Section I: People And Priorities: Reflections On Our Work, 1982

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Learning takes place at several levels-in the individual, in groups, in organizations and in the larger society. It is amazing how much of our efforts in the past have focused exclusively on individual learning. It may be that we are learning slowly as a society, and our institutions seldom seem to develop much beyond their initial geniuses. But as a group, those of us engaged in faculty, staff and organizational development in higher education have aimed at being more reflective and intentional about our learning.

Section Iii: Evaluating Practices To Improve Teaching, 1982

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

No one gets out of graduate school without learning that the proper emphasis in "critical thinking" is on the word critical: if you don't think otherwise, you must not be thinking. Not surprising, then, is it that we are regularly, inevitably asked "What is the evaluation?" "Does it work?" "What is the effect?" "Yes, but compared to what?" "What is the level of significance? Surely at least the .05 level!"

Section Iv: Tools For Training And Development, 1982

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Here is where the rubber hits the road. The materials that follow are attempts to translate theory into practice. Much of what we read (and do) for training our colleagues to be more effective teachers is rough and untidy. It often seems simplistic. But that is the state of the art - and it will always be so to some degree. In the classroom, in the faculty lounge and at the sylvan retreats where workshops are held, we must finally decide what to do on Monday.

Higher Education Administrators' Knowledge Of Section 504, Laura Montgomery Bundy

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge of administrators in higher education relative to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Particular emphasis was placed on the population of individuals labeled handicapped because of a learning disability. Given the number of students who receive federal aid and the wording of subsections 84.3(f) and 84.3(h) of the Federal Register of May 4, 1977, it is probable that all American postsecondary educational institutions are required to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It appears that one of the populations to be served is that …

Role Expectations Of Presidents As Perceived By Presidents, Board Of Trustees, And Faculty: A Study Of Private Institutions Of Higher Education In West Java, Indonesia, Richards A. Hutagaol

The Role And Responsibilities Of Andrews University Trustees As Perceived By Themselves, David H. Bauer

Dissertations

Problem. The university board of trustees is the single most important group of the university to guide an institution in fulfilling its goals and objectives. While it may seem that trustees have a grasp of their responsibilities to the institution they serve, it appears that many do not.

This study surveys all who have ever served as trustees of Andrews University in order to: (1) indentify characteristics of trustees; (2) determine how trustees of Andrews University perceive/perceived their role as trustee in relationship to the twelve trustee responsibilities as listed by John Nason; (3) compare theresponses of church administrators with …
