Training Needs and Program of BSIT Faculty in Selected Campuses of Cavite State University: Basis for Policy Enhancement

Abstract

The proposed study aimed to contribute to the existing literature generally on the training needs and program of BSIT faculty and to enhance a policy that would support and sustain the professional growth of all faculty. The final output of the study could have been useful to the school administrators of the different campuses of Cavite State University, as it could have been used as a guide and template in decision–making towards enhancing its faculty development program policy. Hence, this study was conducted to find out the training needs of BSIT Faculty in CvSU – CCAT and other satellite campuses and assess the Industrial Technology program to be used as basis for policy enhancement.Descriptive research design was used to determine the significant difference between respondents’ assessment on the training Needs and program of BSIT in Selected Universities and Colleges and the problems encountered to develop and proposed policy enhancement.Based on the findings of the study, the conclusions include: 22.92% of BIST faculty were bachelor's degree graduates, 62.2% participated in non-formal local training, 3.57% in international training; for specialization, 50.59% participated in local training and 1.78% in international training; no significant relationship was found between academic preparation and faculty performance; and inputs to policy formulation could bridge gaps between current policies and accrediting agency evaluation criteria for faculty qualifications.
