INTRODUCTION- The pedagogy of the teaching-learning environment has experienced
significant changes over time, keeping the ever-changing business scenario. As today,
imparting knowledge with the help of skill full creativity and innovative tools, and techniques
facilitated by behavioural and technological interventions, has become the order of the day.
On one hand, these innovative instructional strategies facilitate more enjoyable learning
environments and on the other, the trainers and faculty members get the opportunity to create
a more hands-on learning environment in the class.
"Teaching Learning and Assignment" is a professional development program designed for
educators to enhance their skills in creating effective teaching methods, designing engaging
learning activities, as well as developing well-structured assignments that promote student
understanding and critical thinking.
Objectives of the FDP
1. To introduce the design and customization of teaching approaches suiting student needs.
2. To present new and innovative ways of engaging students in the classroom.
3. To identify and apply new technology that will improve the ability of class projects,
assignments and to presentation of ideas.
4. To share the use of new teaching strategies to make classes more lively, interactive, and
interesting.
Key aspects covered
Understanding learning theories:
Exploring different learning theories like constructivism, social learning, and cognitive
development to tailor assignments that align with how students learn best
Designing effective assignments:
1. Creating clear learning objectives for each assignment.
2. Choosing appropriate assignment types (e.g., essays, case studies, presentations,
projects, quizzes) based on learning goals.
3. Incorporating diverse assessment methods (e.g., peer review, self-assessment, and
rubrics
Instructional strategies for assignment-based learning:
Providing clear instructions and expectations for assignments to be propagated.
Guiding students through the assignment process with scaffolding and timely feedback.
Utilizing technology tools to facilitate collaboration and submission of assignment
Feedback practices:
Delivering constructive and specific feedback to students on their assignments.
Using feedback forms to improve future teaching and assignment design.
Assessment and grading practices:
Developing reliable and valid rubrics for grading the assignments for their effectiveness.
Addressing issues of fairness and consistency in grading system
TEACHING LEARNING METHODS
Flipped classroom
Personalized learning
Micro-teaching methods
Concept mapping
Strategies for improving peer-to-peer learning experience
Blended learning model
Think-pair-share strategies
1. Flipped classroom -
A flipped classroom is a teaching method that reverses the traditional lecture-in-class and
homework-outside-of-class approach. In this method, students learn content before class and
apply it in class.
Benefits of flipped classroom
Students learn at their own pace
Students take responsibility for their learning
Students have more opportunities to learn at a higher level
Students learn more deeply
Students interact more meaningfully with their instructor and peers
2. Personalized learning-
Personalized learning is an educational approach that aims to customize learning for each
student’s strengths, needs, skills, and interests.
Personalized learning is a teaching model based on that premise. Each student gets a
“learning plan” based on how they learn, what they know, and what their skills and learning
interest are
To build a successful system of personalized learning, we must begin by acknowledging that
we should be giving every single child the chance to be the best they can be like judgement,
confidence, whatever their talent or background. Personalized learning means high-quality
teaching that is responsive to the different ways students achieve their best.
Benefits
Engagement: Students are more motivated when they see the relevance of what they're
learning
Equity: Helps promote equity and social justice in education
Confidence: Helps students develop confidence, competence, and autonomy
3. Concept mapping-
Concept mapping is a way to visually organize ideas and show how they relate to each
other. It can be used to learn and retain information, solve problems, and much more
Concept maps are visual representations of information. They can take the form of charts,
graphic organizers, tables, flowcharts, timelines, or T-charts. Concept maps are especially
useful for students who learn better by visually
Types of concept maps
Hierarchical maps: Organize information in a tree-like structure
Spider maps: Diagram concepts
Flowcharts: Visualize processes
System maps: Visualize systems
Uses of concept maps
Learning
Concept maps can help you learn and retain information by identifying relationships
between ideas
Problem solving
Concept maps can help you solve problems by organizing as well as structuring knowledge
Planning and evaluation
Concept maps can help groups develop a conceptual framework for planning and
evaluation.
Applications of concept mapping within healthcare include:
Organizing workloads
Prioritizing patient assignments
Critically thinking
Mapping out plans of care
Identifying relationships between symptoms
Revealing diagnosis
Training medical staff
4. Strategies for improving peer-to-peer learning experience
Peer-to-peer learning is a mutual learning and training strategy in which participants of the
same level engage in collaborative learning. Simply put, peer-to-peer learning occurs when
one or more learners teach other learners. This type of learning allows employees to work
through new concepts and share ideas with their peers working on the same project.
Key Strategies include:
Carefully structuring groups with diverse skill levels,
Providing clear guidelines and expectations,
Encouraging active participation,
Facilitating constructive feedback,
Utilizing collaborative learning activities,
Incorporating peer assessment,
Fostering a supportive learning environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing
knowledge and asking questions
Examples of Peer-to-Peer Learning
1. Action learning groups-
Action learning is a process of insightful questioning, reflective listening,
generating new actions, and learning from a shared group.
2. Debates
A debate is a formal activity in which a participant presents a particular point of view and
attempts to convince others with a different point of view to agree with that point of view.
Debates encourage higher-order and critical thinking skills among all involved members
5. Blended learning model
A blended learning model is a teaching method that combines online and in-person
learning. It's also known as hybrid learning, mixed learning, or flipped classroom
Examples of blended learning models
Flipped classroom
Students watch lectures or videos before class, and then use class time for discussions and
activities
Self-blend model
Students choose which aspects of their learning they want to complete online and which
ones they want to complete in person
Gamification: One of the most effective ways to motivate learners is by
letting them play! By using game play elements such as points or
levels, learners feel a little competition and are more motivated
6. Think-pair-share strategies
The Think-Pair-Share strategy is a cooperative learning technique that helps students develop
their thinking and communication skills. It involves asking students to think individually,
then pair up with a partner to discuss their ideas
Benefits of Think-Pair-Share
Helps students develop problem-solving skills
Encourages students to reflect on their own understanding
Helps students learn how to explain their thoughts to others
Maximizes student engagement and participation
