My Teaching Philosophy

!  By varying nature, people are inquisitive. !  My role as a teacher is to monitor how students are building mental

models, by asking them questions about a computer program’s behavior in class and by conducting exams, and to help them repair misunderstandings.

!  Critical Thinking- think innovative ways to develop new technologies. !  Problem Solving- train them to solve real life problems.

!  As a facilitator- engaging students.

!  Theory of Computation (CE-902) !  VI Semester, Under Graduate Subject, Computer Engineering / Information

Technology !  Interesting to learn Various Algorithms related to represent languages

!  Finite State Machine (DFA, NFA, NFA with ϵ-­‐move) !  Context Free Grammar and Pushdown Automata !  Turing Machine

!  EDMODO – as LMS !  Course Planning

About Course

Active Learning One Minute

!  Topic – Introduction to Deterministic Finite Automata

!  Computer Engineering / Information Technology

!  Material Required – Student, questionnaire set

!  Time required – 5 min. !  Memorizing power !  It was difficult to prepare questions

that can be immediately and clearly comprehended and quickly answered

5 Min.

One minute. I asked students 1) “Why require theory for any kind of computation” 2) “What are the Industry value of this subject?” 3) “Which tool and software/ Hardware are affected at time of mathematical calculation? I gave students one or two minutes to write their responses. I gave students some time to discuss their responses with a classmate; students are often surprised to find that their perceptions are different, or similar, to those around them. Than i collected the responses and review.

Active Learning Think-Pair-Share

!  Topic – Deterministic Finite Automata !  Computer Engineering / Information

Technology !  Material Required – Student,

questionnaire set !  Time required – 25 min. !  It was little bit difficult to concentrate

on each group !  Activity took long time due to different

perception or understanding of each students

25 Min.   Think-Pair-Share  Whole class divided into no. of groups per group 4 members. Practice set of examples given to each group which listed below. Every group member first five minute solve each example individually then next five minute discuss their answer with in pair and last 5 min. share their answer with all group members and finalize answer of each question with all group members. During this activity i continuously monitor each group performance and tell them they are on correct track or not.  •  L= {w ϵ {0, 1} | all strings starting with 1 and ending with 0}.  •  L= {w ϵ {0, 1} | all strings ending with 10}.  •  L= {w ϵ {0, 1} | all strings contain 101 as substring}.  At last five minute one member of each group come on the stage and show their finalized answer.  Instructor give any suggestion at that time and solve any mistakes done by at that group.  

Active Learning Scenario Based Activity

!  Topic – If Else !  Mechanical Engineering !  Material Required – Student,

questionnaire set !  Time required – 25 min. !  Guiding each group was difficult.

60 Min.   Scenario Based Activity Mr.  Khan  wants  to  travel  from  Rajkot  to  surat  ,  he  has  three  op:ons,solveMr.  Khan  problem  of    choose    best  op:on  him  to  find  best  op:on  for  him  which  saves  his  :me  as  well  as  money.    1.  Travel  by  Car  speed  60  Kmph,  per  kilometer  charges  Rs.  6.5/-­‐      2.  Travel  by  Bus,  speed  50  Kmph,  Per  Kilometer  charges  Rs.  3.5/-­‐      3.  Travel  by  railway,  speed  70  Kmph,  Per  Kilometer  charges  Rs.  4.5/-­‐  

Collaborative Learning JIGSAW

!  Topic – DFA, NFA, NFA with ϵ-move, Regular Expression, Minimization of DFA

!  Computer Engineering / Information Technology

!  Material Required – Student, questionnaire set

!  Time required – 60 min. !  Instructions, rules and forming groups ! Assessment Rubric ! Grade Sheet

20 Min.   Starting Activity Question for group-1  write regular expression for language L = {x Є {a,b} | x ends with abb}

 Question for group-2  Draw NFA-Є for language L = {x Є {a,b} | x ends with abb}

 Question for group-3 Draw NFA for language L = {x Є {a,b} | x ends with abb}   Question for group-4 Minimize DFA for language L = {x Є {a,b} | x ends with abb}  They solved their part in group. i was floating around group to make sure students are participating.  

JIGSAW

!  Needed to instruct at each and every stage. !  It was little bit difficult to evaluate each group. !  Student Feedback

Technology In Class

! EDMODO – As LMS !  Videos !  Extension

! Codechef Campus Chapter

Assessment Test Paper Design

!  Designed for Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) !  Key Aspects Covered:

!  Reduce rote memorization !  Improves writing skills !  Critical thinking !  Multiple Part problem

Assessment Rubric Design

!  Topic – DFA, NFA, NFA with ϵ- move, Minimization of DFA. !  Activity – Transformation of Regular Expression into Minimized DFA !  Material Required – Group, questionnaire set !  Time required – 4 hrs. !  Advantages of current method:

!  More effective use of instructor’s and students’ time !  Develops collaborative working skills !  Student shows more interest to prepare model and demonstrate their skills

!  Analytical Rubric is prepared

Review on Transforming Education using m-Learning

!  In the growing field of Mobility and Mobile market, mobile devices and PDAs are the most essential gadgets. This smart devices are not only used for entertainment but also useful as smart learning activity.

!  m-Learning can be defined as a learning with smart mobile device at anytime and anywhere with personalized way.

!  m-Learning is essential for students, teachers, principal and organizers to learn, evaluate, assess and analyze the performance of students. m-Learning is the necessity for transforming education as it is used to bridge the gap between active learning and passive learning.

!  m-Learning also make learning collaboratively and retrieve feedback from other’s perspective.

Review on Transforming Education using m-Learning

Characteristics: !  m-Learning is anywhere, anytime and personalized learning. !  Easier to place numerous mobile devices in a classroom than

numerous desktop computers. !  m-Learning technique holds e-books and e-materials which are less

bulky and lighter than full of hard copy of books and files, print outs etc.

!  Helpful to increase self-confidence, self-respect and self-image.
