Abstract

This study is an assessment of the faculty development programs of St. Dominic College of Asia for academic years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. Using the institutional semantic scale which highlights objectives, topic, speaker/facilitator, program management, and amenities and accommodation, the study utilized the descriptive design of research using universal sampling of faculty members with a retrieval rate of 85%. The results show that in general, the overall impact of seminars is extremely effective with the exception of seminars on Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP), action research, and problem-based learning that were rated highly effective. Meanwhile, the evaluation also demonstrates that the topics and speakers who facilitated the seminar were extremely effective. However, least effective among the aspects of the faculty development program is in the area of program management. Thus, it has been recommended to expose the faculty to more seminars and training on student-centeredness and research, as well as to plan for the program particularly carefully and intensively on time management and learning materials like handouts used.

Keywords: Faculty development program; evaluation; seminars; student-centeredness.
