Training of trainers in pedagogy skills (Asia region)

We are inviting applications for a 5-day workshop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 28 May to 1 June 2012 on pedagogy skills. The training is specifically to build the training skills of individuals who will be delivering training in accessing and using research information to policy makers/influencers and who work in the South Asia/South East Asia region. Participants on this course must:

  1. Be in a position to provide training to policy makers/influencer in use of research information
  2. Have a good understanding of research and its relevance to policy making
  3. Be committed to undertaking the initial training course; to engaging in a post-course mentoring phase; and to delivering training to policy makers
  4. Have the support of their manager(s) and/or organization

Individuals attending the training may include academics, librarians, individuals from civil society organizations or members of staff from within policy making institutions who intend to run training for policy makers/influencers. We will favourably consider applicants with demonstrable levels of institutional commitment e.g. through funding to attend the workshop.

Given the high level of interest in this workshop, we are conducting a pre- course assessment to screen potential participants here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Pedagogy_Asia

This survey will be used to select relevant participants. The survey will also give us information about potential participants’ skills/knowledge which will help us to tailor the course to suit the participants’ needs. As a result, we hope to improve the overall quality of the courses and the methodology used. Please note that the survey consists of two pages of questions- please ensure you fill in both pages.

The survey should take about 15 minutes. Please complete it as soon as possible - and no later than the 30 March, 2012.

We do value your participation in this exercise. Please feel free to contact the Survey team with any queries at aademokun@inasp.info Thank you for your cooperation.
