Enriching life-long learning Skills of Students by Poster Development and Presentation (PDP) Approach

In recent years’ students are very reluctant to read books for studying for any course. They are preferring only teachers’ notes or PowerPoint slides and mobile apps for exam study. Any type of information or study material is easily available on various networking sites. This can lead to poor interest and less engagement of students in the classroom teaching learning process. Also, in class activities are not fulfilling the expected level of learning of students, especially in the conceptual courses. So students need an activity based learning approach in the classroom. Nowadays most of the teachers in engineering institutions face these challenges. Hence, to utilize the capabilities of students, make them aware of course related books and achieve expected level of learning of students, a poster presentation module was implemented. In this practice paper, implementation of poster development and presentation (PDP) to improve learning of course fluid mechanics and machineries is detailed. This PDP approach empowers the student in life-long learning skills. Keywords— Poster development and presentation, assessment, book reading, life-long learning.

Blockchain and IoT Technology Transformation in Indonesian Education

Conceptualizing “classroom teaching-learning process” that engages students in Indian business school

PurposeCase-based classroom teaching-learning process (hereafter, case method) has provided a very productive teaching-learning environment for a long time. In the case method, students are expected to meet some prerequisites, such as reading and analyzing the case in advance, listening to the classroom discussion and actively participating in the discussion. However, it is frequently reported in Indian business schools that students do not prepare the assigned case before the scheduled class. The under-preparation of cases results in low-quality discussion, high absenteeism, passive attitude and lack of energy.Design/methodology/approachThis study modeled the case method using an IGEO (input-guide-enablers-output, commonly used in any process modeling) framework to identify challenges in the case-based classroom teaching-learning process. A novel customized classroom teaching-learning process called the EPDE (explain, practice, discuss, explore) method replaced the case method. These two teaching-learning processes were used for teaching two groups of MBA students.FindingsThe novel EPDE method effectively addressed the case method challenges. It resulted in better learning outcomes in the Indian B-school context.Originality/valueThe purpose of the study is to examine the impact of an alternative to the traditional case study method in a college classroom among MBA students. Two points make this study original and unique: (1) The IGOE process modeling framework is used to model teaching-learning processes, such as the case and EPDE methods. Using IGOE for teaching-learning processes is unique and is not available in the literature and (2) the EPDE method is a novel concept.

Exploring Intersubjective Interactions: A Sociocultural Analysis of Pedagogical Practices in a Digantar School

The paper makes two set of arguments, one, that creation of intersubjective spaces is central to children’s engagement in the classroom teaching–learning process and two and more importantly that creation of intersubjective spaces facilitates concept development in children. Using empirical data of the classroom teaching–learning processes in a Digantar school in rural Rajasthan, India, the study presents the components of intersubjective interactions that facilitate development of concepts in children. Intersubjectivity, here, is not conceptualised as a knowledge neutral, culture neutral or historicity neutral spaces but as knowledge laden spaces which provide the possibility for mutual alignment of participants’ motives. It has been argued that the multiple contact points and the nature of interaction between the teacher and learners in the school provide the possibility for investigation of the main components of intersubjective spaces in the classroom context. Negotiation of the object of activity, pedagogical interventions (such as exploratory questioning, teacher presenting herself as a non-expert, evoking classroom’s long-term trajectory), focus on epistemological underpinnings of the subject and teacher’s and children’s engagement with metaperspectives were found to be the main factors that contributed to the creation of intersubjective spaces.

Neural network simulation for obstacle avoidance and wall follower robot as a helping tool for teaching-learning process in classroom

One of the most applied technologies is robotics, and one the most applied type of robots is a mobile robot. To provide a tool for the interactive teaching-learning process in the classroom, a simulation program is needed. Low price and easy to use software is preferable considering not every polytechnic can provide expensive simulation software for its students. Robotics related curriculum should include artificial intelligence since it is functioning as a brain to the robot. One type of artificial intelligences is neural networks. This study presents the application of neural networks by using low price simulation software. The simulation results show the feasibility of utilizing the software for the students to learn neural networks by variating the scenarios of mobile robots application, adding more robots, more sensors and writing the programs to control the robots. The contribution of this paper is to show and inspire teachers to create a more interactive teaching-learning process in the classroom by using low price, user-friendly software, and to encourage them to search more alternatives of low price or even free software to be the teaching tool in the classroom.

RESHAPING DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR PROMOTES WORK EFFICIENCY OF TEACHERS IN PUPILS’ PROCESSING ORGANISATIONS

In recent times, students of professional courses create many problems during the class hours and the freedom of teacher rights are curtailed. They could not work efficiently and effectively. Due to the above reason, teacher could not bring out any behaviour modification among the students. This short of behaviour hamper the classroom teaching-learning process and at the same time it may affect the behaviour of teachers inside the Classroom. Not only that, the teachers cannot perform their work effectively and efficiently. At present, most of the higher Educational Institutions are not properly following criteria for admitting the students, because they want to enroll students. In this juncture, students coming from different culture create unnecessary problems in the classroom and that may affect teachers teaching efficiency as well as academic development. The Disruptive behaviour and its causes and remedies must be discussed in the B.Ed curriculum. So that student teachers will come to know the nature of the behaviour and rectify the same among students and Teachers work efficiency will be used absolutely for students’s progress. Students will also come to know which one is Right behaviour and wrong behaviour. Through this process students will learn value based behaviour and create a congenial atmosphere in the class and Institution.
