Abstract
In the modern era, the education system has undergone a huge paradigm shift. Traditional classroom teaching methodologies that used to work like wonder, no longer attract the students of the present generation. Higher education, especially, engineering education has been greatly impacted by this paradigm shift and things are rapidly moving away from traditional methods to more advanced and innovative active learning strategies. Collaborative Learning is one of the popular forms of active learning and caters to the needs of millennial learners of today. This study deals with the impact of Team-Games- Tournament (TGT), which is one of the Collaborative Learning techniques. The outcomes of this small experiment clearly show that when Collaborative Learning is leveraged well, it surely results in better learning among the students.
