3. Hands-on-education
_________________________________
Studies have proved that students learn best and remember the learning when they are encouraged to actively explore, experiment and work out demonstrable solutions to problems. Hands-on education challenges bright students to achieve more and helps struggling learners to find new ways to master and apply complex concepts in life. It also sparks the love of learning, develops skills and the confidence to tackle the unknown, which is what the real world is mostly about.
In each course students will spend between 20 to 35% of their total hours in laboratory exercises, experiments, project work, structured industry visits and internships.
To give you an idea how we have integrated the concept of hands-on or experiential learning into our programme, here are some examples: IT students could work on a project that involves the design of various utility software, the business management students are responsible for arranging various kinds of events both academic & cultural an event coordinators & also helps in gardening and hospitality management students are responsible to handle the front desk, monitoring & servicing the foods in cafeteria which would involve hands-on skills, helps to uplift them at society.
The communication skills course, on the other hand, will involve a mandatory practice in the Language Lab, where students will be assessed based on their skills. They would work on improving their communication and body language skills. We have various types of activities in experiential learning at GGI; All these are with one common goal which aims at providing a “hands-on” experience outside of the classroom.
Each course offered by GGI has clearly documented and mapped learning outcomes, which encourage faculty to stick to one teaching plan for the semester and deliver a high standard of performance. The course teaching plans are shared with students at the beginning of the course, so that they know what to expect, and can plan and pace their learning, and take advantage of the flexibilities built into the academic structure.
Following are some of the learning activities in brief:
Tutorials
Tutorials are small group teaching methods that provide opportunities to the students to discuss, debate, quiz and revise their understanding of various subjects with their classmates. At their evening study hours a teacher is assigned to asses them as a group. The students are free to express their doubts in these classes. The teacher concerned clarifies their doubts in simple and best possible methods.
The main objective of counselling & mentoring is to help out each student in taking right decision for their academic and personal growth. In addition, counselling & mentoring will help boost students’ morale and improve their learning abilities. Each faculty acts as a counsellor in the counselling & mentoring process. Each counsellor is responsible for guiding about 20 students of a class. The faculty listen to their problems both academic and personal which hinder their learning abilities. In the counselling cum mentoring sessions, students raise their difficulties/problems regarding academics/general facilities/hostel facilities with their respective counsellors. The counselling & mentoring coordinator examines their problems and discusses with the director to find a better solution for their grievances.
Continuous Assessment helps in improving student’s performance by identifying his/her learning difficulties at regular time intervals right from the beginning of the academic session and employing suitable remedial measures for enhancing their learning performance.
Mid semester tests, Class Tests, Presentations, Quiz’s, Lab Viva Voce, Project reports, debates, Regular student feedbacks are used as tools of Continuous Assessment
The objectives of the Continuous Assessment are : -
To develop affective skills & to lay emphasis on thought process and de-emphasize on memorization.
- To make evaluation an integral part of the teaching-learning process.
- To use evaluation for improvement of students' achievement and teaching
- learning strategies on the basis of regular diagnosis followed by remedial measures.
- To use the evaluation as a quality control devise to raise standards of performance.
