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. Her current teaching interests are focused upon the use of laserdiscs and computer-generated media in the classroom. Her primary research interests include empirical investigations of active learning techniques, quantitative research synthesis, subjective well-being, and the psychology of religion.

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.

This multicase study investigated the learning experiences of four college students identified respectively as internal and external locus of control. They were taking a basic educational technology course that supplemented classroom teaching with two course web sites. Four categories that characterized their learning experiences suggested some relationship between locus of control and learning experience.Danhua Wang is Assistant Professor of Reading at St. Louis Community College.

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.

This study examined perceptions of college of education students and their experiences with Channel One, a privately-owned
news service used in public education. Given that about one-third of middle and high schoolers in the US view the broadcast
every school day, the authors surveyed 172 freshmen to discern their views and attitudes toward Channel One programming and
commercials and the role colleges and universities might play in relation to this media service. While most studies on Channel
One have been conducted from a K-12 point of view, the goal of this study was to reconsider the topic from the perspective
of prospective teachers and post-secondary education.

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.

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.

With the number of nontraditional students on college campuses continuing to increase, college educators need to become aware of issues regarding the mixed‐age classroom. Part of this awareness should be an understanding of how faculty perceive different‐aged students and their mixed‐age classroom experiences. Through telephone interviews with approximately 100 faculty, we investigate attitudes about the professor‐student relationship, views toward teaching in a mixed‐age classroom, and beliefs about both older and younger students. 相似文献

New standards for certification were recently developed for speech–language pathology graduate training programs by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. The new standards are outcomes-based rather than process-based.

This study examines perspectives of educators on the advanced placement opportunity gap for African American students. Using
interviews with 11 educators from 10 high schools, we explored their perceptions regarding the impact of a local academic
achievement program on the enrollment of African American students in honors and advanced placement courses. Results of the
analysis suggest that there is a perceived and real gap in the participation of African American students in AP courses. Findings
also revealed that educators were concerned about the lack of access for African American students to AP courses. Further,
issues of belonging and operational citizenship within the school environment were raised. Recommendations for pedagogical
techniques are presented as well as suggestions for future research.

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.

An analysis of 73 portfolios, prepared by University of Florida faculty as part of the Teaching Improvement Program competition, revealed tremendous variability in the quantity, quality, and coherence of the evidence presented to support claims of excellence in teaching. By analyzing portfolios prepared by faculty members representing different colleges and different types of teaching assignments, the researchers developed seven common guidelines for portfolio construction.Dorene Doerre Ross is Professor of Education and Coordinator of Elementary Teacher Education Programs at the University of Florida.

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.

Assessing Assessment: The Effects of Two Exam Formats on Course Achievement and Evaluation 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1
This research examines the effect of two testing strategies on academic achievement and summative evaluations in an introductory statistics course. In 2001, 63 students underwent an hourly midterm format; and in 2002, 68 students underwent a bi-weekly exam format. Other than the exam format, the class lectures and labs were identical in terms of content, structure, pace, and the cumulative final exam. Findings from the regression analyses show that students in the bi-weekly format performed better than the students in the hourly midterm format. On average, students who took the bi-weekly exams performed about 10 percentage points higher (one letter grade) on the exams during the semester and about 15 percentage points higher on the cumulative final exam compared to their peers who took hourly midterms. The benefits of the bi-weekly format were significantly greater among female students than male students. Finally, students in the bi-weekly format were less likely to drop the class and evaluated the class far more favorably.

Over the past two years the authors have provided experiential learning in the form of a simulation exercise to help 240 college students relate personally to the foundations of education. Introductory courses, with a preponderance of facts and breadth of content, can easily overwhelm students. The simulation not only energized the students but also personalized an in-depth understanding of educational issues. This theoretical knowledge was applied practically, a link which may often be missing in many introductory courses.Kathleen K. Montgomery holds a D. Ed. from The Pennsylvania State University. She is Assistant Professor of Education at Elmira College, where she teaches Introduction to Education, Instructional Strategies, and Curriculum and Instruction for Elementary Education.

This study examined the experiences of 13 graduate students enrolled in a closed, lock-step master's degree of the education
cohort program. Interview and observational data, collected over 10 months and across four courses, were qualitatively analyzed
to explore students' understanding of the meaning of cohort membership and how that membership both shaped their educational
experience and the development of peer and instructor relationships. Results indicate that both the meaning and influence
of cohort membership were fluid and evolved as students progressed in their program, changing from an inconsequential to a
significant meaning and from a modest to a deep influence.

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.

Fitting the Mold of Graduate School: A Qualitative Study of Socialization in Doctoral Education 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
Susan K. Gardner 《Innovative Higher Education》2008,33(2):125-138
Doctoral student attrition in the United States has reached alarming proportions, with reported rates of approximately 50%
across disciplines (Nettles and Millett 2006). Attrition rates of underrepresented populations have been reported at higher
rates across disciplines (Council of Graduate Schools 2004), pointing to a disparate experience for these students. Socialization
has been shown to be a determining factor in doctoral student success and retention (Turner and Thompson 1993) while not necessarily
reflecting how the socialization experience differs by disciplinary and institutional contexts. Through this qualitative study
I sought to understand the effects of the socialization process upon doctoral student success and retention in the disciplines
of chemistry and history at two institutions. Results highlighted a disparate experience for women, students of color, students
with families, part-time students, and older students. Suggestions for policy, practice, and further research are included.

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.
