A great deal has been spoken and debated about the characteristics of
effective teaching and learning at college or universities. Much more focus has been
paid to attributes of a good teacher than to the leaner today. Though there are many
conferences and seminars deliberating on this important issue which affected thousands
of learners across the globe in terms of diversity, need and adequacy, yet it is still less.
Many approaches like cooperative learning, self directed learning, student centric
learning and teacher’s style have to be worked upon in depth to offer the advantage to
the learner. It is undoubtedly a complicated matter, there is no indication of one best
way to demand holistic understanding of the context and the learner’s needs and
challenges.
