Abstract:

Teaching quality is the foundation of education quality. That is why faculty development is deemed crucial for educational quality and success in the overall educational system. This study assessed the faculty development programs of five selected private higher education institutions (HEIs) in the second and third districts of the province of Albay. A qualitative research design was used, with semi-structured interview and document analysis as tools for data gathering. Findings reveal that (1) the majority of the private HEIs’ faculty are only bachelor’s degree holders; (2) the objectives of faculty development program are similar across the private HEIs; (3) faculty performance evaluations are the private HEIs’ most used tool for training needs analysis; (4) continuing professional development practices are similar across the private HEIs; while (5) institutional support and return of service provisions vary among the private HEIs. The study also found that the common challenges faced by the private HEIs in their implementation of faculty development efforts are time and budget constraints while opportunities most available to support their faculty development programs are the scholarship grants/financial assistance from external sources, industry immersion, and reduced CPD costs with the emergence of online seminars, workshops, and conferences. A faculty development plan was created that may be used by private higher education institutions.
