A Teaching Revolution

A Teaching RevolutionProject Proposal

Prepared by:•Donna •Bavani•Bala

Perception

• Conventional Teaching – Usage of tone and auditory function– Whiteboard Illustration– Power points– Tutorial Assessment– Assumption that the student is excellent auditory

and visual receiver

Challenges

1. Does not cater to a group of different modalities (Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic and Digital)

Challenges2. Current teaching methods are teaching

centered – Lack of task orientated learning3. Accommodate the generic learner 4. Students unable to develop skills – requires

task orientated learning not as much knowledge

Our Research from 3 classes

Auditory : 25% Visual : 23%Kinesthetic: 24% Digital : 28%

What can we learn from this survey?

• The student composition is mixed• One method of teaching is not effective• Catering to one group would affect the

others
