The model involves the listing of the main features andimplementation strategy for the development of academic competence.Specifically, this research aims to achieve the following research objectives: a) toidentify if there is any significant difference between locally and internationallyeducated staff in terms of capacities, b) to identify if there is any significantcorrelation between the following demographics and levels of capacity, i.teaching experience, and ii. academic position; and c) to identify the level ofcapacity effectiveness among staff? This research applies a quantitativemethodology through survey research. The sample includes 120 students in apublic university evaluating 10 staff; 5 locally educated & 5 international. Theinstruments involves a modified questionnaire from an original instrument byTengku Noorainun Tengku Shahdan (2011) The data analysis will use bothstatistical descriptive analysis – mean and standard deviation – and statisticalinference analysis – Spearman’s r correlation and Mann-Whitney U. This researchfound that there is no significant difference between locally and internationallyeducated faculties in terms of capacities when p = 0.267 (p > 0.05). For the secondresearch question, this research found that there is no significant correlationbetween teaching experience with capacity level when p=0.314. On the otherhand, there is a significant correlation between academic position with capacitylevel when p=0.032. For the third research question, this research found that bothlocally and internationally educated staff have a high level of effectiveness andsatisfactory when the overall mean score is more than 3.80. The implication ofthis research is staff must pay more attention to developing themselves throughscholarly works. |
