RBPT Workshops in Mohali and Tezpur, 2017 Report of the Workshops at IISER, Mohali, and the University of Tezpur, January 2017

These two Workshops were the first part of a multi-year programme, funded by Newton Bhabha Fund, using colleagues from the UK and India, to support development of a more research-based pedagogy in Indian universities and colleges. The Workshops were developed from a pilot in Pune in March 2016. In total, over 150 university lecturers attended the two Workshops and participated in three days of training and development. The detailed programmes are given later in this report but the Workshops’ intended outcomes were to support Indian teachers as they: explored the nature and purpose of Research-Based Pedagogical Tools (RBPT) considered implementation opportunities and issues for RBPTs at their own colleges acquired RBPT-development skills created a draft of an RBPT suitable for their own college linked with other teachers facing similar challenges
