The main purpose behind including science subject in syllabus is to make students aware of the presence of science in day-to-day occurrences and mould a science-oriented society by inculcating scientific thinking process and scientific attitude in students. For that purpose, science teaching should be done according to the principle of 'learning by doing' method. In the current system of learning – teaching, emphasis is given on traditional method of learning – teaching, which makes it difficult for the teacher to evaluate whether all the students have grasped the knowledge, understanding and application aspects of the subject. More so, students find it tough to visualize tough and abstract concepts of the subject which begins to create dislike for the subject of science in the minds of the students. As a result, students resort to the method of learning by heart (rote method), which ultimately affects the purpose of science teaching. Hence, in this paper, through the medium of innovative science clinic, attempt is made to fulfill the purpose of science teaching by way of understanding and application of science factors. | | Keywords : | | |
