Institute of Education & Technology Enable Centre (TEC) Bundelkhand University, Jhansi Organizes Two Weeks Capacity Building Programme (CBP) For Young Social Science Faculty from January 16th -27th ,2024 Sponsored by Indian Council of Social Science Research
About the Programme
Indian traditional culture is known to have held teachers as highly respected and assigned education a high status but for some decades eroded values have changed the scenario. There is a strong need to restore the same high regard to the profession so as to inspire the best possible
future for our children and our nation. The most important factor in the success of higher education institutions is the quality and engagement of its faculty (NEP 2020). The NEP 2020 has recommended radical changes in the teaching learning process and the assessment system. The digital era demands a technologically competent teacher who can comfortably bring the advancements of technology in to the classrooms for better learning engagement and help the learner to compete with students from different nations. At the same time, the teachers need to improve their research potentialities for their own carrer progression as well as to attract improved institutional ranking and associated funding. Critical, relational, and reflective research in the frontiers of different academic domains with a strong footing in Indian culture and tradition is the need of the hour. In this context, a well-defined sequence of activities towards capacity building that contribute towards teaching, assessment, and research excellence across teachers of HEIs is offered by the Dept. of Education, Assam University targeting specifically the newly recruited teachers in the HEIs of India to fine tune their teaching, and research abilities.
