The document provides an evaluation of UNLV's hybrid learning program between 2010-2012. It finds that the number of hybrid courses offered annually at UNLV has been increasing, with 100 hybrid courses offered during that period. The majority of instructors teaching hybrid courses had misconceptions about what constitutes a hybrid course. Most instructors also felt they lacked adequate training to teach hybrid courses. The evaluation recommends establishing clear definitions for different instruction modes, creating procedures for high-quality course development, and providing training for instructors on best practices for hybrid learning.
This document discusses the nature of teaching practice and the need for professional training of teachers. It argues that teaching is "unnatural work" that requires specialized skills not common in everyday life. Specifically, it notes that teachers must ask questions to which they already know the answers, carefully attend to students' thinking in order to identify misunderstandings, and suspend aspects of their own identities and interests to act in students' interests. It contends that experience alone is not sufficient for teachers to develop these unnatural skills, and that professional training should be the core of teacher preparation in order to directly improve instructional practice. The training would involve unpacking teaching into its components, providing examples and demonstrations, and giving opportunities for practice and feedback to help
This document discusses the nature of teaching practice and the need for professional training of teachers. It argues that teaching is "unnatural work" that requires specialized skills not developed through everyday experiences. While helping others learn is common, professional classroom teaching requires skills like intentionally structuring learning opportunities, assessing student understanding, and maintaining attention on students' perspectives - which do not come naturally. The work of teaching is complex, involving managing interactions between teachers, students, and content to promote learning. Well-designed, practice-focused training is needed to help people learn to do this specialized work and improve significantly on what can be learned through experience alone.

LEADERSHIP AND CORPORATE CHARACTER KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF CORPORATE CHARACTERPROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS CHARACTER
What is the definition of a character?
Britannica Dictionary definition of CHARACTER. 1. [Count]: the way someone thinks, feels, and behaves: someone's personality — usually singular. He rarely shows his true character—that of a kind and sensitive person.
Leadership vs Character
Great leadership is a combination of competence, character, and commitment. Character is an individual's unique combination of internalized beliefs and moral habits that motivates and shapes how that individual relates to others.
Why Character Matters in Leadership
Every leader wants to be successful. But sometimes, the results achieved come at the cost of character. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. suggested that the most dangerous person is likely gifted with reason but no morals. A blind passion for results damages a leader's reputation and the organization. Evidence from workplace studies on the benefits of character suggests that leaders with high character scores outperform others on company performance metrics. Leadership behaviors guide actions, but a leader's character determines how and if the leader acts. Great leadership is a combination of competence, character, and commitment. This article provides three practical steps to help you develop your character strengths and pass your next character test.
Why is Character Important to Your Success?
Leadership creates moments not defined by policy or procedures - situations where leaders have to choose between right and right.
Every day you make character decisions, consciously or unconsciously, such as between speed or quality and long-term or short-term results. The impact of these decisions either reinforces your team's desired or undesired thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In a study of executive leaders and their organizations over a two-year period, CEOs who scored high on aspects of character had an average return on assets (ROA) of 9.35%, in contrast to CEOs with low ratings had a ROA of 1.93%.
Leadership character is shown to align the leader-follower relationship, increasing both leader and follower productivity, effectiveness, and creativity. Leadership character plays a vital role in unifying a team.
Followers will give more when they respect the leader's character. A focus on helping others is essential to providing effective strategic leadership. Also, character helps leaders navigate change more effectively.
Our purpose in this volume is to introduce you to the concepts of strategic public relations. Our basic assumption is that you have some general knowledge of management and business terminology; we will help you to apply that to the discipline of public relations. Our text is based in current research and scholarly knowledge of the public relations discipline as well as years of experience in professional public relations practice.
Whether you are reading this book to teach a new field, simply to update your knowledge, or as part of an educational program or course, we value every moment that you spend with it. Therefore, we have eliminated much of the academic jargon found in other books and used a straightforward writing style. We tried to make the chapters short enough to be manageable, but packed with information, without an overreliance on complicated examples or charts and diagrams. We hope that our no-nonsense approach will speed your study.
We use a few original public relations case studies that we have written for you so that you can see the concepts we discuss illustrated and applied. This book is divided into three large parts:
What is fraud?
A fraud is defined as a wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. "He was convicted of fraud" a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
What is Fraud Law?
In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong.
The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, for example by obtaining a passport, travel document, or driver's license, or mortgage fraud, where the perpetrator may attempt to qualify for a mortgage by way of false statements.
Terminology
Fraud can be defined as either a civil wrong or a criminal act. For civil fraud, a government agency or person or entity harmed by fraud may bring litigation to stop the fraud, seek monetary damages, or both. For criminal fraud, a person may be prosecuted for the fraud and potentially face fines, incarceration, or both.
Civil law
In common law jurisdictions, as a civil wrong, fraud is a tort While the precise definitions and requirements of proof vary among jurisdictions, the requisite elements of fraud as a tort generally are the intentional misrepresentation or concealment of an important fact upon which the victim is meant to rely, and in fact does rely, to the harm of the victim. Proving fraud in a court of law is often said to be difficult as the intention to defraud is the key element in question. As such, proving fraud comes with a "greater evidentiary burden than other civil claims". This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that some jurisdictions require the victim to prove fraud by clear and convincing evidence.
The remedies for fraud may include rescission (i.e., reversal) of a fraudulently obtained agreement or transaction, the recovery of a monetary award to compensate for the harm caused, punitive damages to punish or deter the misconduct, and possibly others.
In cases of a fraudulently induced contract, fraud may serve as a defense in a civil action for breach of contract or specific performance of contract. Similarly, fraud may serve as a basis for a court to invoke its equitable jurisdiction.

