Part Ii Fostering Student Inquiry

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The world has no shortage of reform advocates exhorting teachers to promote "active student involvement in learning." Most teachers would love to have active, involved students. But student reticence in class is notorious and figuring out how to overcome it (or bypass it altogether) is a nontrivial task. The two articles in this section suggest very different approaches to the task.

Part Iii Academic Life: Realities And Possibilities

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The first two articles in this section report results of intensive interview studies with dozens of faculty. Hageseth and Atkins note connections between the institutional context and the quality of faculty life. Sorcinelli documents the joys and frustrations of new faculty, and describes programs at her institution to support faculty during their first few years on campus.

Evaluating Structured Group Activities For The Large Class, John Stevenson

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

I teach a 500-student introductory course in a large lecture hall with a microphone and an overhead projector. For many students this is a first semester course; often it is taken to fulfill a requirement although there is usually some interest in the subject matter (psychology). I am not a particularly charismatic speaker. From the back of the classroom I look antsize, and my voice rattles, disembodied, from the loudspeakers. Despite this, I want to use class time effectively to give students not only exposure to concepts but practice in using them. I believe memorized factual material will be of …
