7.3 Best practices

Best Practice 1

1. Title of the Practice: Faculty Flair Club

2. Goal

• To encourage and motivate faculty to have a class of learning using interactive methods leading to motivation and nurturing various skills in the students.

• To increase the attendance, interest and involvement of students in the class.

3. The Context

Faculty forum is where the entire faculty comes together for discussion on the various methods carried out in the class.

Criterion VII


Over a period of time it is observed that, students are finding less interest in studies and lectures. They prepare only for scores and are not clear with the concepts. Faculty has to strive a lot to get students involved in the class for better learning. To find out a way for student’s involvement in the class interactive sessions are planned which helps the students for conceptual learning. This interactive way or the new method adapted for teaching in the class if shared with other faculty would help them to plan in the same for their relevant topics; as well the faculty would get suggestions for more précised output from the other faculty. Faculty plans to conduct the topic in an interactive way where students are involved in the process of teaching and learning. Faculty has to work for this in a different way than traditional process, to involve students who are having different skills. Faculty of the Institute come together in this club and few of them present the type of interactive method used in the class.

4. The Practice

Each faculty during preparation of the lesson planning plans interactive techniques for teaching a topic which deeply involves the students in the teaching learning process. Faculty has to make students understand the topic with the help of an interactive method which needs to be discussed later with question answer session in the class to know the understanding level of the students. Once the class is completed with an interactive technique, the faculty presents it in the Faculty Forum. Faculty Flair Club schedule is planned at the start of the every semester. At the start of the semester, Principal along with the HoD decides the faculty who will be presenting the interactive ways used in the class in each Faculty Flair Club. This is scheduled every fortnight in seminar hall where entire Institute faculty gather and as per the schedule faculty presents the interactive method used in the class by them. This presentation is not about the content of the topic rather it discusses the method used for the content of the topic. Each faculty is given 10 minutes for the presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion. After each presentation all the faculty discuss about the presented interactive technique which includes few suggestions on the method and even other methods which could be used for the topic. This discussion also includes question answers if any.

5. Evidence of Success

• Student’s involvement: Various interactive methods used during the class create an enthusiasm in the students leading to greater involvement of the students in the class. The performers involved during the interactive session are attentive but the others pay attention to understand, to notify, to discuss, to

Criterion VII


challenge ultimately leading to their involvement in the class. This type of class is seen to have more discussions finally helping the students to understand the topic conceptually.

• Academic results: Since students were involved during the class, it is observed that they could retain the topic and easily explain the concept during the exams. This has helped students to overcome the fear of oral and multiple choice exams.

• Confidence: Students get involved in the teaching learning process and feel free to communicate which ultimately boosts their confidence.

• Team work: Since students are involved during the interactive classes they had to work with the faculty prior and during the class. The team involved is personally guided by the faculty instilling the team work spirit.

• Bonding: This involvement of the students leads to a closer bonding between the teacher and the student, amogst the peer students for academic discussions as well as personal matters.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

• To decide an appropriate activity for a topic. • More time to prepare for the class. • Time bound completion of the activity. • Involve students and make them volunteer to participate in the activity. • Getting observer’s response. • Collecting the resources, if required for the activity.

7. Motivation:

One best performer of the Faculty Flair Club is identified and given a Certificate of the performer of the Faculty Flair Club.

Best Practice 2

1. Title of the Practice: Faculty Industry Synergy

2. Goal

• To give industrial exposure to the faculty. • To have a market-driven approach to higher education.

3. The Context

There is a huge gap between the needs of the industry and academics. Academicians always have a strong feeling that the basic concepts will help the students to survive and solve the problems of the industry. However the industry sector believes that only basic concepts will not help the students to solve the

Criterion VII


problems rather they should be supplemented with few practical applications to have an expertise solution. Hence it is much needed for a faculty to know the recent developments in the technology and work culture adopted in the industry.

4. The Practice

After completion of the semester, few of the faculty from department is deputed to the relevant industries for a specified tenure. The industries are identified quiet in advance and communication is developed with them. They are communicated regarding this faculty sabbatical and after consent from the industry and Principal the concerned faculty is deputed to the industry. After the completion of deputation, the faculty has to submit a report of the activity carried out at the industry. The faculty shares his experiences and the current trends with the colleagues at the Institute. This faculty keeps association with the industry to arrange industrial visits, get experts for lectures, get sponsorship for projects and helps the students to have industrial trainings and employment at the industry.


• Association with industry has increased. • More real time projects are completed. • Consultancy is increased. • Establishment of Center of Excellence at the Institute.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

• To make a faculty free for the industry exposure. • Faculty cannot avail vacation. • Identifying a relevant industry for a specific subject. • Good relations with the industry.

7. Motivation

• Exposure to industry. • Association with industry.

Best Practice 3

1. Title of the Practice: Buddy System

2. Goal

• To increase academic interaction amongst the students. • To help slow learners with special aids from the colleagues.

3. The Context

Criterion VII


Academic varieties of student’s create learning disparity in the class and hence faculty needs to maintain conducive environment in the class which will create easy academics breathing for each student in the class. A teacher always motivates, encourages and guides student to excel in academics; but these efforts if done by the peers surely makes a difference in each students attitude. The fast learner grows by sharing his capabilities whereas the slow learner grows by the direction of his peers. This way a peer buddy can help the other who has difficulty in academics and seems to have lot of attention. It is also a nice way to give the students the experiences in learning of how to work together, how to compromise, and ways to teach others of how to learn.

4. The Practice

After academic analysis or result analysis students are categorized as fast learners and slow learners in each semester. Group of fast and slow learners is made wherein one fast learner is grouped with 2 slow learners. This group is made for a particular course. Slow learners for a course can be fast learners for other course in that group. These groups are formed by the concerned course faculty. Fast learners are motivated and directed to guide the slow learners. Fast learner is the buddy for that group. Slow learners are encouraged to approach the buddy and work with him.


• Bonding between students. • Good collaborative notes. • Unity in the class.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources required

• To have harmony between the formed group. • Domination by the students. • Identifying a group of appropriate students. • Result analysis. • Academic analysis of students.

7. Motivation • Appreciation from the faculty. • To help colleague for his academic difficulties.
