Using data from the College Student Experience Questionnaire research program between 1998 and 2004, this study examined the effects of student engagement in inquiry-oriented activities
on a range of self-reported college outcomes. The results indicate that (1) engaging in inquiry-oriented activities has significant
and positive effects on a global measure of gains; (2) engagement has positive effects on some college outcomes but negative
effects on others; (3) the effects of inquiry-oriented activities are conditional, with some students benefiting more than
others. This study reveals the complexity of the influences of inquiry-oriented activities on college students and points
to implications for institutional policies and programs that may be effective in fostering desired college outcomes.

In light of the widespread recognition of the enduring challenge of enhancing the learning of all students—including a growing
number of students representing diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds—there has been an explosion of literature
on teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. Notwithstanding scores of promising new ideas, individual faculty
in higher education need a dynamic and inclusive model to help them engage in a systematic and continuous process of exploring
and testing various teaching and assessment practices to ensure the learning of their students. This paper introduces a model—Teaching-for-Learning
(TFL)—developed to meet this need.

All programs in a midwestern university recently embarked on a path to help increase the scholarly productivity of faculty.
The effort to develop a research emphasis within the School of Education required determining the needs of tenure-track faculty
regarding meeting the new requirements. The purposes of our study were to investigate these needs and identify the individual,
environmental, and leadership factors that affect faculty productivity. Findings revealed a need to transform the School’s
service and teaching culture to a culture of research and scholarship. Recommendations for helping other schools of education
to become more research-oriented are provided. While the study focuses on data from a particular School of Education, the
implications may generalize to faculty productivity within other institutions, particularly within professional schools.

Faculty, staff, and student perceptions of high-quality learning experiences were explored using focus groups attempting to
define a “learning-centered” college. Common themes emerged suggesting that a successful learning community requires faculty-student
collaboration, effective communication, critical thinking skills, reciprocal respect, faculty passion for learning, high expectations
of both students and faculty, a variety of teaching and assessment strategies, and student engagement in and responsibility
for learning. All groups stressed the need for learning opportunities outside the classroom in both intellectual and social
situations. These themes provide a conceptual framework for future campus initiatives, which has broad relevance for other
institutions.

While there has been emphasis on the institution and individual classroom as loci of learning and reform, less attention has
been paid to the academic department. However, precisely because its structure is so endemic to institutions of higher education,
the academic department may be the most logical and potent site for change. Using a case study approach, this paper examines
the conditions under which change in undergraduate education takes hold and flourishes in the academic department, advances
the concept of readiness, and explores its implications for those who wish to promote change in the department.

The Ph.D. versus the Ed.D.: Time for a decision 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In this study, U.S. institutions that offer doctoral programs in education were surveyed and institutional catalogues of the past decade were reviewed to determine trends regarding the Ph.D. versus the Ed.D. Results of the study showed that (a) there is no clear institutional movement toward one degree title or the other; (b) research universities are increasingly reluctant and comprehensive colleges and universities are increasingly likely to offer the Ed.D. as their only doctoral degree title, and (c) requirements for the two doctoral titles are remarkably similar, including competencies in research and statistics. Findings are discussed in relation to three common positions of those who favor the Ed.D. over the Ph.D.: (a) the professional school argument, (b) the unification argument, and (c) the autonomy argument. The article concludes with a call for increased national dialogue to strengthen the education profession by reducing confusion between its two doctoral degree titles.Russell T.

The Influences of Faculty on Undergraduate Student Participation in Research and Creative Activities
Using data collected from surveys of college juniors and seniors and faculty members in related academic departments, this
study examined whether faculty teaching and research orientations, as well as faculty external funding, had any impact on
undergraduate student participation in research and creative activities. The results of the study indicated that faculty research
orientation and external funding were indeed positively related to student participation in research activities. However,
faculty members’ teaching orientation was not significant. Further analyses indicated that faculty teaching and research orientations
had different impacts on a range of research and creative activities by undergraduate students. The findings from this study
provide insight on ways of improving college teaching and learning as well as informing the development of institutional academic
policies related to faculty and undergraduate education.

Through this study we explored a community of practice framework applied to faculty professional development at a mid-size
state university in order to examine the issues unique to discipline-specific professional development in higher education.
Through content-focused professional development activities conducted by the authors, several key areas were identified that
point to challenges in building a faculty community of teaching practice: (a) the need for a culture of professional development,
(b) developing old-timers and recruiting newcomers, (c) the need for teaching scholars to coordinate professional development,
(d) challenging the “culture of service”, and (e) the need for a language to mediate thinking about practice.

In this article we argue that student learning is enhanced by theoretical eclecticism, which we define as intentionally drawing on different theories of learning when making instructional decisions to provide students with the instructional support they need to be successful. We briefly review the literature on four views of learning and on learner-centered approaches to instruction and then integrate this literature with Barr and Taggs (1995) distinction between the instruction paradigm and the learning paradigm. Finally, we present examples from a teacher education course to illustrate how theoretical eclecticism can be used to support student learning.Anastasia S.

