A One-week Faculty Development Programme (FDP)
on Teaching Learning Processes was organized during 07-11 May 2018
for the teaching staff.
Dr. M. Srinivasa Kumar, Principal, Narasaraopet Engineering College,

which was attended by Dr. D. V. Ramamurthy, Principal, GIET (A), Dr. S. S. N. Raju, Principal,

Dr. T. V. Prasad, Director, School of Computer Sciences, GIET(A).
There were over 157 faculty members registered for the event.
The first two days of the FDP were common for all branches
and focussed solely on teaching-learning processes.
The next two days (i.e. 09 May and 10 May) were allocated to branch/group wise
talks/lectures, which were completely addressed by 11 subject experts from leading
institutions like NIT Warangal, NIT Goa, Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar,
etc. in 24 sessions.
The topics deliberated were from a range of areas covering
foundations of education system, National Policy on Education (NPE),
CO-PO mapping, attainment, R&D, Outcome-Based Education (OBE), enhancing
employability skills, course planning and delivery, quality assurance, adolescence
behaviour, effective assessment, teaching and learning styles, motivation, etc.
The external experts provided more of hands-on experience on various aspects
of teaching-learning processes such as preparation of lesson plan,
course delivery, assessment and evaluation (rubric design), etc.
for a course that they would be teaching in the forthcoming semester.
Based on the feedback, the participants expressed that they had an excellent learning
experience during the FDP and were immensely benefitted from the deliberations.
They specifically highlighted that topics such as adolescence behaviour and motivation, rubric design, identifying
research areas, initiating writing research papers, filing for seeking funding from funding agencies, etc.
were of immense help to them as they were not able to get help to the needed level and now their doubts have been cleared.
The arrangements like lunch, refreshments, transport, accommodation, etc. made were up to their satisfaction level, and overall they had a pleasant time in learning.
The valedictory ceremony on 11 May 2018 afternoon was attended by Dr. D. V. Ramamurthy,
Principal, GIET (A), Dr. S. S. N. Raju, Principal, GEC, Dr. M. Varaprasada Rao,
