The Professional Development of the University professor's performance through his three Functions (Teaching, Scientific research, Community service), with a focus on the Yemeni Case

Abstract

The research aims to explore the concept of the university professor's performance, the reasons for his poor performance, and search for mechanisms for its development, within the framework of the three functions (teaching - scientific research - community service). The process of university development is one of the most important challenges facing academic work in higher education institutions in all developing countries. This calls for striving towards the embodiment of the university's philosophy and policies aimed at achieving teaching, scientific research and community service. If the performance development is considered a pillar in the community development process in general, then it is necessary to know the reality of the problem that the university professor suffers from, to reveal the causes of weakness behind that, and to search for development mechanisms. The research has concluded that the academic profession should have distinctive characteristics, which are represented in his scientific and practical qualifications, and there is no room for accepting an individual in it, who does not carry its important qualifications, or does not adhere to the ethics of its profession.
