Project method

Teaching of Biological concepts

The 'Project method' of teaching is one of the oldest and most popular educational views of John Dewey-practiced worldwide in various subjects. However, the initial implementation of this method in developing countries like India had not been successful. But today, it is attracting youth and the modern society to adopt a student centered method of education. In India, Jawahar Navodaya schools and Kendriya Vidyalaya Sadans have been implementing the same as a part of their curriculum for years, which is amply documented. The present study has made an attempt to learn the application of project method in teaching biological science concepts viz., chemical stimuli on the sensitivity of Mimosa pudica.The findings from this experimentation are discussed.