Abstract To better prepare pre-service candidates for teaching in the information age, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has defined National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) to guide technology integration into teacher education programs. Based on these standards, Brigham Young University (BYU) has implemented strategies for technology integration into their teacher education program by creating curriculum design teams composed of School of Education faculty, public school personnel, and instructional design and technology specialists. This paper describes basic principles that have led to the successful development of curriculum design teams for systemic reform in teacher education. 相似文献

In this article we address the implementation of sustainable technological change among the faculty, staff, and students in
the College of Education and Human Services at a mid-western urban institution. We examine cultural factors common to institutions
of higher education and then describe particular planning and implementation processes employed at one institution to move
faculty and staff from a state of minimal technology use to one of substantial technological competence over a period of years.
The process turns out to be robust and stable despite growth over time. We conclude with recommendations for other educational
institutions facing similar needs for cultural change in the use of technology.

Using a case study approach, the authors examine the democratic and civic engagement learning outcomes of a campus protest.
The conceptual framework is built on the ideas outlined in Learning Reconsidered (Keeling 2004) and modeled in its pragmatic follow-up, Learning Reconsidered 2 (Keeling 2006). Results suggest student and campus administrator actions during a campus protest support democratic aims, student development,
and digital age democracy. Recommendations for campus educators are included. This study extends previous discussion on activism’s
journey from detrimental to developmental (Astin 1999; Chambers & Phelps 1993; Hamrick 1998; Hunter 1988) by mapping the learning environment through the interaction of protestor and university and by incorporating new forms of
activism.

African American female faculty at large research universities are given the same responsibilities as other faculty. They must teach, conduct research, engage in worthwhile service to the university community, and regularly disseminate the results of their work in scholarly publications. Rewards from the university are directly tied to the level of success that the faculty member experiences. The minority label is often a barrier to the African American female faculty member's search for full standing in the university's community of scholars. To overcome this barrier, African American women must find and use the best information available to help them. This includes finding a good mentor, mastering a variety of information sources, and building a strong personal and professional network.Melvin M. Bowie is an associate professor and graduate coordinator in the Department of Instructional Technology at the University of Georgia. She received her A.B. degree in history and French from Tougaloo College; an M.S. in library science from the University of Illinois; and, a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instructional Media from Iowa State University.

We measured student knowledge and motivation at the beginning and end of a three-week general psychology course. Two large
lecture sections (N = 215 and N = 154) were compared; one used a cooperative learning process, and one did not. Student knowledge significantly improved
in both sections, but there was no additional benefit derived from using cooperative learning. Interestingly, student motivation
significantly decreased in the cooperative learning section. With recognition of the study’s limitations, we conclude that cooperative learning has
limited efficacy in large enrollment, compressed courses.

In 1978 Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, adopted the One-Course-At-A-Time calendar, under which professors teach and students take one course only for three-and-a-half week terms. This paper examines the impact of the calendar on overall faculty workload and student performance and development. It also considers faculty attitudes concerning the effects of the intensive format on teaching effectiveness and student learning, along with the types of courses and teaching methods best suited to the calendar. Faculty and student satisfaction with the calendar is high.Charlotte Vaughan received a B.A. from Northwestern University, a Masters of Science in Teaching from Illinois Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Chicago.

Undergraduate Student Socialization and Learning in an Online Professional Curriculum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using data collected from a qualitative case study of an online baccalaureate nursing program, we examined the influence of
online degree programs on undergraduate student socialization and learning. We considered how components of socialization—knowledge
acquisition, investment, and involvement—are influenced by the online context. The findings suggest the importance of considering
non-academic influences in regards to nontraditional student experiences. The theoretical intersection of online learning
and undergraduate student development offers new and significant areas of research, specifically related to the pedagogical
role of faculty and the impact of social engagement. Implications for future research and practice are offered.

Structured collaborative learning activities undertaken in two graduate level classes are described. Student and instructor perspectives on these activities are explored based on data collected through interviews, open-ended evaluation instruments, and journals. Four perspectives on collaborative learning emerged from the data: (1) student expectations; (2) instructor tolerance for ambiguity and flexibility; (3) student reliance on authority; and, (4) evaluation of student learning. Suggestions for implementing collaborative groups in graduate courses are presented.Julie A.

Key voices influencing higher education are increasingly aware of engagement in effecting change. Public research universities
have missions compatible with engagement, but efforts to institutionalize it may conflict with their underlying values. Using
boundary expansion as the analytical framework, this study compared the institutionalization of engagement at two types of
public research universities. Land-grant universities implement engagement primarily through outreach and extension in specialized
units. At urban or metropolitan universities, engagement is more often a university-wide agenda, impacting teaching, research,
and partnerships. The difference between the two approaches can be explained by examining institutional capacity for boundary
reshaping and expansion.

We conducted the present study to investigate whether college students adjust their study strategies to meet the cognitive demands of testing, a metacognitive self-regulatory skill. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the two testing conditions. In one condition we told participants to study for a test that required deep-level cognitive processing and in the other to study for a test that required surface-level cognitive processing. Results suggested that college students adjust their study strategies so that they are in line with the cognitive processing demands of tests and that performance is mediated by the study strategies that are used.Margaret E.
