Outcome
Summary
On behalf of the department of CSE, Dr.Nisha Soms , welcomed the resource persons, Dr.Babu Rangarajan and Dr.Roja Rajamani, Clinical Psychologists, the pioneers in their field towards promoting and supporting good mental health and well being. Dr. Babu Rangarajan, started the session by questioning the need for this workshop and what type of challenges the members of the faculty face frequently. After further rounds of interaction, Dr. Babu Rangarajan highlighted that of the many challenges educators face, one of the most formidable and least obvious, is the student mindset. Teaching students to comprehend, absorb, and apply new material and concepts is challenging under many circumstances. The undertaking is much greater, when students doubt their ability to learn. Hence, to boost confidence in them, the teachers should create an energetic and enthusiastic learning environment. For this, every teacher needs to create a happy and meaningful environment by either conducting different styles of teaching or by simply organizing group activities to openly discuss and exchange their mindsets. In addition, Dr, Roja Ramani, pointed out various distractions that exist in today's generation. Hence, a teacher should be empathetic and emotional while talking to a student and should never be judgmental, says Dr. Roja Ramani. Dr. Babu Rangarajan, adds that, in the classroom, the teachers should strictly maintain professional behaviors and should be open to students' suggestions or doubts which would motivate him in the fact that he is being listened to or appreciated for his/her efforts. The session ended with vote of thanks by Dr. Nisha Soms.
