Improvement of Student Learning Outcomes by Implementation of Model Making Approach for Student Evaluation

Abstract

There are various methodologies adopted for educational improvement. While looking at the conventional method of educational evaluation, there is quite lesser exposure to the practical implementation of the concepts which are taught in class during theoretical evaluation. To cope with this issue we have developed this method of evaluating the students based on designing and preparing the working model of the mechanism. This will help them to make use of the theoretical principles which they are studying for practical mechanism making and making working model from the same. It will ultimately enhance their skills while reducing the burden of coping up with large content of syllabus and even improving result as a whole. We implemented this method and ultimately found substantial improvement in the burden over students with corresponding improvement in the results while comparing the results of similar batch for other examinations, or comparing the results with previous batch of students.
