Prof. J. S. Panwar, Ms. Khushboo Ameta

Abstract :

A teacher play pivotal role in upliftment of a nation but despite of such a significant contribution in development of nation few steps are taken for proper training of teachers of higher education in India. UGC has established Academic Staff Colleges (ASC) at various places in India to cater the need of proper training of higher education teachers. ASCs organize refresher courses to upgrade the knowledge and teaching skills of in–service university/college teachers of their respective catchment area. But how far these ASCs have achieved their proclaimed objectives is a big question for discussion. Present study is an attempt to reveal the perception of participant teachers towards Refresher Courses organized by ASCs particularly in Rajasthan.
