2. o The article proposes an empirical study designed to examine
the impact of new normal in teaching and learning processes,
involved in Chemistry by highlighting its expected impact on
post COVID-19
o The study exclusively focuses on teaching chemistry with the
help of technology at secondary level which could prove to be
challenge yet the process has helped us find where to improve
and deliberate on how to make the process much more
decisive.
ABSTRACT

3. • Classroom learning involves face to face interaction among
students and it provides the dynamic learning experience in
teaching chemistry
• And as we approach a new academic year, many students –
both existing and new – may be wondering, “Which class
structure is best for me?”
• Efforts to address this concern pushed F2F classroom
education to NEW NORMAL MODE OF CHEMISTRY
INTRODUCTION

4. F2F MODE
 It provide a chance to actively engage in the process of
learning
 Methodology to teach them concepts
 It help the students to relate the subject to their own
experiences
 Classroom often really helps to bring the subject
‘ALIVE’

5. VIRTUAL MODE
• Education Begins At Home!!
“keeping it simple and stick to the essential learning
outcomes”
• It’s time to think OUT OF THE BOX
• Student’s opportunity to learn is enhanced
and they started to implement the learning of
chemistry in day-to-day life

6. VIRTUAL MODE
 It has an advantages to provoke the students to
virtualize and think beyond
 Students could able to understand & virtualize
certain concepts on virtual mode
(ore refining, preparation of some compounds, recrystallization
and its application)
 Though the availability of virtual lab stimulations
they can’t have a hands-on experience on practical

7. VIRTUAL MODE VS FACE TO FACE MODE OF
TEACHING IN CHEMISTRY

8. CHALLENGE THE CHALLENGES
 The main challenge for the students was maintaining the same
levels of discipline and writing the exam honestly being at home.
 Teaching chemistry for higher secondary students, they have to
understand the mechanisms, naming and drawing the structure of
compounds
 Student’s opportunity to learn is enhanced but at the same time for
slow bloomers in the classes are finding difficulty to follow the
online classes.

9. CONCLUSION
• As Educators - Role in student engagement and learning and
preparing tomorrow’s citizens
[motivating, aiding, and supporting our students to think critically and
inculcate the habit of lifelong learning]
• Creative learning opportunities in chemistry -Changes were
made to traditional teaching, and new online teaching platforms
were adapted to continue providing meaningful
• Adopt the blended learning approach where they can include
the traditional learning along with the virtual mode of teaching.
