Re: [MTC Global] [Innovative] Engineering college puts their teachers to tests

Dear Sir, Perhaps for Engineering education, an exam may appear to update the knowledge
of the teach. But to test a teacher's knowledge, an exam would only lead to rote learning
for the exam and in-fact breed some kind of complacency. The AIMA Certified Teacher,
evaluation offers a more rounded way to assess the teacher. The teacher may be provided a
topic to teach before a panel, the teacher may be given a time to prepare for the topic.
The teacher may be asked to interact with a class of senior students and the classroom
interaction observed by the panel who can do the scoring based on a predetermined marking
sheet concerning the various attributes of a good classroom interaction. This exercise
may be long but it will enable the teacher where he/she stands on the various parameters.
Best Regards,
K.Paranjpe

>Dear Sir,
I strongly disagree with u in this aspect because now-days internet and smart phones are
available and students can google something through smart phones and ask quarries
purposefully. Is it good. One more thing there are many other methods of evaluating the
teacher performance in the class room and why should u conduct an exam. At the same time
there are other parameters to test the faculty other than teaching.

In the first-of-its-kind initiative, 80 teachers of Alamuri Ratnamala Institute of
Engineering,Thane district last week appeared for an examination in their respective
subjects.

The college started this initiative to test the quality of education being provided to
the students. It also plans to create a bank of best answer sheets written by the
teachers to be shown to the students as a reference.

"As teachers, we are fluent in teaching our students but we have not been tested on our
knowledge for a long time. The idea was to help the teachers prepare for their subjects
in a better manner. We had to complete our papers in the format set by University of
Mumbai," said Israni, who also appeared for the examination in his subject-electricity
and electronics.

This college stated that teachers who are unable to score a minimum of 80% will be given
side postings and assigned to teaching only after they clear the papers in subsequent
attempts.

"I do not want any student to come up and say that the teacher doesn't know something or
cannot clear a particular doubt," said Dinesh Israni, Dean of the college.

"I have been teaching electronics for the last 25 years. But, as teachers I feel we need
to update ourselves and taking an examination as per the recent syllabus and format is
the best way, " said Sanjay Hundiwale, an associate professor, at the department of
electronics and telecommunications.

Teachers who teach more than one subject has to appear for their second paper next month.

"I teach IT and computer science. I thought that am fully aware of the subject's contents
but when it came to writing an examination, I found it difficult to finish the exam on
time. It was indeed a learning experience for us," said Sushant Gandhi, Assistant
professor of IT and computer science.
