7. INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
These are sample Strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various
course outcomes
1. Explicit instruction will be provided in intervention classes or by using different differentiation
strategies in the main classroom.
2. Lecturer method (L) does not mean only traditional lecture method, but different type of
teaching method and media that are employed to develop the outcomes.
3. Observing the way their more proficient peers use prior knowledge to solve current challenges
and persevere in problem solving will help struggling students to improve their approach to
engaging with rich contextual problems.
4. Ten minutes a day in homeroom, at the end of class, or as a station in a series of math activities
will help students build speed and confidence.
5. Topics will be introduced in a multiple representation.
6. The teacher is able to show different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the
students to come up with their own creative ways to solve them.
7. In a perfect world, teacher would always be able to demonstrate how every concept can be
applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it helps improve the students'
understanding. When a concept cannot be applied in that manner, we can still share how it
might be applied within mathematics.

1. RATIONALE
Innumerable logical and complex problems prevail in the real world which need quick and
accurate solutions at low cost. The examples include: Counting number of people entering
cinema hall; digital clock; playing video; phone call; transmission of document from one
place to other; searching your unique ID in Aadhaar database; withdrawing money from
ATM; booking railway ticket; and to check if a 25-digit number is a prime-number ornot.
Inherent mapping of real-world problems to digital domain, ability of electronic circuits to
process digital signals/binary signals and the support of Boolean algebra/relevant
mathematical theories for simplification of circuits and reduction of time-complexity have
made digital electronics the most suitable option for solving real-world problems. In fact,
digital electronics can provide solutions at electronic-speed and low-cost owing to the
enhancements in circuit design, fabrication technology and mass production. And the fact
that the hardware of computer is digital electronic circuits elucidates the relevance of
digital electronics and it learning. In this context, it is very essential to learn the basics of
digital electronics to be a competent electronics professional.

9. INSTRUCTIONALSTRATEGY

• Teachers are suggested to take measures to create interest and enhance learning confidence in
students.
• Teachers should give examples from daily routine/realistic/real-world as well as relate to
engineering/technology applications on various concepts and principles in each topic so that
students are made to understand and grasp the concepts and principles. Wherever applicable SI
units are followed.
• Demonstration can make the subject interesting and develop scientific temper in the students.
Student activities should be planned on all the topics.
• Theory - Demonstrate/practice-Activity approach may be followed throughout the course so
that learning may be outcome and employability based.
• All demonstrations/Hand-on practices are under simulated environment (may be followed by
real environment as far as possible).

MANDATORY STUDENT ACTIVITY: EACH STUDENT HAS TO SELECT ANY ONE OF THE LISTED

1. Students chose one thing to reduce at home each week and write journal entries about their
successes and challenges implementing the change. In class, they form groups and create
"Do You Know?" posters.
2. Students pretend they are architects, and come up with a series of design changes to make
their school more environmentally friendly. They then grade their projects according to a
rubric.
3. A presentation for Green Team Club members to introduce themselves and the purpose of
their club. They explain how to use their new recycling bins, in the classroom and in the
cafeteria.
4. Ever wonder what's in your school's waste? This hands-on activity helps students assess
their school's waste in order to think of ways to reduce it. The results can be incorporated
into the school's recycling plan.
5. How do we measure climate change? What activities contribute to climate change?

6. 6. Start a compost or worm bin. Composting is a hands-on way to learn about important life
science concepts such as ecosystems, food webs and biodegradation. Students experience
how worms and other decomposers recycle fruits and vegetable scraps into compost. Use
the compost in your college garden! Have green team students make up a skit and present
details about the new composting program to all classrooms. Have them make signs for the
bins (compost, recycle, and landfill), monitor the waste collection at lunchtime, cart the food
waste to the compost, and decide how and where the compost will be used.

7. Paint posters and decorate bulletin boards or the doors to the cafeteria with waste- free
lunch messages to announce or support a waste-free event, and have students vote for
their favorite poster.

8. Conduct a classroom audit to identify waste and look for ideas to reduce and reuse.
Empower the student to set goals, search for solutions and review progress.

9. Go on a field trip. Visit your local landfill, recycling center, or a nearby composing facility
where the students can see first-hand what is happening to waste, and learn about the
lifecycle of waste and its affect on the environment.

10. Home energy audit:Have students make a list of all the appliances and light bulbs in their
house. How much energy does their house use if all the lights are on for 4 hours per day? If
their appliances are on for 2 hours per day? How much energy could they save if they
switched to energy-efficient appliances or light bulbs?

11. Use recycled material in art projects:Recycled materials can make beautiful art projects
such as jewelry, planters, and bird houses. Incorporating materials that would otherwise be
thrown away into art projects can show your students how to find new uses for these items.

12. Life cycle :One way to show students what happens when you put something in the trash
versus recycling or reusing the object is to do a life cycle analysis. This is a flow chart that
shows the environmental impacts of an object, from extracting the raw materials to
decomposition and everything in between. When something is put in the trash instead of
being reused or recycled, the life cycle assessment will show a bigger environmental impact.

When something is reused or recycled, the environmental impact is less because raw
materials don’t need to be extracted to create something new.
