STUDY OF THE PERCEPTION OF THE IN-SERVICE AND PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS TOWARDS THE BRAIN-BASED STRATEGY AND THEIR CLASSROOM PRACTICES

This action research focuses on the effect of brain based strategy on the academic achievement of the in-service and pre-service teachers. During the plenary session for the inservice teachers, initially I found majority of learners were uncomfortable in handling the statistical technique for the item analysis for the achievement test. To solve this problem , I did an action research by applying a brain storming technique on the learners. I found that the brain based strategy has been very effective foe the in-service teachers. Here I perceived that the learners shows great enthusiasm in the topic and at last they succeed in getting their self assessment. Similar technique I used on Pre-service teachers ( regular B.Ed students) by asking them to take an example whatever you gained during your teaching practices. I found that pre-service teachers are less efficient in handling the data as compared to the in-service teachers, may be because they have less experienced than in-service teachers .