Preface
This book is based on various experiences in research with student, practitioner and teacher in the Rudolph Kwanue University across the World. The difficulties they faced in understanding research as students, the discoveries about what was applicable and inapplicable in the field as practitioner, and development of the ability to effectively communicate difficult concepts in simple language without avoiding technicality and accuracy have become the basis of this book.
Research methodology is taught as a supporting subject in several ways in many academic disciplines such as health, education, psychology, social work, nursing, public health, library studies, Business and marketing research. The core philosophical base for this book comes from the conviction that, although these disciplines vary in content, their broad approach to a research enquiry is similar. This book, therefore, is addressed to these academic disciplines.
It is true that some disciplines place greater emphasis on quantitative research and some on qualitative research. This Book’s approach to research is a combination of both. Firstly, it is the objective that should decide whether a study be carried out adopting a qualitative or a quantitative approach. Secondly, in real life most research is a combination of both methods.
Though they differ in the philosophy that underpins their mode of enquiry, to a great extent their broad approach to enquiry is similar. The quantitative research process is reasonably well structured whereas the qualitative one is fairly unstructured, and these are their respective strengths as well as weaknesses. This Book strongly believed that both are important to portray a complete picture. In addition, there are aspects of quantitative research that are qualitative in nature. It depends upon how a piece of information has been collected and analyzed.
STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING MONITORING AND SUPERVISORY SKILLS FOR EFFECTIVE LEAD...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
ABSTRACT
The study's goal is to look into and predict the difficulties of effective Leadership in both Public and Private sector experienced in the 2024 AML/CFT and to strengthen their Leadership monitoring and supervisory ability and positions in the Fight against Financial Crime for the year ahead, and to alleviate the negative consequences and impact on professional in the Financial Institutions and we also seek to access their trainings, management objectives, motivation, and communication on supervisory roles. The study established four objectives: (1) The hypotheses: investigated reveals that professional training has a favorable influence on supervisory skills, (2) AML has less trained professional and less significance effect on supervisory skills, (3) No Motivations has less or no effect on supervisory skilled Personnel, (4) and none professional Communication posed by supervisory leadership positions have a negative association to the work of AML. Traditional statistical procedures were used to test the results, as well as the usage of chi-square to evaluate significant levels. The suggestions offered would assist leaders in Sierra Leone’s Financial and Business Institutions system in improving their supervision and Monitoring abilities and competencies by using predictive Technologies in the year 2024.
THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IN COMBATING FINANCIAL CRIME IN THE AFRICAN...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
The Need for Effective Leadership is to Promote the fight against Financial Crime in Africa and help to advance Africa Trade Development Agenda
Financial Crime is a major African problem, and combating it requires effective leadership at all levels.
Africa remains at high risk of Financial Crime distress, and the risks have risen in the context of recent large fiscal deficits...
All sectors of African’s Leadership must either act now or never! African Leaders often say that criminal activities are like a lifestyle in the African’s continent: but if left undealt with, the consequences will have adverse effect and will destroy the economic development of Africa and lessen the trust in our Public and Private Institutions. Similarly, leaders must build up effective Political governance within their institutions, the Will and capacity needed to crack down on Financial Crime agents or agencies in the areas of Money Laundering, Counter Terrorism Financing, Fraud, Drug deals, Bribery and Corruption and smugglers, why? Because these criminals have a lot of criminal strategies to evade our African Territories – for example, if they are restricted in the land routes – they would use sea routes- when they are restricted on the seas they use the air. That’s why targeted interventions often have limited impact on Financial Crime and criminal activities in Africa: we need to look at the Leadership capacities and effectiveness in pursing the African Continental Free Trade Zone Area agenda as a big picture, besides the good initiatives and benefits therein it also has negative sides effect of its to tell the whole story of how the criminals are moving on Roads, Seas and air (aviation industry), and the poor border crossing security Agencies of Nations in Africa. This Book intends to tell the story of the poor suffering African’s people with few livelihood options. It is a complex story, with many interconnections; at the heart of which the African Continental Free Trade Zone area lies. While Africa has spread a plethora of beneficial innovations around the world, it has also had many negative consequences in both large and small countries through illicit financial outflows: in fact, security problems in the entire nations of Africa are closely related to the development challenges posed by the Money Laundered to finance Terrorism and Civil Conflicts of Africa. Though the side effects of Financial Crime are particularly strong in the African’s poorest countries those least equipped to respond to these impacts are more vulnerable.
This Book looks at how the role of effective Leadership contributes in the fight beyond specific countries Against Financial Crime and illicit financial flows (fin-iffs) in the African region. The Book zeroed in on Financial Crime, illicit Financial Flows, like Money Laundering, Bribery and Corruption and illicit trade to illustrate the larger scale and the need for effectiveness of African Leaders to combat this menaced:

THINKING ON HOW TO KILL THE KILLER BEFORE HE KILLS US ALL WHO IS THE KILLER? ...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
INTRODUCTION
Who is or what is the true Killer of African People? This question has being playing on my mind for years’ and years to months and months to weeks and to days. Well today is the day I attempted to search for answers and to know the true killer of my African People. This article will attempts to suggest some of the killers or what killers African People. This article is not the final answers to the entire Problem. However, I intended to limit the discussions on Political Corruption as one of the main factors that kills everything in the hands of African. So let look at some definitions and characteristics of Political Corruption and its effect in our social-economic development of Africa.
For the purpose of this article I will define corruption and the type of corruption we have
PART 1. Corruption: Its Meaning, Type, and Real-World Example
Introduction Corruption has recently been the subject of substantial theorizing and empirical research, and this has produced a bewildering array of alternative approaches, explanations, typologies and remedies. Corruption is understood as everything from the paying of bribes to civil servants and the simple theft of public purses, to a wide range of dubious economic and political practices in which businesspeople, politicians and bureaucrats enrich themselves. The issue of corruption is an old one, that has re-entered the current political and economic debate from the new interest in the role of the state in the developing world, and from the assumption that the state is an indispensable instrument for economic development, redistribution and welfare. In contrast to the largely rejected “state-dominated” and “state-less” development models, there is now much consensus on the need for an efficient medium-sized state apparatus with a political will and adequate economic policies to ensure economic development. Corruption is seen as counter-productive to the needed economic and political reforms, accountability, transparency, and good governance. The intention of this paper is to classify the various forms of corruption in order to operationalize the concept for analytical and practical purposes. First, different forms of corruption will be outlined. Secondly, corruption will be defined as a particular state-society relationship, and the distinction made between political corruption and bureaucratic corruption. Then two more distinctions will be added, namely between “individual” and “collective” forms of corruption, and corruption as a mechanism of either “upward extraction” or “downward redistribution”. This will sum up to the basic argument that the fight against corruption will have to be placed within a broader agenda of democratization.
This certificate of attendance certifies that an individual attended a Fin-Crime Summit on combating financial crimes. The summit was entitled "The Need for Effective Leadership in Combating Financial Crimes" and was held on September 30, 2023. The individual was awarded 10 continuing development points for attending.
The purpose of this Book is to clear the misunderstanding of many Leaders in the corporate world. Those who believed and lived with the notions that best leaders are meant for the Corporate World and evolution of good leadership is in the world of business; I would want them to have a rethink as I explained the social and societal evolution of good leadership that has impacted the corporate world today. Please come along with me to some historical contextual truth derived from this concept of leadership. This book will deal with styles and concepts of leadership and help to build your understanding as to what is needed to be good leaders in Society. From Chapter to Chapter you will see the chronological order of leaders’ leadership and duty requires of them for better Society, Nations and the World at large.
When people talk about leadership, they mostly want to learn how to be good leaders at work. Leadership in the corporate context is one of the hottest topics in the world, and everyone wants to learn how to become a billionaire and be the best possible boss. However, leadership is not just limited to the work frontier; it extends to all of society. In fact, leadership began as a societal phenomenon much before it evolved into a professional one. In fact, many of the present-day leadership qualities that corporate and professional leaders aspire to are based on the social and political leaders of the yesteryears.
Human beings are social animals and living together in large groups naturally meant that people needed to adopt different roles and accomplish different groups. In order to give structure to society and help society grow and develop, people were naturally divided into leaders and followers. The leaders paved the way and moved from one frontier to another, directing the others, while the followers completed the tasks assigned to them and helped bring the changes about.
It is indeed an honour to be here today. Dr. Sesay, thank you for the kind recommendation, and thank you for giving me the privilege to speak with this 2023/2024 set of matriculants.
Before I present my remarks, I will like to take this opportunity to thank all the lecturers of this great College, who are and always have been committed to the success of every student and continue to take a personal interest in their academic and social development.
With deep felicitation, allow me to welcome you to the commencement of a life-defining experience and a magical opportunity. I heartily congratulate all of you for achieving success in getting a seat in this reputable College.
When I received the information to be the commencement speaker for today, my mind ran back to 14 years ago when I matriculated. I tried to extrapolate from many experiences from matriculation in 2011 to graduation in 2023, and share with you the many lessons I have learnt along the way, while also drawing your attention to steps and thoughts you can guide yourself with as you journey on the path of achieving greatness on this campus.
Why discovering the historical Context: Throughout history, great leaders have emerged, each with particular leadership styles
Leadership in itself is a somewhat fluid principle. Generally, most leaders adapt their leadership styles to suit their situation. This is particularly true the longer they lead; they adapt their leadership style as they learn and engage with their employees.
To become a more successful leader, leaders must understand their current leadership style. In this article, we’ll answer the question “what a leadership style?”, and then look at 6 of the most common leadership styles and their effectiveness.
If you want to advance the agenda of Combating Financial Crime, Illicit deals and Money Laundering in the African Union Continental Free Trade Zone Area you have to specialize on Financial Investigations.
Developing an investigative plan, subject profiles, analyzing and charting financial flows, preparing an evidence matrix and utilizing international cooperation channels provides the foundation to conducting an effective financial investigation.
Background: Financial Investigations
One of the biggest challenges for African Union Continental Free Trade Zone Area is in the asset recovery case to produce the evidence that links the assets to criminal activities (property-based confiscation) or establishes the amount of the benefit derived from an offense (value-based confiscation). To establish this link, practitioners in the AfCFTA must identify and trace assets or “follow the money” until the link with the offense or the location of the assets can be determined.

