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.

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.

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.

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.

Engaging Undergraduate Students in Research Activities: Are Research Universities Doing a Better Job? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Engaging undergraduate students in research activities has been advocated as an innovative strategy to improve American higher
education (Boyer Commission, Reinventing undergraduate education: A blueprint for America’s research universities. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Stony Brook, NY, 1998). This study compared the frequency of undergraduate
student research experiences at different types of colleges and universities from the early 1990s through 2004. The results
indicate that the frequency of student research experiences increased since 1998 at all types of institutions and that students
at research universities were not more likely than their counterparts elsewhere to have such experiences. The findings were
consistent across major fields. To live up to their claims, research universities must find additional ways to involve undergraduates
in research with faculty members.

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.

Research has shown that first-generation, low-income college students experience both isolation and marginalization, especially
during their first-year of college, which impacts their long-term persistence in higher education. In this article, I argue
that learning community pedagogy designed with attention to multicultural curricula is one vehicle to address the challenges
faced by these college students. Organized around the themes of identity, community, and agency, an interdisciplinary Multicultural
Learning Voices Community (MLVC) was created at a large, public midwestern research university to provide TRiO students with
challenging academic coursework that would connect with their lived experience and help them build bridges of social and academic
integration during their critical first-year of college. This article presents qualitative data from a multiple case study
of seven cohorts of the MLVC, which captures students’ perceptions of their experience.

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.

Scholars in teaching and learning value student research and program assessment as strategies to promote excellence in undergraduate
education. Yet, in practice, each can be complex and difficult to sustain. This case study demonstrates how undergraduate
research, mentoring of junior faculty, and assessment can be integrated in ways that enrich the educational experiences of
students and the professional development of faculty and improve research on teaching and learning. The authors describe a
lively undergraduate research project that became tied to the mentoring of assistant professors and then to program assessment.
We conclude with recommendations for implementing such a project in other academic settings.

Role play simulations: The assessment of an active learning technique and comparisons with traditional lectures 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Although effective teaching is focusing more on the need to use active learning techniques, the research literature regarding the efficacy of various teaching methods is inconclusive. An innovative active learning technique combining the features of role plays and simulations for an industrial psychology course is presented. Subjective reports and objective assessments of knowledge retention measured at two distinct times indicated the role play simulation is an effective teaching technique. The differential importance of active learning and passive learning (i.e., lectures) techniques for the college classroom was also examined. Finally, the application of this technique for several college courses is presented.Professor DeNeve is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Baylor University. She received a B.A. in Psychology and Theology from St. Ambrose University and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Are four heads better than one? A comparison of cooperative and traditional teaching formats in an introductory biology course 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The objective of this experiment was to compare the impact of a cooperative learning format with a traditional lecture-oriented format in the teaching of introductory biology. Differences were found in favor of the cooperative learning format in measures of student satisfaction, the ability to find information on one's own, the acquisition of factual knowledge, and the ability to work with others. The results of this study affirm the viability of using a cooperative learning approach over a traditional lecture format.Judith E.

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.

Maximizing Learning Through Course Alignment and Experience with Different Types of Knowledge 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Phyllis Blumberg 《Innovative Higher Education》2009,34(2):93-103
Consistency among the objectives, learning activities, and assessment exercises results in aligned courses, which give students
direction and clarity and yield increased learning. However, instructors may not check for course alignment. This article
describes a concrete way to determine course alignment by plotting the course components on a table using the cognitive process
levels from a revised taxonomy of learning objectives. Once instructors realize that courses are misaligned, they can make
adjustments. By giving students experience with varied types of knowledge, which is the other part of this taxonomy, they
also learn more. The types of knowledge include factual, conceptual, procedural, and meta-cognitive knowledge.

Research lauds the benefits of parent involvement in the schools, yet many schools and communities have not achieved desired
levels of involvement. Underlying expectations and methods soliciting parent involvement may be rooted in cultural misperceptions.
This study, based on Epstein’s (1987) Overlapping Spheres of Influence model, explored the ways and extent that community
members, school staff, and Samoan families interact regarding a public middle school. Qualitative research methods (interviews
and observations) involved parents, teachers, administrators, and community agency members and officials in participatory
action research. Findings displayed a base of cultural differences regarding parent involvement: Samoan parents were expected
to participate in school events and assist children with homework, yet Samoan culture has historically divided the parents’
responsibilities from the teachers’ responsibilities. Parents identified their responsibilities for children’s spirituality
and discipline and viewed academic matters as solely the responsibility of teachers. The school’s new activities, parents’
shifting focus, and community members’ diverse actions are demonstrating a start of change. This research supports the need
for school personnel to understand the cultural roots of minority families’ parent involvement practices.

This article presents research and narratives on the integration of course-based peer learning assistants into seven courses.
A new curricular peer mentoring program was piloted in the 2005–2006 academic year in an interdisciplinary liberal arts college
at a large Canadian research university. Undergraduate students enrolled in a practicum course which supported their learning
while they collaborated with the “host instructor” of the course in which they served as peer mentor. Assistants’ roles varied
and included individual tutoring, help via email, online discussion facilitation, small group facilitation, in-class presentation
and discussion facilitation, and extracurricular study groups. Their integration into scheduled class activities resulted
in participating students’ perception of enhanced learning. Data included peer mentors’ assignments, host instructor feedback,
and student surveys.

Peer Coaching: Professional Development for Experienced Faculty 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The professoriate, as a whole, is growing older and more experienced; yet institutions often overlook the professional development
needs of mid-career and senior faculty. This article, based on a review of the literature and the development of a peer coaching
project, examines peer coaching as a professional development opportunity for experienced faculty that meets many of their
immediate needs and offers a variety of longer-term benefits to their institution. Six recommendations for creating a peer
coaching program emerge from the literature and the authors’ experience.

In the two decades since Audre Lorde (1984) pointed out that we have no patterns for relating across our differences as equals (p. 115), struggles to transform higher education have come to focus on communication about and across differences. Despite these efforts, conversations in higher education about group difference and equity too often exacerbate feelings of cynicism and disenfranchisement. In this article we discuss research into the actual discourses at work in communication about the cultural politics of institutional practices. We report on an analysis of qualitative data, using this data to help clarify the challenges of relating across differences as equals.Patrick Bruch is Assistant Professor of Writing Studies in the General College at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

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.

This study used empirical data to investigate College of Education faculty’s perceptions, beliefs, and commitment to diversity. A 44-item survey composed of Likert scale-type questions about characteristics, experiences, perspectives, and personal commitments to addressing diversity issues together with demographic questions, was administered to 116 COE faculty from four urban universities. A MANOVA where the independent variables were the demographic data and the dependent variables were five subscales (importance of diversity, training for pre-service teachers, college support, teaching diversity in courses, and issues of racial sensitivity) identified four statistically significant factors in faculty’s beliefs regarding the importance of diversity. The study found no support for a relationship between the faculty’s beliefs about the importance of teaching diversity and their teaching practices.Lynn A.
