ENHANCING PERCEPUAL SKILLS AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN LEARNING SCIENCE

Km. Chokkalingam, Dr. Ar. Saravanakumar

Abstract :

The Present School education system takes effort to render focus on science education by inculcation of perception skill among high school students. The efforts have been taken to make students away from rote memory so that the students can have scientific attitude by their perception skills with a view to enhance to learn science in high schools. At this juncture, learners of high schools are expected to do their own research to define the nature of science. The discussion which should be strongly encouraged learners and have expected to have science knowledge through perceptual skills.The science subject is so vast, students learning will enable them to decide whether they want to pursue a higher education in the subject. Perception is our sensory experience of the world around us and involves both recognizing environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli. Through the perceptual process, we gain information about properties and elements of the environment that are critical to our survival. Perception not only creates our experience of the world around us; it allows us to act within our environment. Perception includes the five senses; touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. It also includes what is known as perception, a set of senses involving the ability to detect changes in body positions and movements. It is indeed that the perceptual skills play a vital role for the development scientific knowledge even at high schools level. The scientific research attitude can be developed only by the inculcation of perceptual skills.  As science education is more important for the students at high school level, teachers may provide opportunities for developing perceptual skills so as to make the students aware of environment.
