|---|---|---|
As with any concerted effort to encourage growth and development, there is a need to establish mechanisms for observing progress. To encourage students to engage with continuous professional development (CPD) there is a need to understands students' engagement and the level of importance (LP) that students attach to varying aspect of CPD across subject areas, skill areas and activities types. At current there is limited research into students' perception of the LP of varying aspects of CPD; and furthermore, there is no specific study elaborating on students' perspective on said individual aspects. This paper argues that students attach varying levels of importance to different aspects of professional development ranging across said areas. Firstly, the Concept of CPD and the items of professional development considered in the study are introduced. Then, the paper elucidates on the relevance and preponderance of understanding student's perception on the LP of certain aspects of CPD. After describing the data collection and analysis process, light is shed on patterns of note in the data, especially those that strongly align with or stand in contrast to expectations. Lastly, a description is given of plausible further applications of the results of this study particularly regarding CPD related research. |
