The Recognition and Situation of Practicing of Faculty Development Among The teaching staff of university school of nursing in Japan

本调查旨在了解日本大学护理学院教师对教师发展（FD）的实践和认识情况。二零零二年，我们对1,050名教学人员进行了问卷调查。512人参与了调查。在本问卷中，FD的意义仅限于教师的教育能力和研究能力的发展。并从个人层面和系统层面两个方面进行了研究。对问卷的回答和拒绝是保证的，自由的。因此，澄清如下：(1)系统的FD活动是正式的。但随着大学护理学院的不断壮大，护理专业仍处于摸索阶段。(2)教师的个体关怀尚未在系统的FD活动中得到体现。(3)每位教师FD的理念和解读都不一样。教师群体之间很难对FD活动达成共识。(4)个人FD存在与职称相关的发展过程。本研究建议应根据教师职业发展的阶段来发展FD项目。
