Abstract
Faculty members of Higher Educational Institutions are recruited with a mandatory qualification such as NET/
SET/SLET/Ph.D. The effect of such recruitment without an overview of teaching attributes such as –
Importance of Learning Outcomes, Learning Experiences and Learner’s Appraisal, ways to connect with Gen
Z community etc…leads to great damage to the learner’s community and also to teacher’s level of confidence.
The emerging need was felt and thereby this package of FDP came into action. Young faculty members with
an experience of less than 5 years in the teaching profession with a longingness for teaching are identified by
the Heads of the institutions and are sent for this training programme. 70 faculty members from 32 higher
educational instituions took part in the training extensively. A pre-test was conducted before the
commencement of the training programme. After a well-planned schedule of technical sessions and training
sessions are over, a post- test is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the training programme. The data
collected were analysed with SPSS and found that the training programme provided was very useful for the
faculty members. The study revealed that the FDP was very effective.
