Technological Courses with Active Learning
Tactics

Abstract: One amongst innumerable deeds of Almighty
is hominid due to its learning abilities. The main potential of
learning is to acquire knowledge from different sources and
apply it on real world applications. Learning is a technique of
knowledge achievement and applying this knowledge over several
application domains. This knowledge can be assimilated both by
means of passive learning and active learning. Since many years
traditional or passive learning played a prevailing role due to
direct interaction of faculty and learner. Unfortunately these type
of learning fails to attain the objectives of all the modern
technological courses. This paper tries to demonstrate the
learning methods like traditional and active which can conceive
the outcomes of the courses as per the accreditation bodies. We
also focuses on the pitfalls of traditional learning can overcomes
by using active learning methods. In this paper we tried to focus
on numerous active learning methods like class room
observations, thinking & sharing of considerable thoughts
among learners, Practical learning or achievements, brain
storming, problematic based & result based learning and others.
We tried to incorporate these learning methods both active &
passive type to technical courses like software engineering and
programming languages. The graphs are plotted after applying
these learning methods on these courses. We also present a
comparative study on how these active learning strategies can be
beneficial in attaining the outcomes of National Qualifications
Framework under National Commission for Academic
Accreditations and Assessment accreditation body. This paper
can be very much beneficial for all educators to select
appropriate teaching strategies according to their courses before
its commencement.

I. INTRODUCTION
The various qualities which exist among qualified
learners like behavior, tractability, kind hearted, diplomatic,
governance and multitasking abilities. Among such qualities
talented & skillful training or teaching plays an important
role. This role makes the educator to deliver his knowledge
and gain experience to strengthen more for the said qualities
as discussed in [5] [3].

The strong impact of teaching will explore the qualities of
an educator on the learners. This exploration begins with
improving their knowledge, class room dynamism,
attentiveness towards solving the problems by various
approaches, Numerical abilities, reasoning & thinking
capabilities, relational & concerns, talkative and
presentation skills. These skills will have direct impact on
improving skills which are revealed by N.Q.F standards as
per N.C.A.A.A. unit [1]. Nevertheless various learning
mechanisms used extensively to achieve the mentioned
qualities by means of active learning stratagems. The main
objective of introducing active learning mechanism is to
strengthen the educator and learner interactions instead of
using unidirectional teaching by using chalk and board
especially traditional mechanisms. The main drawback
involved in this type of dependent teaching on educator
makes the student lack of analytical & critical problem
solving skills, lack of interactive nature, and lack of
exposure skills towards recent developments. Many
developments in the field of education demands to
incorporate the technology to reinforce the passive and
active learning mechanisms [4]. Span of years passes
together lots of developments carried out in improving
teaching and learning skills in order to meet the course
outcomes. These developments direct the active learning
methods which are appropriate according to the courses
especially modern technological courses. In the fourth
coming sessions we deal with how these active learning
mechanisms fulfill in attaining the course learning outcomes
in effective means. The traditional learning approaches
usefulness has imperfect functionality which fails to succeed
all outcomes. To overwhelmed these give & get policy the
concept of active learning got introduces for the learner’s
point of view as discussed in [2]. An active learning method
engages the learner in class room activities by involving in
both passive and active methodologies [3]. Active
mechanisms develop concerted skills, facing risks, develops
cognitive approaches, progress perilous thinking abilities,
rendezvous and involvements of the learners with educator,
creating responsibilities, social interactions, participation in
deliberations, comprehensive ideas, experimental
approaches and evolvement of interpersonal capabilities as
discussed in [1][3]. Maximum of courses associated with
engineering studies, applied sciences, medical studies,
technological related courses and experimental or case
studies involves complete active learning strategies. In the
below revealed sections we did an practical approach of
applying these active learning strategies & only passive
learning methods to course like programing languages and
software engineering.
