Innovative Teaching Learning Methods

Incorporating teaching and learning approaches involves combining lecture methods with modern techniques.

These methods contribute to the growth of students by expanding their capacity to learn. There are many different ways to innovate in teaching and learning, and the best approach will vary depending on the subject matter, the students, and the resources available. The main goal of these innovations is to enhance the effectiveness, engagement, accessibility, and adaptability of education to cater to the needs of learners.

 

Pedagogical training

Pedagogical training assists faculty members to improve classroom management skills and develop communicative teaching practices.

Department Library

The department has a good library with a collection of over 300 books.

Real Time Demonstration

Models are displayed through which students can see the models of famous monuments, Suspension bridges , Multi-storied buildings etc.

Online courses

Online courses are being conducted through google meet and Google forms are provided to take placement training and its assessment.

Certified Courses

Faculty members and students are encouraged to enroll in online courses offered by reputable platforms and institutions such as NPTEL , NIELIT and Coursera

Formative AssessmentQuizRegular use of assessment tools that have little bearing on a student's course mark is known as Formative Assesment. They improve the learning process while adding interest by moving up the routine of traditional classroom instruction. Online and offline quizzes are given for both theory and lab courses.

YouTube VideosFaculty members in those courses developed the video lectures, which covered the same material as in-person lectures on certain subjects. Students can take the lecture with them and can do so anywhere via video lectures. In order to better understand the material, students can pause the lecture and play back specific parts. The parts of the topics they already know can be skipped. It is especially helpful for slow learners since they can modify the faculty member’s content delivery speed and topic selection to meet their learning rate.

Collaborative LearningGroup Discussions-


Debate













Role play
















Think-pair-share














Poster making














Making models and charts













Peer-Paced learning
During class, a group leader is selected for each group discussion activity. The group leader is made responsible for all the outcomes of the activity of that particular day. Every time, the group leader is changed to pass the responsibility to each student by the end of the semester. Students acquire responsibility and leadership from this.
Debate as a teaching pedagogy fosters critical thinking, research skills, and effective communication.
The two teams will discuss with each other . Before the opening of the debate both teams will have 5 minutes to get ready for the debate. The team can start debate after 5 minutes. The debate ends after 20 minutes.

Students use the collaborative learning approach known as Think-Pair-Share (TPS) to work together to solve a problem or respond to a question regarding a given reading.
All students are urged to engage with the course material through this. In this exercise, the teacher poses an open-ended query. Ask students to consider and write a response for one or two minutes. After that, instruct the students to discuss their responses in pairs.
After a short while, get everyone back together and ask them to discuss their comments from the pair.

Students also made some charts models related to certain topics of some courses so that they got the clear picture of the topicand they presented the chart before other students during the hour of the particular course



The total students were divided in to four groups.
Each group has a leader (fast learner) and the leader will teach other students. They will also get appreciation when all the members in the group pass in the series exams.
