Teacher training and its vital importance in today’s higher education system30/10/2019
Usually, we associate teacher training with hundreds of thousands of school teachers supporting millions of students. We often forget universities and higher education institutions, where we have a large teaching workforce getting students through their final education milestone. They too need training and development to keep up with a rapidly changing student composition and evolving classroom environment.Internationally recognised teacher training programmes
University classrooms no longer don the faces of your usual 18-year-olds. We are seeing a number of new profiles emerge with specific needs and ambitions.
The phenomenon was pioneered by ISB nearly 20 years ago but has caught the eye of everyone from the deeply traditional IIMs to the more mass-market private universities.
These students are mature, driven and require practical, dialogue-based learning which is significantly different from the traditional 'lecturer' role.
2. International students
In 2018, the government announced the Study in India programme, to spend over $21 million to increase India’s international student population from 47,500 to 200,000.
International students need more pastoral care and academic support in the classroom considering the change in their personal and learning environment.
But these students will come with a distinct set of challenges based on their numeracy, literacy or English language skills, which will all test the capabilities of the lecturer.
Online learning: Globally, online enrolments are growing 4-5 times faster than on-campus. In India, the UGC has invited applications from all eligible Higher Education Institutes to deliver online courses from 2019-20. But how many of our educators are ready to teach online?
Digital resources: Today, even a student sitting in a physical classroom has access to vast pools of online information which if unchecked can lead to plagiarism and misdirected learning. Without building awareness and equipping educators with the right tools, it will be tough to channel students in the right direction.
There are many education degrees for teachers offered by some of the best universities around the world (Harvard, Stanford, John Hopkins) and in India (Lady Sri Ram College, St. Xavier’s College).
So what should freshly-minted PhDs do when they enter today’s lecture halls that have different dynamics to what they studied in? That remains a largely experience-gained prerogative.
