Introduction:
The Government of India has set an ambitious target of imparting skills to 30 crores people, one out of every four Indians, by 2020 to help them secure jobs as part of the National Skills Development Policy. The instructors imparting training to the trainees in Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) plays a major role in providing skilled manpower.
The objective of the Craft Instructor Training (CITS) is to train Instructors in the techniques of transferring hands-on skills, in order to train semi-skilled / skilled manpower for industry. Structure of training programme is such that comprehensive training both in skill development and training methodology is imparted to the trainees. The skill training is dynamic in nature especially in the present context of technological changes. This demands a proper understanding of the original ideas, theories and systems that are fundamental base of a good instructor. As an instructor /trainer it is of utmost importance that the various nuances of good training practices are understood and followed in true spirit.
However there are large numbers of instructors in the training system who are working for long time, who could not undergo CITS training which can be attributed to various factors. As the instructors are imparting training since many years, it is apparent that they might have acquired some level of instructor competencies.
Hence to bring competencies of this pool of instructors at par with the defined competencies under CITS, a special course of 1(one) month duration is being introduced on Principles of Teaching (POT). This will facilitate them to recognize their prior learning.
Under the great Initiative of Director General of Training Shri. Rajesh Aggarwal, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, National Instructional Media feels proud in rolling out this online course to you.
Principles of Teaching is a very essential subject for an Instructor to be aware of. The mastery of the Instructor lies in disseminating the skills acquired by him / her to the trainees in a easy understandable way. This course is designed in such a way to sculpt the instructor in you.
