Q & A

What is the purpose of this Faculty Developer Training Course?

The purpose of this course is to help participants understand and contribute to Faculty Development (FD) in their organizations. The course aims to build skills in explaining FD's current state, planning its future development, and networking with other institutions for mutual improvement.

What are the four main learning goals of the intermediate-level Faculty Developer Training Course?

The four main learning goals are: 1) Explaining the current state of FD in the participant's organization, 2) Clarifying their role and contribution to FD, 3) Developing a concrete plan for FD development in the organization, and 4) Exchanging ideas with other universities to enhance FD.

What are the two main components of the training course?

The course consists of on-demand training (online videos) and a face-to-face training session. Participants must complete the on-demand training before attending the in-person session.

What should participants do before attending the face-to-face session?

Before attending the face-to-face session, participants are required to watch the on-demand training videos and complete two pre-course reports: one reflecting on the videos and another detailing their organization's FD state and their contributions.

What is the focus of the on-demand training videos?

The on-demand training videos cover three main topics: 1) University organization theory and FD management, 2) Creating a system to promote FD, and 3) Evaluating FD and developing as a faculty developer.

What is the content of the second pre-course report?

The second report requires participants to discuss their institution's FD vision, goals, and current state. They should also reflect on their personal contributions to FD, any changes or improvements they've initiated, and propose solutions to address FD challenges in the short, medium, and long term.

How will participants' reports be evaluated?

Reports will be evaluated based on their alignment with the course's learning goals. After submitting their reports, participants will receive feedback during the face-to-face session, where they will work with peers and mentors to refine and improve their submissions.

What is expected from participants during the face-to-face training session?

During the face-to-face session, participants will receive feedback on their reports, collaborate with other participants to refine their ideas, and engage in networking and information exchange with colleagues from other universities.

What are the criteria for receiving a certificate for this course?

Participants will receive a certificate if they complete all face-to-face sessions, meet the learning goals, and successfully demonstrate their ability to engage with others (Goal 4). They must also show that they have achieved learning goals 1–3 through their reports.

What happens if a participant’s report is not up to the required standards?

If a participant’s report is not up to the required standards, they may receive conditional feedback or be asked to resubmit their report after gaining more experience in FD. Participants have one year to resubmit their reports for re-evaluation.