ABSTRACT
Contemporary Private online Universities must be adaptive and agile as the environment changes. To respond to
change, leaders of these Universities must find ways of integrating learning into everyday work experiences in the
field Professorial roles and expertise.
The study's goal is to look into the difficulties that clouded the procedures of becoming a Professor; teaching
experiences and their supervisory positions in the Private Online Universities. In order to evaluate the impact of
professional training, we need to understand management by objectives, motivation, and communication on
teaching, management and supervisory system, four particular objectives were set. The hypotheses investigation
revealed that professional training has a favorable influence on Professorship teaching and supervisory skills,
Rudolph Kwanue University College has significant role to play on supervisory skills, motivation, has no effect on
supervisory skills; bad communication and poor supervisory positions have a negative association. Traditional
statistical procedures were used to test the results, as well as the usage of chi-square to evaluate significant levels.

2
Professor (commonly abbreviated as Prof.) [1] is an
academic rank at universities and other post-
secondary education and research institutions in
most countries. Literally, professor derives from
Latin as a "person who professes." Professors are
usually experts in their field and teachers of the
highest rank. [1]
In most systems of academic ranks, "professor" as an
unqualified title refers only to the most senior
academic position, sometimes informally known as
"full professor."[2][3] In some countries and
institutions, the word "professor" is also used in
titles of lower ranks such as associate professor and
assistant professor; this is particularly the case in the
United States, where the unqualified word is also
used colloquially to refer to associate and assistant
professors as well, and often to instructors or
lecturers. [4]
Professors often conduct original research and
commonly teach undergraduate, professional, or
postgraduate courses in their fields of expertise. In
universities with graduate schools, professors may
mentor and supervise graduate students conducting
research for a thesis or dissertation. In many
universities, full professors take on senior
managerial roles such as leading departments,
research teams and institutes, and filling roles such
as president, principal or vice-chancellor.[5] The role
of professor may be more public-facing than that of
more junior staff, and professors are expected to be
national or international leaders in their field of
expertise.[5]
University education is critically important in both
personal and economic development necessitated
the implementation of a variety of educational
training programs. These initiatives intended to
improve professional training for online University
Professors in Africa using Rudolph Kwanue
University College as the hub to reach Universities
around the world. The Universal Higher education
program is a rich cultural and scientific asset which
enables personal development and promotes
economic, technological and social change. It
promotes the exchange of knowledge, research and
innovation and equips students with the skills
needed to meet ever changing labour markets...

Policy Dimensions Status
1. Vision for Tertiary Education
Liberia adopted a vision for tertiary education in
2012, and recently adopted the Education Sector
Plan “Getting to Best”. The challenge is now to
implement this vision, to introduce relevant
regulatory reforms, to increase capacity to
implement, and to align the budget with strategic
priorities.
2. Regulatory Framework
Some key regulation exists but it is outdated and not
strictly enforced. There is no overall legislation for
the tertiary education sector.
3. Governance of system and institutions
There is a diverse set of tertiary education
institutions, but the differences are not clearly
articulated in national policy. Institutions have
significant academic, staffing, and financing
autonomy, but have little influence over their own
governance structures.
4. Financing
Public funding is not provided following transparent
and competitive procedures. Moreover, there is no
agreed performance targets linked to public funding.
5. Quality Assurance
There is no independent quality assurance agency.
While some steps has been undertaken to establish
an accreditation agency, the proposals do not seem
to follow international best practice.

6. Relevance for social and economic needs
Few initiatives have been undertaken to improve the
relevance of tertiary education. Steps are needed to
strengthen the link with the labor market, to foster
research development and innovation, and to
improve sustainability. (TERTIARY EDUCATION SABER

1.2 Statement of Research problem.
When instructors, Senior, Associate Assistant and
Full Professors are fully train with resources for
achieving educational goals then the Professors are
of high quality, education system in RUDOLPH
KWANUE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE is considered
effective. A healthy University is distinguished by the
quality of its curriculum, sound teaching Professors,
and, most importantly, the supervisors' stated
unequivocally that a University with good and clear
minded Professors and supervisors ensures quality
and efficiency College graduates. When University
Professors are determined to keep the quality and
promote educational reforms, they fight for it.
However, the Rudolph Kwanue University College
education system is beset by issues such as low
production, ineffectiveness, a lack of qualifications,
and mismanagement of the term Professors in the
field of Academia. Many Professors and supervisors
in Universities education do not have the
professional training and field experience to initiate
purposeful direction and coordinated curriculum and
teaching supervisory programs in their Universities,
according to evidence and observations from
numerous stakeholders and international scholars
during the last 38 years. This issue is most noticeable
in private Universities and some Government
Universities in Africa more especially the online
Universities throughout the African continent.
Because the primary focus is on annual profit,
University leaders are given less time to improve
themselves. This lowers productivity while also
increasing unqualified Human resource and financial
Resources wasted. The goal of the study is to look
into the obstacles posed by unprofessional
confinement of Professorship to the untrained and
ineffective persons in some of the Universities
working with Rudolph Kwanue University College in
Liberia. (Bibliographies: 'Educational

1.3 Research objectives
The main research objective is to investigate the
challenges faced by untrained Professors in teaching
and or supervising Departments and Faculties of
some Universities affiliated with RKUC.
The specific research objectives are;
To assess the effect of teaching and
managerial skills on effective faculty and

To evaluate the significant of professional
training on teaching and supervisors
To know if there is relationship between
communication skills in teaching and
supervisors’ performances
To evaluate the effect of coordination
between Professors, other teachers and
supervisors’ skills in Faculty and
department.
1.4. Research Questions
1. How does professional training increase
Professorial capacity in teaching supervisory
skills in faculty or department?
2. What is the effect of delegation of
responsibilities and mentorship in teaching
and supervisory skills in Universities?
3. Is there relationship between
communication effectiveness and
supervisory skills?

email bloat, and do better work.

