Dr Vivek Tewary, Assistant Professor, Mathematics, SIAS and Sayantan Datta, Assistant Professor of Practice, Krea-CWP led a two-day workshop on ‘Strategies of Reading & Writing for Effective Teaching of STEMM Disciplines’ at GITAM Deemed to be University, Visakhapatnam.
In this interactive two-day workshop conducted through 27 and 28 February 2026, they discussed how STEMM faculty and research scholars can train themselves and their students to be more effective readers and writers in their disciplines. The workshop focussed on equipping attendees with the pedagogical skills required to enhance their students’ disciplinary engagement—by learning strategic classroom techniques for reading and writing as they play out in science disciplines. Sessions included Teaching Students to Read Scientific Texts/Papers, Reading Equations & Figures in Scientific Texts/Papers, Writing About Scientific Concepts, Using Worksheets as a Pedagogical Tool, Using Analogies & Definitions, and Integrating Reading-Writing in STEMM Curricula. The workshop was well-appreciated and attended by about 25 faculty and research scholars from mechanical engineering; electrical, electronic, and communication engineering; computer science engineering; life science; mathematics; and management sciences.
