–Certain instructions about Science laboratories in Schools- Reg.
Read: - Complaint received from some
students of A.P. Dated 12.10.2021.
It is brought to the notice of the
Commissioner of School Education, Andhra Pradesh that the Science Laboratories
established in many schools are not used properly for the intended purpose and
children are not given proper exposure to the practical aspects in the
laboratories. In some schools, they are used just as show-pieces or the lab is
used to store tables, Chairs, Project Books, Answer Scripts etc., and they are
even not allowing the students into the Laboratories.
In this connection, it is informed that
no matter how good the laboratory is in the school, the use of it can be frustrating
if it is not utilized and maintained properly.
In order to understand the scientific
concepts, one has to look beyond the books and conventional class-room
teaching. All the theoretical concepts can be proved by experimenting in the
laboratory. So, laboratory teaching is an important means of instruction in
science because it provides training in observation, gives detailed
information, arouses interest in pupils, assumes the first-hand experience,
makes their learning more creative and joyful and also enhances psycho-motor
skills among students.
In view of the above, all the Regional
Joint Directors of School Education and all the District Educational Officers
in the State are hereby directed to issue necessary instructions to all the
Head Masters / Headmistress, Teachers and all the District Science Officers
under their jurisdiction on the following:
1. Must ensure proper utilization of
science laboratories and make them available to the students.
2. Must follow the instructions
/guidelines / timelines scrupulously for the lab activities issued in the
Academic Calendar.
3. Must ensure the lab activities
mentioned in the Academic Calendar should be done by the students. The same
should be recorded in the Lab Records / Formative Assessment Note Book and
Teacher Diary.
4. The Head Masters / Headmistress /
Teachers must verify student Lab Record / Formative Assessment Note Book and
Teacher diary in a periodical manner.
5. The District Science Officers, Head
Masters / Headmistress and Teachers ensure that the maximum number of students
must be participated in the science related competitions like INSPIRE, ATL, NCERT
COMPETITIONS, and other programmes / activities regularly through maximum
utilization of science laboratories.
Further, they are also informed that the
Science Laboratory activities will be considered for the assessment / grading
of schools and teachers.
Further all the inspecting officers are
instructed to verify the records maintained by the teachers and students
related to the lab activities during their visit. If any violations noticed it
should be brought to the notice of the concerned appointing officer to initiate
necessary disciplinary action.
The inspecting officers are also
directed to intimate the best practices adopted by the schools and teachers to
the Director, S.C.E.R.T., Andhra Pradesh for examine the best adoptable
practices. In turn the Director, S.C.E.R.T., disseminate the best adoptable
practices to all the schools in the State for further implementation.
Any deviation of these orders will be
viewed seriously.
