<p>Local wisdom is the precious heritage in building dignified society. Therefore, it should be explored and promoted in human life. This agenda must necessarily be carried out by an institution that has sufficient capability and capacity.Faculty as the heart of the nation with its human resources should have been involved inprocessing of thinking out the wisdom. The involvement would be done gradually and continuously from planning to transfer to the users (community) with the appropriate and accurate approaches. Revitalization and reactualization, transformation of culture, cultural development priorities, and the development of wisdom values-based character building through development, to be a step of local wisdom reactualization should be part of the theology faculty activity</p>

Faculty Mentoring: Shaping A Program

A well developed mentoring program should not be just considered another faculty activity but rather a significant program that can define a preeminent academic institution. A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) at Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) was charged with determining whether the needs of new faculty members and the institution were being addressed in a manner that would optimize the productivity, acclimation, and professional enhancement of those new faculty members who would eventually be the foundation of the institutions future. The FLC conducted a year-long study and an extensive survey in order to provide the administration with findings, suggestions, and recommendations for shaping a faculty mentoring program for the future.

Addressing Clinical Faculty Need: Creating a Process and Evaluation for Peer Review of Practice

Objectives: To describe the evolving process and evaluate the perceived value of peer review for clinical faculty. Methods: Using a 5-point Likert scale, clinical faculty rated the value of an electronic peer review process by completing an electronic 30 item survey across six areas of clinical faculty practice-related activity. Based on feedback, modifications were made and faculty were re-surveyed the following year. Results: Initially, 78% of faculty found peer review to be beneficial, mostly in the area of practice development and portions of practice dissemination. After modifications, 45% found peer review to be beneficial. Conclusions: Clinical faculty are challenged to leverage their practice into teaching and scholarly activities; however, clinical faculty often need feedback to accomplish this. Although the peer review process was designed to address perceived needs of clinical faculty, the process is dynamic and needs further refinement. Overall, clinical faculty find value in a peer review process. This evaluation of peer review illustrates the challenges to provide feedback across six key areas of clinical faculty activity.

Increases in Faculty Publishing Activity: An Analysis of ARL and ACRL Institutions

This study builds on a previous one that focused on publishing productivity of faculty at ARL institutions for the period 1991–1993. The present research expands the analysis to the period 1995–1997 and adds an examination of faculty activity at selected ACRL institutions for the two time periods. Measures of total publications and per capita publications per institution increased significantly for both groups over the two time periods. The increases indicate that, for what is likely to be a complex set of factors, faculty feel the need to communicate more and are turning to traditional print outlets for at least some of the communication. Deliberations on the future of scholarly communication should incorporate the views and practices of faculty.
