Problem Based Learning - Student-directed Learning |
Attempts Are Made To Create Excitement In The Classroom Through Posing Problems Related To The Topic And Finding Solutions Thereby Presenting And Learning The Topic Which Ensures Students Do More Than Listening Through Active Participation. For Example, Question May Be Presented For The Students Like‘why There Is No Vaccine Available For The Treatment Of Aids?’ Such Question Compels Students To Take Active Participation In The Class Discussion And Creates Excitement Among Them.

Interactive Classrooms To Facilitate Spot Learning |
Students Don’t Sit And Take Notes Anymore. They Are Interacting On Mobile Devices, Tablets, And Laptops During Class. The Lecture Classroom Turns Into An Active Learning Center With A Lively Forum For Thought- Provoking Discussion, Personalized Learning, And Engaging Group Activities. With The Help Of Laptop And Projector, The Contents From The Syllabus Are Explained To The Students. The Students Thereafter Are Given A Battery Of Questions To Be Answered On Spot Which Facilitates Better Learning And Understanding Of The Topic Being Taught.

Focused Group Study |
Students Are Divided Into Specific Groups And Are Assigned Specific Topics Related To Curricular Learning. These Groups Study The Topics In Detail Through Library Books, Internet, And Library Journals. Thereafter, The Topics Are Discussed By Individual Groups In The Class And The Teacher Further Guides Them About The Specific Topic. The Group's Composition And The Group Discussion Should Be Carefully Planned To Create A Nonthreatening Environment, So That Participants Feel Free To Talk Openly And Give Honest Opinions. Since Participants Are Actively Encouraged To Not Only Express Their Own Opinions, But Also Respond To Other Members And Questions Posed By The Leader, Focus Groups Offer A Depth And Variety To The Discussion. Additionally, Because Focus Groups Are Structured And Directed, But Also Expressive, They Can Yield A Lot Of Information In A Relatively Short Time.
