Elevating Quality of Educators - Need of an Hour
Keywords:
Quality, input, output, barriers, motivating factorsAbstract
The quality of edification can be a direct consequence and result of the level of teaching staff and the teacher training system, and it therefore depends on the professional development opportunities of the teacher. Bringing qualitative changes to the institutional effectiveness of the teacher education system can be a large and difficult task in itself. The development and changes of the last decades require a new look at the professional development of teaching staff. Professional development for teachers is based on the idea that "teachers are made, not born" as opposed to the belief that "teachers are born, not made". Because teaching is considered both an art and a science, in addition to knowledge, a teacher must also acquire skills known as "tricks of the trade." The purpose of the discussion in the course of this work is to provide an understanding of the professional development of teaching staff in the problems of quality education in the context of higher education. This article is based on secondary data obtained from various analytical studies, documents and reports. The insights presented in this article can help educational institutions and policy makers demand necessary action and move forward in creating higher education.
