All endeavors were devoted to investigate the views and feelings of stakeholders on the implementation of teachers’ professional development and its contribution to sustain academic programs quality at Adama University. A case study that constitutes qualitative and quantitative method was employed. In an attempt to achieve the objectives of the study, evidences were collected from students, staff members, professional development program coordinators, and management bodies. The data-collecting instruments for obtaining relevant information were questionnaires, interview, observation, and document analysis. The finding in relation to this study uncovers the fact that though continuous professional development has been perceived as the most useful avenue of teachers continuous and lifelong learning, for the most part, it is relegated to adhoc committees or interested group or institutional units in the system of university education/training. Moreover, the absence of PDP in the university organizational structure, clear mission and vision, defined and well-articulated policy, strategic plan, representatives in university senate meetings, adequate resources, well-identified and -preserved training facilities, and unit library were circumstances that in one way or another negatively affected the provision of effective professional development programs/trainings that may have adverse effect in the deliberation of quality education/training in Adama University.

The Impact

This study determined the acquired knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of medical and health librarians in the Philippines on the impact of Library 2.0. The study verified the level of awareness and revealed the gaps among medical and health librarians in the use, creation and adaptation of Library 2.0 tools especially in informing, educating and empowering their users. It also recognized which technology is more common to Health Science Librarians, Library 1.0 or Library 2.0, in the time of abrupt technological changes. Furthermore, the study evaluated if the librarians have learned from the previous seminars conducted by MAHLAP (or from other library organizations) on the topic of emerging technologies and Web 2.0 through demonstration of applied skills as referred by the indicators set by technical competencies for health librarians. The study had surveyed 43 health and medical librarians in the Luzon area. Two kinds of questionnaires were sent out. First is for the off icers of the Medical and Health Librarians Association of the Philippines and second is for the medical and health librarians. The first survey will determine if they allow the researcher to use MAHLAP as its collaborator for the study. The second survey is for MAHLAP members listed in the 2009 online directory. The research introduced the draft technical competencies prepared for the medical and health librarians in the Philippines and its importance for a national and coordinated staff development program that is geared towards the improvement of their skills and knowledge that is relevant to the current demands of the library users and services.

When Charles Wagley moved from Columbia University to the University of Florida (UF) in 1972, he established the Tropical South America Program. In this program he began an enduring legacy at UF of interdisciplinarity, collaborative research and training focused on the problems and solutions of tropical development, and support for students as future leaders. Reaching out to agricultural researchers and other social science disciplines, Wagley later co-founded and directed the Amazon Research and Training Program (ARTP), and remained active even after his retirement in 1983. The ARTP built on Wagley's strategy of supporting student research and building collaboration with partners in Latin America, and innovated in bringing in visiting professors from different disciplines, developing new interdisciplinary courses, and networking among Amazonian scholars in different countries. Wagley's most lasting contribution is the Tropical Conservation and Development (TCD) program, which grew out of the ARTP to become an internationally-recognized interdisciplinary graduate program focused on the intersection between biodiversity conservation and the well-being of people in the tropical world. Drawing on participation from over 100 faculty affiliates in 27 academic units at UF, since 1980 the ARTP and TCD programs have trained over 400 graduate students from two dozen countries.

This study aimed to determine the acculturation staff nurses who are non-CCMC (Cebu City Medical Center) graduates. The findings were basis for the enhancement of staff development program through fast track preceptorship. Specifically, it sought to answer the following queries: (1) what is the profile of the respondents as to age, gender, civil status, area of assignment, school graduated, and length of service; (2) what is the degree of acculturation of the respondents; (3) is there a significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the degree of acculturation; (4) what can be proposed to enhance the staff development program?The research setting was Cebu City Medical Center Nursing Service Department in Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. The respondents of the study were 70 staff nurses who were non-CCMC graduates. The researchers utilized a 20-item researcher-made questionnaire which were based on the CCMC rules and guidelines. The descriptive-correlational design was used.Majority of the respondents were 30-49 years old, female, and married. Most of them were assigned in the neonatal surgical care unit. Majority of the respondents graduated from the University of the Visayas, and has served CCMC for 1-5 years.The degree of acculturation of the respondents was high. However, there were three areas with low to moderate acculturation: reading of magazines during duty; use of mobile phones; and willingness to render 16 hours duty when the need arises. Only gender has a significant relationship to the degree of acculturation. This study proposed a two-week orientation program through fast track preceptorship to improve and enhance the degree and level of acculturation among non-CCMC graduate staff nurses.
