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.
