Higher Education: Globalizing the Globalizing Process of Education.
Inoue, Yukiko
The paper asserts that in a globalized world in which more and more students change countries for their education, either virtually or in reality, and in which curriculum materials cross national borders and are incorporated into local courses, faculty development becomes increasingly important. To address the issue of improving faculty development, an attempt was made to grasp the essence of 12 Educational Resource Information Center (ERIC) digests concerning faculty development. These digests were written from various perspectives, but each contains an important aspect of faculty development in higher education. Faculty development is an ongoing process, and each faculty member must pay attention to upgrading instructional skills through mentoring, workshops, self-assessment, and networking. This paper presents an understanding of how faculty career development eventually relates to professional vitality and institutional productivity. An appendix contains a classification and definition of faculty development. (Contains 27 references.) (Author/SLD)
