How to make learning Biology easy for Students

For many of the students, grasping concepts of Biology may be a daunting task or bewildering to say the least. In the present curriculum offered by educational institutions, Biology is mandatory.  Initial apprehensions are quite common for anybody when they try to assimilate the gist of new subject.

To be fair enough, the diligence and proficiency of our educating faculty combined with the wealth of learning resources available both in and out of a classroom has made the students look at this “once dreaded” subject in a new light.

The common notion prevalent among most students is that learning Biology involves memorizing loads of dry facts.  Well this is a far cry from the truth.  There are many facets to Biology that can make it an enriching and rewarding learning experience for students.

These days, educators are revamping the process of teaching to induce joy of learning in their students.

Some of the workable ideas that are being implemented are:

• We all are living in an era of technology; even school students are equipped with fancy gadgets. This can be used for their advantage.  Any student may not be able to grasp all the concepts taught in a classroom setting in its entirety.  Videos of the lectures can be made, so that the students can review the teaching repeatedly at their own convenience outside of class.

• At any stage of life, inspiration works wonders for all of us. By mentioning about the wondrous contributions of biologists like Charles Darwin or Louis Pasteur, students are encouraged to tap their enormous potential and make a mark for themselves in this world.

• Be it genetics or the medical research, we have come a long way in unraveling stumbling blocks in understanding of human life. There was even news circulated recently that a drug for cancer has been formulated.   Many valuable lives can be saved by this drug.  Isn’t this exhilarating enough? The educator has to play an active part in keeping the students well informed about the recent developments in this science.

• Classroom training is not a one way communication. Students must be encouraged to ask questions, actively take part in discussions, and emphasis should be laid on understanding the core concepts clearly without any room for doubt. Audio-visual presentations may be incorporated to generate more interest among the pupils.

• Limitless scope lies in pursuing a career in Biology, many students are unaware of the opportunities that lay ahead for them. This when conveyed precisely gives a clear picture on what road to take for a successful and promising career in the future.
