The Scholarship of Teaching: Why India should promote it for promotion & tenure
Journal Title: Journal of Education Technology in Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The vast majority of Faculty within Medical Colleges in India are worried and agitated ever since the Medical Council of India in its regulations on minimum qualifications for teachers in Medical Institutions (MCI 1998, 2010) (1) required certain specified number of research publications as first/ second author. Whereas the MCI’s intentions for this amendment were meant to enhance the research output from medical colleges, the lack of facilities in most medical colleges for fundamental research needed for generating new knowledge along with being overburdened by routine clinical work and lack of protected time needed for engaging in research, made it difficult for majority of medical teachers to become principal investigators to be counted as first/ second author and generate new knowledge needed for “original” research as required by MCI
