As a part of B. Ed. curriculum, in the 3rd semester of our, course we were sent to different schools for the school internship program. I was sent to St. Mary's Girls High School, Athirampuzha. I was assigned the standards 9A, 9E, 8B, 8C and 8D there.
I had to take 50 lesson plans on physics and chemistry. I got the chapters "work energy power", "gravitation" and "current electricity" in standard 9, "water", "metals",solutions" and "polymer" and "magnetism" in standard 8. I preand the lesson plan according to the learning objectives. I divided these chapters in to 50 lesson plans. Ichoose group activities, demonstration and group discussion as learning strategies. A plenty of activities were included in the lesson plans.
This time I wasn't tensed. I was able to manage the class very well and the concepts were conveyed clearly to the students. To make the class more interesting, I have included activities during the class and students actively participated in those activities. Especially the demonstration classes helped a lot to gain their interest in learning.
Sometimes my confidence level getting lowed because of my lack of communication skill. My fluency in English was not good. I think I had to improve it only through constant practice. However, I try to do my level best in all classes that I take.
The training period gave me good experience as a physical science teacher. I enjoyed these 4 months of training and improved a lot as a good teacher. It, gave me an opportunity to improve my teaching skills. My mentors of that particular institution showed their heartfelt support throughout my training period. It helped me to become a good teacher and a good person too.
Through this internship program, I reflected on my own teaching and realized my strengths and weaknesses. It also paved the way to become a professionally successful physical science teachers.
