Cognitive map πŸ—Ί️

Image
A cognitive map refers to the mental representation or image of the layout of one’s physical or conceptual environment. The term was first introduced by psychologist Edward Tolman in the 1940s. Cognitive maps help individuals to navigate unfamiliar situations, give directions, and organize, learn, or recall information effectively. As part of the B.Ed. curriculum, we were required to prepare a cognitive map based on Plus One and Plus Two Mathematics textbooks. For this purpose, I selected Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations from the Plus One syllabus, and Vector Algebra from the Plus Two syllabus to construct the cognitive map.

Innovative work (semester 4)

Innovative education is a creative and learner-centered approach that makes the teaching–learning process more engaging, meaningful, and effective. It emphasizes the use of teaching aids, hands-on activities, and visual models to help students understand concepts through experience rather than rote memorization. In the B.Ed curriculum, innovative work bridges theory and practice by encouraging pre-service teachers to design learner-friendly teaching aids that support a constructivist approach to learning. For this purpose, I created a working model on the properties of a parallelogram. The model is colorful and neatly designed with movable parts that demonstrate key properties such as opposite sides being equal and parallel, opposite angles being equal, adjacent angles adding up to 180°, and diagonals bisecting each other. By interacting with the model, students can visually observe and verify each property, making abstract geometric concepts easier to understand. This hand...
