Faculty Perspectives on Baldwin and Chang's Mid-Career Faculty Development Model
Pastore, Donna L.
Journal of Faculty Development, v27 n2 25-32 May 2013
The purpose of this study was to determine the merit and applicability of the mid-career faculty development model proposed by Baldwin and Chang (2006). A total of 7 associate and 10 full professors participated in semi-structured interviews. Categories were developed from an inductive analysis. The results showed positive support for the model and revealed that participants perceived the importance of reflection and assessment. Participants focused on short term goals and agreed with career plans, and identified collegial support, time/sabbaticals, release time, and travel funds as central resources. Lastly, the participants supported reinforcement, but emphasized showing appreciation across the board. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
