Key Concepts & Insights

Wow!! this day is already exicting before it started. It is always suprising when you have given your all in class but your students keeps failing your exams. Do you know what is the problem there? You have misalignments. Your instructional strategies does not match to your assessment, or learning objectives. therefore, the day is about active learning. I have enjoyed the session. Prof. Sridhar started the session with what do we do best, and it was amazing to hear the answers, as mostly they were not what we do as our jobs. He then asked us why we do what we do best. He continues to guess correctly our answers. He then explains why he guessed our answers correctly. It is because we do a lot of practice but also he guessed right that it was passion as well. Interesting!!

📌New Teaching Methodologies

It was interesting to learn the triangle of active learning. This is the way we as instructors align to students learning. TPS, TBL and PI are some of the teaching techniques that will ensure active learning, however if not well aligned they will also not be effective.
