Description Not Available
The present study was undertaken to assess academic
achievement, teaching aptitude and research attitude of Indian
agricultural universities’ faculty, to predict indicators for successful
teachers and researchers, and thereby enhancing the quality of
higher agricultural education. Methodology: Five hundred faculty
members were selected to elicit information on academic,
teaching and research achievements. Teaching aptitude and
attitude of faculty towards research were measured through
standard psychometric tests. Correlation and regression analysis
was carried out to establish the relationship among selected
variables. Findings: Combination of academic achievement and
teaching aptitude was a superior predictor for the teaching
achievement compared to either of them alone. Similarly, research
achievement of faculty was predicted better by the combination
of academic achievement and research attitude. Practical
Implications: The study showed the need for training faculty
members in interpersonal relationships for effective teaching, and
in research methodology and research processes for improving
research attitude of faculty. Theoretical Implications: The expectancyvalue
model provides a useful framework to understand the role of
attitude/aptitude in better prediction of research and teaching
behavior. Originality/Value: The present study showed that teaching
aptitude and research attitude be considered along with academic
achievements for promoting quality teaching and research and
hence the educational programmes.
