Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
This study was carried out by using a questionnaire survey. The Cronbach’s Alpha value for the questionnaire was calculated as 0.956, a value of which is considered as reliable. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out by using SPSS software version 22.0 in order to identify the level of professional practice. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the level of professional practice among polytechnic lecturers was generally at a moderate level.Certain attributes such as publishing practices, collaborative networks and research, however, were found to be at a medium low level. However, the practice of work ethics, course contents and pedagogy are all at a highly satisfactory level. This situation clearly shows a pattern which portrays that lecturers’ common practices are the highest mean score while the rest of the new assessment elements in the scheme of educational service for higher education (PPPT) such as research, collaborative networks and publications have not been fully mastered by polytechnic lecturers.
