Abstract

Faculty development programs are very crucial to provide quality education to university students.

These programs can be enhanced through indulging in latest technologies and adopting teaching strategies.  A mixed-methods research methodology was used in this study to assess how faculty development programs in Pakistani institutions contribute to the advancement of creative teaching practices. First, a quantitative strategy involved polling faculty members to find out how they feel about the current faculty development programs and how many of them participate in them. Second, in order to acquire a deeper understanding of the efficacy of these programs and pinpoint any obstacles to their implementation, qualitative methodologies were utilized in faculty and program administrator interviews. A thorough grasp of the influence of faculty development programs on promoting creative teaching practices in Pakistani universities be possible through the combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews.
