| description | Professional development is a continuous process of individual
and experimental tests that must empower individual
educators to make complex decisions; to identify and to solve
problems; to connect theory and practice in learners’ output;
and to enable educators to offer learning opportunities to
students and prepare them in terms of provided world class
standards and citizen responsibilities of adults inspired by these
assumptions, the presentstudy aimed to identify factors affecting
the professional development of its faculty members. The
statistical sample consisted of 209 individuals all of whom were
faculty members of the Islamic Azad University, Ilam Branch,
Iran that were studied by a census method. The survey instrument
was a research-made questionnaire whose content and face
validity was confirmed by a panel of experts and its reliability
coefficient turned out to be at a desirable level. SPSS21 software
and factor analysis technique were employed to analyze the collected
data. The results of the factor analysis showed that four
development services such as structural-service maturity, institutional
directorial maturity, personal and character maturity
and network-social maturity were identified as factors affecting
the professional development of faculty members which explained
50.89% of the total variance altogether. |
