Reflection-Learning launch

Challenge   A concept for an interactive session where students involve in active participation and become active  learners. The concept on with a teacher role as a facilitator rather than a tutor bombarding lecture on  the students. A teacher should help the students to learn on themselves. And students are bored when  teacher goes on lecturing. Students become passive learners. When students learn on their own on  prompt from the teachers, there would be reinforcement and sense of discovery from the students  itself.    Selection of tool for approach    There are many tools to develop, among them mind mapping tool would build knowledge on interaction  and enhances active learning on cooperation and collaboration if done in the class room. It would be  imagined that a practical session held on experimental mode would prove the tool of mind mapping.  The students on categorization to groups and on when each student of that group, given different notes  and pictures to paste on the flip chart. The students would get separated on their individual concepts  and join with the students of similar concept and discuss among themselves about the pictures given to  them. In this case, there were three groups of students. In each group, a carnivorous animal picture, a  herbivorous animal picture and an omnivorous were given. When they got separated students having  similar examples of animals category got joined.    Application   Students of similar category went and pasted one after other and pasted in a separate category under  the heading categories of animals. So they had three different associations now. They were further  prompted to place similar examples under different categories. In this case the students came with  more examples to categorize them. Thus they developed associations. Then they were asked to  brainstorm to find their categories. Further they were prompted to categorize them under wild animals  and domestic animals and further to mammals, reptiles, birds etc.. through associations on brain  storming exercises.    Insight of discovery of self satisfaction  Now the students came with answers. The categories of the students were asked to share knowledge to  their individual groups. Each student of that group had a different concept to share. Now one after  other they expressed their views on different concepts. So they shared knowledge on collaboration and  cooperation. The flip chart now had various associations to see. This is in fact done by students on their  own. Thus they enhanced knowledge through active participation. They had more interest to learn  things on their own. They felt it has a sense of discovery.    Pattern practice for organizing the idea  Based on the same pattern practice for example, teachers of English were asked to develop a mind  mapping by the students to show associations of words and phrases to sentences and sentences to  different types on their function and structure and categorization of clauses on associations based.    Generalization of the idea    I t was practically believed by the teaching fraternity and administration that mind mapping tool would  enhance interactive and active learning on the part of the students.
