Course Outcomes

Course Outcomes are statements that describe significant and essential learning that the Students have achieved, and can reliably demonstrate at the end of a course. A Course outcome makes clear the intended result of the learning rather than what form the instruction will take. A good course outcome states what a student will know or be able to do at the end of instruction. It focuses on student performance. Other synonyms are learning outcome or Course learning outcome.

The advantages of Course Outcomes:

Benefits for the course and module designer

In terms of course and module design, the use of explicit course outcome statements can help ensure consistency of delivery across modules or programs. They can aid curriculum design by clarifying areas of overlap between existing modules, program and qualifications.

Benefits for quality assurance and standards

Quality assurance benefits from the adoption of learning outcomes via the resulting increase in transparency and better comparability of standards between and within qualifications.

Benefits for Students and employers

Students benefit from a comprehensive set of statements of exactly what they will be able to achieve after successful study. Course outcomes provide Students with clear information that can help them with their choice of module/unit/program/qualification to study and can lead to more effective learning.

KPRIT is implementing OBE. OBE is a student centric teaching-learning methodology in which the course delivery and assessment are planned to achieve the stated objectives and outcomes. To achieve the stated outcomes, the faculty members in the department follows different course delivery methods such as lecturing, tutorials, assignments, remedial classes, quiz, presentations, experimental laboratory work, project work, etc.

ICT Initiatives and Tools

Significant ICT initiatives are being implemented in KPRIT. KPRIT adopts many ICT integrated pedagogical methods to enable the learner to meet their learning goals, academic success with required competencies. In addition to the chalk & board lecture method, methods such as Blended Learning, Collaborative learning, Self-learning, Experiential Learning is used to enhance learning opportunities to the students.

Classrooms Teaching with Audio & Visual Connectivity

The lecture delivered by the faculty is through a set of educational technology/tools such as

Chalk and Board
Power point presentation (PPT)
E-Learning

The faculty use chalk and board and audio-visual aids in teaching. Students are also encouraged to actually interact during the lecture hour by getting the doubts clarified in the same class. The college has sufficient number of computers, printers, LCD projectors, application and system softwares which are used in the teaching process to improve its effectiveness.

The following innovative teaching methods are adopted by the faculty:

Computing devices with Internet facility are used for teaching processes by the faculty to give Power Point presentations, Role Play, Animations, Videos, Pictures etc., such that the students can easily understand the topic.
Faculty members are advised to avail the higher learning resources such as NPTEL, Coursera and other credible Internet sources for effective teaching.
Class rooms with LCD and Internet connection are used for teaching processes.
The faculty are implementing and utilizing Outcome Based Education (OBE) to cater the learning needs of students through innovative methodologies. Orientation programs are conducted for the newly joined faculty to make them aware of the OBE frame work to practice the regular activities in the department.
Each faculty prepares lecture notes and after completion of each unit of instruction, the material and soft copy will be shared with students.
All faculties maintain attendance registers and course files.
Internal question paper and Assignment Questions are prepared based on Bloom’s taxonomy and Bloom’s score will be calculated to identify the level of difficulty in the questions

Title: Flipped classrooms

Goal: To enhance student higher order learning by reversing the traditional model of a classroom, focusing class time on student understanding rather than on lecture.

Context: Flipped classroom in the Blended learning environment for delivering instructional content is a more advanced solution where face-to-face learning is limited. Students in flipped classes access and watch lecture video, read course handout and come to the classroom to complete activities such as group work, assignments, discussion, projects or other exercises. The flipped classroom model can be seen as a tool for implementation of blended learning.

Practice: Flipped classroom approach in the blended learning environment is extensively used in the department and exploited to its best.

The following are the steps involved in implementation of flipped classroom methodology in our department:

Concerned course faculty post instructions, lecture material and videos and the students are instructed to go through the same.
After the completion of each session the students must submit the quiz and grades for each student are issued.
The students are encouraged to hold discussions over the topic during face-to-face interaction in the classroom with the faculty.
Faculty members hold virtual class meetings for interaction through meeting application i.e., Google meet. Assignments are disseminated, cam scanned copy of assignment is evaluated and outcome of the assessment is posted for reference.
After completion of each unit, students are required to submit the assignment for each subject.

