Helping Teachers Become Better Teachers, Robert C. Dick Oct 1987

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 Contributing factors to poor teaching include reliance on outdated materials, burnout, limited interest in assigned courses, and pressures from tenure and promotion systems that prioritize publication.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 …

The Communication Arts And Sciences: Together Again? Well, It All Depends, J. Robert Wills Aug 1987

The Communication Arts And Sciences: Together Again? Well, It All Depends, J. Robert Wills

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers the administrative organization of communication arts and sciences in higher education, noting that approaches vary widely across campuses. It emphasizes that no single model is universally correct; rather, structures should be shaped by institutional mission, levels of specialization, program size, and campus culture. Examples illustrate that theatre, for instance, may be housed in English, communication, fine arts, or as a stand-alone program, with each arrangement carrying historical precedent and local justification. The discussion argues against imposing a national norm, urging instead that institutions regularly examine their organizational choices. While structure can influence outcomes, program excellence depends more …

To What Extent Should Instructors Be Held Accountable For Students' Value-Added Skills?, Jack Douglas Apr 1987

To What Extent Should Instructors Be Held Accountable For Students' Value-Added Skills?, Jack Douglas

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the applicability of the value-added model of learning to speech communication education and the degree to which instructors should be held accountable for students’ growth. Douglas critiques the model’s economic and industrial origins, which frame students as products and teachers as assembly-line workers. While the model provides clarity through measurable objectives and feedback mechanisms, it risks narrowing learning to easily quantifiable skills at the expense of creativity, individuality, and higher-order symbolic development. The paper argues that the model can be useful for assessing basic, observable skills, but is inadequate for capturing the organic, non-linear nature of human …

Modeling Institutional Production Of Higher Education, Robert C. Dolan, Robert M. Schmidt Jan 1987

Modeling Institutional Production Of Higher Education, Robert C. Dolan, Robert M. Schmidt

Robins School of Business White Paper Series, 1980-2022

This study examines the input-output relationship for private undergraduate education. The objective s to identify the relative contributions of human and physical resources in the production of quality undergraduate education. The research methods are noteworthy in three general respects. First, the theoretical orientation emphasized interdependence among inputs and outputs in higher education. The significance of simultaneity is demonstrated in an empirical model estimated via a three-stage least-squares technique. Second, the study introduces an original and promising data set for research in higher educational production. Of special note is an index of output reflecting the quantity and quality of institutional production. …

Student Approaches to Learning and Studying consists of a Research Monograph which describes the investigations leading to the theory's formulation; LPQ Manual which gives data on reliability and validityand describes a 36 …


A Second Chance: Meeting The Needs Of Adult Learners, Elizabeth F. Fideler Jan 1987

A Second Chance: Meeting The Needs Of Adult Learners, Elizabeth F. Fideler

New England Journal of Public Policy

Changing demographics and economic factors are focusing national attention on adult learning as a major resource for solving many of the nation 's social and economic dilemmas. However, adult learners, the poor especially, face obstacles to educational advancement even where tuition is waived or incentive grants are given. Despite the considerable recent growth of adult education, the vast number of those who need it the most are not as yet participating. This article examines adult-education practices and participation in general — in the areas of literacy, occupational education, and higher learning — and conditions in Massachusetts in particular. It explains …

The Piper, The Animals, And The Hustler, Patti P. Gillespie Jan 1987

The Piper, The Animals, And The Hustler, Patti P. Gillespie

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes the economic and ideological transformations confronting higher education during the Reagan era and their implications for academic independence. It identifies three interrelated developments: the increasing dependence of universities on corporate funding, the widening salary disparities among faculty, and the evolution of the department chair into a fund-raising administrator. The discussion warns that emerging partnerships between universities, government, and private industry threaten to form a “military-industrial-educational complex,” compromising scholarly autonomy and reshaping curricula toward corporate priorities. Faculty marketization, driven by differential utility to corporate sponsors, is shown to exacerbate internal inequities and distort academic values. Finally, the paper …


The Rights Of Part-Time And Temporary Theatre Faculty, Joe Filippo Jan 1987

The Rights Of Part-Time And Temporary Theatre Faculty, Joe Filippo

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critically examines the working conditions and institutional treatment of part-time and temporary theatre faculty in higher education. Drawing on practical examples from departmental experience, the discussion identifies pervasive inequities in pay, benefits, job security, and professional recognition. It argues that adjunct instructors—often highly qualified and essential to departmental operations—are constrained by structural hierarchies that deny them access to institutional resources, decision-making privileges, and equitable workloads. The analysis highlights how such disparities perpetuate a two-tier faculty system, eroding morale and academic cohesion. Specific issues include inadequate office space, exclusion from faculty governance, limited access to secretarial or developmental support, …


A Prognosis For The Field Of Communication, Erwin P. Bettinghaus Jan 1987

A Prognosis For The Field Of Communication, Erwin P. Bettinghaus

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay presents an optimistic evaluation of the communication discipline, arguing that the field’s institutional growth, intellectual diversification, and expanding public visibility signal long-term vitality. Evidence of strength includes increased student enrollment across subfields, greater institutional funding, steady employment opportunities, growing recognition by industry and government, and a maturing research culture that has moved beyond foundational definitional debates. Nonetheless, the analysis identifies several risks: declining graduate student recruitment due to market competition, internal fragmentation following departmental reorganization, and ideological polarization between professional and theoretical approaches. The forecast anticipates continued growth driven by technological innovation, heightened demand for communication teachers, and …
