Knowledge guides to assume, use, adopt and control both physical and societal changes. Application of knowledge encourages critical or experimental understanding to constitute wisdom. The potentiality and usage of knowledge depend on upon the utilization of information. Higher education institutions have to ensure transmission and dissemination of information among students who aspires to take up social work as their career.

The teacher should make the teaching effective and interesting by adopting innovative pedagogy to facilitate learning in this subject. ‘Team Centric Exercise & Key Point Pedagogy’ a new learning Model for the slow learners in social work subjects is developed and presented in this research paper, named as ‘Pradeep consistent learning Model' which inter-link learning environment, pedagogy, and interest of learners thereby improve learning abilities of the average and slow learners consistently.
