Emerging Trends In College Teaching For The 21st Century, Milton D. Cox
Emerging Trends In College Teaching For The 21st Century, Milton D. Cox
Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives
After national calls for the reform of undergraduate education were made a decade ago, students, parents, and legislators began to apply pressure to reestablish the importance of student learning. More recently, central administrators have begun to change reward structures. University-wide community is beginning to be built around teaching. New disciplinary journals that publish the scholarship of teaching are being started, and established ones are gaining respect. National teaching conferences and journals that provide a forum for the scholarship of teaching are expanding. With these emerging opportunities, faculty are going public about their interest in teaching and learning. Over the last …
Mentorship In The Classroom: Making The Implicit Explicit, Deanna Martin, Robert Blanc, David Arendale
Mentorship In The Classroom: Making The Implicit Explicit, Deanna Martin, Robert Blanc, David Arendale
Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives
The "under-prepared student" once something of an oddity on American campuses, now seems omnipresent. And not only in undergraduate institutions, not only in America. The government of Great Britain ordered a 25% increase in university enrollment. Black South Africans will occupy a majority of the places in previously white and apartheid universities. The Association of American Medical College will triple minority representation in medical schools in their 3000 x 2000 campaign, drawing heavily on the urban areas that have been on the receiving end of the wrenching body blows of poverty, unemployment, and despair, the areas that have provided many …
Theory And Practice On Preparing Human Resource Development Professionals, John A. Henschke Edd
Theory And Practice On Preparing Human Resource Development Professionals, John A. Henschke Edd
IACE Hall of Fame Repository
Theory and practice in college and university academic programs preparing Human Resource Development (HRD) Professional Practitioners have seldom been addressed in the same places or times. This paper clarifies the terms, theory, practice, academic program, learning, learning organization; traces some history of the issues; provides a case illustration of how an HRD professional prepared in a program advocating a supportive connection between theory and practice, modeled that in his own professional career and developed support within the university setting.
Developing A Mentoring Program Improvement Evaluation Model, John A. Henschke Edd
Developing A Mentoring Program Improvement Evaluation Model, John A. Henschke Edd
IACE Hall of Fame Repository
Formal adult teacher model mentoring programs tend to have a predictable set of elements: policies, mentor selection procedures, mentor training activities, mentor role expectations, mentor-adult teacher matching, and secondary development relationships. Mentoring is an individualized, long-term, teaching/learning relationship between two people used to accomplish a variety of purposes. Yet, little evaluation has been conducted to determine its results, or the effectiveness of the current process, with an eye to making program improvements. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to: develop a program improvement model for an adult teacher mentoring program; apply the model to a formal adult teacher …

Helping First-Year Students Study: Part Ii, Better Lasere Erickson
Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives
Few freshmen can keep pace with their courses if they study only an hour between classes and if their only study activities are reading, highlighting, and copying over notes. Faculty expect more, and those who teach freshmen play an important role both in making expectations about college work explicit and in helping freshmen develop their study skills. What, then, might we do to get students to spend more time studying and to study in more productive ways?
Using Storybooks To Acquaint Children With The Continent Of Africa, Mary J. Lickteig, Kathy Everts Danielson
Using Storybooks To Acquaint Children With The Continent Of Africa, Mary J. Lickteig, Kathy Everts Danielson
Teacher Education Faculty Publications
I learned so much about Africa. I learned countries, cities, villages, mountains, deserts, rivers, languages. Have you ever been to Africa? I wish I could go.
This comment, by a third-grade student, was typical of the responses from students who participated in a project designed to help children learn about Africa by offering them books with African settings. In this article, we share the methods we used to acquaint students with the continent of Africa. We have also included students' responses to a questionnaire, information gathered by an observer, and quotes from students' letters.

Use Children's Books To Link The Cultures Of The World, Mary J. Lickteig, Kathy Everts Danielson

Global education is a timely and important emphasis in schools today. In this article, we consider the goals of global education, present a rationale for providing global education experiences at the age children are most responsive to instruction, explore the ways that children's trade books can provide links among cultures, and consider goals of geography and ways trade books can be used to meet these goals.
In The Name Of The Student... What Is Fairness In College Teaching?, Rita Rodabaugh
In The Name Of The Student... What Is Fairness In College Teaching?, Rita Rodabaugh
Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives
If we remember our own college days, most of us can think of at least one professor who was less than ideal. All of us have had professors who fit one or more of the following descriptions: dull, boring lecturer; confusing and hard to follow; too easy and presents no challenge; and so on. Yet if you describe your worst experience as a student, more than likely it was one in which you were treated unfairly.
For the past two years, much of my research has focused on college students' perceptions of fair practices in the classroom. From this research, …
Mistakes And Other Classroom Techniques, Harriet C. Edwards
Mistakes And Other Classroom Techniques, Harriet C. Edwards
Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives
As teachers, we wish to do more than present to our students the established ideas and facts of our fields. We want to give them a sense of how one thinks and creates within the discipline, to impart the tools of scholarship. In my field, mathematics, this concern has led to an increased focus on the teaching and learning of problem solving. Researchers have directed much attention to the executive functions and metacognition involved in problem solving, that is, the solver's awareness of thinking processes and of progress toward a solution (Schoenfeld, 1985). In addition to these procedural matters, attitudes …

In preparing to write Teaching College Freshmen, we heard negative sentiments echoed many times. Faculty complained about students' lack of motivation, their neglect of their studies, and their refusal to assume any responsibility for their learning. At the same time, freshmen told us the pace in most courses was far beyond them, it was not humanly possible to do all the work, they frequently felt overwhelmed, and their professors seemed neither to notice nor to care whether or not they learned.
What sense are we to make of these conflicting stories? For starters, freshman descriptions of "humanly impossible" work loads …
