Abstract
The core of the teaching process is the arrangement of the environment within which the students can interact and study how to learn. Models are one of them for creating a learning environment in the classroom. The teaching models have been classified into three main types, as Philosophical teaching models (John Locke), Psychological models of teaching and Modern teaching models. The Philosophical teaching models includes the Insight model, the Impression model and the Rule model. Pioneer of impression model John Locke concluded in his educational thoughts that, “No proposition can be said to be in the mind and “Virtue generally approved, not because innate, but because profitable” No any specific theory of using Impression Model as like concept attainment model, inquiry model etc. but researcher has taken reference of Behavioristic theory and the Constructivist approach for making impression model as a student-teacher centric model. The major concern of most of the teachers is how to impress students in the classroom by using strategies and models. Hence, to know the advantage of impression model researcher has conducted this study. Objectives of the study are
1.To design the elements of impression model.
2.To design the syntax the impression model.
3.To design impression making process of impression model.
4.To design teaching-learning plan (Lesson plan) of impression model.
5.To orient to B.Ed.-M.Ed.(Integrated) semester-V student teachers about the impression model.
6.To implement the impression model on B.Ed.-M.Ed.(Integrated) semester-V student teachers.
7.To implement the impression model on B.Ed. student teachers.
8.To know opinion on impression model by B.Ed.-M.Ed.(Integrated) semester-V student teachers.
The present research is descriptive survey research. For the research sample B.Ed.-M.Ed. (Int.) student teachers were selected by convenient sampling method. Researcher made questionnaire was used to collect data by considering pilot testing and analyzed by using qualitative method. Conclusions are found that Impression Model is very good to use but preparation is required by the teachers for impressing students. We can use various strategies for implementing the model. Though it is time consuming but it makes teaching-learning process enjoyable and enthusiastic.
