In the world of technology, when today's student is approaching the on-line /distance learning in the open universities and doing on-line self-assessment, the classroom learning is vanishing slowly. Globally, teachers are taking efforts to improve the pedagogy by implementing effective methods to retain the classroom teaching and student attendance. The present study aims at shedding some light on the need of changing the adult education strategies (andragogy), which can effectively improve the student attendance for lectures.
It is an observational study, and the conceptual framework of it is based on beliefs, opinions and personal experiences of the respondents. Triangulation method is used for collecting the data. The data is achieved from three groups of concerned population who could provide valid results to support the study. It is collected by interviewing 10 senior faculty members who are/were the 'education experts' in the universities, while the main concerned groups of present educational stream, i.e. 'institution-teachers' and the 'students', were given questionnaires. 570 teacher respondents and 200 student respondents are the main participants of this study.
As per data, it has been observed that senior faculty (90%) and students (93.25%) feel need of student motivation more than the institutional teachers (52.44%). P-values were obtained using Chi-Square test for testing the significance of difference between agreement and disagreement for a specific question.
In India, Universities have already sensed the need of 'teacher development programmes'. But teachers in dental colleges, demand more efforts to be taken by universities and managements in this regard and expect better educational policies to give them accessibility to prove themselves.
在科技世界中，当今天的学生开始在开放大学接受在线/远程学习并进行在线自我评估时，课堂学习正在慢慢消失。全球范围内，教师们正在努力通过实施有效的方法来保留课堂教学和学生出勤率来提高教学法。本研究旨在阐明改变成人教育策略（成人教育学）的必要性，这可以有效地提高学生的出勤率。
这是一项观察性研究，其概念框架基于受访者的信念、意见和个人经验。采用三角测量法收集数据。数据来自三组相关人群，他们可以提供有效的结果来支持这项研究。通过采访 10 位在大学中担任“教育专家”的资深教师，同时向当前教育领域的主要相关群体，即“机构教师”和“学生”发放问卷，收集了数据。本研究的主要参与者是 570 名教师受访者和 200 名学生受访者。
根据数据，观察到资深教师（90%）和学生（93.25%）比机构教师（52.44%）更需要学生的激励。使用卡方检验来检验对特定问题的同意和不同意的差异的显著性，获得 P 值。
在印度，大学已经意识到“教师发展计划”的必要性。但是，牙科学院的教师则要求大学和管理层在这方面做出更多努力，并期望更好的教育政策使他们能够有机会证明自己。
