The Teaching-Learning (TL) Maturity Model

© D M Dhamdhere, 2014

Parameters and Scale

• A 7-point scale for each parameter– Oblivious (0),

– Sparsely / Fully Aware (SA / FA: 1 / 2)

– Sparsely / Fully Enabled (SE / FE: 3 / 4)

– Sparsely / Fully Integrated (SI / FI: 5 / 6)

• Teaching scale– Aware: Aware of fundamentals of good teaching

– Enabled: Know active learning techniques and course planning

– Integrated: Practice active learning techniques and course planning

• Learning scale– Aware: Aware of fundamentals of good learning

– Enabled: Can learn effectively, if made to

– Integrated: Will automatically learn effectively

Parameters and Scale

• We would have to decide on the cutoffs for the sparse/full classifications for the awareness, enablement and integration parameters.

• Sample values

Sparse Full

Awareness 30-70% >70%

Enablement 30-70% >70%

Integration 20-60% >60%

TL Maturity Level

• The teaching-learning (TL) maturity of an educational institution is a pair: teaching level – learning level, where each level is in the 7-point scale

• TL Maturity level of the institution is indicated by lower number in the pair

Five-yearPlan !

Separate UG and PG maturity?

• In one year’s experience at FAC, PG students were seen to take more interest in knowing about effectiveness of learning– Hence higher maturity levels could be achieved for PG
