Indian Institute of Science Centre for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education (Under Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching) Indian Institute of Science Challakere campus Chitradurga Dist., Karnataka

What was proposed under PMMMNMTT Centre of Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education Training Science and Mathematics Teachers in UG colleges in addition to those from High School and Pre-university colleges Retain the emphasis on “Learning through experiments” Establish Pedagogic norms for different levels Scope for design of experiments/ new instructional practices Four Levels of Teachers in Science Basic Sciences P C M B High School Science and Maths teachers (PCB, CBZ, BSc ) PU college PG teachers: P C M B (MSc) 3. BSc Degree College Teachers: P C M B (MSc) 4. University PG Teachers P C M B (Ph D)

Salient Features of Training Curriculum based on what the trainees are expected to teach Key lectures by specialists ( blackboard based) Relate theoretical concepts to standard/newly designed experiments Make every trainee conduct experiments and monitor [ eg., High School (10 days): Science - about 50 experiments each in P,C and B and Mathematics - 6 Assignments 240 Problems] Inculcate the spirit of recording observations and reporting honestly Identify the weaker ones/ clarify their doubts Assess the impact of training and acknowledge their attainment
