Abstract (2. Language):
Present paper seeks to analyze the impact of training programmes on distance
education professionals of Indira Gandhi National Open University, (IGNOU).
The objective of the paper is to identify the training needs of Distance
Education Professionals to manage distance education affairs of IGNOU, to
evaluate the effectiveness of existing training programmes, to develop a
feasible training and professional development model for distance education
Professionals (DEPs) and to suggest initiatives in existing training for the skill
development of DEPs for effective career growth and development. Attempt
has been made to apply statistical tools such as skewness, kurtosis, regression
and correlation on a different set of variables to assess the impact of the
training programmes on DE professionals such as teachers and academics.
While addressing the objectives of the study it is revealed that some of the
indicators have opened up scope for improvement. Nevertheless trainees have
expressed mixed reaction on the quality of training pgrammes with respect to
content, methodology and effectiveness. Based on the analysis a workable
training model has also been suggested where emphasis on the Common
Training Approach (CTA) has been given besides, work specific training. For the
over all professional development of DEPs a suitable training strategy has been
worked out which ensures training at different strata that includes primary,
secondary & tertiary level considering the experience & job requirements of the
professionals.
