Pedagogy is an essential component of any educational institution ranging from pre-school to higher education. Pedagogy is being used interchangeably with teaching strategies, teaching methods and so on, however it has a comprehensive and complex nature all together. Teachers teaching at higher education (except teacher education) in India do not get any education/training regarding pedagogical practices and focus is more on content delivery that does not cater the needs of the learners with reference to their personal and social diversity. This creates immense scope to do research in this field of inquiry. In the given context, the present work is the outcome of a project funded by Institute of Eminence, University of Delhi, India. The present research is organized in two phases. During the first phase, existing scenarios and teachers’ perspectives on pedagogy in higher education are explored with the help of interviews. The collected data is analyzed thematically where the prime objective was to locate the concerns, challenges, issues and possibilities with regard to pedagogical practices in higher education. During the second phase of the project framework of pedagogy in higher education is developed on the basis of experiences shared by university teachers, possibilities located after analysis of data and available discourse on pedagogy. 25 Teachers (random sampling) from 5 government universities from North India were included in the research. The developed framework got validated by the experts of the field and shared with the participants for member check process.
