ARTICLE INFORMATION

ABSTRACT

Article History:

This study is undertaken to analyze the needs for training and development among graduate school professors in a Private Higher Educational Institution (PHEI) based on the performance standards and indicators during the Academic Year 2016-2017. The researcher utilized descriptive cross-sectional design of research and statistical tools for the analysis of data. The findings revealed that the professors are outstanding in meeting the objectives of the graduate school program. They provide opportunities for independent study, utilize instructional materials with depth and breadth expected for the graduate level, require students to make extensive use of print and nonprint reference materials, use instructional procedures and techniques to encourage active students’ interaction; use interdisciplinary and/or multidisciplinary approaches, whenever possible; and enforce definite rules and policies for effective classroom management. Moreover, they are also outstanding in the implementation of evaluation of students’ performance using researches, term papers, projects and other requirements as indicators of the scholarly level of student achievement in every course, and in giving final examination to measure the breadth and depth of student’s competency. However, they are just satisfactory in demonstrating mastery of research skills as shown by their limited number of research output, research-related activities and publications. Thus, professional growth and development through further studies, research engagement and publications, and sharing of knowledge or expertise with other institutions, agencies and the community can be initiated among faculty members.
