Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)
These are sample new pedagogical methods, where teacher can use to accelerate the
attainment of the various course outcomes.
1. Lecture method means it includes not only traditional lecture method, but different
type of teaching methods may be adopted to develop the course outcomes.
2. Interactive Teaching: Adopt the Active learning that includes brainstorming,
discussing, group work, focused listening, formulating questions, notetaking,
annotating, and roleplaying.
3. Show Video/animation films to explain functioning of various concepts.
4. Encourage Collaborative (Group Learning) Learning in the class.
5. To make Critical thinking, ask at least three Higher order Thinking questions in the
class.
6. Adopt Problem Based Learning, which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop
thinking skills such as the ability to evaluate, generalize, and analyse information rather
than simply recall it.
7. Show the different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to
come up with their own creative ways to solve them.
8. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world - and when that's possible,
it helps improve the students' understanding.
