A CDIO framework on instructor teaching effectiveness using digitized technology concepts

Abstract

In Engineering education it is mandatory to provide a set of digitized, technology related skill development activities to enhance the faculties teaching ability to strengthen vital innovations in academic and digital skill expertise throughout their career and to improve the continuous learning outcome of their students. This study examines the teaching and learning with digital competence will motivate and improve the performance of student learning and effectiveness in teaching (Angelo, 1991). The CDIO approach (Standard 9) guiding the educators to advance their skills in the teaching includes personal, interpersonal, process, product, system building skills and their competence are integral to implement a CDIO-based education. It is essential to recognize that faculties at distinct points of their teaching path will have divergent skillful advancement in cooperation, utility, collaboration, knowledge exchange and require explicit technologically qualified to react productively to learner, institution and various national academic regulatory bodies. In the paper, we try to compare the faculties with digital learning skills in the integrated curriculum of engineering programmes in the state of Tamil Nadu, in India with the technology integrated framework of CDIO followed by various developing countries. The proposed method shows that the teachers from various disciplines are exposed to frequent ICT (Information & Communication Technology) based training had definitely gained higher levels in using instructional technology, creativity, knowledge skill, effectiveness in delivering their instructions to improve the student cdio based learning outcome to enhance overall digital competence.
