The heads of departments (HODs) in universities are educational leaders who have the most power and influence. They are responsible for smooth running of all educational activities for effective learning of students. Their one of the key responsibilities is to improve teachers’ professional development (TPD) to obtain desired objectives. The study aimed to investigate the role of the HODs in TPD. Professional development (PD) is essential for teachers to improve the quality of teaching that enables them to achieve learning outcomes. The study was conducted at Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering and Information Technology (KFUEIT) Rahim Yar Khan. The objectives of the study were to investigate the role of the HODs toward TPD; and to find out the differences in the role of HODs towards TPD. A quantitative research design was adapted for the study. The population of the study consisted of all heads of departments and all faculty members of KFUEIT. A stratified sampling method was used for sampling and two strata were formulated: one for heads of departments and the other for faculty members. Twenty-five (25) HODs and One hundred fifty (150) faculty members were selected as a sample. A self-developed questionnaire for both HODs and Faculty members was used. The results showed that HODs play a significant role in improving the TPD. The perceptions of HODs and faculty members about the role of heads of departments in improving teachers’ professional development are the same.

“…UNESCO'nun 2015 yılında Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma için Eğitim Bildirgesi'nin gerekçesi olan sürdürülebilirlik, SD gibi temel yetkinliklerin araştırılması için itici bir güçtür (Schuler vd., 2018). Bu durum, Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma için Yükseköğretim'de sistem düşüncesi, öngörülü düşünme ve eleştirel düşünme gibi sürdürülebilirliğe yönelik temel yeterlikleri geliştirmek için bir müfredat oluşturmaya yönelik çalışmalarla da desteklenmektedir (Qadhi ve Al-Thani, 2023;Wu ve Shen, 2016). Yükseköğretimde müfredatın oluşturulmasına ilişkin çalışmalar (Davis, Dent ve Wharff, 2015;Dhukaram, Sgouropoulou, Feldman ve Amini, 2018;Dunnion ve O'Donovan, 2014;Grohs, Kirk, Soledad ve Knight, 2018) fen eğitimiyle ilgili alanlarda da benzer bir eğilime işaret edebilir.…”

This chapter examines the challenges and opportunities associated with the integration of implementing learning management systems (LMS) at a Zimbabwean university. It provides a brief overview of the current state of LMS integration in the country and highlights some of the challenges that have been faced, such as limited technical expertise and poor internet connectivity. It then goes on to discuss the benefits of LMS integration, including improved learning outcomes, enhanced student engagement, and increased access to educational resources. The chapter is based on case studies of universities that have recently implemented an LMS and explores the experiences of students, faculty, and administrators. The chapter found that the LMS was seen as a valuable tool for improving teaching and learning, but it also presented challenges related to technical issues, user training, and institutional culture.
