Impact of Teaching Learning Process on Performance of Management Students

The teaching-learning process is a collective process in which instructor analyses and measures learning needs, outlines and forms learning objectives, and design new teaching-learning strategies to impart knowledge. The key purposes of the teaching-learning process are to encourage students for gaining more knowledge and to improve understanding of students about the topic, enhance talent and skills, and to shape attitudes and improve behavior. Management education in Kolhapur district has grown progressively over the last two decades, with several colleges and institutes offering courses such as BBA, MBA, BCA, and other professional programs. Collectively, there are about 15 management colleges in the district, with a total student strength of around 2,234 students. Many colleges use modern learning methods, some still depend on traditional methods of learning which are not sufficient to meet student’s expectations and which are not sufficient for students to achieve academic success.The findings of the study indicate that management students in the Kolhapur district require more creative, student-centered, and blended teaching methods to enhance their learning and overall performance. There is a need to strengthen student’s self-directed learning skills and offer better support in managing time and studies. The results reflect that students may benefit from a more balanced academic approach that supports both teacher-led and independent learning methods. Personal issues like health, financial condition, family support, and academic pressure have a strong impact on students' academic behaviour and performance. These challenges are not only common but also deeply felt, highlighting the need for emotional, financial, and academic support systems to help students perform better in their studies. Digital accessibility is not a major barrier for most students in the context of e-learning. Platforms like the Digital Library of India, SWAYAM, and e-PG Pathshala are actively used and considered helpful. Support from teachers and access provided by colleges also contribute positively to students’ digital learning experience. This suggests that digital education tools are well-received and have a meaningful role in enhancing learning outcomes. Regular attendance, timely completion of tasks, and effective study planning are areas where students seem to face difficulties. These findings suggest the need for better academic support, time management training, and motivation strategies to help students build consistent study habits and improve their academic discipline.
