Practical Mannual. Instructional Technology for College Teachers

Document from the year 2015 in the subject Instructor Plans: Agriculture / Forestry / Gardening language: English abstract: Teachers engaged in higher education in general and those in agricultural universities in particular have to shoulder multifarious responsibilities as research extension and management in addition to teaching. This results into diversifying their attention and energy refraining them from fully focussing on teaching. Secondly college teachers in general rely on their knowledge of subject matter of their field of specialization alone for effective teaching. It is so because of giving blind eye to pedagogical methods and their importance in making teaching effective. The fact 'how' something is said is equally important as 'what' is said is ignored.Therefore for avoiding the defeat of a teacher such training as this one on instructional technology are of immense importance. We have taken a care to cover all possible aspects of instruction including the commitment of teacher. Broadly topics viz.
