TEACHING STRATEGY: MODELS OF TEACHING(COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INDUCTIVE THINKING MODEL AND CONVENTIONAL METHOD)

The aim of teaching is to bring about the desirable behavioral changes among pupils.
Teaching is thus most difficult task and everybody is not fit to be teacher. Some persons may have
natural talent for teaching and such persons have the ability to awaken interest and arrest the
attention of the students. Some others who are not so fortunate can improve their teaching through
practice if they are fully acquainted with various methods of teaching. In order to make children
learn effectively, the teacher has to adopt the right method of teaching.
The present study describes the experimental study of comparative effectiveness of
Inductive Thinking Model and conventional method of teaching in terms of student’s achievement.
The post test only equivalent group design was used. Two groups of class XI were randomly
selected as experimental group ‘E’ and control group ‘C’. Initially the groups were made
equivalent by administering, general mental ability test developed by Dr. Ahuja G.C. and previous
scholastic achievement test developed by researcher. Specific units in physics of class XI were
selected for the study. At the end, a comprehensive post test developed by researcher wereadministered on both groups. Taking the results into consideration, it was found that the model
under consideration have a positive effect on the experimental group.
