LECTURER PROFESSIONALISM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM STRATEGY

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to describe the strategy for the lecturer professionalism development program using a multi-case design. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data was collected using interviews, observation and documentation. Informants in this study were members of the university senate, chancellors, vice-chancellors, leaders and secretaries of quality assurance institutions, and heads and secretaries of research and community service institutions. Data analysis was carried out through individual case data analysis and across cases. Findings: The results of this study indicate that the strategy used by the university in the lecturer development program boils down to the university's long-term strategic plan (rastra); there is an institution in charge, forming a group of areas of expertise, there is a guidebook for managing lecturers, and has a philosophy as the spirit of development education. Development in education and teaching is carried out through sending doctoral programs further studies, mentoring/assistance, pedagogical training, foreign language training, other supporting training, and training in the integration of science and religion. In the field of research, qualitative and quantitative research training is carried out, forming orientations for the development of research fields, research schemes, classification and funding. In the service sector, lecturer development is done through debriefing and forming community service-based services.
