ANDRAGOGY

The department emphasizes outcome-driven training as the pedagogy or method of teaching consisting of both synchronous and asynchronous approaches. The training is more focused on the learner, their abilities, skills, and interests.

In the five working days, two days shall be allotted for asynchronous learning and three days shall be for synchronous learning. The commonly used synchronous learning occurs in real time with the teacher, whereas the asynchronous learning occurs with the help of prepared resources, without real-time teacher-led interaction.

Asynchronous learning provides a student more time to reflect on their course topic and to enable them to critically assess various applications of their learning. Flipped classrooms with internship, community activities, extensions, outbound training, or projects are implemented to provide real-life experiences and to equip students to function effectively as a professional.
