Best Practices II

KPRIT has developed some best practices which added to the quality improvement in terms of teaching and learning at the Institute. KPRIT’s best practices are the educational strategies, activities and approaches undertaken to ensure that each student gets maximum benefit from the educational experience at the Institute.

Best Practice II

1. Title of the Practice: “Fusion of “Learner-centric” Pedagogy to achieve Course Outcomes”
2. Objective of the practice:

• Various teaching learning methods implemented to enhance the performance of students.
• Increase the industrial exposure of students by industrial training and visit.
• Lerner centric approach used to achieve course outcomes.

3. Context:

Outcome-based education (OBE) is a model of teaching learning process that rejects the traditional teaching learning methods. Students should gain the knowledge of the subject and they can able to do whatever outcomes are specified in the given course.

Outcome based education (OBE) is student-centric process model which is focusing on measurement of performance of student through specified course outcomes. Outcomes include knowledge, skills, and attitudes and also based on Blooms taxonomy levels. Its focus remains on evaluation of outcomes of the program by stating the knowledge, skill and behavior a graduate is expected to attain upon completion of a. In this teaching learning process, the required knowledge and skill is predetermined and the students are evaluated for all the required parameters (outcomes) during their study in the institute.

4. Practice:

• Course file preparation for individual subject and course objectives and outcomes are specified.
• Institutional and departmental calendar prepared in accordance with university calendar to perform the regular activities along with industrial visits, workshops, expert talks, technical events and extracurricular activities.  
• Organization of regular faculty members meeting with head of the department and principal for smooth functioning of the institute to achieve the specified goal.

5. Evidence of Success:

• Improvement in students’ performance in the university result.
• Training and placement of students also improved due outcome based education process which includes learner centric pedagogy.

 

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

• To set the new teaching learning methodology, new devices and models need to prepare.
• Mobile phones are required to allow in the classroom in teaching learning process like Plickers.
• Additional classes are required to take for the slow learners.

7. Notes:

By implementing this “Learner-centric” Pedagogy process, students are taking more interest in study and faculty members are also improving their teaching methodology using new teaching learning methods.
