Teachers play a significant role in the preparation of our youth as they make important decisions about education, work, and life.  Existing studies on the correlations between teaching proficiency and academic performance of the students are primarily limited to elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Considering the big difference between advance higher education and other educational levels, there is a need to explore the relationship of the teaching proficiency to the academic performance of the students in advance higher education. This study made use of the descriptive-correlation research design. Survey questionnaires were distributed to all advance higher education faculty members and students from School Years 2015 to 2017 at Northwest Samar State University. Statistical tools like frequency and percentage distribution, means, standard deviations, and regression analysis were used for the analysis of the data. Results showed that most of the advance higher education faculty members are male, married, doctorate holders, professionals, research-oriented, very satisfactory performers, and possess good financial status. The best predictor of the academic performance of the advance higher education students is the work experience of the faculty members.

For the aim of this study, a sample of 247 higher education faculty members were therefore collected. Multiple linear regression was conducted for data analysis. Results have shown that university-type accommodation services, training, academic rank, and university region are statistically significant predictors of higher education faculty members’ attitudes toward the inclusion for students with high incidence disabilities in higher education.

The Impact

This quantitative research study discovered and identified the degree of relationships between the domains of multiple intelligences: (a) interpersonal, (b) intrapersonal, and (c) linguistic intelligences, and (d) leadership and demographic characteristics such as, (a) age, (b) gender and (c) ethnicity among higher education faculty. Using a survey instrument, primary data was collected from a sample of 205 faculty members within the United States. Furthermore, the researcher examined and analyzed certain aspects of the field of leadership, and the impact Gardner’s multiple intelligences may or may not have on leadership selection, training and development based on the results obtained. This paper provides a summary of the study and its results along with possible implications and recommendations for administrators, managers and leaders in academia.

<p>Although there is a wealth of research to support the notion that the American professoriate it is not as racially and ethnically diverse as it could and should be, very little research has focused on the particular academic backgrounds of Higher Education faculty members in American universities. The purpose of the study is to examine the academic backgrounds of higher education administration faculty members (all ranks of professors, lecturers, and clinical staff; n = 119) employed at America’s top 10 universities for Higher Education Administration according to the 2016 list compiled by U.S. News &amp; World Report. Findings suggest that Liberal Arts (62% of Bachelor’s degrees) produce the most faculty members, while Education (5%) produces nearly the fewest amounts. Findings also suggest that Psychology, Sociology, Economics, and English are the most common undergraduate academic fields producing higher education faculty members, yet these are academic pathways that Black/African-American and Hispanic/Latino undergraduates rarely take, possibly contributing to the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the higher education professoriate and other related fields. Implications for policy, practice, and future research are addressed.</p>
