Developing Techno-Managerial skills through effective teaching learning practices for enhancing organizational performance and productivity – A critical review

Structured Abstract Purpose:This paper critically reviews the role of teaching, learning, and research practices in technical education in fostering the development of a knowledge society. The aim is to identify effective practices that enhance knowledge creation, dissemination, and application in technical fields, contributing to societal development. Design/Methodology/Approach:The review examines existing literature and case studies on innovative teaching methods, learning strategies, and research activities in technical education. It evaluates the impact of these practices on student engagement, knowledge retention, and the ability to solve complex real-world problems. Emphasis is placed on the integration of technology, interdisciplinary approaches, and industry-academia collaboration. Taking all these parameters into consideration, this paper suggests the role to be played by a teacher in today’s environment and as many as 22 successful teaching – learning strategies. Findings:The analysis is based on research activities that align with industry needs and societal challenges promote innovation and sustainable development. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient faculty development, and the need for continuous curriculum updates hinder progress. Practical Implications:Implementing best practices in teaching, learning, and research can transform technical education, making it more responsive to the needs of the knowledge society. Institutions must prioritize faculty training, infrastructure investment, and curriculum flexibility to achieve this transformation. Originality/Value:This review highlights the importance of a holistic approach to technical education, where teaching, learning, and research practices are synergized to contribute to the development of a knowledge society, addressing both academic and industry needs.
