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.

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.

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.

This article describes and assesses “Research Circles” as a mechanism for enhancing faculty collegiality and research. Recently
established on our campus, these circles, composed of three to four faculty members, have had a particularly powerful effect
on the new faculty members' adjustment to their tenure track positions, especially since they entered a context that might
otherwise have been challenging: a new interdisciplinary upper-division campus with high expectations for teaching excellence.
Based on the end-of-year evaluations, journals, and focus groups, the co-authors described themes that emerged from their
participation in these circles. Circle participation not only facilitated faculty writing throughout their first year, but
it also fostered the development of an interdisciplinary community which nurtured creativity and risk taking in writing.

Our paper presents an in-service primary school teachers’ training program which is based on the idea that the history of
science can play a vital role in promoting the learning of physics. This training program has been developed in the context
of Comenius 2.1 which is a European Union program. This program that we have developed in the University of Athens is based
on socioconstructivist and sociocultural learning principles with the intention of helping teachers to appropriate the basic
knowledge on the issue of falling bodies. Moreover, it has the aim to make explicit through the exploitation of authentic
historical science events, on the above topic (Aristotle’s, Galileo’s and Newton’s theories on falling bodies) the Nature
of Science (NoS), the Nature of Learning (NoL) and the Nature of Teaching (NoT). During the implementation of the program
we have used a variety of teaching strategies (e.g. group work, making of posters, making of concept maps, simulations) that
utilize historical scientific materials on the issue of falling bodies.

This qualitative study makes the case for the implementation of curriculum mapping, a procedure that creates a visual representation
of curriculum based on real time information, as a way to increase collaboration and collegiality in higher education. Through
the use of curriculum mapping, eleven faculty members in a western state university Teacher Licensure program aligned and
revised the teacher education curriculum across a sequence of courses. An increase in collaboration and collegiality among
faculty emerged as an unintended outcome as a result of participation in the project.

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.

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.

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.

In an effort to meet the challenge of preparing new international graduate students in chemistry for assignments as teaching assistants (TAs), an innovative training program was designed which incorporated the collaborative efforts of language, pedagogy, and subject matter specialists. This paper describes the approach taken in providing discipline-specific training for new international TAs (ITAs) by providing the rationale and curriculum for such a program and describing the implementation of this program through the academic year. The paper concludes by describing the results of the project on those ITAs who participated and the benefits and limitations of using this approach.Mark W.

Written comments on student evaluations often seem idiosyncratic, lacking the power of numerical statistical data. These statements, however, may sometimes reveal intellectual challenges common to novice learners in our disciplines. Instructors can use these insights as part of a scholarly approach to teaching, making meaningful adjustments to future classes and informing curricular choices in productive ways. In this article we examine common student complaints in three particular situations: quantitative classes, writing-intensive courses, and classes taught using student-active formats. We discuss implications of these comments for faculty as they seek to promote students’ intellectual development.

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.

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.

Numerous instructional design models have been proposed over the past several decades. Instead of focusing on the design process
(means), this study investigated how learners perceived the quality of instruction they experienced (ends). An electronic
survey instrument containing nine a priori scales was developed. Students responded from 89 different undergraduate and graduate
courses at multiple institutions (n = 140). Data analysis indicated strong correlations between student self-reports on academic learning time, how much they
learned, First Principles of Instruction, their satisfaction with the course, perceptions of their mastery of course objectives,
and global course ratings. Most importantly, these scales measure principles with which instructional developers and teachers
can evaluate their products and courses, regardless of design processes used: provide authentic tasks for students to do;
activate prior learning; demonstrate what is to be learned; provide repeated opportunities for students to successfully complete
authentic tasks with coaching and feedback; and help students integrate what they have learned into their personal lives.

Although substantial areas of agreement exist regarding the characteristics of effective community–university partnerships
for research, there is little empirical research on the relationship between the characteristics of such partnerships and
their outcomes. In this study, we explored the relationship between partnership characteristics and partnership outcomes.
Analyses of the relationships between partnership dynamics and perceived benefits show that (1) effective partnership management
is associated with increased research on a community issue, problem, or need; (2) co-creation of knowledge is associated with
improved service outcomes for clients; and (3) shared power and resources are negatively associated with increased funding
for community partners’ organizations. Our findings suggest that effective partnership management and opportunities for the
co-creation of knowledge are practices that are worthy of deliberate cultivation within community–university partnerships
for research.

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.
