KEY STRATEGIES ADOPTED

pecialisation

: The entire faculty of NISA has been divided into different subject groups headed by a group leader (a Gazetted

Officer). Instructors of a particular Subject Group will handle only that particular subject during a semester/year and will strive to develop expertise in that subjectInstructors are allotted to a Subject Group based on their interest, experience and capabilityInstructors are encouraged to get themselves trained in their allotted subjects by attending courses outside

CONSTRAINTS/CHALLENGES

The existing mindset of the trainers and resistance to introduce Active Learning methods which are more demanding on the trainers

Educational background and linguistic skills of the trainers

posed a challenge for developing new content like case studiesInstructional delivery

Regular transfer policy and non-training duties of the trainers due to the nature of working of Paramilitary Forces have hampered the implementation of the Integrated Faculty Development Program to a certain extent The available trainers have been motivated by way of openly recognising their work in meetings and giving rewards for good work done

ENABLING FACTORS

Visionary leadership and support from the CISF Force Headquarters

Location in Hyderabad which is a crucible of learning and training

Visits to field units by the trainers could be easily arranged as the units are of the same

organisation

Most importantly the enthusiasm and response shown by the trainers of NISA to the above initiatives

IMPACT OF INITIATIVES

Subject matter expertise of the trainers has increased considerably

A great improvement has been noticed in the teaching methodologies adopted by themThe trainees are found to be more attentive in classes and the transfer of learning has improved considerably

Overall the learning environment in NISA has improved dramatically as is reflected in the course feedbacks and ratings over the last two years

LESSONS LEARNED

Whether she is a ‘Sage on Stage’ or ‘Guide by the Side’ the trainer remains the most important factor in the process of training

Given the right kind of direction, support and encouragement trainers can come up with wonderful results

Only a trainer who is excited and passionate about her job can in turn re-create the interest in the trainee for the subject.

It is important to keep the trainers in a continuous process of learning and development if we are to ensure high training standards

There is so much of R&D going on in the field of training/teaching that it is important for training organisations to meet often and exchange notes

SUSTAINABILITY

The

START

systems of IFDP have been institutionalised in NISA and the present emphasis is onContent Development for Active Learning

Mutual helping of Instructors in their developmentThe initiatives taken in the IFDP have inspired the other training institutions under the Training Sector of CISF and they are replicating the Integrated Faculty Development Program in their respective institutes to create a more conducive learning environmentThe initiatives under IFDP for skill development of trainers at NISA were presented at the National workshop on Best practices in Training which was conducted in the Academy on 1st Dec 2015 on the occasion of NISA Silver Jubilee. The initiatives were widely appreciated by the participating institutes like NACEN, SVP NPA, ISB, NALSAR, CRPF, IAF, RAF, TSPA, ASCI, Dr. MCR HRD Institute, TS Forest Academy, TSPF, APSPF etc
