Subject : Operating System

Period: Third

Topic: Introduction

Teaching Item: Process & Thread

Class: BICT 4th Semester

Unit: One

Time: 50 min

No. of Students: 20

1. Specific Objective:

At the end of this lesson, students will be able:

• To understand the concepts of process and thread in operating systems.
• To identify the differences between processes and threads.
• To explain the importance of processes and threads in the context of operating systems.

2. Instructional materials:

• Daily Usage Materials,
• PowerPoint Presentation Slide,
• Laptop
• Projector etc.

3. Teaching Learning Activities:

• I will enter the classroom, greeting the students warmly and motivating them for an engaging session. I will write today's topic, "Process and Thread in Operating Systems," on the board, encouraging students to take note of it.
• I will begin the class by asking probing questions such as: "What do you understand by a process in computing?" "How does a thread differ from a process?" "Why are processes and threads important in an operating system?"
• After that, I will open the PowerPoint presentation slides, providing a structured overview of the topic. The slides will cover the definitions of processes and threads, their characteristics, and their roles in multitasking environments.
• I will supplement the presentation with real-world examples and analogies to enhance understanding and application.
• After covering the main points, I will summarize the lesson, highlighting key takeaways and emphasizing the practical relevance of understanding processes and threads in operating systems.

4. Assessment:

Throughout the session, I will engage students with questions like, "Can you distinguish between a process and a thread?" "Why might an operating system use threads instead of processes for certain tasks?"

5. Homework:

What do you mean by process and threads? Explain with their differences.
