TRAINING
In-service Training of Teachers and Teacher Educators in Social
Sciences for Capacity Building in States
As part of capacity building of states, the department took up the programme of
‘In-service Training of Teachers in Social Sciences as Master Trainers for Capacity
Building and Quality Enhancement in the Teaching-Learning Process at the
Upper Primary and Secondary Stages in States’. Two five-day training
programmes were conducted in the States of Haryana and Goa in collaboration
with the respective SCERTs during the last quarter of the financial year
2010-11, i.e. 10-14 January 2011 and 14-18 February 2011. During these
programmes twenty teachers from Haryana and twelve teachers from Goa
participated respectively. It is expected that these teachers will act as master
trainers in their states to extend training to other teachers. The manual developed
by the social science faculty of DESSH largely formed the basis of conducting
these programmes. Feedback from the participants on their ‘expectations’ and
the ‘efficacy’ of the programmes was also obtained on a detailed questionnaire,
which will suitably inform such training programmes to be conducted by the
department in future.
