This book was released on 2014 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative case study examined the perceived benefits of academic assessment as seen by community college faculty members. This study further aimed to identify what methods of assessment faculty perceive as valuable in evaluating student learning and how faculty utilize assessment results to modify academic programming. Lastly, this study sought strategies that may facilitate the construction of a sustainable culture of evidence and learning by focusing on the benefits of assessment. The researcher selected ten faculty members employed at the organization to participate in the interview process. Participants were limited to full-time faculty members with at least five years teaching experience in adult and higher education. During data analysis, six emergent themes developed as follows: (1) assessment as a multi-level process, (2) alignment beginning at the course level, (3) reciprocal relationship between teaching and learning, (4) assessments of higher order thinking, (5) data usability, and (6) administration-faculty disconnect leading to a culture of compliance. While faculty in this study found assessment to be beneficial to improving teaching and learning, faculty also noted several specific challenges they perceived to be barriers in creating a sustainable culture of assessment at the organization. Strategies for building the organizational culture were outlined and recommendations for future research were made.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faculty professional development is an essential component in the fabric of community colleges. Nationwide research studies indicate that students who begin their post-secondary studies underprepared and enrolled in developmental education are less likely to complete a college degree. Developmental education has been under reform for the past few years with the goal of accelerating students' success and transitioning them into college-level courses. Given the present state of reform, more research is needed on faculty preparation in teaching developmental education, specifically on the role of professional development in preparing faculty in developmental education. Faculty in developmental education are central to the success of students completing a degree or certificate. During this current state of reform in developmental education, professional development represents a probable solution to preparing faculty to provide condensed versions of developmental education course models. This research study examined perceptions of community college faculty in developmental education on professional development. This study utilized a qualitative case study design with the use of focus groups, semi-structured interviews, and surveys. The findings were (a) the majority of participants reported that sharing with other faculty members was beneficial and perceived the sharing of practice with like-minded individuals as a professional development activity, (b) participants' primary challenges to participating in professional development were limited funding and time away from classroom, and (c) participants expressed apprehension regarding the state of reform in developmental education. Insights from faculty on needs, challenges, and perceptions may enhance the effectiveness, timeliness, and quality of faculty development programs.

Download or read book Faculty Perceptions of an Urban Community College Faculty Learning Community written by Carolyn Evette Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Community colleges are open access institutions offering a wide array of courses to a diverse group of students. The classrooms are complex due to the nature of open access, where student readiness for a college classroom varies, significant diversity, and a wide range of educational goals. Faculty development is essential for instructors to develop, improve and hone their teaching practice in order to effectively support the success of their students in these complex classrooms. This qualitative research study centers around a faculty learning community, at an Urban Community College (UCC), focused on improving student success. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of UCC faculty about the FLC. The research question sought to uncover how these perceptions influenced faculty's participation in this faculty development program. Work motivation theory was used to analyze the findings from this study. Themes which emerged from the analysis of the findings indicate that instructors who voluntarily participate in faculty development are motivated by professionalism and passion. However, these individuals develop their skills primarily through informal activities including trial and error and learning from and with their colleagues. Whether informal or formal, instructors will participate in faculty learning communities based on their perceptions about who is involved and the extent to which they trust and respect these individuals. Further, the combination of a strong campus community, positive personal relationships between faculty, strategic utilization of perks and incentives, and a compelling programmatic focus can improve participation in formal faculty learning communities."--Abstract, p. 1.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Inclusive Development for Remote Adjunct Faculty in Higher Education written by Dailey-Hebert, Amber and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the number of adjunct faculty teaching online courses remotely for their institutions continues to increase, so do the unique challenges they face, including issues of distance and isolation as well as problems pertaining to motivation, time, and compensation. Not only are these higher education faculty geographically isolated from each other and their colleagues at flagship campuses, but they also lack adequate institutional support and resources necessary to perform their roles. As institutions continue to rely heavily on this group of under-supported and undertrained instructors who teach the majority of online courses offered across the country, institutions need models and strategies to tap the expertise and perspectives of this group not only to improve teaching and learning in online programs but also to retain this critical talent pool. More consideration is needed to create institutional affinity and organizational commitment, build community, and create opportunities for remote adjunct faculty to be included as an integral component to their academic departments. The Handbook of Research on Inclusive Development for Remote Adjunct Faculty in Higher Education is a comprehensive reference work that presents research, theoretical frameworks, instructor perspectives, and program models that highlight effective strategies, innovative approaches, and unique considerations for creating professional development opportunities for remote adjunct faculty teaching online. This book provides concrete practices that foster inclusivity among contingent faculty teaching online as well as tangible practices that have been successfully implemented from faculty developers and academic leaders at institutions who have a large population of, and heavy reliance on, remote adjunct instructors. While addressing topics that include faculty engagement, mentoring programs, and instructor resources, this book intends to support remote instructors in the post-pandemic world. It is also beneficial for faculty development professionals; academic administrative leaders; higher education stakeholders; and higher education faculty, researchers, and students.

Download or read book Scientific Teaching written by Jo Handelsman and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasoned classroom veterans, pre-tenured faculty, and neophyte teaching assistants alike will find this book invaluable. HHMI Professor Jo Handelsman and her colleagues at the Wisconsin Program for Scientific Teaching (WPST) have distilled key findings from education, learning, and cognitive psychology and translated them into six chapters of digestible research points and practical classroom examples. The recommendations have been tried and tested in the National Academies Summer Institute on Undergraduate Education in Biology and through the WPST. Scientific Teaching is not a prescription for better teaching. Rather, it encourages the reader to approach teaching in a way that captures the spirit and rigor of scientific research and to contribute to transforming how students learn science.
