| Summary: | The purpose of this study was two fold. Firstly, it was to provide an in depth
qualitative analysis of the perceptions of the two major stakeholders in a small
private higher education institution (PHEI) on teaching staff professional
development. Secondly, it was to understand how these perceptions affected the
development of appropriate strategies. This study employed the generic qualitative
research approach. The samples used were two administrators and three full time
teaching staff, purposively selected in the small college studied. Two instruments for
data collection were used, namely semi-structured video recorded interview and
document analysis. A content analysis of documents provided by the participants and
gathered by the researcher was made. These provided data and method triangulation. (Author's abstract) |
