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

·
demonstrates the

·
illustrates the results
of the experiments
·
