On effectiveness evaluation of innovative teaching techniques-a case study in engineering education

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

The accelerated global competitiveness and rapidly increasing level of higher education have necessitated implementing innovative ways and novel techniques to facilitate teaching and learning in engineering education. This not only ensures better understanding and learning of the students but also saves time and efforts, and enhances the success rates to maintain high throughput. The present paper discusses the evaluation of the effectiveness of some innovative teaching and learning techniques in the form of feedback analysis of the students. Some innovative and emerging techniques such as mind mapping, flipped classroom teaching, digital stories, and problem and project based learning etc. have been used while teaching manufacturing system design subject. A feedback questionnaire with a total of fifteen questions on the effectiveness of the applied teaching and learning techniques was developed and distributed to the students for anonymous feedback. The analysis of the feedback revealed that almost 90 % of the students who participated in the survey agreed that the techniques benefited them intensively. A detailed quantitative analysis of the feedback is presented in this paper. The paper aims to promote these innovative teaching and learning techniques, and to encourage academic community to adopt these to further facilitate their students.
