61. The Academic Approach should be “work centric”
Learner should begin with work (and not from a book !),
derive knowledge from work and apply that knowledge
to make the work more wholesome, useful and
delightful.
Academic Approach

62. The ultimate objective should be to empower the learner to
engage in socially useful and productive work.
It aims at leading the learner to his/her roles, rewarding
career as well as development of the society.
Academic Approach

63. Academic Approach ..
Learners are given an overview of the course and its connection
to life and work.
Learners are then exposed to the specific tool(s) used in the
course through the various real-life applications of the tool(s).
Learners are then acquainted with the careers and the hierarchy
of roles they can perform at workplaces after attaining
increasing levels of mastery over the tool(s).

64. Learners are then engaged in appreciation of real-life case
studies developed by the experts.
Learners are then encouraged to proceed from
appreciation to imitation of the experts.
Academic Approach ..

65. Academic Approach ..
After imitation experience, they are required to improve the
expert’s outputs so that they proceed from mere imitation to
emulation.
Finally, they develop the integral skills involving optimal methods
and best practices to produce useful outputs right from
scratch, and thereby proceed from emulation to self-
expression.
