Part Iv: Research
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Balanced somewhere between thinking and doing is the need for verification by experimentation. We should never move too far away from the spirit of inquiry which drives us to examine the fundamental assumptions of our professions. If our elegant models and programs have no grounding in reality, they will fail us in practice. Therefore, we include a section on research efforts and encourage others to share their findings with our readers.
A Survey Of Faculty Development Practices, Glenn Erickson
A Survey Of Faculty Development Practices, Glenn Erickson
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
The POD Network decided to conduct a survey of faculty development practices for several reasons. First, many people believed that the "faculty development movement" was a casualty of tight budgets and an inevitable loss of faith in yesterday's strategies; some of us had our doubts. Also, we were curious about just what kinds of services were being offered by whom in our colleges and universities and whether things had changed dramatically in the years since Centra's survey (Centra, 1976). Finally, we had never had a decent mailing list of "development" practitioners, yet we claimed to be committed to putting such …
Part Ii: Conceptualizations
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Part of the process of learning involves the making of models to guide action. A good model explains what has happened, communicates what is happening, and predicts what will happen. It serves as a schema for thinking about the world and how we interact with it. This can be freeing because a useful model points to new directions which are logical outgrowths of the current situation, but it can also be restricting if we come to believe that the model represents "truth" in capital letters and neon lights.

Part I: Reflections
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
In virtually all theories of cognitive development, the higher levels include a capacity to engage in some form of metacognition, the ability to think about thinking, to reflect on actions, to come to some understanding of the reasons for being and doing. From these reflections come learning and further development.
