Abstract

This article offers to discuss certain fundamental aspects of professional standards for teachers in higher education in India and South Asian countries, where frameworks for understanding and exercising the standards are in a very formative stage. It introduces the Professional Standards Framework (PSF) of the UK. It highlights its potential to guide teachers and institutions that need to understand their personal and institutional roles in facilitating learning rather than refining teaching in the present global scenario of student-centeredness. The three major components of the PSF, namely areas of activity, aspects of core knowledge, and professional values, are used as points of reference to elaborate on various aspects of academic management in a learner-centered institution’s strategic approach. It maintains that the PSF is a helpful framework to promote the utilization of a human approach to supporting learning in an academic context that is being overwhelmingly invaded by technological innovations to demand a large part of the conventional teacher’s job.
