POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

I know that each Executive Director of POD has felt a surge of excitement at the prospects of managing the affairs of the Network for a year. And each would describe the complex bundle of that sensation in a distinctly personal way. For me, the excitement has to do with three clear themes.

Differing Student And Faculty Perceptions Of Teaching Effectiveness And The Value Of Student Evaluations, George E. Stevens, R. Penny Marquette

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

Over the past decade, the use of student evaluations of teacher effectiveness has grown in popularity. The student typically completes a standardized evaluation form for the teachers of classes in which he or she is enrolled. Not only are more schools using this method of assessing teacher effectiveness, many also use the results to make faculty retention, promotion, salary, tenure and other personnel decisions. As Centra (1972) indicates, the question is no longer whether college teaching should be evaluated; it is how, when and by whom? Although various approaches to measuring teaching effectiveness exist (i.e., peer ratings, superior ratings, classroom …

Conference Demographics And Evaluation Summary, Glenn F. Nyre

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

Thirty-four states, the District of Columbia and Canada were represented at POD's Fifth Annual Conference at Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. This introductory sentence should sound vaguely familiar to many of the Quarterly's readers, since it is numerically the same as last years' opening summary report statement. Tennessee and Canada, with 13 participants each, wrested top honors from last year's winner, Texas, which fell from 16 to 9 participants. Other double-digit states were Ohio and Virginia, with 11 each, and California and Illinois, with 10 each.

A Survey Of The Work-Study Programs In The State Universities Of Kentucky, Glen Knight

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study was undertaken to determine the status of the work-study programs in the eight state universities of Kentucky. A review of the literature indicated that little research had been conducted in the area of work-study administration, and thus this study was performed to increase the knowledge in this area. A questionnaire was developed to survey the work study program at the eight universities concerning the following three areas: organization and administration, evaluation procedures, and professional preparation. A high degree of centralization was indicated at all of the universities in regard to their student work programs, and administrative policy was …
