Perspective Biology Teachers: Visualize The Future
A workshop can introduce a new concept, spurring participants to investigate it further on their own, or can demonstrate and encourage the practice of actual methods. It’s a great way to teach hands-on skills because it offers participants a chance to try out new methods.
Nowadays, the school systems and industry are quite demanding and in many cases, the level of higher education is deemed inadequate, with many stating that it does not meet what is anticipated or what the industry requires. Overcoming this obstacle is not easy, and requires significant reformation, research, and innovation. Therefore, to connect the dots and occupy students with new-age techniques and pedagogical methods on teaching and classroom environment and management, having workshops and listening to experienced and prominent teachers from schools will assist students to learn more information about their future occupation and their way of work.
