PEDAGOGICAL INITIATIVES & INNOVATIVE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESSES ADOPTED

Effective teaching often involves a combination of multiple methods that promote active engagement, critical thinking, and deep understanding. Apart from the regular teaching learning process, innovative pedagogical initiatives can bring drastic changes in it

Activities before adopting Innovative practices

• Preparing a proper course plan.
• Planning different Instructional methods including pedagogical methods to deliver the content for each hour.
• Searching online content that supports the syllabus.
• Mentoring students and making them aware of innovative practices.
• Grouping students for peer learning.
• Grouping students (Weaker and Brighter) for remedial measures.

Innovative Practices adopted

• Blended learning approach.
• Flipped classroom.
• ICT Enabled classes.
• Peer group learning.
• Seminar and Self-study.
• Real-world application.
• Case Study.
• Conducting viva /quiz.
• Using demos/Models.
• Group discussions.
• Modern tool usage-Simulation.

BLENDED LEARNING APPROACH

Along with normal lectures, students were complemented with online videos (NPTEL, YouTube videos), multimedia presentations, and recorded videos etc. This approach aimed to cater to diverse learning styles and provide students with a more holistic understanding of engineering concepts. It also helped students to learn in their own pace.

FLIPPED CLASSROOM

This innovative teaching approach reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content outside of the classroom and using class time for interactive, collaborative learning activities. The necessary reference material in the form of text, online links, etc was provided to them. Students were also asked to search and refer to different sources prior to attending the class. In the class, a numerical problem/ topic is chosen and students are asked to discuss and find solutions on the basis of learning they did. The teacher just played the role of motivator.

ICT ENABLED CLASSES

ICT-enabled classes refer to educational environments where Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and resources are integrated into the teaching and learning process. This can include the use of various technologies such as computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards, educational software, online resources, and internet-based communication tools. These tools are used to enhance the learning experience, support teachers, and engage students in more dynamic, interactive, and personalized ways. Power points and illustrative videos were used to deliver content to Students. Google Classroom & GOOGLE MEET classes were conducted.

PEER LEARNING

Peer learning refers to a collaborative teaching approach in which students work together to help each other understand the material. Teaching others requires students to explain concepts in their own words, which reinforces their own understanding. Students become active participants in their learning process, rather than passive receivers of information. Peer learning creates a sense of community, where students feel comfortable sharing ideas and asking questions without fear of judgment.

Group Learning

SELF-STUDY AND SEMINAR

Self-study encourages students to take responsibility for their learning by independently exploring and studying course material outside the classroom. This method promotes autonomous learning and self-discipline. Self-study requires students to plan their study sessions, set goals, and evaluate their progress. Students can focus on areas where they need more help, allowing for a more tailored learning experience. It allows students to study at their own pace and in their preferred environment, accommodating different learning styles and schedules.

REAL-WORLD APPLICATION

Students were given exposure to real-world applications. For example, industrial visits to substations provided students with real-world exposure to power system operations, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

CASE STUDY

Practical application of concepts in real-world scenarios was emphasized, encouraging students to develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking.

a) EET 301- Power system 1 - Case study

b) EST 130- Basic Electrical - Case study

CONDUCTING VIVA/QUIZ

Quizzes are conducted to reinforce conceptual understanding and encourage active learning.

USING MODELS/DEMOS

Models encourage students to actively participate in the learning process. Instead of passively receiving information, students interact with the model, make observations, and test hypotheses. These models help simplify complex concepts, foster problem-solving, and engage students in a more interactive and immersive learning experience.

GROUP DISCUSSIONS

A group discussion is a collaborative learning technique in which students or participants discuss a particular topic or issue in a group setting. This method encourages active participation, critical thinking, and the exchange of ideas among group members. It can be used in a variety of educational settings to enhance learning outcomes, build communication skills, and foster deeper understanding of complex topics.

MODERN TOOL USAGE

The use of modern tools enhances hands-on learning, effectively bridging theory with practical applications. Exposure to software like MATLAB Simulink and Electrical CAD enables students to simulate and analyze power system behavior in real-time, strengthening their conceptual understanding.
