This book was released on 2015 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diversity of attitudes held by California community college faculty about Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) was studied. In twelve semi-structured interviews, faculty informants explained how their work has changed as a result of increased standardization and accountability measures, how they value those changes, and how they expect the profession to change in the near future. The results seem to indicate that faculty who have internalized the ideology of managerialism embrace SLOs while those who are skeptical of the accountability measurement find managerial values to be deleterious to faculty professional control and autonomy. Implications for the future of a collegial faculty culture in California's community colleges are discussed, and policy is suggested.

Book excerpt: Studies have sounded the alarm concerning the impending void of leadership that community colleges will face in the 21st century. One concern is that the pool of applicants from the traditional leadership pathway of existing community college faculty members has decreased dramatically in the past decade. This study explored faculty perceptions of the administration positions in California community colleges and their desire and willingness to step into these roles. The study also looked at the impact of the underlying issues associated with the motivation for life-work balance on the likelihood of community college faculty to apply for administrative positions. This study was conducted through a mixed-method design involving quantitative and qualitative data collection. A survey was sent to all tenured and tenure-track faculty at community colleges in San Diego County, California. There were 341 participants who completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 22.7%. The first research question sought to explore faculty's perceptions of the administration positions at California community colleges and their desire to step into those roles. Three themes emerged in analyzing the responses of why faculty consider going into administration: (1) improve the system or college; make a difference, (2) personal growth and challenge, and (3) salary and/or benefits. In addition, five main themes emerged from reasons why faculty would not consider jumping into administration: (1) workload, stress, and lack of flexibility for family time; (2) lack of job satisfaction due to bureaucracy, incompetent colleagues, or system; (3) love of teaching and profession; (4) lack of job security; and (5) going to the "dark" side. The second research question sought to explore to what extent motivators for life-work balance affect the decision of California community college faculty to leap to administration. The motivators for life-work balance do influence the faculty in the decision to jump into administration; however, there was no significant difference between Generation X and the baby boom generation's belief in achieving the balance. The study concludes with recommendations to community college administrators, board of trustees and faculty
Book Synopsis Faculty Perceptions of Under-prepared Students in Community College by :

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-secondary education is experiencing increasing numbers of incoming freshman who are academically under-prepared for college level work. California Community Colleges have more academically under-prepared students than any other institutions in the state, with 60-90% of incoming freshman in need of some form of remediation. The California Community College System Office is addressing this influx into its colleges with the Basic Skills Initiative which provides resources for colleges to support the under-prepared population. The purpose of this study was to determine what community college faculty think about the growing population of under-prepared students, how they are addressing these students in their classroom, and how they feel their institution is doing to support this population. The study further investigated differences of opinion between basic skills faculty and non-basic skills faculty. Study participants were full-time instructional faculty who participated in focus groups and a written survey which explored faculty awareness and perceptions of under-prepared students, current classroom practices addressing the under-prepared population, and recommendations for improvement. The response rate of 71% for the survey results paints a fairly accurate picture of the community college classroom as it pertains to under-prepared students at American River College. The results portray community college faculty as a flexible group doing their best to accommodate under-prepared students entering their classroom. Virtually all faculty recognize the under-prepared students in their classroom and most stated up to 50% of the students in transfer level classes are academically under-prepared. Many faculty have adjusted their course requirements to address issues associated with under-prepared students. Faculty believe the institution could be doing a better job to support their work with under-prepared students and a more focused effort is needed to ensure the success of under-prepared students at the institution. Most faculty believe the reason for the growth in under-prepared students is due to student motivation rather than the student's background or available resources. Although current practices in the classroom truly demonstrate progress with academically under-prepared students, they reveal additional work is necessary before all students, regardless of their level of preparation, can achieve success at the community college.

Book excerpt: John S. Levin, Susan T. Kater, and Richard L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faculty involvement in institutional governance has come to represent the norm within higher educational institutions. Community college faculty members' role in institutional governance has not been the major focus for studies. Currently, faculty members from Liberal Arts (LAC) programs represent about 70 percent of the faculty in California community colleges; they also represent the largest percentage (88) of academic senate presidents. By comparison, approximately 30 percent of Career and Technical Education (CTE) faculty represent only 12 percent of the academic senate presidents in 2012. This study identified and explored the differences between LAC and CTE faculty perceptions of their values and roles regarding their involvement in the academic senate and shared governance process at their institutions. In addition, the study also identified and explored the notable differences and similarities between LAC and CTE disciplined full-time faculty member's perceptions of incentives and disincentives regarding running for Academic Senate president. The qualitative research design was used to interview and study Liberal Arts (LAC) and Career Technical Education (CTE) full-time tenured and tenured-track California community college faculty members at two community colleges located in one Southern California college district. The researcher discovered that the majority of the CTE participants did not feel as though the academic senate or college valued their discipline or discipline expertise. In stark contrast, the majority of LAC participants did believe that the academic senate and college valued their discipline and discipline expertise. The study identified that LAC and CTE participants share more similarities when it comes to the identification and perception of disincentives. Although LAC and CTE participants identified the same incentives, they had differing perceptions of the exact meaning or motivation behind them. More research is needed in this area of study if community colleges want to continue to have faculty from all representative disciplines participate in shared governance at their colleges. If these areas are not thoroughly explored, there will be a continued lack of participation from faculty, especially CTE faculty.
