CET coaching in Bidar
It was a welcome break from convention. Students in Bidar got a taste of animation-based teaching, to help them perform better in the Common Entrance Test for admission to professional courses. The programme laid emphasis on “giving students a real picture of things which they study.”
An initiative of the management of Shaheen PU College, the power-point presentation was conducted by Roshan F., Vice-Chairman of the Karnataka Medical Research Foundation, based in Bangalore.
Good presentation
Using animation, students were shown the functioning of the heart — pumping blood, accumulation of cholesterol, flow of blood from the valves and other functions. In the traditional method of teaching, teachers write on a black board and students do not have a proper idea of the subject.
Similarly, students of pre-university were given an insight into the formation of embryo in the womb and various stages of child development. The topics selected for the presentation were zoology, general biology, human reproduction and bio-diversity.
Water conservation, pollution, effects of bomb explosion on nature, human physiology, nervous system and other topics were also explained to the students at the programme.
Abdul Qadeer, organiser and secretary of Shaheen PU College, said the exercise “was to make students experience things before they gain admission to medical course.”
Lasting impression
Prof. Roshan said that “subjects supported with animation leave a lasting impression on the minds of the students and certain topics could be shown to students through repetition. It is nothing but making students see things in real. Visuals supported with lecture made teaching stronger.”
Each session was followed by an interactive session.
