methods in Teaching and Learning are clearly elucidated both in our Department Records and on
the Institute Website for peer review and critique. Our work is opened to be enhanced or
reproduced.
Some of our inclusive ways are listed below:

1. Mind Map
2. Flipped Class Room
3. Activity based Learning
4. Learning by Doing
5. Digital Library
6. Content Delivery by Official College Website
7. Reproducibility of Ph.D. Work
8. Strategic Lesson Plan
9. Life Skills at ISTS
10. NPTEL and other Online Learning
11. Methodologies to Support Weak Students and Encourage Bright Students
  
Below are the Short Descriptions on above Innovative means in Teaching and Learning:

1. Mind Map:
A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind map is
hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole. It is often created around a
single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated
representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are
connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those.

Objectives:

1. To generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing
information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.
2. To help students with critical and creative thinking and improve their problem-solving ability at
the same time.
Outcomes:
3. The study ability of both students and faculty will get accelerated by improving and enhancing
their retention with the combination of photography and information.
4. Problem Solving ability of students will get improved.

2. Flipped Classroom:
A flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning, which
aims to increase student engagement and learning by having students complete readings at their
home and work on live problem-solving during class time. 
It moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered
homework, into the classroom. In a flipped classroom, students watch online lectures, collaborate
in online discussions, or carry out research at home while engaging in concepts in the classroom
with the guidance of a mentor.
 Student delivering content through flipped class
Objectives:
1. To promote flexible learning among students.
2. To facilitate increased engagement between students and faculty.
3. To provide prompt and timely feedback to students based on their out of class assessment
performance.
Outcomes:
Resonate well with those who are high performers and those who tend to underperform.Enhance
Faculty interaction with students by scheduled class meetings for dialogue.

 3. Activity Based Learning:

Activity method is a technique adopted by a teacher to emphasize his or her method of
teaching through activity in which the students participate rigorously and bring about efficient
learning experiences. Learning by doing is the main focus in this method. Activity based learning
is imperative in successful learning since it is well proved that the more the senses are
stimulated, the more a person learns and longer he/she retains. Activity based learning includes
Gamification, Role plays, Skits, Debates, Group Discussion, Participation in Seminars/
Workshops.

9 Life Skills at ISTS

At International School of Science and Technology, we are imparting skills (life & professional
skills) to the students through Experiential Learning/ Activity Based Learning methodologies.

 Life Skills are those skills which enable an individual to be more competent in dealing with the
day to day challenges in a positive way.
 Essentially, these skills must be acquired by observing, doing, feeling and thinking for effective
learning, retention and future application.

 Professional skills are the core specialization skills and refers to Technical Skills/ Management
Skills/ Pharmaceutical Skills, etc.

 Along with good technical understanding and subject knowledge, employers often outline a set
of skills that they want from an employee. The skills like Working in Teams, Problem Solving,
Self-Management, Organization Behavior, Literacy and Numeracy relevant to the post, ICT
Knowledge, Good Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Ability to Use Own Initiative and as
well to follow instructions and Leadership Skills are necessary.

 UNICEF defines Life Skills as Behavior Change or Behavior Development Approach designed
to address the balance of three areas – Knowledge, Attitude & Skills and they lead to Outcome
Based Education System which is very much different from Traditional Education System.

 Life Skills are essentially those abilities that help to promote physical, mental and emotional
well-being and competence to face realities of life.

 WHO also defines Life Skills as ‘abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable
individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life’.

 Life Skills bring greater acceptance, better relationships and a healthy, positive life and enables
individuals to translate knowledge (what one knows), attitudes and values (what one believes and
feels) into actual skills/ abilities/ actions (what to do and how to do it?).
Objectives:
1. To promote confidence and well-being in young people and adults.
2. To make students more assertive, communicate effectively with others by developing good
listening skills and learn to handle stress and deal with disappointments and setbacks.
3. To explore student’s beliefs and attitudes through group discussions and confidence building
techniques such as positive visualization.
4. To play to their strengths by engaging in creative activities and following a healthy lifestyle.
Outcomes:

10 NPTEL AND OTHER ONLINE COURSES

 The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was initiated by
seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati
and Roorkee) along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2003. Five core disciplines
were identified, namely, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and 932
courses in web/video format were developed in this phase.

