[査読有り][通常論文] How to evaluate a faculty development program and the teaching performance of professors canbe problematic. On the one hand, the Higher Education Academy does recognize the professionalism ofteaching and learning of professors and has achieved certain results by certifying more than 85,000 fellowssince 2006. The evaluation method of the Higher Education Academy is interesting as a successful case.Therefore we visited the head office of Higher Education Academy (HEA) and interviewed theirInternational Team. In this paper, we will introduce overviews of "HEA fellowships" and "HEAaccreditation." All evaluations are based on a detailed framework, the UK Professional StandardsFramework (UKPSF), and this framework is composed of three dimensions: Areas of Activity, CoreKnowledge and Professional Values. The "HEA Fellowship Categories" evaluates individual professors, notonly by educational ability but also their careers in education according to the UKPSF. With "HEAaccreditation" this evaluates the programs for professional development and based on what kind of ability isdeveloped through it according to the UKPSF. For applications, you have to produce reports in the form oftemplates, with evidential materials attached. These are reviewed by a committee that makes a decision onwhether to award accreditation.
