摘要:

Faculty development efforts are vitally needed in higher education today.

The author explores the nature and need for faculty development, discusses some faculty development options, and provides a selected number of resources.

摘要:

Arizona State University (ASU) serves as a case study of a comprehensive faculty development program in a large university characterized by numerous overlapping and fragmented resources and services. In this setting, the task of faculty development is to provide the leadership that is necessary to mold these fragments into a coherent vision and mission that promotes the aims of the university and supports the needs of the faculty. Programs based on the consortium, the cooperative, and the distributed models make fragmentation work for, rather than against, the program. In addition, faculty development must work to establish an academic environment that values teaching, research, and scholarly outreach—the constituent elements of a comprehensive progra

摘要:

A Wakonse Conference on College Teaching is a week‐long retreat that provides renewal and support for college teaching. Offered in a secluded environment away from campus, it engages faculty from various colleges in demonstration and discussion of what makes teaching effective and rewarding. Wakonse is a grassroots movement within the academy to bring teaching to the forefront and make it central to the mission of higher education. Support for what makes Wakonse effective can be found in much of the student development literatur

摘要:

The author examines the effectiveness of a Practicum in the Teaching of Psychology for the training of prospective faculty members. Specifically, the author examines the following questions: (a) In what areas do prospective faculty need more knowledge or skills, (b) what activities most increased self‐efficacy, and (c) what can be learned through an intensive, single‐subject design about the process of becoming a teacher? Pre‐ and posttesting and a qualitative protocol were used to examine the change process. Results indicated a profound need for information on a broad range of topics and revealed that feedback from students and the practicum instructor was the primary source of increasing self‐e

摘要:

In the face of widespread public dissatisfaction with higher education, faculty development programs—especially semester‐ and year‐long leaves—have become more important than ever before as a means of helping faculty broaden their scholarship and enhance their teaching. Department chairs should play an important hand in decisions on faculty development assignments. Given that they also have other important responsibilities, however, ways must be found to entice department chairs to become as involved in faculty development as they are in promotion and tenure, curriculum review, and decisions on merit salary increments. The particular value of faculty development programs for women and members of minority groups must also be recognized. These two groups of faculty may experience special problems in adjusting to faculty life, which make faculty development opportunities even more valuable to them than to

摘要:

If universities are to support faculty contributions across the full range of the mission of higher education (teaching, research, and service), several changes must occur. Teaching must become a community activity discussed openly and widely: presidents and provosts must hold departments as a whole responsible and accountable for contributions to mission: and learned societies must participate in supporting teaching and, when appropriate, reflective practice in addition to research and scholarship. These points are brought out in the articles contained in this issue and warrant further attention.