Demonstration of Concept:

Demonstration teaching is a model where a teacher or instructor demonstrates a skill, technique, or concept to students, often with the goal of having them replicate or apply what they’ve learned.

Improved understanding: Students gain a deeper understanding of complex concepts through visual demonstration.
Increased confidence: Students feel more confident attempting new skills or tasks after observing a demonstration.
Efficient learning: Demonstration teaching can be an efficient way to teach new skills or concepts.

Best Practices:

Clear instructions: Provide clear, concise instructions and demonstrations.
Active observation: Encourage students to actively observe and take notes during the demonstration.
Practice opportunities: Provide opportunities for students to practice what they’ve learned.

Title: Collaborative Learning

Goal: A collaborative conversation is a purposeful, outcome-driven conversation aimed at building on each others ideas. They generate new thinking and/or a more in-depth understanding of a desired outcome.

Context: The institute is promoting collaborative learning by implementing peer to peer teaching ideology to enhance problem solving capability and team skills which promotes healthy internal relations among the students for their all-round career development.

Peer To Peer Teaching

Peer to peer teaching is an effective teaching technique that can be used in the classroom/ lab to enhance learning. This would enable the students to revise their learning and be able to consolidate to fellow students. It also improves their subject knowledge as well as it improves their confidence with the following benefits:

Direct interaction between students promotes active learning.
Peer teachers reinforce their own learning by instructing others.
Students feel more comfortable and open when interacting with a peer.
Peers and students share a similar discourse, allowing for greater understanding.
Teachers get more time to focus on the higher order learning.

Think-Pair-Share (TPS)

TPS technique keeps all the students involved in class discussions and provides an opportunity for every student to share an answer to every question. It takes the fear out of class discussion by allowing the students to think carefully about their answers to talk about them with a partner before they called to respond.

Implementation of Think-Pair-Share Methodology

Monitor and support students as they work through the following:

T: (Think) Teachers initiate the process by asking a specific question. Students “think” about what they know or have learned about the topic.

P: (Pair) Each student shall be paired with another student or a small group.

S: (Share) Students share their thinking with their partner. Teachers expand the “share” into a whole-class discussion.

The following are few more collaborative learning activities that are implemented by the institute. They are as follows:

Seminars

Poster presentations

Paper presentations

Group Discussion

Lecture with Quiz

JAM sessions

Role play:

Role-playing is an effective teaching model that involves students acting out scenarios or roles to learn new skills, concepts, or behaviors.

Steps to Implement Role-Playing:

Define the scenario: Identify the scenario or topic to be role-played.
Assign roles: Assign students specific roles to play.
Set ground rules: Establish rules and expectations for the role-playing activity.
Debrief and discuss: After the role-playing activity, hold a debriefing session to discuss what was learned.

Best Practices:

Create a safe environment: Ensure students feel comfortable and safe participating in role-playing activities.
Encourage participation: Encourage all students to participate and engage in the role-playing activity.
Provide feedback: Offer constructive feedback to students on their performance and participation.

Animations:

The Animation Teaching model uses animations to convey complex concepts and ideas in an engaging and interactive way.

Increased engagement: Animations can capture students’ attention and maintain their interest.
Improved understanding: Animations can help students visualize complex concepts and relationships.
Enhanced retention: Animations can aid in retaining information and recalling concepts.

Types of Animations:

2D animations: Traditional cartoons or computer-generated 2D animations.
3D animations: Three-dimensional computer-generated animations.
Interactive animations: Animations that allow user interaction, such as simulations or games.

Best Practices:

Clear and concise: Ensure animations are clear, concise, and easy to understand.
Relevant and engaging: Use animations that are relevant to the topic and engaging for students.
Integrated with other teaching methods: Use animations in conjunction with other teaching methods, such as lectures and discussions
