Abstract

The present study examines the inf luence of faculty development – specifically the Professional Development Programme (PDP) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) – on teaching styles. Canfield and Canfield’s Instructional Styles Inventory (ISI) (1988) is used to measure teacher-focused and student-focused teaching styles in sample populations with and without PDP intervention, and analyses are run for all disciplines combined. The findings suggest that the PDP accelerates an overall shift towards student-focused teaching styles. The paper identifies key issues and strategies for promoting faculty development through PDP.
