Abstract

In higher education, student learning outcomes is essential and it can be possible only with quality teaching and learning. A range of challenges are there to address for fostering quality teaching in higher education institutions. In fact higher education is coming under tremendous pressure from different directions. It is the need of the hour that the institutions ensure that the education provided by them meet the expectations of students and the needs of the employers. Bottom up practices and innovations are required in teaching and learning for making institution wide vision and strategy fit to the needs and missions of the institutions and stakeholders. Leadership, collaboration and plan are required to address tensions between innovators and the people who are unwilling to change in order to develop the effective pedagogical practices in institutions.
