The purpose of this research aims to develop teaching methodology of pedagogical students through small-group teaching practice in group of 4-5 students. All activities that have been conducted by researching the lesson to advance the teaching method of students are: (1) setting goals: identify specific student needs and formulate curricular goals, (2) plans: develop lesson plans; devise data  -collection strategies; rationalize the approach; anticipate students’ responses, (3) implementation: one or two members of the team teach the public lessons in high schools where students from University of Education have placement learning, while other members observe  and collect data, such as video documentation and working samples, (4) debrief: analyze collected data; discuss about students’ learning, teachers’ teaching, relative pedagogical content learning. We used Kobo software and Maastricht-Peer Activity Rating  Scale in order to observe and evaluate the teaching  –  learning activities in small group of students. The results show that using reflection thinking while teaching by small group would help students to improve their teaching methods more efficiently.

Majority of the students opted for the best method for online teaching was recorded video or voice over PPT’S are the best option than the online streaming classes. Finally the students have opted for Traditional teaching like chalk & talk fallowed by PPT Presentation. Gross anatomy was mainly learned by the dissections involved by the students and faculty side by side. Histology was mainly learned by spending the more time on the microscope & involved in small group teaching. Embryology was mainly understood by small group teaching with the help of 3D models. Conclusion: The study concluded that the chalk and talk teaching fallowed by PPT’S, dissection by the students along with the faculty and spending more time on the microscope with small group teaching were the best methods to approach the anatomy subject. KEY WORDS: Students perception, Anatomy teaching learning methods, online and offline, chalk & talk, dissection.

Five recently published methods for conducting cooperative small-group learning in the classroom, and the experimental studies conducted by the authors of these methods are examined, evaluated, and compared in this study. The five methods are: Aronson’s Jigsaw classroom, DeVries’ Teams-Games-Tournaments (TGT), Slavin’s Student Teams and Academic Divisions (STAD), the Johnsons’ cooperative learning approach, and the Sharans’ Small-group Teaching method. The former three methods are categorized as Peer-Tutoring methods, while the latter two are classified as examples of a Group-Investigation (G-I) approach. Findings are considered from experimental studies with these five methods, in terms of their differential effects on academic achievement, students’ attitudes, and on ethnic relations in desegregated classrooms. The implications of the distinction between Peer-Tutoring and G-I methods are explored. New directions for research are suggested with these cooperative small-group techniques which appear to exert noteworthy effects on a variety of cognitive and social-affective variables.

This paper is based on an exploration of the ways in which primary science student teachers recognize and learn about issues that shape their own professional learning. The paper discusses different perspectives of “knowledgebase needed for teaching” and Shulman’s concept of pedagogical content knowledge, and explores how elements of knowledge are to be recognized and further developed within primary teacher education. Primary science student teacher participants (n = 25) were stimulated to use portfolios as a tool to reflect upon situations within their six weeks teaching practice in pre- and primary schools in order to facilitate recognizing their knowledge needs. The results give an insight into what situations within the teaching practice that student teachers consider as important for their own learning to teach primary maths and science.

Background: Improved teaching methodology is prerequisite for education systems so that students learn effectively. The present study was done with the objectives of evaluation of different teaching-learning methods according to students’ preference and perception.Methods: It was observational, non-interventional questionnaire based study. Total 100 students were selected randomly from second MBBS as participants of it. They filled questionnaires with 11 questions, by selecting appropriate options.Results: All students were interested in Pharmacology. Cardio-Vascular System and autocoids were the most interesting topics according to 40% of students. Total 53% of students preferred combination of chalk and board with PowerPoint presentation for understanding, while chalk and board alone (65%) as more interactive teaching method. Total 80% of students preferred interactive lecture session. Clinical case/bed side study was preferred by 89% of students. Total 40% of students preferred combination of teachers’ note and standard textbooks as reading materials. Total 80% of students mentioned that revision at the end of lecture is necessary. One and half year as ideal time to learn second MBBS, has been selected by 60% of students. Teaching with more clinical orientation is one of the changes suggested by 28% of students.Conclusions: Combination of traditional chalk and board method with modern powerpoint method, wherever necessary, is ideal for interactive and understandable lecture session. Integration/correlation of clinical cases with clinical Pharmacology will be more helpful in understanding and learning. Proper and effective management of time is essential for maximum utilization of MBBS duration with optimum output for students.

Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) can be a transformative teaching methodology that supports a dialogical learning atmosphere that can transcend the traditional classroom and inspire excellence in students by linking real life experiences with the curriculum. It supports a sense of inquiry that incorporates both experiential learning and the development of critical thinking skills. Incorporating active learning strategies in a way that transcends the classroom and sparks interest and passion for students is an important pedagogical ingredient for educators. The key question driving this study is how can CPS as a teaching method be used to motivate students and engage them in a process of active learning within the context of a social policy course? This study examines student engagement and motivation in a problem-centred approach to teaching and learning, and provides a concrete example of a CPS exercise couched in small group facilitations to support peer learning.
