Abstract: “A teacher affects eternity. He can never tell where his influence stops” observed Henry Adams. The study is focused on comparing the
teaching competency and Organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) of the faculties trained through formal system of education with distance
education. Both the laypersons and the professional educators agree the “goodness” of the educational program me is determined to a large extent by
teaching. The desirable educational outcomes are attainable only if competent faculties are there at the pivot to carry the programme in the right
direction. The colleges may have excellent material resource in the form of equipment, buildings, textbooks, curriculum may be appropriately adapted to
the community requirements but if the faculties are misfit or indifferent to their responsibilities the whole programme is likely to be ineffective and
largely wasted.

Abstract: We sought to determine the relative effectiveness of different methods of worker safety and health training aimed at improving safety
knowledge and performance and reducing negative outcomes (accidents, illnesses, and injuries).Ninety-five quasi-experimental studies (n=20991) were
included in the analysis. Three types of intervention methods were distinguished on the basis of learners’ participation in the training process: least
engaging (lecture, pamphlets, videos), moderately engaging (programmed instruction, feedback interventions), and most engaging (training in
behavioural modelling, hands-on training).As training methods became more engaging (i.e., requiring trainees’ active participation), workers
demonstrated greater knowledge acquisition, and reductions were seen in accidents, illnesses, and injuries. All methods of training produced meaningful
behavioural performance improvements. Training involving behavioural modelling, a substantial amount of practice, and dialogue is generally more
effective than other methods of safety and health training. The present findings challenge the current emphasis on more passive computer-based and
distance training methods within the public health workforce.
