In-house Faculty Development Programmes (FDPs)


A Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Data Analysis using R” was organized by the Quality Improvement cell (QIC) and Institute Research Committee (IRC) during 10, 12 and 13 Jan 2023. This FDP was intended to enhance the knowledge and skills of faculty members on statistical data analysis.

The objectives of the FDP were

  • To familiarize the participants with R programming language
  • To provide hands on experience in handling and manipulating data in R
  • To apply appropriate quantitative/statistical methods and tools in R for conducting research

A total of 12 sessions were conducted during the FDP out of which 11 sessions were conducted by Dr. Kriti Priya Gupta, Professor - SCMS NOIDA and 1 session was conducted by Dr. Sunita Dwivedi. During the programme, the participants learnt about the following topics:

  • Difference between R and R Studio
  • Creating and manipulating various Objects in R
  • Applying F-test, t-tests, ANOVA, and chi-square test in R
  • Correlation analysis, Multiple Linear Regression and Logistic Regression using R
  • Network Analysis in R

The participants were involved in a continuous learning process using the datasets / resources provided in the FDP. The FDP received good feedback from the participants.

A Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Data Analysis using SPSS” was organized by the Institute Research Committee (IRC) during 9-11 July 2020. This FDP was intended to equip faculty members with basic as well as advanced data analysis skills using SPSS to produce good quality research. The main focus of the programme was to identify the right statistical tools and techniques for different research objectives and carry out data analysis using SPSS.

The objectives of the FDP were

  • To enhance understanding of inferential statistical techniques such as Hypothesis testing, and Exploratory Factor Analysis
  • To provide hands-on experience in analyzing data using SPSS

Dr. Kriti Priya Gupta, Professor - SCMS NOIDA was the resource person for the FDP.

In order to maintain social distancing because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the participants were given the option of attending the programme through online mode. The programme sessions were conducted in Computer Lab-1. Ten faculty members attended the sessions in person (in the Lab) and nine faculty members attended the programme through online mode using Microsoft Teams. 

During the programme, the participants learnt about the following topics:

  • Data Management: Preparation of data file; Transformation of data; Descriptive statistics and Graphs
  • Item Reduction: Introduction to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA); Conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis through SPSS, Concept of Validity and Reliability
  • Hypothesis Testing: Tests for Normality of data, t tests (independent t-test, paired t test); ANOVA, Post hoc tests; MANOVA, Post hoc tests

The FDP received good feedback from the participants.
