Özet:The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of Faculty Development Program (FDP) students and graduates on academic and sociocultural contributions and economic facilities of FDP as well as the problems encountered in the program. Data were gathered through using “The Questionnaire for Identifying Perceptions of FDP Graduates/Students on Faculty Development Program” developed by the researcher. The sample consisted of 203 FDP students and 135 FDP graduates. Statistical program, SPSS, was used to carry out the analysis of descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the background information of the participants. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was employed to explore whether there were significant differences between perceptions of FDP graduates and FDP students; between perceptions of participants who graduated from an undergraduate program at Middle East Technical University (METU) and from other universities, and between perceptions of male and female participants.
