Pedagogic Approaches
Behind the choice of pedagogic methods at IIE lies an important conviction
that can best be expressed by the following three propositions
- The learning experience must result in the enhancement of the capabilities
of the individuals for actual practice
- Professional life cannot be devoid of values and social responsiveness
- The knowledge seeker must own up the process of education and must
accept responsibility for professional growth and development.
Classroom Learning
|
This is a methodology meant primarily for theoretical and conceptual input
of knowledge, and consolidated by combining "lectures" with group learning
and the case method.
|
|
 |
The sessions are interactive, encouraging the participants
to explore new ideas beyond those enshrined in the books.
The ambience thus created makes each session an enriching learning experience.
Based on the trimester pattern, the curriculum has been made dynamic by
integrating leading edge teaching material from institutes and universities
of national as well as international repute.
Learning Aids
|
Books and periodicals from national and international sources, which represent
state-of-the-art theoretical input, further complement classroom lectures.
Emphasis is given to audio-visual aids, use of latest software packages and working extensively
|
|
 |
on the internet as a contemporary learning medium.
Eminent personalities from diverse areas of specialization will be regularly
invited to instill in the participants the practical managerial insights.
Group Learning
Specially developed by IIE, and a prominent constituent of the pedagogic
approach, this learning method is based on the assumption that peer group
learning is very effective in comprehending issues, to which individual
effort often succumb.
It prepares prospective entrepreneurs to be proactive in seeking and acquiring
knowledge, rather than having it "imparted" in the classroom.
Free exchange of ideas among members of each group through discussions
and presentations not only leverages on time and effort, but also enhances
teaching and communication skills besides inculcating the virtue of self
study.
Operational Projects
The project work undertaken in the final trimester provides a sharper
focus, allowing customization to an individual's specific area of interest
through the concept of a bankable project report. The participants work
on projects for a period of three months and on completion of the project
report they are required to make a presentation to eminent personalities
from various resource organizations like banks, financial institutions,
NEDFi etc…to name a few.
