Description

The National Education Policy (NEP, 2020) in India emphasises faculty professional development in mentorship as a key strategy for strengthening higher education. This study examines the impact of a Professional Development Programme on Mentorship (PDP-M) in enhancing self-efficacy and outcome expectancy among 37 faculty members at Salesian College. The intervention consisted of a 15-hour module, comprising 6 h of structured core sessions and 9 h of supplementary activities, adapted from the TPDP-M framework. A quasi-experimental, single-group prepost design was employed with in-service faculty participants. Quantitative measures of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy were collected before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis revealed statistically significant improvements in the total mentorship score, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancy. This study demonstrates that short, intensive, context-sensitive professional development programmes can effectively strengthen faculty mentoring capacity, offering a scalable model for higher education reform. 2026 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
