'Teaching of Physical Science' by Dr Lalit Kishore: An AI Overview

Here is the AI Overview (Google, 2026) [1] of this blogger’s (Dr Lalit KIshore) book “Teaching of Physical Science’ [2] which is quoted by

researchers on science education and is referred by institutes of teacher education (see inset picture)

Google (2026) provides the following information on Kishore’s book: The book Teaching of Physical Science by Dr. Lalit Kishore is a practical guide designed for science educators, teacher-trainees, and B.Ed. candidates focusing on active, process-based learning.

Core Strengths of the Book

·         Focus on Knowledge Construction: The book moves away from rote memorization. It champions the Concept Attainment Model (CAM), where students build generalizations through active observation and logical reasoning.

·         Practical Pedagogical Tools: It offers clear methodologies, strategies, and techniques for framing lesson plans and micro-lesson plans.

·         Experiential and Activity-Based Learning: The text emphasizes using simple environmental resources and readily available materials for pre-lab and lab experiences.

Key Focus Areas 

·         Pedagogical Analysis: Provides detailed, structured examples for breaking down and teaching physical science concepts effectively.

·         Modern Instructional Strategies: Integrates contemporary educational frameworks, transitioning learners from passive receivers to active participants.

Critique

While the book provides an exceptional framework for interactive and constructivist science teaching, its primary focus remains geared toward foundational and middle-to-secondary school instruction. Readers looking for advanced, highly technical quantum or relativistic physics theories will find it more focused on pedagogy than high-level academic physics content.

Conclusion

Teaching of Physical Science is an essential, highly functional resource for educators wanting to make science classrooms dynamic, inquiry-driven, and engaging.

In Summary

Kishore (1988) advocates for an active, process-based pedagogy that emphasizes inquiry-based learning and environmental resources by creating structured lesson plans, micro-teaching schedules, and pedagogical analyses, using concrete classroom examples to bridge theoretical models with real-world applications. It is held a strong emphasis on the Concept Attainment Model (CAM), guiding trainee teachers to transition students from passive listeners to active scientific thinkers while utilizing practical approach to setting up low-cost science laboratories and implementing activity-based learning.
