Innovative teaching by kinesthetic learning activity and its problem factors: Physics in agriculture

Abstract

The present study attempts to find out the problems faced by the students in understanding Physics through Kinesthetic Learning Activity. Present day students lack clear concepts in the subject Physics and its uses in terms of Agriculture and thus it becomes important for the educator to devise innovative methods of teaching; like the Kinesthetic Learning Activity. However, administering KLA had some problem factors, which were ranked. 45 responses from Class XI Science students were collected with the help of an online questionnaire and were analyzed using Garrett’s Ranking Technique to obtain the highest rank in the problem. Findings show that ‘difficult to picturize certain topics' is the most important factor followed by ‘lack of adequate time for conducting activity’ in the class among the 13 possible problem factors.