The objective of enabling students obtain certificates for courses is to make students
employable in the industry or pursue a suitable higher education programme. Through an online
portal, 4-, 8-, or 12-week online courses, typically on topics relevant to students in all years of
higher education along with basic core courses in Sciences and Humanities with exposure to
relevant tools and technologies, are being offered. The enrolment to and learning from these
courses involves no cost. Following these online courses, an in-person, proctored certification
exam will be conducted and a certificate is provided through the participating institutions and
industry, when applicable.
Use of the NPTEL Course/Certificate

 ISTS is actively encouraging faculties and students to attend NPTEL courses.

 Many students are using these to prepare for GATE exams and higher studies too.

 20% of the applicants is faculty members in various colleges across the country. The advanced
courses are being recommended to AICTE to be approved as Faculty development programs
(FDP) so that they can get the points for the same.

11 Methodologies to Support Weak Students and Encourage Bright Students:
Mentor dairies have been maintained by the department for all the students. Faculty have
been assigned to completely monitor students and take the necessary actions. The Counsellors
regularly conduct meetings regarding progress of their mentees and are responsible to identify
 students who scored less than 50% marks in their internals. Under the HOD’s direction, the
Student Counsellors evaluate the progress of those students who score below 50% marks in three
or more subjects. They are considered as academically weak students and same is alsointimated
to their parents. For each student one dairy along with the previous internal and external marks
allotted is maintained also necessary measures are taken if they secure less marks and
counselling is given to score more in the next exams.

Objectives of Mentoring System:

The scheme is adapted for the value additions to the students like:
 Bridging the gap between the teachers and students.
 Creation of a better environment in college, where students can approach teachers for both
educational and personal guidance.
 Enhancement of knowledge base for both teachers and students alike, due to effective two-way
communication.
 Awareness and support to students for GATE, GRE, CAT, ISRO, SAIL, NAL, HAL, NTPC,
BSNL, DRDO, BARC, and other Govt. & PSUs examinations.
 Motivation for higher studies and entrepreneurship.
 Advice and support for improvement in academic performance.
Outcomes of Mentoring:

 Regular meetings are held between mentor and mentee.

 Each mentor has been allocated with a number of 15-20 mentees.

 A mentor diary is maintained for each student.

 The mentor diary has both personal and academic data.

 Students are allowed to approach the mentor for both academic & personal problems.

 Personalized professional /career advice is given to the mentee.

5.5.InnovationsbytheFaculty in Teaching andLearning

 Faculty members provide quality study materials to enrich students.

 Mode of teaching in this institute is not only limited to the traditional Chalk & Talk
methods, but also an amalgamation of the modern technology (e.g. power point
presentation, audiovisual teaching etc.) with the traditional one.
 Faculty shares the study materials among the students via e-mail, websites, hand-outs etc.
 The biggest resource for self-learning is obviously the college library. The college library
not only possesses plenty of books to meet the students’ syllabus-oriented needs, but it
also houses numerous books by eminent national and international authors on a variety of
topics which students may regularly access to sharpen and broaden their knowledge. The
library also possesses a number of magazines and periodicals related to different branches
of science and technology which the students may readily access.
 The library also subscribes to a host of online and printed journals which are also made
readily available to the students.
 The library also includes a computer room with internet access which is often used by
students to access various forms of e-materials for their self-development.
 Students are encouraged to visit NPTEL lectures, browse different internet sites to
increase their knowledge base about the subject. Moreover, through these activities
students acquire relevant knowledge which is beyond the syllabus as per the university
curriculum.
 This apart, students are also endowed with various resource materials by the teachers for
their self-development and they are also encouraged by them to participate in various
competitions of technical innovations for which again they have to participate in
innovative thinking and experimentations.
 The Tech-Fest organized by the college also serves to create opportunities for students’
self -development based on extra-syllabus technological knowhow.
 The Department of Humanities regularly organizes Soft Skill classes for various
departments, based on availability and requirement, to enhance the students’
communication skills, grooming and body language to equip them for the professional
world.
