Abstract :
Over the years, globalization has benefitted
education in many aspects. This study aims to understand
the students' perceptions and expectations of virtual
faculty exchange programs conducted in higher learning
institutions from the Philippines and Indonesia. This study
utilized descriptive research to describe the undergraduate
students' perceptions on the instructional aspect of the
virtual faculty exchange program and their expectations to
provide a basis for improving the quality of the activity in
the future. This study was participated by seventy-seven
(77) undergraduate students taking up computing courses
from the Philippines and Indonesia during the second
semester of Academic Year 2020-2021. Results revealed
that the student's perception of the quality of the
instructions received from both universities was "Very
Good" (WM = 4.41), indicating that students were excited
and looked forward to learning many things in the virtual
faculty exchange program. Moreover, the expectations of
the students showed that student-respondents had
expectations relating to improving themselves, learning
new things from foreign instructors, cultural and
international experience, the personality of the instructors,
and self-expression. In conclusion, the findings of this
study provide a basis for improving the quality of
delivering instruction for the virtual faculty exchange
program.
