IMI Bhubaneswar puts the spotlight on Quality Teaching and Research with its Short Term Training Programme

The Short Term Training Programme (STTP) on Quality Teaching and Research organized by IMI Bhubaneswar was a resounding success with all participants. They had joined the AICTE sponsored programme held from 11th to 16th January with much enthusiasm and vigour to learn about new age pedagogies. The aim of the programme was to equip faculty members with skills to enable effective communications in classrooms and enhance student engagement. At the end of the programme, the participants walked away with insights and tools to accomplish that goal.

Prof. Ramesh Behl, Professor, Director, IMI Bhubaneswar set the tone for discussions to follow by outlining the desired outcomes of the endeavour. He highlighted the significance of adapting innovative pedagogies while staying rooted in research as he said, “A perfect teacher is one who has a blend of both; the passion to teach and the love for research.” The B School, one of the top PGDM Institutes in India, prides itself on its strong faculty team. The richly experienced faculty members held centerstage in sessions covering varied topics, offering crucial insights to participants.

The session on Teaching Pedagogy & Best Practices in Teaching saw engrossing discussions as participants expressed their opinions and had their queries answered. Sessions on Case Studies as an integral mode of learning received tremendous feedback. Prof. Rahul Gupta Chowdhury shed light on the Simulation method of Teaching using MarkStrat. What made the sessions truly invaluable was that they offered participants actual tips and tools like Sonites and Vodites, which are widely used in the education sector.

The STTP also scored by asserting the importance of understanding different learning styles and enhancing the classroom engagement of students. After all, the best teaching practices would be in vain if faculty members didn’t realize that different students have their varied needs and pace of learning too. Participants also benefited from the session on creating effective presentations for the classroom, which is a must-have skill for all faculty members. There was an animated discussion about animation tricks that can be employed to good effect for presentations.

Quality teaching cannot be separated from the research process, which is also integral to the learning experience for students. The STTP addressed the research problems right to their core while helping participants figure out ways to formulate questions, hypotheses and designs. There were sessions conducted to take faculty members through the steps ranging from data sources, retrieval tools, and research metrics to writing manuscripts for publications in International journals and referencing. Finally, the participants were assessed on their learnings and had the platform to offer their feedback on the detailed and comprehensive programme that had many takeaways.

Every moment in this life is different from the previous one. Man was the creator of civilizations . From the beginning of time it is established that “a man may die but his story remains; stories about his victories are talked about even after thousands of years, and the world remembers his name.” We may die young but our deeds(good or bad) remain, with it our name remain.
