High-Impact Teaching Designs for Effective Higher Educational Practices

Abstract

Teaching design is a concept that helps teachers to identify the learning purposes. It is not about timekeeping or scheduling class norms only rather a plan that equips learners to learn the required concepts. It is a strategy that supports teachers to maintain effective higher educational practices. This qualitative study analyzed the high-impact teaching designs that can help in the effectiveness of higher education practices. The high-impactteaching designs are Inward design (module material), Backward design (module delivery planning), and Forward design (module outcomes). The educational institutions have aligned most of the programs as per the requirements of modern corporations. This study is based on the authors’ priori interest and knowledge in the field and has offered three teaching designs related to inward design, backward design, and forward design. The readers will have exposure to the designs and learn to apply them to implement effective higher educational practices. The study organized the teaching designs and proposed the sequential flows from input (course modules), process (delivery mode), and output (program outcomes). The purpose of such proposed flows is to list the effective educational practices that can help in achieving the learning and program outcomes.
