Improving Indian Teachers' Readiness to Adopt New Methodologies: Role of Learner-Centered In-Service Training
Abstract
Appropriate pre-service and in-service professional development programs help improve teacher effectiveness. Though the Indian government has invested substantial resources on in-service teacher training, teachers rarely implement the learning from such programs in the actual classroom. This article draws insights from a qualitative analysis of the teacher training conducted during a larger study that developed and tested an intervention program for language learning problems in Marathi, and Indian language. It discusses the current status of in-service teacher training in India and identifies important practice implications that could be used as a basis for more detailed research in this field and for reforming teacher training in India. Based on the interactive and learner-centered teacher training method used in this study and the positive impact it had on the two teachers who participated, the author recommends methods to help teachers challenge, re-examine, and re-structure teachers' belief systems related to teaching children.
