CCPDHE
Induction of a new academic recruit into the University System has become an indispensable component in the endeavor of building the career path of an academic employee. Going along with this principle, the UGC has declared that successful completion of an orientation program is compulsory for all academic recruits to obtain confirmation. Accordingly, the Staff Development Centers (SDC) of several Universities, based on the broad guidelines given by the UGC have commenced offering induction programs to the new recruits of their own members as well for members from other universities. Recent reviews conducted by the UGC however revealed that programs offered by different universities vary in their content, time duration and style of presentation. While appreciating the initiatives taken by the successive directors of SDCs, the Standing Committee on Staff Development at the University Grants Commission decided to broaden and define the scope, specify the core modules and contents and the norms of the Induction Program for Academic Employees in order to ensure that all essential components are covered by such a program offered by any university.
The Induction Program for Academic Staff, presented in this manual, is broad enough to address the training needs of the population of university educators who have been recruited to the University Academic staff category ranging from those who have been exposed to modern teaching methods, to those who have not had the opportunity to experience such methodology in higher education. The curriculum would greatly benefit the effort to address the paradigm shift of teacher centered to learner-centered education in our Universities as well as the desired role of a university teacher.
