Improving Quality of Teaching-learning Involving Students ajid a
Industry PersonnelR Nagaraj* and C Sivapragasam**1
O f the many innovative recommendations in the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020, the recommendation to give more autonomy to institutions and faculty members to design curriculum, pedagogy and assessment methods is highly welcome. The need for creative thinking and competence in higher order skills in students have been recognized by many across the globe [1-3], but its effective implementation is lagging in the Indian higher education system which is mostly dominated by teacher-centred learning. There are some good initiatives by many institutions which have gone for NBA accreditation o f their programmes but such initiatives are yet to receive recognition beyond the institution boundary. The recommendation in NEP-2020 will certainly break this barrier in the days to come.
Proposed Model
This article proposes a model for improving the quality o f teaching learning (Figure 1) by increasing the participation of the students and industry personnel at different levels. A partial implementation o f this model in terms of allowing faculty members to have flexibility in designing assessment methods for a given course is already in place at the Kalasalingam Academy o f Research and Education (KARE). At first stage, for a given course, a faculty comes up with a set of assessment methods which promote higher order thinking such as mini proj ect, model development, field visit, experimental design, open book test, evaluation by industry personnel as well as peer evaluation. The other conventional assessment methods such as quizzes and written exams can be retained but with greater emphasis on higher order thinking questions. For each of the assessment methods chosen, proper justification has to be given. This can become an important document along with the course plan for the course. At the second stage, this document is made available to students and industry personnel to invite their suggestions. When students are made part o f the design of the assessment methods itself, their interest in the course is expected to increase even before the course is taught. The student will most likely begin to see the faculty as a facilitator o f effective learning. The involvement o f industry personnel at the stage o f design o f assessment methods will add lot o f practical values to impart necessary skills in students to improve their employability. It is better to include assessment by industry personnel as one o f the mandatory assessment methods, atleast for those courses which are most important from the employability perspective.
