Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) Teaching Learning Centre (TLC) is launching a training program on STEM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) and Biotechnology for college faculty.
Organised under Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme (MMTTP), this in-person, residential Capacity Building Program is provided free of cost for faculty engaged in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate science courses.
IIT Madras TLC has partnered with BodhBridge Education for this initiative, which is targeted towards college faculty across India. Interested faculty can apply through the following registration link – https://fundaspring.com/products/capacity-building-stem-faculty-iit-madras-malaviya-mission
The training would be conducted over a period of nine days, with each batch comprising 50 participants. Shortlisted candidates will be notified by email. College faculty teaching Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biotechnology (UG and PG) are eligible to apply. The program would be held at TLC Hall and Central Library in the IIT Madras Campus
Elaborating about this program, Prof. Edamana Prasad, Chairman, Teaching Learning Center, IIT Madras, said, “The program is designed to elevate teaching effectiveness, enrich student learning experiences and cultivate an engaged and inspired academic environment. Its objectives include strengthening student performance, encouraging higher enrollment in STEM disciplines and advancing diversity and inclusion, all of which align with the Union Education Ministry’s commitment to ongoing enhancement and innovation within India’s education sector. Faculty members from both public and private colleges are eligible to participate, and assessment and certification will be conducted under the guidance of the MMTTP framework.”
The TLC at IIT Madras is dedicated to advancing teaching methodologies and building academic capacity among educators, thereby nurturing a culture of excellence and innovation in higher education.
The Capacity Building Programme will focus on holistic faculty development, covering fundamental and advanced topics in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. The modules will offer practical lab sessions, innovative teaching methodologies, and exposure to frontier research, designed to refresh pedagogical skills and support the development of modern, inquiry-based STEM curricula.
Staying true to the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the program will focus on Interdisciplinary Approach, Skill Development, Research and Innovation, Global Competitiveness and Experiential Learning
