‘Resource’ means something that can be used to help achieve an aim. As a teacher, you must already be using a number of resources like a dictionary, a map or a model, etc. to help you transact EVS lessons better.
- A textbook is one of the learning resources and not only resource both for children as well as teachers.
- Other learning resources such as family members and community, newspapers, books and worksheets, etc. should be used for better learning.
- While interacting with parents/elders, children collect past information and also get the opportunity to develop discussion/ questioning skills.