Professors and supervision in the University. There is
a need for these notions to be clarified. Teachers
and professors are two types of educators who
provide their students with the knowledge and skills
they need to succeed, not just in academics, but also
in life beyond University. Both teachers and
professors can make a lifelong impact on their
students, and their work forms a critical foundation
for their students becoming independent, thriving,
and productive citizens. However, there are
significant differences between the roles of teacher
and professor, from the level of required education
and job responsibilities to the student populations
they serve and average salaries. When it comes to
choosing between a, careers as a professor vs.
teacher, understanding the differences between the
professions will help you choose the educational
pathway that’s right for you.
Who is a teacher?
A teacher is an educator who works in a K-12 school
system and who is trained to teach students of a
particular age group or grade level, or in a specific
academic subject area. Generally, teachers working
with young students provide foundational
instruction in several subject areas and also assist
students in developing self-discipline and
interpersonal skills. As students get older, teachers
typically specialize in one specific academic subject
and provide more focused instruction. Teachers at
the high school level impart more advanced
academic knowledge, along with skills and tools that
help students prepare for life after graduation and
for success at the college level.
Who is a professor?
A professor is a postsecondary educator at the
college or university level, who may hold a PhD (or
EdD in schools and colleges of education) in a
specialized academic field and whose teaching and
research are focused on that subject area. Professors
teach undergraduate and/or graduate students, and
the education they provide often forms the
foundation for the students’ future careers and for
lives as independent adults. Professors might also
teach students enrolled in college- or university-
based professional certification programs. There are
various types of professors, including tenure-track
professors, who hold permanent positions at the
institution where they are employed, and adjunct
professors, who are part-time professors that teach
on a contractual basis. There are also other types of
professors, including visiting professors, who hold a
temporary teaching and research position at host

5
institution, and clinical professors, who teach
students (e.g. medical students) in a clinical setting.
The difference between a professor and supervisor
A teacher and a supervisor have different roles and
responsibilities. A teacher is typically responsible for
delivering instruction to students and assessing their
learning, while a supervisor is typically responsible
for overseeing the work of a group of employees or a
team. A teacher may be responsible for creating
lesson plans, grading students' work, and providing
feedback, while a supervisor may be responsible for
managing budgets, setting goals, and evaluating
employee performance.
Furthermore, supervision can be viewed as an
interaction involving a pre-existing relationship
between and among people, in which people affect
one another. A prearranged program of education
has a significant impact on such interactions. In this
sense, according to Netzer and Kerey (1971),
supervision is the systematization of the interaction
of individuals who are responsible for operating
inside the administrative structure. As a result, the
supervisor is expected to undertake many activities
in the course of his duties that will result in a
successful integration of these two settings, resulting
in harmony and contentment.
What are some of the roles of a Professor?
The professor's responsibilities include, but are not
limited to, teaching a requisite number of graduate
classes, assisting with the development of course
material, supervising postgraduate students,
regularly publishing journal articles, serving on
committees, attending conferences, writing
proposals for grants, delivering presentations, and
handling other administrative duties.
To be successful as a professor, you should be able
to balance teaching and research responsibilities.
Outstanding professors are able to conduct
independent research, accurately allocate resources,
and provide subject-related and management advice
to the faculty.
Professor Responsibilities:
Developing curricula and delivering course material.
Conducting research, fieldwork, and investigations,
and writing up reports.
Publishing research, attending conferences,
delivering presentations, and networking with others
in the field.
Traveling to other universities or academic settings
to participate in learning opportunities and gain
experience.
Participating in committee, departmental, and
faculty meetings.
Providing training and mentoring to teaching
assistants and junior lecturers.
Reviewing methods and teaching materials and
making recommendations for improvement.
Assisting with student recruitment interviews, and
academic counseling sessions.
Contributing to the creation of an environment that
promotes growth, equality, and freedom of speech.
Professor Requirements:
A Ph.D. in the relevant field.
3-10 years of experience teaching in an academic
setting.
Published articles and proven experience as an
academic.
Strong teaching and mentoring skills.
Excellent presentation, and written and verbal
communication skills.
6. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no

