Respected Vice Principal of Lady LRD Public School, Mr.R.D.Mondal, had the honour of attending an inspiring workshop titled "Learning Physics Through Workshop," conducted by the renowned Padma Shree Awardee Physicist, Dr. H.C. Verma. Known for his significant contributions to the field of Physics and his efforts in popularizing Science education, Dr. Verma led the workshop with a focus on transforming the way Physics is taught and learned.
The session was designed to move beyond the theoretical and often abstract nature of Physics and to emphasize the importance of hands-on learning. Dr. Verma began the workshop by stressing the need to shift from conventional rote learning to an experiential learning approach that involves actively engaging students with the principles of Physics. According to him, when students experience and explore scientific concepts through experiments, they develop a deeper understanding and a greater passion for the subject.
One of the key takeaways from the workshop was Dr. Verma’s emphasis on the importance of inquiry-based learning. He encouraged everyone to ask questions and pursue experiments with curiosity, rather than merely accepting textbook knowledge. This approach not only makes learning more enjoyable but also cultivates a scientific mindset—one that is based on observation, questioning, and critical thinking.
In conclusion, the workshop with Dr.H.C. Verma was an enriching experience that deepened the understanding of how Physics can be taught more effectively. His engaging demonstrations, along with his insights into fostering curiosity, inquiry, and collaboration in the classroom, left everyone with a renewed sense of enthusiasm to make Physics more engaging and accessible to students.
