MAXIMIZING STUDENT SUCCESS THROUGH INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Rachna Somani

Introduction Student’s success is the most important

thing for an institute as it favours the growth of an Institute too. Thus the institute works for the growth and progress of the students.

Students need a learning environment that encourages success.

The structure of teaching may vary with the teacher’s style of teaching and her students’ needs.

Methodology Socrative Teaching in which the students

have to discuss and raise many questions.

The experiment was carried out with the aspects of chemistry dealing with the structures and nomenclature type of objective questions.

Response to the questions were quick as they were interested.

The students were divided further into four pools on the basis of answers given by them.

Results and Discussion The present study has two goals:- to

examine the potential difference between students and to compare how the different teaching methodologies affect students’ learning.

As expected, compared to the developing students , the brilliant students were more interactive and gave more in depth answers to the questions asked to them.

Conclusion This will examine the student’s learning

and academic attainments with the goal of improving academic achievements.

The sessions were promising primarily due to the presence of both curious as well as brilliant students in the group.

The sense of teamwork and competitiveness urged them to know and share the answers to enhance the performance.

When teachers SEE learning through the eyes of the student and when students SEE themselves as their own teachers, visible learning occurs.
