CG5: Faculty development: Policies, Organizational challenges and professional development
Co-Moderator:
The group will analyze and compare how faculty and instructors across different universities and organizations develop competencies related to teaching and learning. This will include an exploration of institutional policies, organizational challenges, and the individual motivations behind skill development for improved teaching practices. Faculty development programs will be examined, and various opportunities for professional growth will be discussed collaboratively during the group work.
The relevance of this CGW is to understand the efforts made by the different countries for transforming and innovating teaching and learning through faculty development strategies and practices.
Therefore, the expected learning outcomes of this CGW are related to:
- Knowledge about HEIs policies related to professional development of faculty.
- Organizational and institutional strategies to promote faculty development.
- Programs, actions/practices implemented for promoting professional development and teaching innovation.
