Analogy as a Child Centric Approach to Teach: As Seen by a High School Teacher
Chowdhury, Pinaki
European Journal of Educational Sciences, v2 n3 p1-8 Sep 2015
The scarcity of trained man power in the field of science and technology has become a growing phenomenon today. Thus, we are still facing the same challenge country wide. With the multidimensional increase in the field of science and technology, there is a huge shortage of expert workforce in the field of STEM. The numbers of students who qualify for admission into higher educational institution in STEM field is less than required. Our old age school systems from our country sides have failed to fulfill the need of this time. In addition, most rural schools lack basic facilities in terms of the resources required for better learning. Therefore, the author suggests the use of analogy as a powerful tool for a child centric education in rural schools with less resource.
