Abstract
Self-appraisal plays a crucial role in the capacity building and continuous professional development (CPD) of college teachers. This self-appraisal system of self-assessment allows the teachers to think about their strengths and weaknesses, which may consequently lead to a discussion on barriers to effective teaching and allied career. Besides that, in Indian context, UGC, AICTE, and NAAC-like bodies governing higher education have a very clear say on the self-appraisal of college teachers.
Now, this study aims to determine the gap and compare the awareness about self-appraisal and its practices among two groups of commerce teachers belonging to Karnataka and Kerala state. Also, it aims to estimate the effect of self-appraisal on continuous professional development of teachers in both the groups
The Management of Institutions offering higher education will have to devise or adopt proper self-appraisal-based performance evaluation of teachers and to monitor their continuous professional development periodically. On the other hand, teachers serving in colleges must have known the importance and uses of self-appraisal towards the evaluation of their individual performance and its allied benefits.
Researcher, examines how performance appraisal contributes to capacity building by identifying skill development areas, training needs, and institutional support among college teachers. A sample survey of selected teachers is conducted in both the geographical region to unleash the details regarding awareness about performance appraisal among college teachers in both the cities with a suitable research design. The first among the two groups under study being commerce teachers employed at colleges linked to University of Calicut and the second being Karnatak University Dharwad.
