Abstract

The purpose of this study is to diagnose the level of teaching competency and propose a teaching competency priority and teaching competency program by analyzing the difference in perception between the importance and implementation of the competency. For this purpose, data from 175 University F faculty members who participated in the survey were analyzed using paired-sample t-test, Borich needs assessment, and The Locus for Focus model. As a result of the study, first, significant differences in teaching competency were found by major, gender, rank, and number of participation in teaching methods programs. Second, for some competencies, significant differences were found between the importance and degree of implementation by employment experience and age. Third, as a result of comparing The Locus for Focus model analysis and Borich needs analysis, the teaching competencies that need to be developed as a top priority to strengthen teaching competency were motivational design competency, learning outcome evaluation and feedback competency, and lifelong learner competency. And, the next-highest priority competency was professional development regarding educational content and class time management competency. Based on the research results, a professor capacity building program considering characteristics such as professor experience was proposed. The significance of this study is that the programs proposed for each competency can be used as basic data for establishing and improving faculty support programs at other universities.
