Titled " Learning from Learner Insights” the interactive workshop led by Chief Counsellor Dr. Uma Warrier was aimed to help teachers understand the different learning styles and preferences of engineering students to implement a corresponding teaching approach.
Recently, a survey on learning preference of about 1000 engineering students was conducted using the "Index of Learning" method formulated by Richard Felder (used with permission). Similarly, another survey was conducted amongst the faculty members to understand their teaching preferences. This session was organized to understand and discuss the findings of the survey in detail and also to design a structure that will enhance the learning as well as the teaching experience.
The activity-based workshop used experiential learning technique by involving the faculty members in strategizing the teaching pedagogy for different streams of engineering, based on the key takeaways from the session.
