Helping Teachers Become Better Teachers, Robert C. Dick

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the challenges of improving teaching effectiveness in higher education, with particular focus on communication faculty. It argues that universities often undervalue teaching compared to research and service, resulting in limited recognition and rewards for instructional excellence. Contributing factors to poor teaching include reliance on outdated materials, burnout, limited interest in assigned courses, and pressures from tenure and promotion systems that prioritize publication. The discussion reviews methods of evaluating teaching, including peer review, student ratings, and departmental oversight, emphasizing the need for balanced and constructive feedback. It highlights the role of faculty development centers, workshops, and instructional grants …

Governance is described as occurring within a complex web of relationships among faculty, chairs, deans, and central administrators, often divided into opposing “teams” that foster distrust and hinder cooperation. Key barriers identified include the diversity of purposes among faculty and administrators, declining trust that leads to cumbersome checks and balances, and the increasing intrusion of external agencies into institutional decision making. Despite these obstacles, the discussion argues that campuses function best when decision making is inclusive and transparent. The dean’s …
