ABSTRACT
The study was basically carried to find out about the contributions of improvisation on learning science education. The mixed mode of data collection method was used for the purpose whereby data were collected through semi structured interview questions and survey questionnaire. Analysis and interpretation of quantitative data was carried using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) whereas analysis of qualitative data involved looking for similarities and dissimilarities and generating themes. Finally the collected data and information from both qualitative and quantitative method will be compared and analyzed. It was inferred that TLM hold significant importance in providing valuable support and enhancing the learning experience for both educators and students. However, it was found that most schools lack the required TLM and teachers improvise the required TLM with locally available materials. However, improvisation of TLM requires lots of resources and support from many relevant stakeholders. Moreover, it was also found that improvisation is very time consuming and comes with the challenges of precision and accuracy. The study also founded that with the advancement of technology, digital tools like YouTube videos and simulations were used when readymade TLM are not available in the schools. However, this research study was carried during short period of time with minimum participants and findings from the study cannot be generalized for all the schools across the country. Furthermore, further research can be carried to find out about different module offered in two colleges of Education which teaches about preparation and improvisation of TLM.
