Impacts of Teaching through MFS Approach of Synectics Model on Academic Progress in Science of Elementary level Students

Abstract

In the school setting, the child is always pressurized to score high. In order to achieve that the student adopts rote learning and traditional way of learning. But that hinders the child’s thinking process. The present study seeks to assess the effectiveness of MFS approach of Synectics Model of Teaching on Science learning for elementary level. It is very much essential for one’s unique development. Synectics model of teaching is one of the special techniques made to develop the creative thinking ability of the children by means of encouraging divergent thinking through creating conceptual distance. Creative thinking ability is such a psychological construct which is more or less possessed by an individual. For this goal, a non-equivalent control group was utilized. The subjects of experiment consisted of 40 students each in experimental and control group. The findings showed that Synectics model of teaching has significant impact in science learning.
