- 3. Hand book A handbook is a type of reference work, or other collection of instructions, that is intended to provide ready reference. A handbook is a treatise on a special subject. A handbook is sometimes referred to as a vade mecum (Latin, "go with me") or pocket reference that is intended to be carried at all times. It may also be referred to as an enchiridion. Handbooks may deal with any topic, and are generally compendiums of information in a particular field or about a particular technique. Now a day’s handbook is often a simple but all-embracing treatment, containing concise information and being small enough to be held in the hand. Teacher’s Handbook is an excellent reference material for teachers for effective science teaching. In our state, it is prepared by the SCERT along with text books prepared by them. It contains summaries of chapters in the science text books, conceptual development of each topic, list of instructional objectives and specifications, explanation of significant technical terms, learning activities, precautions to be taken while attempting demonstration, teaching aids to be used, assignments of various kinds, evaluation tools, co-curricular activities that can be organized, seminars, projects, etc. to be organized and suggested references for teachers and pupils. In short, teacher’s hand book is a resource material for teachers. ADVANTAGES:- It equips the teacher with sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical suggestions of what is to be taught. It provides suitable learning experiences for different instructional situations It helps teachers to adopt appropriate methods and approaches of teaching It helps the teacher prepare various instructional materials It helps the teacher evaluate learning using relevant and standard tools of evaluation
- 4. WORK BOOK Science work book is an adjunct to science text book. For effective learning, pupils should have opportunities for practicing what they have learnt. Pupil’s work book in fact a practice material for pupils, the content of which is arranged in the order of the text book on which it is based. A work book contains summary of each chapter of the text book, exercises of different kinds, key to exercises and suggestions for practicals, assignments and improvisation. ADVANTAGES:- Work book supplements classroom learning It promotes self-learning and self-assessment It provides for working out different types of assignments It gives practice of classroom learning and thereby reinforces learning It promotes scientific thinking Reference BOOK A reference work is a book or serial publication to which one can refer for confirmed facts. The information is intended to be found quickly when needed. Reference works are usually referred to for particular pieces of information, rather than read beginning to end. The writing style used in these works is informative; the authors avoid use of the first person, and emphasize facts. Many reference works are compiled by a team of contributors whose work is coordinated by one or more editors rather than by an individual author. Indexes are commonly provided in many types of reference work.
- 5. Reference works include dictionaries, thesauruses, encyclopedias, almanacs, bibliographies, and catalogs, year books, atlases, maps, charts, pamphlets, manuals, syllabi of different classes etc. Many reference works are available in electronic form. In comparison, a reference book or reference-only book in a library is one that may only be used in the library and not borrowed from the library. Many such books are reference works which are usually used only briefly or photocopied from, and therefore do not need to be borrowed. Keeping them in the library assures that they will always be available for use on demand. Other reference-only books are books that are too valuable to permit borrowers to take them out. Reference-only items may be shelved in a reference collection located separately from circulating items. In science education the reference books plays a vital role. Availability of the reference materials enhance the learning procedure of students REFERENCES:- 1. SCIENCE EDUCATION: METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING AND PEDAGOGIC ANALYSIS- Dr. K.
