Research Paper EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES IN TEACHING OF PHYSICS AT THE HIGHER SECONDARY LEVEL IN WEST BENGAL NA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract: Science is a common part in the curriculum of school education and it is also subdivided into many wings of science such as physics, chemistry, Bio-science and soon after the secondary level of school education of the Bengali medium students in West Bengal. The present study is based on the effective teaching strategies followed by the school teachers at the higher Secondary level for specifically teaching of the subject physics. The study will try to investigate the strategies and their fruitfulness in relation to the stakeholders (learners).
Keywords: Science, Teaching strategies, stakeholders.
