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职员工对教师发展(FD)的实践与认同情况。2002年对1050名教职工进行了关于FD的问卷调查。参与调查的有512人。在这份问卷中，FD的含义仅限于教师教育能力和研究能力的发展。并从个人层面和制度层面两个方面进行了考察。问卷的回答和拒绝是自由的。结果，澄清了以下几点：(1)系统的FD活动是正式的。但随着护理学院规模的扩大，仍处于摸索阶段。(2)教师的个体关怀尚未体现在系统的FD活动中。(3)对每个教师的FD的理解和理解不尽相同。教师群体之间的FD活动难以形成共识。(4)在个人FD中，存在一个与职称相关的发展过程，本调查建议教师根据职业发展阶段制定FD项目。
