Philosophy: A Special Place in the Liberal Arts     

Roland Garrett 《College Teaching》2013,61(4):139-141

Abstract

A comprehensive model of the dynamics of one-on-one teaching is described. Adoption of specific teaching styles is influenced by the learning styles of students; the interest in faculty to build interpersonal relationships with learners; teacher need to control the task; the capability of students; and situational constraints. In clinical settings, thesis work, and other areas, faculty preferred the use of Personal Model, Facilitator, and Delegator teaching styles. Relative to classroom teaching, these styles were used more frequently and the Expert and Formal Authority Styles were less prominent. This is consistent with the goals of one-on-one teaching to develop the ability of learners to work independently.  相似文献

Abstract

Although they may have trouble admitting it, many teaching faculty and teaching librarians have problems in the classroom. The key works discussed briefly in this article should help faculty realize that their problems are not unique, that others have faced them, and that some have found ways to grapple with, and even overcome them.  相似文献

康奈尔大学章程对我国大学章程建设的启示     

李硕豪  王丹丹 《教育与教学研究》2011,(8):60-63

大学章程是由大学权利机构制定的治校总纲领,它作为国家高等教育立法体系以外的且与高等学校内部管理密切相关的制度规则,事关高等学校权力配置、发展目标、师生权利义务实现、社会资助与回馈等重大问题,在大学发展中起着重要作用。通过对康奈尔大学的大学章程文本的整理,对其大学章程中的大学使命、办学理念、大学事务管理体制、董事会制度、教授治校、章程的制定与修改等方面的分析,建议中国大学章程要彰显有特色的办学理念,要有可操作性,减少抽象性表述,应对"教授参与管理"有明确的规定,应完善大学章程的制定、修改程序。  相似文献   

Student Participation in Scholarly Communication and Library Digital Collections: A Case Study from the University of Washington Bothell Library     

Denise Hattwig  Nia Lam  Jill Freidberg 《College & Undergraduate Libraries》2015,22(2):188-208

The University of Washington Bothell & Cascadia College Library recently partnered with a faculty member to develop a digital collection showcasing student-produced digital oral histories. This case study describes the role of the library as faculty partner, student resource, and repository/publisher. Archiving and publishing requirements—such as file formats, agreement forms, and metadata—were integrated into the assignment and included as part of each project's overall evaluation and grade. Librarians provided instruction to teach students about topics related to knowledge production and scholarly communication. Assessment included student feedback surveys and faculty feedback to librarians.  相似文献

吴锦旗 《高教发展与评估》2011,27(1)

教授治校是一种源自于西方的大学内部管理模式,中国的大学教育在向西方学习的过程中,移植、借鉴了教授治校制度。它先是由北京大学开始,后来在清华大学被发扬光大,清华大学的教授治校制度能够长期延续和维持,有其特定的历史情境和内在原因,其教授治校制度直到今天仍然是大学改革的方向。  相似文献

Using methodological triangulation to examine the effectiveness of a mentoring program for online instructors     

Michelle Drouin  Jennifer Stewart  Karen Van Gorder 《Distance Education》2015,36(3):400-418

In this quasi-experimental mixed methods study, we examined the effectiveness of a faculty-to-faculty mentoring program to increase student success rates in online courses at an American university. Over one semester, 24 faculty mentees worked with 6 faculty mentors on improving course organization and implementing student engagement techniques. Using methodological triangulation, we found positive results for two of our effectiveness measures (i.e., mentor and mentee feedback and mentors’ ratings of mentees’ courses). However, in terms of our third measure (i.e., student learning data), although institutional data showed that there was a 4.1% aggregate increase in online student success after the intervention, the intervention group made no significantly greater gains than two control groups. Our findings highlight some benefits and shortcomings of these types of university initiatives and also emphasize the importance of using triangulation to integrate participant feedback with formal measures of student success.  相似文献   

How MOOC instructors view the pedagogy and purposes of massive open online courses     

Suzannah Evans  Jessica Gall Myrick 《Distance Education》2015,36(3):295-311

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have proliferated in recent years despite disagreement about the role of MOOCs in higher education and whether student outcomes are satisfactory. Taking a mixed-methods approach, the current study surveys professors who have taught MOOCs (n = 162) in order to better understand how MOOCs are perceived by instructors. Professors’ backgrounds and beliefs about the role of MOOCs in higher education and their perceptions of the experiences of students are discussed. In addition, professors’ satisfaction in teaching MOOCs is reported. The study finds that most MOOC professors are experienced faculty members with relatively little prior experience teaching online, and that they are divided about the purpose of MOOCs in the institutional landscape of higher education.  相似文献
