Effective Strategies For Teaching And Learning In Large Classroom: A Qualitative Study Of Students And Teachers Perceptions At University Level

Abstract

This paper has studied good teaching and learning techniques in big classroom instruction in undergraduate level at a state-owned university in Lahore. Thematic analysis based on qualitative interviews with five teachers and three students showed four important strategies: engagement of learners, clear communication, classroom organization, and connection building. Engaging activities, real-life practices, application of technology, structured sessions, immediate feedback, and good teacher student relationship were found to play an important role in facilitating participation, learning and motivation. The results note that the student-centered techniques can be used to improve learning even in large classrooms.
