Effectiveness of Lecturer Development Programs in the Context of Higher Education Management
Abstract
As time goes by, changes always occur. This can be seen in the education sector where the need for education is increasingly urgent in order to improve the quality of higher education through lecturer development. Higher education plays a crucial role in the formation of quality human resources, and skilled and continuously developing lecturers have a direct impact on the student learning experience. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the effectiveness of lecturer development programs in the context of higher education management. The aim of this research is to assess the extent to which lecturer development programs can achieve the goal of increasing their teaching competencies and skills. The research method used is a qualitative research method involving a survey of lecturers who have participated in the program, analysis of academic performance, and in-depth interviews. The research results show that the majority of lecturers experience continuous improvement in understanding, use of innovative teaching methods, and involvement in research. In addition, the lecturer development program succeeded in motivating participants to innovate in teaching methods, increase the competitiveness of higher education, and strengthen relationships between lecturers and students. Through lecturer development programs, universities can achieve improvements in the quality of teaching and research, which in turn improves the institution's reputation. The conclusion of this research is that this program is effective in increasing lecturer competency, which has a positive impact on the overall quality of higher education. Thus, investment in lecturer development programs can be considered a sustainable strategy to advance the quality of higher education and achieve the goal of developing quality human resources.
