“…In the present study, in terms of the transfer of knowledge, training and skills involved in the learning materials preparation, the majority of trainees (68%) expressed that they were capable of providing the training skills they obtained to their fellow colleagues to a "large extent", 20% noted that they had this competency to "some extent" while 8% opined that they were "poor" in this aspect (Figure 7). These findings are in line with those of Adhikari (2018), who found that most trainees were successful in transferring a number of training skills. Although the number of respondents who were poor in TOT is only 8%, institutions need to focus on these people and utilize the services of the in-house trained faculty to further build the capacity of their own colleagues.…”

PurposeThis paper seeks to ascertain the effectiveness of a two-week-long faculty development programme (FDP), organized by Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), for teachers of the open and distance learning (ODL) system, with the aim of upgrading their knowledge and skills for developing print self-learning materials (SLMs). The specific aim of this study is to ascertain whether the objectives of the FDP have been achieved, to examine the effectiveness of the training programme and to suggest measures for improvement in future FDPs regarding the design and development of print SLMs.Design/methodology/approachThe study was conducted using a descriptive survey research method, through semi-structured questionnaires and adopted purposive sampling. The first survey was conducted immediately after the completion of the programme, in order to collect feedback from the trainees, while the second survey was conducted after six months of the FDP, using the follow-up approach, so that more reliable and authentic results could be obtained.FindingsThe outcomes of the study revealed that the training had been effective in imparting appropriate knowledge and skills to the trainees, with respect to designing print SLMs. However, certain gaps were also identified and have been reported in this paper. Key suggestions have been made to address the shortcomings and improve forthcoming FDPs.Research limitations/implicationsThe present research focused on a specific training programme regarding the design and development of SLMs. Therefore, only the teachers and academics who participated in this specialized training activity were considered for the collection of feedback.Practical implicationsThe recommendations of this work may be useful for the trainers, FDP coordinators, training institutions and ODL policymakers for planning and designing effective staff development activities for teachers and academics working in ODL institutions. These would be especially useful in the design of FDPs, aimed at orienting teachers who are involved in curriculum planning, design and development of learning resources.Originality/valueThis study is an original research based on the empirical primary data obtained by the researchers. As the largest open university in the world, IGNOU has been playing a key role in staff development for and in ODL in developing countries. This evaluative study of a specialized FDP in the area of SLM design and development is a significant work that may be valuable for planning the staff development strategies and building a training evaluation mechanism.

“…Yet these policies are unclear on ways to ensure the transfer of training or find out the factors that promote or inhibit transfer. Among a few studies on training transfer, Adhikari (2018) exhibits transfer level in general education, and Koirala et al (2016) show trainee satisfaction of TVET instructors at the reaction level. However, these studies do not address the issues of environmental factors affecting training transfer among TVET instructors.…”

This study explores the environmental factors that affect the transfer of training among technical education instructors in Nepal. In the exploration, a scale with 40 items was constructed by utilizing Delphi technique. Then, a survey was carried out on 251 instructors who completed instructional skills-related training. The result of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) retained 26 items and showed six factors affecting the perceived transfer of training accounting for 58.8% of the total variance explained which are: (i) organizational transfer intervention, (ii) external monitoring and evaluation (M&E), (iii) local school governance, (iv) management support, (v) social support and, (vi) curriculum standard. Further using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), the study confirmed the model-fit of three constructs that affect training transfer: organizational transfer intervention, external M&E, and social support. The study concluded that the training transfer is affected by internal and external environmental factors, which are represented by two major driving forces of support and control.
