Faculty development programs (FDPs) positively impact career growth and teaching skills, especially for experienced educators. These programs are crucial for institutional benefit, faculty resilience, and innovation in higher education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Higher Education Pedagogy
Background:
- Faculty development programs (FDPs) are vital for enhancing teaching competence and professionalism in higher education.
- These programs foster reflective practice, continuous learning, and adaptability to evolving pedagogical demands.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate faculty perceptions of FDP effectiveness across five domains: institutional benefit, career development, competency motives, professional development, and faculty resilience and innovation.
- To identify predictors of perceived improvement in teaching performance.
Main Methods:
- A single-center, cross-sectional study conducted at CMH Lahore & IOD over nine months.
- Data collected via a validated questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha = 0.822) from 153 faculty members.
- Quantitative analysis included descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests, chi-square, and binary logistic regression.
Main Results:
- Most faculty perceived FDPs positively influenced career development, competency, and professional growth.
- Strong consensus that FDPs benefit institutions and foster faculty resilience and innovation.
- Professional experience (p < 0.05) and gender influenced perceptions of FDP effectiveness, with experienced male faculty reporting higher scores.
Conclusions:
- FDPs significantly enhance faculty competence and teaching performance, particularly for experienced educators.
- Faculty perceive FDPs as effective across institutional benefit, career development, competency, professional growth, resilience, and innovation.
- Findings support targeted, evidence-based FDPs, emphasizing the role of faculty experience in optimizing outcomes.
