A STUDY OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE CONCEPTS OF STUDENTS AT SENIOR SECONDARY LEVEL

Abstract

The secondary education commission (1952-1953) has recommended that every secondary school student should study general science as a compulsory subject. So that they can gain a basic quantum of scientific knowledge as a part of his general education.The study of science has its special importance both in the personal and social life of any individual. It is not only the joy and bliss obtained from successful investigation of scientific problems but it also provides self confidence and insight for solving problems faced in life. The teaching learning process plays a vital role for solving any problem. This process is an interaction between teachers and learners. Whose some behavioral changes are produced as a result of their mutual understanding and transmission. When a learner wants to learn to solve any problem, he sometimes feels it rather difficult to do so, i.e. to find the solution of the method of solving it or to evaluate the behavior by him. The steps of teaching learning includes three way communication which is the principle function in effective teaching learning process i.e. communication from teacher to learner and from learner to teacher and again from teacher to learner. Through this three way communication, the teacher could know how his learning is effective and suitable to the learner, and could direct his course of teaching correctly.
