Assessment As A Scholarship Of Teaching, Judith K. Litterst, Paula Tompkins

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the position of academic institutions on the need for continued commitment to assessment and at the same time deals with strong faculty sentiment on the subject. The article proposes to re-conceptualize assessment activity as a scholarly process whose products make a contribution to the broader conversation about teaching and learning in higher education. In making a case for this rightful elevation of assessment activity by members of the academy, it will first show that assessment is not service, but scholarship. Second, it will discuss assessment as a legitimate form of research that meets both the definition and …

Hostile Work Environment: What Communication Administrators And Educators Can Learn From Communication-Based Law, Craig Newburger

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the university sexual harassment policies which guides communication administrators in reacting to and managing both student and faculty sexual harassment-based allegations. The body of sexual harassment-based law, created and disseminated by persons who are not communication administrators or educators, focuses directly on specific human communication behaviors and assigns criteria for evaluating the relative lawfulness of the behaviors. The article intends to underscore the variety of heuristic possibilities offered by inquiry into communication-based laws, for both communication administrators and educators.

Unique Characteristics Of A Graduate Program In Applied Communication, Stuart M. Schrader, Kim White Mills, Robert Dick

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This paper addresses one Communication Department's sojourn in designing, developing, and proposing a unique Master of Arts in Applied Communication. Our discipline has long acknowledged the importance of applied communication scholarship and the marketplace has frequently confirmed the importance of providing applied communication knowledge to produce employees who are competent communicators. We are, however, still without terminal graduate programs that are rooted in the foundation of applied communication. Our department's program is reflexively framing its program using applied communication assumptions.

Computer-Assisted Evaluation Of Speaking Competencies In The Basic Speech Course, Chris R. Sawyer, Ralph R. Behnke

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the computer-assisted evaluation of speaking competencies in the basic speech course. Whenever a college-level course utilizes a number of instructors and sections, administrators responsible for ensuring the quality of that course become increasingly concerned about issues of equivalency or the extent to which students in the various sections of the course are receiving essentially the same educational experience. educators have recommended the use of student portfolios in courses featuring public speaking. In this instructional strategy, a student's work during a course is compiled and reviewed periodically throughout the academic term. This improvements will dramatically enhance record keeping …

Scholarship Unbound: Assessing Service As Scholarship In Promotion And Tenure Decisions, Kerryann O’Meara

New England Resource Center for Higher Education Publications

Scholars of higher education have long recognized that existing reward systems and structures in academic communities do not weight faculty professional service as they do teaching and research. This paper examines how four colleges and universities with exemplary programs for assessing service as scholarship implemented these policies within colleges of education. Case studies suggest that policies to assess service as scholarship can increase consistency among an institution’s service mission, faculty workload, and reward system; expand faculty’s views of scholarship; boost faculty satisfaction; and strengthen the quality of an institution’s service culture.

An Examination Of The Sabbatical Year In Leviticus 25 And Its Implications For Academic Practice, Thomas G. Endres

Finally, connections between the two forms of sabbatical is analyzed, with conclusions drawn about the role the Leviticus sabbatical can play in the understanding and execution of academic leave. While the purpose of the academic sabbatical year is quite different, academicians can learn from the lessons of Leviticus, and approach their leaves of absence with a more …

Administrative Strategies For Successful Adoption Of Computer Technology, Aitken E. Joan, Leonard J. Shedletsky

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

The article offers strategies that university administrators may use for successful adoption of computer technology. A 1998 survey showed that two thirds of colleges failed to strategically plan their technological implementation. Administrators will want to seriously participate in strategic planning so that technology fits with other goals and expectations in the college or university. Technology use can be overwhelming, so both students and faculty need strong support for using technology. When equipment or connections fail in the middle of a class session, faculty need backup systems and support staff who can solve the technical problems. For success, administrators will want …

The implications of these findings, in terms of sex-based differences in publication patterns, are considerable. Research has become increasingly important in promotion and tenure …
