摘要：Background: Teacher training focusing on teaching learning methodologies, assessment tools, and approaches that motivate the teachers and enhance their confidence is one of the fundamental programs of faculty development. The objective of this study was to assess the self-reported perceived confidence of faculty members after participating in a basic teachers training workshop. Methodology: The retrospective post-then-pre design questionnaire was used for evaluating the faculty members’ self-reported perceived confidence at Kirkpatrick level 1 (evaluation of reaction) after completing basic teachers training workshops. The self-reported perceived confidence on 30 statements were analyzed by 3 categories (not confident, confident, and highly confident) on a Likert scale. Results: Out of 60 participants (18 in the 3rd and 21 each in the 4th and 5th teachers training workshops), 58 (96.67%) responded to all statements. The mean age of the participants was 34.14±5.15 years; 70.7% were male and 29.3% female. Overall, the self-reported perceived confidence level of the participants of the 3rd (pre-training median 57, post-training median 70, p <0.001), 4th (pre-training median 51, post-training median 67, p <0.001) and 5th (pre-training median 51, post-training median 68, p <0.001) training workshops was significantly increased after training. There was a noticeable change in the level of confidence of the participants after training. The observed percentage change in self-reported perceived confidence was 29.63% in those who received no training prior to joining college (n=51, 87.9%); this was 2 times more than those who received some sort of training prior to teachers training (n=7, 12.1%). Conclusion: Overall, the self-reported perceived confidence level of the participants was significantly increased after teachers training workshop.
