Faculty Development and Evaluation in Higher Education. ERIC/Higher Education Research Report No. 8, 1976.
Smith, Albert B.
The position taken in this paper is that the distinction usually made between faculty evaluation and faculty development is not altogether valid. In most cases, these two programs share the goal of the improvement of college teaching, as well as sharing many programming elements, policies, and procedures. This research focuses on the extent to which currently proposed models of faculty development and evaluation have been implemented in higher education. It also reviews some of the current research on student, colleague, administrator, and self-evaluation of college teachers. Four faculty development and three faculty evaluation programs illustrate the dynamic nature of current programs, and one program attempts to combine the two concepts into "growth contracting."