A sound understanding of and passion for subject
matter.
Willingness to work long hours, and travel
frequently.
A growth mindset and excellent networking abilities.
What are the responsibilities of a supervisor in the
workplace?
Supervisors assume several roles in the workplace.
They are essential in managing a team’s efficiency
and building a positive team environment, but the
specifics of these tasks can vary based on the
company.
A supervisor’s responsibilities often include:
1. Managing workflow
One of a supervisor’s most important responsibilities
is managing a team. Often, supervisors create and
oversee their team’s workflow, or the tasks required
to complete a job. Supervisors must define goals,
communicate objectives and monitor team
performance.
2. Training new hires
When a new employee joins the team, their
supervisor should help them understand their role
and support them during their transition. This might
include providing workplace orientation and
explaining company policies or job duties. The
supervisor may manage all onboarding activities, or
they may work with the human resources
department to make sure the new hire receives the
guidance and information they need.
3. Creating and managing team schedules
In some cases, organizations have set hours for their
entire workforce, and supervisors won’t need to
adjust them. However, when team members work in
shifts, supervisors are usually responsible for
creating schedules.
For example, if you are a supervisor of restaurant
wait staff, you will want to make sure you have an
appropriate number of servers scheduled for each
shift. This usually means scheduling more people
during the busiest time of day and balancing shifts so
that the staff does not feel overworked. Managing
employee schedules also means being flexible and
prepared when employees need to make changes,
such as requesting a day off, calling in sick or
handling a family emergency.
4. Reporting to HR and senior management
As a supervisor, you’ll often be responsible for
reporting team and individual performance to
human resources and senior management. You may
need to evaluate each member of your team and
record employee punctuality, performance on goals,
professionalism, disciplinary issues, adherence to
company policies and more. You may also be
required to develop and administer performance
improvement plans.
5. Evaluating performance and providing feedback
Supervisors are often tasked with developing or
executing employee feedback and recognition
programs. This responsibility might include setting
employee and team goals and choosing appropriate
rewards for achievements. For example, if a
salesperson exceeds their monthly quota, they may
be eligible for a bonus. This time should also be used
to provide both positive and constructive feedback.
6. Identifying and applying career advancement
opportunities
Because supervisors work closely with employees,
they often help decide who is eligible for
promotions. In some cases, supervisors may directly
award promotions. However, even when supervisors
don’t have the authority to directly promote
employees, senior management professionals often
consult supervisors during the promotion process.
7. Helping to resolve employee issues and disputes
7. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
7
When employees are unhappy with their workplace
experience, they may approach their supervisor
before speaking with HR. Supervisors must use
active listening skills to understand employee
complaints and to work with them to reach a
solution.
If an employee complains that another employee or
member of management has violated company
policies, the supervisor will likely need to report the
issue to HR for an investigation. In the case of minor
disagreements between employees, supervisors may
act as mediators and help the two parties come to a
resolution.
What does it take to become a supervisor?
In many cases, companies promote individuals from
non-managerial roles after they have proven
themselves capable to lead others well. When
deciding who to advance to a supervisor role,
companies often look for employees who
demonstrate the following:
Excellent communication skills
Expertise in team or department
Ability to remain calm under pressure
Firm grasp of company policies
Strong work ethic
Punctuality and time management skills
Professionalism and a positive attitude
Organizational abilities
Interest in leadership opportunities
To increase your likelihood of promotion to a
supervisor role, it’s important to focus on growing
the necessary skills and expertise. Consider
attending relevant seminars, conferences,
workshops and online classes or pursuing an
advanced degree or certification.
Most importantly, be professional and set an
example for others by taking the initiative on
difficult tasks. When opportunities for advancement
arise, let your manager know that you’re interested
in their consideration.
What should I expect from a supervisor interview?
Job interviews can be stressful. However, if you
prepare thoughtful answers to common questions,
you may feel more confident in the interview room.
Here are a few questions you should prepare to
answer:
“What do you think makes a good supervisor?” In
your answer, consider explaining your perspective
on the importance of organizational skills, effective
communication, decisiveness and the ability to
motivate others or manage conflict.
“Describe your management style.” Interviewers
often ask this question to determine how well you
can adapt to different situations, apply strategic
thinking skills and remain calm under pressure.
“Share a few ways you would motivate employees
and improve teamwork.” When responding to this
question, consider providing specific examples of
how you might help employees to improve
performance, remain positive and cooperate with
each other. For example, you might talk about your
goal-setting process or how you might reward a
team for meeting company objectives.
“How would you go about coaching a team member
or employee to perform a specific job?” Coaching
employees is an essential supervisor responsibility.
When answering this question, it’s smart to
demonstrate your willingness to help employees
improve their skills. This is a good opportunity to
provide examples of your relevant strengths, such as
patience or the ability to provide constructive
feedback.
“How would you resolve a conflict between team
members?” When answering this question, it’s wise
8. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
8
to provide an example of a time when you helped
two parties reach a resolution in a workplace or
team environment. Be sure to describe how you
mediated the conversation and the result of your
resolution.
i. The Characteristics of a Lecture Note Plan
#Lecture Life – My Top 10 Tips on Note Taking
During Lectures
Being a grad student is a lot of work with endless
lectures, readings, essays, reports and presentations.
But if you think studying is stressful, try ignorance!
For those of us curious about “knowing the causes of
things,” in line with the LSE motto, ignorance is not
an option.
So, we are impelled to soak in as much knowledge as
possible, grabbing as much as we can the torrent of
information thrown at us. Here are some handy tips
on pinning down the crucial points during lectures.
1. You can’t write down every word
A lecture is not a dictation exercise where you have
to write down everything the professor says. You
need to watch out for key points, arguments and
themes in the lectures. It's a good thing that lectures
are recorded at LSE, so you can always go back and
check if you missed a point.
2. Pay Attention
It's very easy to start daydreaming during lectures
and miss an important point. Try to rest adequately
before lectures so you don't doze off in class. Some
take coffee before lectures to keep them alert,
others chew gum. Listen attentively to examples
given by the professor to explain a point. Sometimes
the example helps us remember the point in future.
3. Underline, Highlight and Capitalized
Lecturers often stress or draw attention to certain
words or phrases. It is important to
underline/highlight these words on your notepad to
show how important they are. It might also be useful
to start using these terms in your group discussions
in order to get familiar with them.
4. Use Shorthand (Abbreviations)
In order to catch up, some words need to be written
in short but in understandable forms. So, take some
time to work out whatever shorthand code you're
comfortable with. For example words like using ‘2'
instead of ‘to', ‘too' and ‘two', or ‘da' for ‘the'; ‘w/'
for ‘with', btw for ‘between’, etc.
5. Put distractions away
It might be a good idea to turn off your Wifi during
lectures to avoid receiving distracting messages on
WhatsApp or Facebook. Don't forget to put your
mobile phone on silent mode, and don't use
headphones or earpieces!
6. Be Comfortable
Ensure that you are punctual to your lectures and
choose a convenient spot to sit. Students are often
put off when their favourite corner of the lecture
hall has already been taken. Choose a spot that
makes you comfortable and feel part of the lecture.
For me, I prefer the second or third row. I often find
it difficult to concentrate at the backseats. They
remind me of those noisy backbenchers in high
school who chuckled and contrived pranks to be
used on teachers and fellow students!
7. Ask questions when confused
Don't just write down things you do not understand.
Ask for clarification when you are confused. If you're
not satisfied, you can always meet the lecturer for
further clarification during breaks, after the lecture
or during Office Hours.
8. Share and compare notes with classmates
Two heads according to the popular adage are
better than one. It is good to find time to compare
notes with your classmates and use theirs to update
9. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
9
yours and vice versa. They might have picked up
some important points that you didn’t.
9. Notepad versus Laptop
There has been a heated debate on which of these
two is most effective for note-taking during lectures.
Some argue that notepads are old-fashioned and
others contend that laptops are distracting. For me,
it depends on the individual. I started with notepads
and “migrated” to my laptop. It depends on which
you find more effective. However, I still use my
notepad in some lectures. The point here is to use
what works for you.
10. Air your opinion
Lectures are not always one-sided. There are times
lecturers throw questions to students or ask for
reactions. Don’t be left out. Discuss how the subject
matter relates to what you have heard or seen
before and your personal opinion about it. The
seminars and classes also give more room for
personal reflection on the subject matter. They
facilitate critical analysis and thrash matters arising
from the lecture. Here you can even critique the
lecture and offer you own argument. “A lecture”, as
George Wald rightly points out, “is much more of a
dialogue than many of you probably realize”.
The lesson plan reflects the teaching Professor level
of preparedness as well as his or her work in
acquiring information for the class. As a result, a
badly drafted lesson plan reveals not only the
Professor's quality, but also his level of devotion to
his primary responsibility of teaching. The following
elements of the lesson plan must be thoroughly
examined by the Faculty head (Dean of Faculty):
a) The clarity and appropriateness of the learner
behavioral objectives
b) The relevancy and adequacy of the lesson notes,
c) The selection of relevant teaching aids, and
d) The selection of appropriate evaluation
methodologies to measure the extent of effectively
achieving the goal.
ii. Lesson Presentation
When the targeted objectives are met, teaching is
considered to be effective. The University principal
or Dean of Faculty must pay close attention to the
following aspects:
a) The Professor's voice quality, speech, clarity of
expression, intelligibility and appropriateness of
language, effective use of learning materials such as
audio-visual aids and chalkboard, etc.,
b) The Professor's knowledge of the subject matter
in terms of structure and sequence,
c) The Professor's knowledge of the subject matter
in terms of structure and sequence,
d) Use of Lecture Room management techniques
including skills in affixing, affixing, affixing, affixing
iii. Reference Materials
It is impossible to miss the usage of relevant
reference materials such as textbooks, schemes of
work, and syllabuses. The following issues must be
investigated by the principals or Dean of Faculty:
a) The item's or topic's duration.
b) The materials' relevancy and logicalness,
c) The order in which the contents are presented,
and so on.
d) Using current materials rather than outmoded
ones. iv. The Relationship between The Professor
and Student Without a doubt, a positive
interpersonal relationship between professors and
students may foster learning and help students
achieve their educational objectives.
In this regard, the administrator must seek true
affection and concern, as well as a positive and
10. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
10
accepted attitude among instructors and students.
His ability to adjust or tolerate, as well as, if possible,
provide a hand through guidance and counseling
services, must be taken into account. v. Classroom
Management
Good Lecture-room management makes the
teaching and learning process go more smoothly.
The following must be known by the principal or
other designated school personnel:
a) The ability to discipline and control students,
b) Reward skills to reinforce good performance or
conduct,
c) The ability to identify cases and causes of
students' misbehavior,
d) The creation of a conducive Lecture room climate,
e) Student seating arrangements, and
f) The physical condition of the Lecture-room
(ministerial text 2001
Challenges of University Supervision
Challenges of School Supervision
There are a number of issues that work against
efficient instruction supervision in our Universities.
Inadequacy of Personnel: In our Universities, the
number of professionally trained supervisors is far
insufficient to meet the demands of an effective and
efficient supervision program in various.
Because the Universities student population has
outgrown the required Professor-to-students-ratio,
most principals' only concern in terms of education
is ensuring that there are enough Lectures to staff
the Lecture-rooms. External supervisors or
inspectors are in short supply amongst Universities
due to untrained License Professors: External
supervisors and inspectors are usually from the Dean
of Faculty, Ministry or Education Board officers who
have been assigned to assess the level of conformity
of University instructional activities with
government-approved standards. Unfortunately,
due to the enormous number of government
approved Universities and Professors, this group of
workers is frequently in short supply.
2.2 Theoretical framework
Key Concepts and Previous Research
In this study (Mbua, 2002), numerous ideas linked to
supervisory skills will be examined. These theories
serve to explain several theories of motivation that
aid in improving effective supervisory skills for
Professorial leaders. Some of them are discussed
farther down.
Etymology
The Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates was one of
the earliest recorded professors. [6]
The term professor was first used in the late 14th
century to mean 'one who teaches a branch of
knowledge'. [1] The word comes "...from Old French
professeur (14c.) and directly from [the] Latin
professor[, for] 'person who professes to be an
expert in some art or science; teacher of highest
rank'"; the Latin term came from the "...agent noun
from profiteri 'lay claim to, declare openly'." As a
title that is "prefixed to a name, it dates from 1706".
The " [s]hort form prof is recorded from 1838". The
term professor is also used with a different meaning:
"[o]ne professing religion. This canting use of the
word comes down from the Elizabethan period, but
is obsolete in England."[1]
Tasks
Toni Morrison, Emeritus Professor at Princeton
University.
Professors are qualified experts in their field who
generally perform some or all the following tasks:
[9][10]
11. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
11
Managing teaching, research, and publications in
their departments (in countries where a professor is
head of a department);
Presenting lectures and seminars in their specialties
(i.e., they "profess");
Performing, leading and publishing advanced original
research in peer reviewed journals in their fields;
Providing community service, including consulting
functions (such as advising government and
nonprofit organizations) or providing expert
commentary on TV or radio news or public affairs
programs;
Mentoring graduate students in their academic
training;
Mentoring more junior academic staff;
Conducting administrative or managerial functions,
usually at a high level (e.g. deans, heads of
departments, research centers, etc.); and
Assessing students in their fields of expertise (e.g.,
through grading examinations or viva voce
defenses).
Other roles of professorial tasks depend on the
institution, its legacy, protocols, place (country), and
time. For example, professors at research-oriented
universities in North America and, generally, at
European universities, are promoted primarily on
the basis of research achievements and external
grant-raising success.

