Faculty Academic Enrichment Practices in Arts and Science Colleges

Dr. Sr. S. Arulmary
ABSTRACT
Today's world expects a teacher to be clear in his perception of the nature and structure of the discipline which is being transacted by him in the classroom context. The appreciable paradigm shift taken in the form of teacher-centered to learner-centered educational process demands a teacher to be at least on par with the vastly exposed learners, who have greater access to ultra-modern electronic media like internet, website, and satellite broadcasting. A teacher can be expected to be a full-fledged modern useful teacher only by his own means, and hence the need for the enrichment of the faculty to a masterly level is highly dependent upon the opportunities and facilities being offered by the concerned agencies, viz., College, University, Governmental Apparatus, National Agencies like UGC, Department of Science and Technology (DST), Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) and Botanical Survey of India.
