Not able to arrive at Effective Student Learning Outcomes is the single most important failure of educational system all across the world. Academics so far could not do a decent job on this count. Hence, education system could not deliver desired results. Gandhiji is the first person who could understand and fix right learning outcomes for education. His vision was.. Globe without UNEDUCATED. This vision can be achieved only through Gandhian learning model. Here is a PPT which provide an idea of what Gandhi imagined of Learning Outcomes.. NITIE Mumbai INDIA is one such institution where Gandhian model of learning is revived as modern educational system.

1. Student Learning Outcomes :
Gandhian way
Dr. PRASAD
Mumbai , INDIA

2. Conventional Student Learning Outcomes
(SLO) : What is wrong with them !
• Misunderstood
• Wrong Measures
• Wasteful Assessment
• Ineffective Learning

3. INEFFECTIVE SLOs : Select Examples.. !
• Students will be able to name major theorists and to define important
concepts in Sociology
• Students will use research methods to design and carry out research
projects
• Students will correctly apply appropriate statistical tests for analysis
of data
• Articulate and apply sociological imagination to make sense of
people’ s situations
• Identify situations of inequality and describe implications of potential
actions

4. Why and How ‘SLO’ is INEFFECTIVE ?
“ SLO : A student is be able to name major theorists and to define
important concepts in Sociology …
(Source: Assessment Quickies #2.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA0DeysBX7M)
This SLO is…………………
• Not Direct, hence need to be ‘ assessed ‘ !
• This outcome is only a conjecture . . . Yet to be proved ! !
• SLO has NO significant use to the student learner ! ! !

5. Out come means . .
Something that
COME OUT!!

6. Activity & what comes out !
• Bowling
• Batting
• Eating
• Driving
• Cooking
• Cleaning
- Wickets
- Runs
- Gaining Strength
- Distance Covered
- Dishes made
- Hygiene
•Learning - ?

7. EFFECTIVE SLOs . . . are
• OUTCOMES, RESULTS – Which are Direct, Visible, and Crystal Clear to
naked eyes
• Need NO special assessment / measurement
• ‘Pooled’, ‘Collected ‘and ‘ Counted ‘.
• Significant ONE ( NOT many, insignificant ones )
• ‘SMART’ ones
• Quite useful. Hence Stake holders seek them and love them

11. Gandhian approach to Effective Learning
• Learning is considered EFFECTIVE only when it help the student to
achieve Self reliance as the goal
• Effective Learning is …. Choosing the learning activity which enables
the student learner to achieve ‘Self Reliance’ as part of curricular
learning, hence deemed most appropriate
• Self Reliance and Effective Learning are two sides of the same coin,
mutually complementing, having ‘unison’ effect.
• Effective Learning is a matter of D E S I G N and followed by E X E C U
TION

12. Student Learning Outcomes : Gandhian
Model
• Gandhian Learning outcome is…
Achieving Self Reliance ( 1 ) ,
on daily basis ( 2 )
through application of ( 3 ) everyday learning ( 4 ) by the learner ( 5 ).
• Outcome of Self Reliance is Direct, Visible, and Crystal Clear to naked
eyes ( Need NO assessment )
• SMART in nature, Quite useful and students love it
• Outcome is ‘Pooled’, and ‘ Counted ‘,
• One Single outcome – But Substantially Significant

• NITIE Mumbai has developed and implemented several of the
pedagogical innovations on the lines of Gandhian Learning model.
