A Structural Model of Teacher Learning, Satisfaction, Attitude and Confidence in Faculty Development Programmes

Abstract

Owing to the dynamic requirements of today’s teaching–learning environment, teachers’ training has emerged as an important policy question. The Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching is an important step taken by the Ministry of Education, Government of India in this direction. The current study seeks to analyse the interactions among different aspects of Faculty Development Programmes and the overall outcomes. Using data ( n = 375) from programmes conducted under the mission, the study employs structure equation modelling to find that relevance has a positive effect on the change in attitude, which subsequently has a positive effect on the satisfaction of the trainees. Satisfaction further positively affects the change in confidence of the trainees. However, once this positive effect is controlled for, satisfaction and change in confidence correlate negatively. The estimation of the structural relationships is a novelty of this study, paving the way for further exploration.

Advancing teacher competencies: assessing the influence of faculty development programs (FDP) on embracing modern innovations in teaching

“…Further, the study reported an improvement in the quality of teaching and also noted that the teachers spent more time listening rather than talking post-intervention. Rama et al (2022) discovered that FDPs have a positive impact on changing attitudes, which in turn influences trainee satisfaction positively. This satisfaction then contributes positively to the trainees' increased confidence.…”

A deep learning-based SEM-ANN analysis of the impact of AI-based audit services on client trust

“…The underlying theoretical framework differentiated between attitude and satisfaction, positing that a favorable attitude towards AI-based audit services could bolster satisfaction levels. This hypothesis found support in the research outcomes, which demonstrated a significant and positive linkage between satisfaction and attitude, corroborating previous studies in analogous contexts (Didyasarin et al ., 2017; Lee et al ., 2015; Rama et al ., 2022). Thus, audit firms intent on enhancing client satisfaction with AI-based audit services could concentrate on improving client attitudes towards such services.…”
