Preference of Teaching-learning Mode of the Under-graduate Students of India in the Dawn of Adoption of the New Education Policy 2022: A Predictive Analysis

Abstract

The blended mode of education has been given due importance in the New
Education Policy 2022 to provide an adaptive and world-class education system to
the new-generation learners of post-pandemic India. However, there is a question of
infrastructural preparedness of the educational institutions as well as the mind-set of
the students to adapt to this new opportunity as well as challenge. In this connection,
the present study is an attempt to identify the probable decisive factors that contribute
towards the preference of an under-graduate student among offline/traditional mode,
online mode, and blended mode of teaching-learning, through the application of the
Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR) Model. Findings suggest that the choice of the
students primarily depend upon their stream of education and their inclination towards
technological awareness. The academic institutions can set up their infrastructure on a
priority basis and design their respective curricula accordingly.