Many colleges and universities and other institutions
of higher learning throughout the world follow a
similar hierarchical ranking structure amongst
scholars in academia; the list above provides details.
2.3 Contextual Reviews
The concept of Professors has been practiced by
both Rudolph Kwanue University College
administrators and other external stakeholders for
many years, according to the history of education
system. Local authorities and people were utilized to
support the administration of the Universities
because the British government in British Africa
could not sustain the cost of administration (Ojong,
2003). In the 1960s, Universities heads were
required to do both inspection and supervision of
instruction, while the University of London served as
a general supervisory authority for all Universities. A
British model was used to merge the curriculum and
pedagogy. As a result of the RKUC, the ministry of
education now supervises both East and West Africa.
Universities (Fonkeng, 2008).In addition, various
teacher training colleges have been established to
help instructors develop their abilities and
professionalism. Through the decentralization of the
education system, instruction supervision becomes
both governmental and individual responsibility.
Universities heads and other University
administrators are assigned the task to supervise
instructions in the schools, according to a ministerial
text from 2001. (GESP, 2005). In RKUC's educational
systems, instruction supervision has evolved into a
collaborative endeavor between school leaders and
other stakeholders.

3. Methodology of the Research
This section discusses the research methodology
used in qualitative and quantitative studies. It covers
topics such as targeted respondents, research
techniques, research materials, data collection, and
data analysis. Respondents in basic education, such
as Professors and supervisors, are the focus of the
study. For a population of roughly 5500 University
leaders, the sample size is around 1000. Purposive-
random sampling was used to pick the respondents.
Data was gathered from both primary and secondary
sources. To evaluate significant levels, the data was
displayed using frequency distribution tables, pie
charts, and other statistical methods, such as
regression analysis and chi-square. A pilot system
was used to distribute questionnaires. Closed-ended
questions were included in the questionnaires, with
respondents having the option of agreeing,
disagreeing, or remaining undecided. The scale had
three numbers: three for agree, one for disagree,
and zero for undecided. The null hypothesis is
rejected when the coefficient value falls between
0.48 and 0.76, according to the decision rule.

