Dear all,
PFA
(I have included Uma's number too)
We can use some portions from this invitation in the formal letters to be
sent to different departments and institutes.
I will try to ask Junuka to translate the invitation into Marathi by
tonight.
A tentative list of sessions (also attached as a PDF file):
Hands-on science sessions
Magnets Separation Our Food
Sound Our Soil Our Crops-1
Games with Air Internal organs of our body and their functions - 2
Light Our Crops-2
Looking at the Skies
Machines
Other sessions
Why Hands-on Science?
Sensitisation on children's issues and tribal issues
Pedagogy - other approaches
Assessment - moving beyond memory-based exams to testing analytical
abilities & observations
Scientific Temper & Rational outlook
Importance of context in learning science - Context gives Content
The role of observing in teaching and learning science
Arvind advised that we should not stress too much on the fact that these
are Bal Vaigyanik chapters. The Textbook Corporation from Pune (Balbharati)
should not be get alarmed and create problems. So the formal list of
sessions will not mention that these are Bal Vaigyanik chapters - but it
will be only a list of topics.
Finally, after all the translations are done, obviously Bal Vaigyanik
Marathi will be out there!
We need to work on conceptualising sessions and to decide their
appropriateness or to include other relevant sessions. Also map members of
the resource team to the sessions:
