Student learning centric methodology: An aid to innovative teaching and learning process

Abstract

Teaching is a noble profession that contributes to the Nation Prosperity and with rapid advancing technology, it is necessary for a professional teacher to understand, inculcate, evaluate, examine and enhance the standards of teaching and learning using the available state-of-art technology yet keeping in view the abilities and limitations of both teachers and learners. While teaching and learning seemingly look dichotomous, they are really intertwined. Collaborative aspects of a complex process of learning are to be shaped by both teacher and student. This paper describes a Student Learning Centric (SLC) and an Analogous Learning methodology to create vibrant and active learning process. In this paper the OSI layers of a Communication Network are interpreted with a Bike Race example so that the functionality of each layer is more effectively understood by the students. This methodology emphasises the need for introducing the new concepts with appropriate real time scenario for effective and active learning.
