Abstract:
|
Examining Professional Development of Academic Advisors in Higher Education
Academic advisors in higher education impact student success, yet no standards exist for professional development of academic advisors. The lack of clearly defined and practical professional development standards creates inconsistency in advising quality and potential barriers for students to persist and thrive. The purpose of this study was to investigate professional development experiences of academic advisors at postsecondary institutions. The study utilized the sample of 1,346 advisors from the Global Community for Academic Advising. Through survey research design, the study explored participants' engagement in and attitudes about professional development, as well as the relationship between professional development and perceived job performance and job satisfaction. This paper will discuss results obtained from this research investigation, as well as implications for research and practice. |