4.2. Testing of hypothesis and findings
Hypothesis1. The calculated value of 0.143 is greater
than the critical value of 0.346. According to the
decision rule, we reject the null hypothesis and
accept the alternate
Hypothesis. Since the contingent coefficient of .057
lies between 0.48 and 0.76, we agree that there is a
significant effect of professional training on teaching
supervisory skills for Professors.
Hypothesis 2. The calculated value is 0.345 and the
critical value is 0.97. According to the decision rule,
we reject the alternate hypothesis and accept the
null hypothesis. Since the Contingent coefficient of
0.83 is above 0.76, we accept the null hypothesis
that there is no significant effect of RKUC on
supervisory skills.
Hypothesis3. The calculated value is 0.512 is lesser
than 0.125 critical value. The alternate hypothesis is
rejected. Since the Contingent coefficient of 0.79 is
above 0.76, we disagree that there is a significant
effect of motivation on Professor supervisory sills.
Summary of findings.
Findings-The results above show that;
There is a positive effect of professional
training for Professors on teaching and
supervisory skills
There is no significant effect of other
Universities on teaching and supervisory
skills.
-there is no effect of motivation on
Professors and supervisory skills.
5.1. Policy Recommendations
The above mentioned findings of the study suggest
the following recommendations in order to improve
supervisory skills for Professors and Dean of
Faculties or leaders in education in the affiliate
Universities.
1. Training and retraining of Professors and
supervisor: The training of new Professors
and supervisors, as well as the retraining
them, should be prioritized. For this
objective, special training centers with
experienced and practicing Professors
should be established at RKUC.
2. This is significant because the use of old or
obsolete techniques or methods contradicts
the spirit of Processional education
inspection. Professors and Supervisors
could be sponsored to attend seminars,
workshops, or conferences to keep up to
date on modern and appropriate
Professorial and supervisory procedures.
3. Morale Boosting: The relationship between
motivation and skill performance has been
studied extensively. If Professors and
supervisors are properly motivated with
available work materials such as stationery,
transportation, a pleasant working
environment, and increased salaries and
14. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
14
allowances, their morale may improve,
affecting their skills.
4. Employment of Professors and supervisors
with higher educational qualifications:
Supervisors with higher educational
qualifications are more likely to out-
perform those with lower qualifications in
the sector. Education professionals with
greater qualifications, according to Okoro
(2004), have more confidence in their
workplace. Furthermore, they have easier
access to quality information and can adapt
to changing occupational conditions than
their lower-qualified counterparts, who are
typically less prepared and ill-equipped to
adapt to modern changes.
5. International and inter-state exchanges: It
has been proposed that a purposeful and
Universities-sponsored international and
interstate exchange of Professorial
supervisory individuals and experiences
could improve teaching supervisory skills.
Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Sierra Leone,
Canada, and other countries with similar
educational policies could participate in
such exchange programs. The goal is to
ensure that ideas are cross-pollinated and
that different approaches to comparable
problems or challenges are explored. .
6. Improved Selection Criteria for Professors
and Supervisors: Supervision is a technical
task that necessitates a thorough, objective
evaluation. As a result, persons charged
with this task should be carefully chosen
from among the available education
personnel in schools or state education
ministries. A particular aptitude test could
be used to assess candidates' suitability by
examining several aspects of their
personalities. According to Obanya (2005),
this demanding exercise boosts confidence,
which is essential for skill acquisition and
performance.
7. Further training programs against
Unprofessional Performance: In order to
strengthen the skills of University
Professors and supervisors, relevant actions
should be leveled for Professors and
supervisors who are not professionalized
and who tend to undermine the desired
standard. A system in which mediocrity is
lauded and standards are abandoned, while
Professors and supervisors who excel in
their assignments should be recognized
appropriately, either in kind or in cash,
penalizing substandard performance could
serve as a deterrent to others.
8. Motivation for good Performance: While
many forms of incentive have the ability to
raise employee morale, they also have the
ability to encourage increased performance
and the development of high-quality
abilities. As a result, Professors and
supervisors who work well should be paid
appropriately in order to preserve and, if
feasible, increase their abilities.
Suggestions for Future Research
The foregoing synthesis and discussion of the
systematic review’s findings identified several
knowledge gaps that suggest directions for further
research. The findings of the review show that all
three levels of learning have been studied in
previous research, but much of the research has
concentrated on the Government University
Professorial training and supervision level of
learning. Far fewer studies have examined the online
Universities Professorial capacity and supervision
levels. Only one study examined all three levels in
the same research model. Thus, more research is
needed that examines how online Universities
Professors relates to all three levels of learning
within the same research model. A similar issue
15. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
15
concerns the large variety of Professorial theories
being used in the field. These different Professorship
theories need to be evaluated against each other.
For example, several studies have been based on the
Professors of Government Universities, although few
have used the entire model on the online
Universities.
In addition, the model was not specifically developed
to examine learning. Other theories that were
specifically developed to measure learning focused
Professorship have been investigated in a much
smaller number of studies. However, these learning
focused theories have not been evaluated in relation
to more traditional Professorship theories such as
the Dean, Head Department and Supervisor. Thus,
uncertainty remains regarding how the
Professorship theories differ and what their relative
explanatory contributions are. A related
phenomenon concerns the almost exclusive use of
constructive Professorship theories, while
knowledge is lacking about destructive forms of
Professorship and their significance for learning. The
available studies suggest that such Professorship can
either inhibit or enhance learning and a better
understanding of how destructive forms of
Professorship might affect learning is needed.
Regarding the process through which Professorship
influences learning, the findings of the review
showed that 1000 studies have investigated 70%
different Professors in total, but only a few of them
have been tested in several studies. The findings also
suggest that the choice of Professors is to some
extent influenced by the level of learning being
studied. Likely to facilitate learning. Therefore, we
suggest that more scale development and validation
work needs to be done to more accurately capture
the phenomena of interest
Implications for Practice
The relations between Professorship and learning
are very relevant to practice because contemporary
Universities operate in highly competitive and
rapidly changing environments and the quantity and
quality of learning at individual, Government and
Private levels are key factors in Professorial
effectiveness (Noe et al., 2014; Tannenbaum &
Wolfson, 2022). While many factors influence
learning at work, Professors play a key role in the
facilitation of learning at each level (Barette et al.,
2012). By addressing the question of how specific
leadership styles and behaviors may be facilitative of
individual, group and organizational learning, the
findings of this review offer some recommendations
that Universities can act upon.
First, the results of this study suggest that within the
neocharismatic category Professorship,
transformational Professorship is significantly
associated with learning at the Universities level. The
transformational Professorship style includes the
following four elements that refer to the Professor’s
behaviors: intellectual stimulation, individualized
consideration, idealized influence, and inspirational
motivation (Bass, 1985). The findings of this review
imply that if online Universities want to improve
learning at the or University level, then the provision
of transformational Professorship training programs
may be beneficial in this context. Research has
shown that transformational training programs are
able to change leaders’ transformational behaviors
in the expected direction (Barling et al., 1996).
Second, the review found that Professorship within
the category of leading for creativity, innovation and
change has been shown to be significantly
associated with individual learning. Specifically, this
implies that micro level Professors behaviors related
to Professorship for learning (e.g., encouraging
employee participation in problem solving and
decision making to stimulate idea exploration and
16. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
16
knowledge sharing, encouraging experimentation
and reasonable risk Lundqvist et al. 13 taking, giving
constructive feedback, providing learning resources)
are conducive to the individual level of learning.
Online Universities that value Professors
engagement in continuous learning can elicit such
learning facilitation behaviors from their leaders
through a range of Professorship development
interventions that include multi-source feedback,
developmental goal setting, and behavior modeling
training and developmental performance appraisals.
Third, the results of the review indicate that online
Universities as leaders can foster Professorship
learning through a range of direct development
interventions such as the provision of coaching and
mentoring. However, the results also reveal that the
Professorship-learning link is often mediated. This
implies that leaders in Universities that value
learning need to be cognizant of the mediating
factors. For example, our analysis suggests that
there is preliminary empirical evidence that learning
at the online Universities level is mediated by
Universities characteristics such as absorptive
capacity and knowledge sharing climate, while
learning at the group or team level is mediated by
social characteristics such as team trust, team
psychological safety and team reflexivity. By
implication, Professors need the capabilities and
willingness to build and maintain such University
standard
Additional Literature Review
Salary
Salary of professors, as reported in the 2005 report
the Deutscher Hochschulverband [de] DHV. Bars
are for assistant professor, associate
professor and full professor, respectively.
A professor typically earns a base salary and a range
of employee benefits. In addition, a professor who
undertakes additional roles in their institution (e.g.,
department chair, dean, head of graduate studies,
etc.) earns additional income. Some professors also
earn additional income by moonlighting in other
jobs, such as consulting, publishing academic or
popular press books, giving speeches, or coaching
executives. Some fields (e.g., business and computer
science) give professors more opportunities for
outside work.
Germany and Switzerland
A report from 2005 by the "Deutscher
Hochschulverband DHV",[11] a lobby group for
German professors, the salary of professors, the
annual salary of a German professor is €46,680 in
group "W2" (mid-level) and €56,683 in group "W3"
(the highest level), without performance-related
bonuses. The anticipated average earnings with
performance-related bonuses for a German
professor is €71,500. The anticipated average
earnings of a professor working in Switzerland vary
for example between 158,953 CHF (€102,729) to
232,073 CHF (€149,985) at the University of Zurich
and 187,937 CHF (€121,461) to 247,280 CHF
(€159,774) at the ETH Zurich; the regulations are
different depending on the Cantons of Switzerland.

