| Abstract: |
Faculty Research Development (FRD) in higher education institutions (HEI) is often implemented haphazardly and rarely evaluated. In this paper, we introduce a robust assessment framework (CERTi) that utilizes an overarching (Macro-level) adult-learner faculty-centric theoretical framework which incorporates using qualitative, quantitative, and economic evaluations (Micro-Level) to assess FRD efforts at HEI conjointly. The framework's cyclical approach begins by assessing FRD program effectiveness, followed by an in-depth examination of implementation practices to assess FRD program efficacy, then measures program return-on-investment (ROI), ultimately repeating the process for continuous improvement. |
