Background: The professional competencies of faculty staff are of great importance in shaping students' values, skills and attitudes that directly affect subsequent patient care. Objectives: to assay the level of faculty staff professionalism through investigating the level of professional competencies of faculty staff and behavior via students' perceptions, assessing nursing students' values, and finding the relationship between faculty staff professionalism and nursing students' values. Methods: A descriptive correlational study design was carried out with 186 nursing students from four levels in the Faculty of Nursing, Port Said University, Egypt. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Results: Faculty staff had a high level of competencies, including: personality and respectful professional relationships and communication (75.3%); planning and preparation, well-organized teaching methods (72.0%); Activities of monitoring and giving feedback (72.6%), Scientific and professional competence (68.3%); and Methods of motivation and enhancement (67.7%). About half of students (51.6%) perceived that their faculty staff behave positively to a high level. Prominent values among nursing students are mercy, honesty and patience. Statistically significant relations were found between total faculty staff behavior scores, total faculty staff competencies scores, and total students' values scores, with statistically significant relations found for most items between faculty staff behaviors and competencies and students' values. Conclusions and recommendations: The present study found that values as mercy, honest and patience had a great influence by the faculty staff professional competencies and positive behavior. It is recommended to enhance the scientific and professional level of faculty staff by continuous training and scholarships. Faculty staff must pay attention to guide students toward positive behavior and stress the importance of personal and professional students' values, reflected in their clinical nursing practice.

“…These findings also collaborated the view of Omotere (2011) who was of the view that impact of teachers' teaching method played significant roles in the competency and productivity levels of the teachers and eventually make learning more permanently in the learners. In similar vein, Adesina (2012), Copriady (2014) as well as Popoola (2014) equally reiterated the effectiveness of teachers' use of instructional method in the attainment of educational goals at all levels of educational system. This will eventually pave way for teacher competencies in their various aspects of their disciplines.…”

The study assessed Social Studies teachers' competence in the use of playway method in lower primary Social Studies classroom in Osun State, Nigeria. It examined their knowledge, competence and factors that might influence their competence in the use of playway method in Social Studies classroom. The study adopted qualitative descriptive research design. Nursery and Primary school teachers in Osun State constituted the population for the study. One hundred and fifty-six (156) teachers were sampled using stratified sampling technique based on rural and urban schools as strata. A questionnaire titled Teachers' Use of Playway Method of Teaching (TUPMT) was developed and validated before use by the investigator. Three research questions were asked and answered, and three research hypotheses were tested and verified. Among others, the results showed that Social Studies teachers possessed only fair knowledge of Playway method. They equally possessed very high level of competence in the use of playway method. However, their gender has no significant influence on their competences. The study recommended among others, that teachers should be very fast and knowledgeable in the use of playway method of teaching which could be enhanced through self effort, seminars, symposia, workshop and in-service training to mention but a few.

“…Simply put, teachers need to possess all the necessary elements of competency to provide quality teachings for their students (Saedah & Mohammed Sani, 2012). Furthermore, teachers' competency in preparing quality lesson plans is also an essential factor in determining the success of a teaching session (Copriady, 2014). Clearly, teaching competency encompasses a host of factors, including the planning, implementation, and evaluation of school curriculum and standards, which together will have a huge impact on the quality of teaching (Yu, Luo, Sun, & Strobel, 2012).…”

It is not surprising to hear secondary school students and undergraduates incessantly complaining about their difficulties in learning programming. Obviously, such difficulties may be attributed to a myriad of factors. As such, this entails examining programming teachers' competency in teaching the subject matter. The objective of this study is to explore and validate the elements of pedagogical and content knowledge (PCK) competency of programming teachers. In this research, the researchers first reviewed the current literature and a needs analysis study to explore potential elements of competency of programming teachers. Then, the researchers carried out a survey involving 22 academic members to elicit their opinions on such competency elements. Finally, the researchers performed the Fuzzy Delphi Method to validate the experts' opinions. The validation analysis highlighted 23 elements of competency, with all attaining threshold (d) values of less than 0.2 and percentages of agreement of more than 75%. Effectively, these findings strongly suggest that the validity of such elements of competency of programming teachers is high, with which a model of competent programming teachers could be developed. With such a model, programming teachers would be able to select and apply appropriate teaching strategies to help them teach programming to their students more effectively
