Educational Leadership and Policy Faculty Publications and Presentations

This book was prepared over a period of two years. Most of us have worked together previously as members of an advisory committee for “College Age Youth,” a W.K. Kellogg Foundation initiative to develop leadership abilities in college undergraduates at 31 institutions. That program demostrated that colleges and universities can provide highly effective environments for the development of future leaders (Zimmerman-Oster & Burkhardt, 1999). The idea of writing a book that could address the application of transformative leadership to higher education was first conceived in November 1997.

The Implementation Of Learning Strategies In The Design Of An On-Line Medical Course Supplement, Lee Ann Hill May 1999

The Implementation Of Learning Strategies In The Design Of An On-Line Medical Course Supplement, Lee Ann Hill

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Given the charge of integrating technology in the medical school curriculum, faculty members are faced with the challenge of designing new materials for their courses. Often, these materials become on-line resources such as hypermedia and electronic communication. Strategies may assist students who are unfamiliar with on-line materials to use such materials more effectively. This study investigated the elaborative interrogation strategy used in conjunction with on-line materials to promote more efficient processing of difficult material. Twenty second-year medical students volunteered to participate in the study. The course in which they were enrolled required the use of an on-line lecture supplement. The …

Place A La Litterature Dans Le Cours De Conversation!, Corinne Etienne, Sylvie Vanbaelen Mar 1999

Place A La Litterature Dans Le Cours De Conversation!, Corinne Etienne, Sylvie Vanbaelen

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Au niveau universitaire, la plupart des programmes de francais offrent un cours que l'on peut classer sous l'appellation generique de "cours de conversation" ("Conversational Skills", "French for Oral Communication, etc.). Si le but de ce cours est clair: ameliorer les competences communicatives orales des apprenants, son contenu est par contre tres ouvert. Dans ce type de cours, la "conversation" prend souvent appui sur l'exploitation de documents authentiques et permet ainsi aux apprenants d'approfondir leurs connaissances culturelles. Cette bipolarite: developpement des competences de communication orale et decouverte de la culture nous semble tout a fait appropriee. On peut cependant regretter l'absence …

Teachers' Concerns About Technology As A Classroom Innovation, Elizabeth Ann Stroh Jan 1999

Teachers' Concerns About Technology As A Classroom Innovation, Elizabeth Ann Stroh

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

American schools are rapidly introducing new technological tools to their staff members and students. Using both quantitative tools and qualitative strategies, the researcher undertook a case study at a small Midwestern school to determine whether teachers have concerns about technological innovations and if so, to specifically identify and measure teachers' levels of concerns about the introduction of computers to their classrooms. The quantitative data, collected from instruments developed by Concerns-Based Adoption Model theorists, revealed that teachers do have concerns about technology, and their concerns are most often centered in the self” domain. No matter how experienced the teachers were, they …
