The document discusses the role of heuristic method in science classes. It notes that the heuristic method allows students to discover knowledge through experiments rather than lectures. Students struggle with concepts like researchers. This practical, hands-on learning helps develop scientific attitudes and research skills. The study aims to understand the effectiveness of the heuristic method compared to traditional lecture-based methods. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 20 students on their experiences learning science through different methods like experiments, lectures, textbooks and role-plays. The findings suggest most students prefer learning by doing experiments, which provide permanent and lasting knowledge compared to lectures or textbooks. The heuristic method helps develop curiosity, scientific attitudes, and research skills in a challenging way.

- 2. A STUDY ON THE ROLE OF HEURISTIC METHOD IN THE PRESENT DAY SCIENCE CLASS
- 3. CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION Heuristic method is a learning method in which the learner invents or discovers items of knowledge. The learner struggles with the item of knowledge just like a researcher. under this method the pupils are led to discover the facts for themselves with the help of experiments. This practical knowledge is permanent than lecture method. Through the heuristic method we can improve the research skills of the pupils and develops scientific attitude in students. Science is a practical subject. So the heuristic method is very applicable in the science class while applying this method in a science classes all the learners in a class may be set to work at the same problem simultaneously. There the pupils get an opportunity to find the fact behind the experiment through their own experience. This method help to develop curiosity in child led to new discoveries in heuristic method the teacher act as guide
- 4. NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE The study is used to find out the role of heuristic method in present day science class. The knowledge gain through the experiments are effective than the knowledge gain through the lecture method. Science is not a thing to be talked about but a practical subject. So the heuristic method is needed in the present day science class. The heuristic method is significant develop scientific attitude and research skill in pupil it also very useful in the development of enquiry and discovery mind of the pupil. Through the experiment learner are guided to observe facts correctly, to systematize the knowledge learnt and to arrive at generalizations.
- 5. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study has been entitled as ‘A STUDY ON THE ROLE OF HEURISTIC METHOD IN THE PRESENT DAY SCIENCE CLASS OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To find out the role of heuristic method in science class. To understand the effectiveness of heuristic method.
- 6. SCOPE AND LIMITATION Heuristic method has wide scope using this method. The students get opportunity to spirit of enquiry and discovery. It develops research skills in the pupils and the students struggle with item of knowledge just like a researcher. The knowledge acquired by the experiment are lasting and permanent The method has same limitation .here teacher is act as just only a guide, some experiments are dangerous. So it create dangerous situation.
- 7. CHAPTER-II METHODOLOGY Methodology refers to the use of different kinds of method undertake a study. METHOD USED FOR THE STUDY For the present study the investigator has use the survey method TOOL USED FOR THE STUDY The tool used for the study is questionnaire SAMPLE USED FOR THE STUDY The sample used for the study is 20 students of M.S.M.H.S.S Kayamkulam.
- 8. CHAPTER-III ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION The teaching learning process takes place with the help of different methods like experiments, lecture method, excursion text book, and role play Methods of learning experiments lecturing percentage 96% 75% excursion Text book Role play 92% 70% 80%

Most of the students are like excursion and experiment. 80% of students like role play. excussion text book role play by text
- 10. CHAPTER-IV FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION The study is used to kind out the role of effective heuristic method in present day science class. Most of the children’s are interested to learn from the experiments and role play because knowledge gains from these methods permanent and lasting. The bookish knowledge is second hand and easily forgotten The experiment help them student to understand the facts behind the experiment and develop scientific attitude. Spirit of enquiry and discovery it also develop research skills.

Do you like to learn through experiment? 3. Are the experiments are helpful than text book? 4. Do you think the experiments help to develop scientific attitude? 5. Did you conduct any role play based on your chapters? 6. Through the experiments did you get opportunity to reveal your talents? 7. Does the experiment develop any skill in you? 8. Do you think lecture method is no effective way of learning?
- 12. 9. Do you think knowledge gain from the experiment is permanent? 10. Do you think heuristic method is better than the lecture method? 11. In learning by doing did you get opportunity to initiate your own learning? 12. In your school did your teachers conduct any science exhibition with the help of students? 13. Do you think heuristic method is dangerous method? 14. Do you think heuristic method helps clarity your questions? 15. Do you think heuristic method is challenging?
