Dr. Gajanan V. Madiwal, Ph.D
Abstract:
In India, as per the guidelines of the University Grant Commission all the Assistant Professors shall undergo minimum four (one Orientation and three Refresher Courses) training courses during their career period to get qualified for status and pay scales. The present study is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the training courses, trainers’ competency and the course contents taught during the course period. The required data and information were collected from the teachers, who attended the training courses in various Staff Academic Colleges at different universities. The opinion survey of Orientation Courses, which consists of multi-discipline subject trainers and multi-discipline participants revealed distorted results towards the effectiveness of training. The outcome of survey gave mixed response,hence, one can not give exact judgement about the competency of trainers and subjects taught by them. The perception of Assistant Professors towards the first and the second Refresher Courses expressed by the participants observed to be more genuine and balanced, especially the experience shared by the teachers trainees of the third Refresher Course.
Key Words: Training Effectiveness, Perception, Orientation, Refresher, Education.
