14.02.2022 FISHBOWL TEACHING STRATEGY FOR B.ED I YEAR STUDENTS

The Fishbowl teaching strategy is a kind of Active learning technique used to facilitate discussion over any interesting topic so that students are able to engage in discussion and active participation. 

The Fishbowl teaching strategy provides an opportunity for the students to raise their voices and enhance active listening to others' opinion.

Students were divided in to two groups where Group I and Group II  are given topic for discussion by the Staff. 

 

Group I was placed in the inner circle, who is called fish, and they are instructed to hold a discussion with the representative members of the group. Group II was placed in the outer circle and asked to observe the discussion of group I who called fish watchers. Fish watchers were instructed to  listen carefully  to their  fish and take notes on the discussion of Group I.  The same activity will be reversed later.

During the discussion,  the teacher guided and moderated the discussion. Any student from each group was  asked to  report about the active participation of  the other  group in discussion to  the staff.  

The fish Bowl discussion session covered 45 minutes.  At the end of the discussions both groups,  feedback has been orally heard from all students. All participating students and students' audience were satisfied and revealed they engaged in meaningful learning. 

04.03.2022 Panel discussion by M.Ed II year on Indian and Western Philosophers

The panel discussion has been conducted for M.Ed I year students on 04.03.2022  on the topic ‘Indian and Western Philosophers’ in the first semester.  Before the panel discussion started, each student was given a topic to share their views on.

The panel discussion was led by the respective Staff who moderated the arguments of students on the ideas of philosophers and their contribution to Education.  A panel discussion is an eccentric approach to getting students involved in important discussions. The M.Ed. students participated as panelists, holding conversations about a topic from a different perspective.  Students had the chance to ponder and practice critical thinking while listening to other points of view during the panel discussion.

 This teaching strategy especially increases the chances for the students to boost their self-confidence, communication, and presentation skills.
