 Abstract 

 

The core objective of the research was to improvise unconventional teaching materials from locally available resources and employ for experimental biology lesson delivery processes in training qualified biology teachers. The research populations were 24 trainees of biology PGDT that used creative education to improvise supportive teaching materials and used for the delivery processes of both purposive “identifying the acidity or basicity of solutions” and five various referenced experimental biology lesson topics. Trainees used improvised experimental teaching materials for lesson delivery processes through peer teaching and the effectiveness of performances and experience construction was measured through observation checklists composing of data collections variables identified using quasi-experiment methods. Performance effectiveness of biology trainees on of purposive and referenced lesson delivery process conducted through peer-teaching was assessed using Likert scale of 10% levelled scoring systems. As a result, the average performance effectiveness and experience construction scored through conducting peer-teaching of trainees was 82.5% in training productive and effective qualified biology teachers. The research was concluded by the fact that creative education is helpful in improvising proper teaching materials and enhanced in mind mapping and constructing basic concepts both theoretically and practically and supported learners in understandable and doable conditions of the prescribed curricula and designated contents and beyond.
