Mentorship Efforts to Support Part-time Social Work Faculty Members     

Marcia A. Shobe  Yvette Murphy-Erby  Jared Sparks 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2013,21(5):446-460

Social work faculty experience increasing demands to develop and maintain a research portfolio that includes external funding and publications. Given the increase in research expectations, more part-time instructors are needed to teach courses. In addition to the literature review, we briefly describe a pilot part-time faculty mentorship project developed by our school to build a strong, connected, and consistent part-time faculty team. However, we also wanted to examine mentorship programs at other schools/departments of social work; as a result, we conducted an exploratory research study with social work deans and directors nationwide. Findings suggested that while schools of social work are more likely to employ greater numbers of faculty overall, departments tend to have higher teaching expectations for full-time tenure-track faculty. Despite variability among responses, most schools and departments provide some form of support to part-time faculty members; a lack of resources was given as the primary reason for limited mentorship activities.  相似文献   

Faculty integration of technology in teacher preparation: outcomes of a development model     

Sharon Judge  Blanche O’Bannon 《Technology, Pedagogy and Education》2013,22(1):17-28

This article reports on a faculty development model that uses a variety of approaches and strategies to help faculty restructure their curricula and effectively model technology integration for their students. A multifaceted model, funded in part by the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) initiative, was implemented at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The model included training, technical and collegial support, access, and incentives. Questionnaires and qualitative data indicated substantive changes in faculty expectations and assumptions regarding technology as well as increases in faculty and student technology skills and the degree to which faculty members integrate technology into their curricula. The model helped to facilitate the collaborative efforts of a cadre of faculty to model and integrate technology throughout their teacher preparation programs.  相似文献

BookReviews     

Kelly Coate  Michelle Tooher 《Teaching in Higher Education》2013,18(3):347-370

Teachers in American study-abroad programs usually receive little, if any, training before the trip, because ‘teaching is teaching’. The cultural differences between Chinese and American university classrooms, however, affect the students' ability to learn and the teacher's ability to teach in profound ways. Foreign teachers in China require at least a basic understanding of the educational, moral and political dimensions of their classrooms if they wish to maximize the learning potential of their Chinese students. Faculty teaching abroad should be prepared for the politics of their new university department, including management styles that can hamper efforts to acclimatize to the new setting.  相似文献   

中澳高职教育师资队伍建设比较研究     

彭丹逵  钟美华 《广东广播电视大学学报》2013,(4):6-9

经过近30年的建设,我国高等职业教育取得了世人注目的进步,但值得注意的是我国的职业教育离发达国家高等职业教育的发展水平还有很大的差距,特别是在师资队伍的建设上尤显薄弱。通过对中澳两国职业教育师资队伍建设进行比较研究,从中可以获得几点促进我国高职教育师资队伍建设的启示:应高度重视教师的引进与培养,严把"入门关";建设一支素质优良、结构稳定的兼职教师队伍;脚踏实地地开展注重实效的产学结合、校企合作等。  相似文献

管理人员和教师是大学组织中的两个重要阶层 ,这两个阶层之间的关系问题 ,是大学管理活动中十分重要也是必须面对的问题。美国学者罗伯特·伯恩鲍姆把高等学校抽象为四种基本的组织运行模式 :学会组织模式 ,官僚组织模式 ,政党组织模式 ,无政府组织模式。笔者分析发现 ,与这四种大学组织运行模式相对应的 ,行政人员和教师的关系各不相同 ,分别表现为 :平等与和谐、离散与隔膜、对立与对话、自由与自主。  相似文献