According to The Ministry of Civil Service, the salary
of a professor in any public university is 344,497.5
SAR, or US$91,866.[citation needed]
Spain
Further information: Academic ranks in Spain
The salaries of civil servant professors in Spain are
fixed on a nationwide basis, but there are some
bonuses related to performance and seniority and a
number of bonuses granted by the Autonomous
Regional governments. These bonuses include three-
year premiums (Spanish: trienios, according to
seniority), five-year premiums (quinquenios,
according to compliance with teaching criteria set by
the university) and six-year premiums (sexenios,
according to compliance with research criteria laid
17. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no

17
down by the national government). These salary
bonuses are relatively small. Nevertheless, the total
number of sexenios is a prerequisite for being a
member of different committees.
The importance of these sexenios as a prestige
factor in the university was enhanced by legislation
in 2001 (LOU). Some indicative numbers can be
interesting, in spite of the variance in the data. We
report net monthly payments (after taxes and social
security fees), without bonuses: Ayudante, €1,200;
Ayudante Doctor, €1,400; Contratado Doctor;
€1,800; Professor Titular, €2,000; Catedrático,
€2,400. There are a total of 14 payments per year,
including 2 extra payments in July and December
(but for less than a normal monthly payment).
Netherlands
In 2007 the Dutch social fund for the academic
sector SoFoKleS[12] commissioned a comparative
study of the wage structure of academic professions
in the Netherlands in relation to that of other
countries. Among the countries reviewed are the
United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland,
Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden and the
Netherlands. To improve comparability, adjustments
have been made to correct for purchasing power
and taxes. Because of differences between
institutions in the US and UK these countries have
two listings of which one denotes the salary in top-
tier institutions (based on the Shanghai-ranking).
Italy
As late as 2021, in the Italian universities there are
about 18 thousand Assistant Professors, 23 thousand
Associate Professors, and 14 thousand Full
Professors. The role of "professore a contratto" (the
equivalent of an "adjunct professor"), a non-tenured
position which does not require a PhD nor any
habilitation, is paid at the end of the academic year
nearly €3000 for the entire academic year,*13+
without salary during the academic year.[14] There
are about 28 thousand "Professori a contratto" in
Italy, .[15] Associate Professors have a gross salary in
between 52.937,59 and 96.186,12 euros per year,
Full Professors have a gross salary in between
75.431,76 and 131.674 Euros per year, and adjunct
professors of around 3,000 euros per year.[16]
United States
Professors in the United States commonly occupy
any of several positions in academia. In the U.S., the
word "professor" informally refers collectively to the
academic ranks of assistant professor, associate
professor, or professor. This usage differs from the
predominant usage of the word professor
internationally, where the unqualified word
professor only refers to "full professors." The
majority of university lecturers and instructors in the
United States, as of 2015, do not occupy these
tenure-track ranks, but are part-time adjuncts.[17]

Research professor
In a number of countries, the title "research
professor" refers to a professor who is exclusively or
mainly engaged in research, and who has few or no
teaching obligations. For example, the title is used in
this sense in the United Kingdom (where it is known
as a research professor at some universities and
professorial research fellow at some other
institutions) and in northern Europe. A research
professor is usually the most senior rank of a
research-focused career pathway in those countries
and is regarded as equal to the ordinary full
professor rank. Most often they are permanent
employees, and the position is often held by
particularly distinguished scholars; thus the position
is often seen as more prestigious than an ordinary
full professorship. The title is used in a somewhat
similar sense in the United States, with the exception
that research professors in the United States are
often not permanent employees and often must
fund their salary from external sources,[19] which is
usually not the case elsewhere.
In fiction
For a more comprehensive list, see List of fictional
professors.
Traditional fictional portrayals of professors, in
accordance with a stereotype, are shy, absent-
minded individuals often lost in thought. In many
cases, fictional professors are socially or physically
awkward. Examples include the 1961 film The
Absent-Minded Professor or Professor Calculus of
The Adventures of Tintin stories. Professors have
also been portrayed as being misguided into an evil
pathway, such as Professor Metz, who helped Bond
villain Blofeld in the film Diamonds Are Forever; or
simply evil, like Professor Moriarty, archenemy of
British detective Sherlock Holmes. The modern
animated series Futurama has Professor Hubert
Farnsworth, a typical absent-minded but genius-level
professor. A related stereotype is the mad scientist.
Vladimir Nabokov, author and professor of English at
Cornell, frequently used professors as the
protagonists in his novels. Professor Henry Higgins is
a main character in George Bernard Shaw's play
Pygmalion. In the Harry Potter series, set at the
wizard school Hogwarts, the teachers are known as
professors, many of whom play important roles,
notably Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall and
Snape. In the board game Cluedo, Professor Plum
has been depicted as an absent-minded academic.
Christopher Lloyd played Plum's film counterpart, a
psychologist who had an affair with one of his
patients.
Since the 1980s and 1990s, various stereotypes were
re-evaluated, including professors. Writers began to
depict professors as just normal human beings and
might be quite well-rounded in abilities, excelling
both in intelligence and in physical skills. An example
of a fictional professor not depicted as shy or
19. Global Academia Journal in Science and Theology Reviews. Vol. 3, no
3, pp 20-22 July 2023
19
absent-minded is Indiana Jones, a professor as well
as an archeologist-adventurer, who is skilled at both
scholarship and fighting. The popularity of the
Indiana Jones movie franchise had a significant
impact on the previous stereotype, and created a
new archetype which is both deeply knowledgeable
and physically capable.[citation needed] The
character generally referred to simply as the
Professor on the television sit com series, Gilligan's
Island, although described alternatively as a high-
school science teacher or research scientist, is
depicted as a sensible advisor, a clever inventor, and
a helpful friend to his fellow castaways. John
Houseman's portrayal of law school professor
Charles W. Kingsfield, Jr., in The Paper Chase (1973)
remains the epitome of the strict, authoritarian
professor who demands perfection from students.
Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) from the
American Broadcasting Company (ABC) legal drama
mystery television series How to Get Away with
Murder is a law professor at the fictional Middleton
University.[20] Early in the series, Annalise is a self-
sufficient and confident woman, respected for being
a great law professor and a great lawyer, feared and
admired by her students,[21] whose image breaks
down as the series progresses.[22] Sandra Oh stars
as an English professor, Ji-Yoon Kim, recently
promoted to the role of department chair in the
2021 Netflix series, The Chair. The series includes her
character's negotiation of liberal arts campus
politics, in particular issues of racism, sexism, and
social mores.[23]
Mysterious, older men with magical powers (and
unclear academic standing) are sometimes given the
title of "Professor" in literature and theater. Notable
examples include Professor Marvel in The Wizard of
Oz[24] and Professor Drosselmeyer (as he is
sometimes known) from the ballet The Nutcracker.
Also, the magician played by Christian Bale in the
film, The Prestige,[25] adopts 'The Professor' as his
stage name. A variation of this type of non-academic
professor is the "crackpot inventor", as portrayed by
Professor Potts in the film version of Chitty Chitty
Bang Bang or the Jerry Lewis-inspired Professor Frink
character on The Simpsons. Other professors of this
type are the thoughtful and kind Professor Digory
Kirke of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.
Non-academic usage
The title has been used by comedians, such as
"Professor" Irwin Corey and Soupy Sales in his role as
"The Big Professor". In the past, pianists in saloons
and other rough environments have been called
"professor".[26] The puppeteer of a Punch and Judy
show is also traditionally known as "Professor".[27]
Aside from such examples in the performing arts,
one apparently novel example is known where the
title of professor has latterly been applied to a
college appointee with an explicitly "non-academic
role", which seems to be primarily linked to claims of
"strategic importance".[28]

Conclusion
The need to attain relevant skills without waste of
resources by those charged with Professorial and
supervisory roles to achieving the said goals of
University education cannot be undermined.
Consequently, collaborative efforts should be made
towards providing improved skills acquisition
strategies by concerned stakeholders in the
educational sector.
It is hoped that if the content of this paper is given
the desired attention, the quality of skills Professors
and competencies of University teachers and

supervisors would be improved and the standard of
education could be better for it.
