Motivating Students

I have been fortunate enough to conduct Faculty development program in Colleges and Institutes. I got a chance to closely understand the issues and concerns in developing students for better performance

Some good points were:

1. Faculty do realize that teaching methodologies need change

2. Most faculty members are keen on Self Improvement Programs

3. Faculty in general are Master’s of their subject

4. They want to make a difference in life of others and society at large

5. They understand they have a huge responsibility to shoulder

Some Improvement areas:

1. Lack of focus in planning sessions before delivering the lecture

2. Gap in understanding instructional design principles

3. Interactive approach in classrooms is low

4. Labeling of students a hindrance in bringing the best out of Individuals

If some of the improvement areas are taken care of, Then this can bring marked difference in developing and motivating students

Above all as a Faculty we get increased level of satisfaction to see our students grow
