INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING
CHEMISTRY
TRAINING
OF TEACHERS:.
The
Society undertook training of teachers of chemistry for higher secondary schools. The Society and
its branches organize teaching programs in the schools and the colleges of Assam. The teachers
training programs are so far sponsored by Assam Higher Secondary Education Council. Two training
programs are being organized so far in 1993 and 2001by the Society.. The teachers in chemistry from
higher secondary schools of Assam participate in the course. The course in general covers the
syllabus of higher secondary of Assam Higher Secondary Education Council. New areas including
computer education in chemistry are also included. The resource persons are invited from the
teachers of the university and the colleges of Assam. Teacher educators, evaluators and persons from
industries are also invited. The topics covered in the training program held from 31.05.2001 to
16.06.2001 are as follows:
1. Origin of elements
2. Atomic structure
