Experiencing the Impact of ‘Experience’ Over ‘Professional Stress’ and Allied Psychopedagogical Status of the Female Engineering Educators in India, Teaching Through ODCL Mode

Irrespective of discipline and trade-boundaries, pedagogy of Engineering-Education demands specialty in most of the cases. Teachers’ style of teaching [rather to assist in the process of learning] accords influence of sequel of factors and variables some of which may be clubbed under ‘psychopedagogical attributes’. Among the many other factors, these include professional-stress, professional-interest, job-satisfaction, and collectivism. Present study attempts to explore the level and interrelationship of these psychopedagogical attributes as apparent among the female teachers of engineering colleges and universities, teaching through ODCL from selected states of eastern-India. Attempt was also made to explore the impact of span of experience in teaching of the female teachers over these psychoeducational-attributes. Sample for the study includes 132 female engineering college teachers, drawn following stratified-random-sampling-technique. Data for the study was pulled through four sets of standardised scales, dedicated for the target group and were treated through appropriate techniques, starting from simple percentage to t-test. The study explores the level of female engineering college teachers with reference to the specified attributes, their interrelationship and impact of age over those attributes.
