A novel methodology for improving teaching learning process and its outcome on 2K students for engineering education

Abstract

Over the years, various teaching methodologies such as socio constructive perspective, group projects, Mind Map, Z to A approach, Role play, Brown Bag were used to deliver engineering education easily to students so that they retain the concepts well. This paper deals with an effective teaching methodology named “Never Miss a Class” designed for 2K engineering students. The Method uses a video prepared by the instructor that briefs the content that happened in the class. If a student is absent for the concerned class then the instructor uploads the video to the students broadcast group on their personal phone (namely Whats app Group). The advantage of this technique is that even if the student misses the class, the video will be available with him at any time for learning. This is effective for numerical based papers in Engineering. The proposed teaching methodology is implemented on the second and third year students of Electronics and Communication Engineering of Vidya Jyothi institute of technology, Hyderabad. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is vivid when compared with other conventional teaching methodologies, when the former has good end exam results and the concept retaining capability of the students, when compared to latter. A proposed teaching methodology surpasses other methods thereby enabling the students to reproduce the concepts during their semester exam, or questioned elsewhere.
