In the traditional form of instruction, the teacher and pupil converse face to face. The discussion is started by the instructor, who generally discusses the material from the required textbooks. Many students might not find the concepts intriguing, which would reduce their ability to concentrate and pay attention in class. This makes learning challenging. A novel teaching strategy that allows pupils to learn a subject depending on their interests has been implemented in the classroom. With this approach, students apply their own hobbies to the subject they wish to learn. It focuses on interest-driven learn. This method focuses on interest driven learning where students apply their Personal interest to the subject they want to learn. A prime example of interest-driven learning is hobby-based learning. Modelling enthusiasm and making the topics relevant to their hobby would make the classroom student centric learning and interest driven learning where student would learn the topic self-directed, enjoy learning process, gain deeper insight on the topic and also develop their hobbies. Hence hobby-based learning was introduced to the classroom for the subject Automata Theory and Computability. A comparative study was made on analysis and data obtained from classrooms with hobby based learning and conventional learning handled by the same instructor on the subject Automata Theory and Computability where hobby-based learning gave significantly best feedback than conventional learning.
