Abstract

Higher academic ranks for lecturers impact their performance in the three pillars of higher education and contribute to the university’s performance in various government programs. Unfortunately, in the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, the number of lecturers holding the ranks of associate professor and full professor is minimal. This community service program aims to update participants’ understanding and skills in goal-setting strategies to accelerate functional position. The program involved 17 lecturers. Two main areas of scientific and technological knowledge were transferred to the participants: (1) institutional policies for accelerating functional position and (2) goal-setting strategies for the functional position. Knowledge transfer was carried out using three methods: lectures and discussions, structured exercises, and presentations followed by reflection. The program was evaluated using seven open-ended questions, administered both before and after the training, and assessed using a four-level rubric. Pre-test and post-test data were analyzed descriptively and using the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. The results showed that the training successfully improved participants’ understanding and skills in applying goal-setting strategies for functional position (Z = -3.539; asymp. sig. = <0.001). Therefore, regular training and mentoring are necessary for accelerating individuals into functional positions.
