Heuristic methods of teaching


Heuristic methods of teaching
In words of Professor Armstrong, "Heuristic methods of teaching are methods which involve our placing students as far as possible in the altitude of the discoverer - methods which involve their finding out instead of being merely told about things". In this method the child behaves like a research scholar and discovers the truth. Hence, the heuristic method is a method which can give adequate training for discovery and experimentation or research. This method prefers the discovery and practice than knowing the concepts. In heuristic method the student be put in the place of an independent discover. Thus no help or guidance is provided by the teacher in this method. In this the teacher set a problem for the students and then stands aside while discover the answer.
Objectives:
·         By this heuristic method a student  can solve a problem by using his scientific attitude
·         explains his activities to be done
·         demonstrates the experiments
·         illustrates the results of the experiments 
·         acquires the knowledge about the new concepts 
·         independently collects and analyses the data for information.
