Abstract

How to evaluate a faculty development program and the teaching performance of professors can be problematic. On the one hand, the Higher Education Academy does recognize the professionalism of teaching and learning of professors and has achieved certain results by certifying more than 85,000 fellows since 2006. The evaluation method of the Higher Education Academy is interesting as a successful case. Therefore we visited the head office of Higher Education Academy (HEA) and interviewed their International Team. In this paper, we will introduce overviews of “HEA fellowships” and “HEA accreditation.” All evaluations are based on a detailed framework, the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF), and this framework is composed of three dimensions: Areas of Activity, Core Knowledge and Professional Values. The “HEA Fellowship Categories” evaluates individual professors, not only by educational ability but also their careers in education according to the UKPSF. With “HEA accreditation” this evaluates the programs for professional development and based on what kind of ability is developed through it according to the UKPSF. For applications, you have to produce reports in the form of templates, with evidential materials attached. These are reviewed by a committee that makes a decision on whether to award accreditation.
