Abstract

Field training during summer vacation is an essential part of the curriculum of the technical education in our country. Training period varies from six weeks to eight weeks, generally. It is observed that generally the students are sent to certain organisations through the help of the Institute mostly to their home towns or places nearer to the home. Students report back to the institute after the desired period and some viva etc. is conducted for the evaluation to be done. It is observed that the students produce a certificate from the concerned organisation just by his contacts. Surprise checkings have shown that rarely the students are present on the job site or come regularly and work honestly during this period. Precious time is lost and the gain is negligible. Students on field training does not know some time about the organisational structure of the place where they are deputed. In this way the purpose of field training i.e. Industry Institute linkage and institute-real life situation exposure is totally lost. This inhibits the genuine growth of a technical student in terms of institative and responsibility. This paper stresses the need for the supervised field training and the tools of evaluation to used at the host organisation for doing a judicious and proper grading of students. It also stresses the need for permanent field training stations for the teaching institutes which will make the system more effective and meaningful.

Abstract

The role of teachers in technical institution is many fold. This can be fulfilled and justified only if the teachers are responsive and they understand the seriousness of teaching and the other duties in an institute. It is necessary that the teacher should know what is expected of him, how much is expected of him and what happens if he does better or worse than the expectation. Every teacher will be able to spell out clearly about his research activities publications, projects, consultancy. students activities, but no teacher will be able to say concretely on quality of, his/her teaching in the class room. Class room teaching and interaction with the students is very important aspect of the teachers study which has to be given the maximum weightage in the performance appraisal system. For this purpose each institute has to constitute a feed back unit with a very senior facility and reputed Professor as the head of that unit. A group of students of each course of class are to be invited for the feedback of the teachers about their teaching capacity and other related qualities, Students are the best judge for assessing the teachers performance in class room as it is the students in class who are involved while teachers are teaching.
