Abstract

One amongst innumerable deeds of Almighty is hominid due to its learning abilities. The main potential of learning is to acquire knowledge from different sources and apply it on real world applications. Learning is a technique of knowledge achievement and applying this knowledge over several application domains. This knowledge can be assimilated both by means of passive learning and active learning. Since many years traditional or passive learning played a prevailing role due to direct interaction of faculty and learner. Unfortunately these type of learning fails to attain the objectives of all the modern technological courses. This paper tries to demonstrate the learning methods like traditional and active which can conceive the outcomes of the courses as per the accreditation bodies. We also focuses on the pitfalls of traditional learning can overcomes by using active learning methods. In this paper we tried to focus on numerous active learning methods like class room observations, thinking & sharing of considerable thoughts among learners, Practical learning or achievements, brain storming, problematic based & result based learning and others. We tried to incorporate these learning methods both active & passive type to technical courses like software engineering and programming languages. The graphs are plotted after applying these learning methods on these courses. We also present a comparative study on how these active learning strategies can be beneficial in attaining the outcomes of National Qualifications Framework under National Commission for Academic Accreditations and Assessment accreditation body. This paper can be very much beneficial for all educators to select appropriate teaching strategies according to their courses before its commencement.
