شرح التباين في مدى تطور أعضاء هيئة التدريس عبر المستويات البديهة الوظيفية و الاستعدادية للمشاركة في التعليم عن بعد : دراسة تطبيقية سعودية

الملخص EN

This study seeks to explore faculty development levels in Saudi higher education in connection with two qualities : discretion, defined as the exercise of professional judgement, and online willingness, defined as openness to a paradigm shift attaching increased importance to interactive and online education.

specifically, this study investigates the impact of each of these qualities on faculty development levels.

following a traditional scientific paradigm, the investigation centers on a quantitative analysis.

accordingly, the level of faculty development is specified in terms of the extent to which discretion is exercised and the degree of interactive deployment of online education activities.

the study produces two parameter estimates statistically significant at all levels: first, it identifies a parameter estimate of 2.26 between the development levels of faculty members who exercise discretion and professional judgement and those who do not while controlling for online willingness; second, it identifies a parameter estimate of 1.2 between the development levels of faculty members displaying online willingness and those who do not while controlling for the exercise of discretion and professional judgement.

by shedding light on the relationship of faculty discretion and online willingness to faculty development in Saudi higher education, the study contributes to the literature in a fashion particularly relevant in the context of the importance Saudi 2030 vision places on education, advanced technology, and human capital.
