Teaching-Learning Methods: Status, Roles and Expectations to Enhance Quality in Technical Education in Bangladesh

Abstract

This study has carried out to identify and measure the present situation of the teaching learning methods of technical education and the roles of teachers for continuous improvement of teaching learning method in Bangladesh. We have reviewed different literature related to our topic from different books, journals, articles and websites to study the necessity of our research work and previous study related to our topic. We believe that without quality in teaching learning method, it will be impossible to make our country as a developed one. We have collected data from principals, teachers and students of different technical institutions to know the status, roles and expectations of teaching learning methods in Bangladesh. The research area, covered by ten Polytechnic Institutions and two Engineering Colleges in Bangladesh is to know the actual scenario of the teaching learning method of the technical institutions. The data has been collected from 700 respondents. We have collected data from 153 students of EEE Department, 133 students from CSE Department, 126 students from CE Department, 52 students from Mechanical Engineering Department, 24 students from Architecture Department, 22 students from Power Department and the rest students from other Departments, 95 teachers and 12 principals. We have arranged eight focus group discussions (FGD) to identify the experts’ opinions and suggestions about our topic. Data are presented through tables and graphs by SPSS software and MS Excel. We have analyzed this data by SPSS software and found different aspects related to our topic. The status of teaching methodology is satisfactory but the teachers are overloaded. The roles of the teachers are remarkable though we need some training for the improvement of their quality. The regular classes should be conducted according to the class routine, the students should practice each instrument in practical classes and the practical classes should fulfil the current demand locally and globally. Finally, we have given some recommendations for the improvement of teaching learning methods of our technical education.
