KMV organises FDP on ‘Defining and mapping of programme and course objectives and outcomes - Challenges and solutions’

Jalandhar: To prepare the faculty for its next milestone of success a faculty development programme was organised by Internal Quality Assurance Cell of KMV (Kanya Maha Vidyalaya). The resource person for the FDP was Dr. Hitesh Sharma from IKG Punjab Technical University, Kapurthala. Dr. Hitesh Sharma during his address acquainted everyone that there is a major paradigm shift in course designing and delivering. It is very important to define programme and course objectives so that they are in synch with vision and mission of an Institution. He also told that in any programme the basic outcomes are employment skills, research and innovation, communication and curiosity. He also clarified the difference between learning goals and learning objectives and what was the need of defining them. He explained that the basic aim of this exercise  as per quality mandate of UGC is to improve the employability/ self employment  of students, to strengthen the link of  students with society  and industry. All these things can be attained by well defined programme and course objectives and outcomes. In the end he also enlightened the faculty about technique of mapping the programme and course outcomes. 

Principal Prof. Dr. Atima Sharma Dwivedi averred that KMV under autonomy is already framing programme syllabi and introducing new audit courses in different semesters to fulfil the requirements under New Education Policy. Madam Principal lauded the efforts of Internal Quality Assurance Cell for organising this faculty development programme.
