to students.I completed four chapters from the Physics text with in the allotted time.I took classes on 50 lesson plans, value education, LAC, Physical Education, classes on several artforms etc….

                                         More than academic classes, I took value education, which is necessary to develop social values among students. 

We formed a subject club and two activities were done on behalf of that.Action research were conducted among students based in online learning problems.A case study was conducted among students based on the online learning problems experienced by students during online classes.Self assessment tool was done in order to assess myself as a teacher.Learning of students were measured using Achievement Test and Diagnostic Test was also conducted.Most of the children performed well in the tests.After analysing the exam papers, I revised the chapters once again so that students can understand the topic well.

                                         It was an interesting experience as a teacher trainee because I could understand my strengths and weaknesses as a teacher.Since the classes were taken through an online platform, I could understand more about new technology in teaching.
