The interplay of socio-demographic variables and teacher effectiveness in higher education


Author(s): Dr. Vidhu Gupta

Abstract: As we step into a new millennium, witnessing global transformations in every facet of life, education undergoes substantial reforms, with teachers playing a pivotal role in this evolving landscape. This study explores how socio-demographic factors affect teacher effectiveness in higher education. A survey was carried out with 398 teachers from management and technical colleges using a multilevel sample approach. The findings reveal gender disparities, with age as a significant factor influencing teacher effectiveness. Teachers aged 35-40 exhibited the highest effectiveness. Experience proved to be a crucial determinant, with the teachers having 10-15 years of experience demonstrating the highest level of effectiveness. These findings highlight the need for turnaround initiatives to be implemented right away. To enhance teacher effectiveness, it is recommended to encourage female teachers, organize regular in-service training sessions focusing on work-life balance and self-management, and provide challenging assignments with innovative pedagogy and ICT-enabled tools for teachers with 20 years of experience and above.
