Evaluation of an In-service Training Program Given to the New Faculty at a Higher Education Institution

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an in-service training program given to the new faculty working at the School of Foreign Languages at a public university in Turkey in terms of implementation and effectiveness. The study adopted a qualitative case study design. The data were collected by semi-structured interview method from 12 lecturers who attended the in-service training program. At the end of the study, it was found that the in-service training program has contributed significantly to the new faculty members’ feeling competent and their professional development. The results of this study are expected to provide the administrators working in higher education institutions with the necessary information they will need to develop effective in-service training programs for the training of new faculty members or to improve existing programs.
