SASTRAPOSHINI

INTRODUCTION

Sastraposhini is a scheme planned by the Kerala state council for

science technology and environment for strengthening science education

among the high schools of the state. This program plans strengthening of

the high school science laboratories of the state and an effective interaction

among the students and teachers. This is planned to be launched by the

council in association with the state education department.

Sastraposhini, a program envisaged by the Kerala state council for

science technology and environment aims towards strengthening science

education in schools of Kerala. This program will be implemented by

setting up model laboratories. For conducting science experiments in

selectchool of the state.

NEED

The educational achievements in Kerala are well known and

much studied. But the aliasing decline in the standard of the science

educational all levels is less attended. This has led to many

consequences recently; there has been a boom in the career with regard

to information technology and biotechnology but this need to be

backed up through science education of high quality at the school and

college level.

OBJECTIVES

To stimulate interest in science at school level by the

performance in physics chemistry and biology by students to provide

hand on experiments to evolve low cost laboratory kit based on readily

available material for the performing of range of experiments.

OUTCOME

The present project is planned for two years. Once the project is

launched it will be operated through two academic years. by

establishing model laboratories in core science subject like physics,

chemistry and biology. Which include practical experiments,

interaction with eminent scientists will be arranged the model

laboratories aimed may spearhead science in school program over the

entire state, and provide a stimulus on education in general.

TRAINING

Training to teachers is an important component of this scheme.

Eminent scholars will train science teachers in different disciplines at

different phases of the program. First phase training was conducted for

60 teachers. For three days at the Centre for science in society

V.unnikrishnan Nair vice chancellor CUSAT inaugurated the program

Persons about twenty handled both the theoretical and practical aspect

of science education and evolved methodologies to make the teaching

interactive and interesting.

OPERATION OF THE SCHEME

A state level apex recourse group consisting of experts,

nominees of the council and state education department will evaluate

the project ones in three month there will be a district level committee

in each educational district consisting of the school authorities,

teachers and PTA in the form of a review forum, which will meet as

often as necessary the input forum. The district level committee and

the site visit will form the basis for the assessment of the speed by the

state level committee.

ROLE OF KSCSTE

So far the science and the technology department of the state

have been concentrating more on the issues. The status of science

education at the school level dropped in enrolment inability of science

graduates of our state to compete at national level etc. The present

proposal of establishing in each educational district is a pilot program

planned by the council in consultation with the state educational

department. One’s whole system and networking are established the

same will be handed over to the state educational department.

CONCLUSION

Sastraposhini a program developed by the Kerala state council

for science technology and environment aims towards strengthening

science education in schools of Kerala.Sastraposhini plans

strengthening high school laboratories of the state and an effective

interaction among the students and teachers. This is planned to be

launched by the council in association with the state education
