Quiz-Based Learning Model to Reinforce Conceptual Understanding and Exam Readiness

 

Objective: ·         To foster deep conceptual understanding of subject matter through structured, question-based assessments. ·         To promote teamwork, communication, and collaboration through group-based quiz formats. ·         To enhance students’ ability to think critically and respond accurately under time constraints. ·         To serve as an effective preparatory platform for academic and competitive examinations. Process: Round 1 – Technical Written Test ·         A pen-and-paper test comprising 20 questions from Basic Electrical Engineering. ·         Each question carries 1 mark (total: 20 marks). ·         Duration: 30 minutes. ·         No negative marking is applied. Round 2 – Rapid Fire Buzzer Round ·         Participants must press the buzzer to answer first. ·         The fastest responder gets the opportunity to attempt the question. ·         Encourages quick thinking and decision-making. Round 3 – Circuit Sudoku ·         A circuit puzzle is displayed via PPT. ·         Students must solve the puzzle within 1 minute. ·         Tests logic application and subject knowledge under pressure. Innovative Aspects: ·         Combines gamification with technical learning, making classroom assessments engaging and fun. ·         Use of buzzers and visual circuit puzzles brings a real-time competitive element to the academic setting. ·         Encourages collaborative learning through team formats, promoting peer interaction and support. ·         Breaks the monotony of traditional assessments and stimulates active participation. ·         Integrates both theoretical knowledge and hands-on circuit-solving in a time-bound format—mirroring real-world engineering scenarios. Impact: ·         Noticeable improvement in academic performance and assessment scores. ·         Students report enhanced confidence in tackling both theoretical and application-based questions. ·         Developed competitive spirit, teamwork, and faster recall skills, helping them in university exams and technical competitions.

Positive student feedback indicated high engagement and satisfaction with the learning process.
