Produktbeschreibung

Due to the impact of globalization and technological innovations faculty members professional development has gained a vital role in higher education institutions. Faculty members are the ones who prepare suitable teaching and learning environments starting from curriculum work and extending to student support and guidance. Faculty members have to develop themselves in these areas by improving their professional skills in teaching and learning. Adult learning theories suggest that faculty members needs should be considered for efficient faculty development. Furthermore, learning may not be achieved if faculty members don t believe in professional development in general and ICT-based professional development in particular. Therefore, for technology enhanced professional development, identifying faculty beliefs and needs is essential. For this purpose, three instruments were designed and implemented for exploring beliefs and needs of faculty members in an international university.
