Teaching Methodology
Teaching Methodology
The term teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used for classroom instruction. Teaching methodology can be organized into two major parameters: a teacher-centered approach and a student-centered approach.
At MBA@KIOT we focus on conceptual clarity, experiential learning and the ability to apply the concepts learnt in real time situations through case studies and Business simulations. This paves way for students to be nurtured as an efficient manager. The teaching learning process is carried out by resourceful faculty team with varied expertise that has imbibed rich cumulative academic and industrial experience. The persistent and enduring academic rigor is inculcated in each student which elevates them to be a dynamic manager.
Some of the methodologies adopted by us are listed
Activity-based learning:
Activity-based learning is the process of learning by doing. As opposed to asking students to simply listen and take notes, activity-based learning encourages students to actively participate in their own learning experience through practical activities such as problem-solving and independent investigation.
By encouraging students to explore experiment and learn independently through activity-based techniques, KBSS equip students with skills in problem-solving, critical analysis and creativity.
We offer interactive learning forums based around:
• Exploration – gathering knowledge and acquiring skills through active investigation.
• Experimentation – gathering knowledge through experience.
• Expression – encouraging to express their views through presentation.

Group Activities:
Student’s interactions and discussions with fellow classmates allow the group to construct new knowledge, place it within a conceptual framework of existing knowledge, and then refine and assess what they know and do not know. Group activities create more opportunities for critical thinking and can promote student learning and achievement. Group activities gives students the opportunity to engage in processing information, evaluating and solving problems, as well as management skills through the use of roles within groups, and assessment skills involved in assessing options to make decisions about their group’s final answer.
Seminar:
A seminar presentation brings out the inner confidence within the student which results in the outcomes including improving communication skills, gaining expert knowledge, and renewing motivation
Peer Learning:
Peer learning refers to students learning with and from each other as fellow learners without any implied authority to any individual, based on the principle that Students learn a great deal by explaining their ideas to others and by participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers
Experiential Learning:
One of the more truly immersive teaching methods is experiential learning. This method allows students to operate within a specific topical area as real time market survey and entrepreneurship classes. Also, many internship programs fall into this category. This method is all about learning while doing, At KBSS this trend that continues to grow.
Real Time Projects & Assignments:
Real time projects & assignments type of learning is an instructional approach designed to give students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through engaging projects set around challenges and problems they may face in the real world.
Case Discussion:
Case studies are used as a tool to facilitate learning on the part of the student by the faculty in the session. Case studies portray real life situations involving decision making by participantson either a set of questions or through an open-ended discussion in the classroom.Usually case studies are presented in a session by dividing the Participants into groups. Thisenables the Participants to have a thorough analysis and understanding of the case.The case study format involves a professor leading students through a historical analysis of a business situation. Cases are commonly used as the driver for interactive classroom discussions and there is an expectation of strong class participation from all students.
Field Exercise:
Field exercise refers to any component of the curriculum that involves leaving the classroom and learning through firsthand experience. Most instructors incorporate fieldwork to help students understand theory, develop skills, integrate knowledge, build implied knowledge, develop meaning in places, and work with peers.
Movie Review:
The objective of this movie review activity for MBA graduates is to enhance their critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills by evaluating a movie from a business perspective. This activity will also encourage teamwork and collaboration as participants discuss and debate their views.
Outbound Training:
Outbound training focuses on team building, leadership development, and effective communication. It aims to enhance problem-solving, decision-making, and time management skills. Additionally, it emphasizes conflict resolution and trust building among peers. The outcomes include increased self-awareness, improved interpersonal relationships, heightened confidence, and a sense of accomplishment. These experiences offer valuable insights applicable in their future managerial roles and professional settings.
Business Simulation:
Simulations are probably one of the least common, but still prevalent, teaching methods. This teaching method primarily uses technology recreations of common business scenarios. One of the most popular is the simulation used in marketing strategy courses. The teaching methods at KBSS are as diverse as the programs.
Group Discussion:
Group discussion (GD), by asset of the term, means exchange of views by participants on a given subject. The whole idea is to bring together a set of people on a common platform to share their ideas, thereby giving an opportunity to exhibit not only their knowledge, but also to understand and enhance their learning by absorbing the thoughts of other people.
Industrial visits:
The objective of an industrial visit is to provide an insight regarding internal working of companies. We understand that theoretical knowledge is not enough for a successful professional career. With an aim to go beyond academics, industrial visit provides students a practical perspective of the work place. It provides an opportunity to learn practically through interaction, working methods and employment practices. It gives an exposure to current work practices being taught at college. Industrial visits provide an excellent opportunity to interact with industries and know more about industrial environment.
