Modern Teaching Methods in Action in Statistics Classes in West Bengal

Abstract

The overall research study has focused on the current teaching methods in the statistics domain in the Indian state of West Bengal. Different teaching styles have been evaluated in this study along with existing gaps in the current teaching method. It has been observed that traditional teaching method is still practiced by teachers and professors in WB. However, the participants accepted that “project-based learning” can be more effective in terms of technical skill development. In addition, teachers should move forward from lecture-based classes to active learning techniques that can optimise students' engagement and the standard of learning. In this study, it has been founded that the usage of modern teaching approaches primarily leads to knowledge-based application that depends on both students and educators so that their time can be utilized effectively.
