The Influences of Faculty on Undergraduate Student Participation in Research and Creative Activities
Using data collected from surveys of college juniors and seniors and faculty members in related academic departments, this
study examined whether faculty teaching and research orientations, as well as faculty external funding, had any impact on
undergraduate student participation in research and creative activities. The results of the study indicated that faculty research
orientation and external funding were indeed positively related to student participation in research activities. However,
faculty members’ teaching orientation was not significant. Further analyses indicated that faculty teaching and research orientations
had different impacts on a range of research and creative activities by undergraduate students. The findings from this study
provide insight on ways of improving college teaching and learning as well as informing the development of institutional academic
policies related to faculty and undergraduate education.

Engaging Undergraduate Students in Research Activities: Are Research Universities Doing a Better Job? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Engaging undergraduate students in research activities has been advocated as an innovative strategy to improve American higher
education (Boyer Commission, Reinventing undergraduate education: A blueprint for America’s research universities. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Stony Brook, NY, 1998). This study compared the frequency of undergraduate
student research experiences at different types of colleges and universities from the early 1990s through 2004. The results
indicate that the frequency of student research experiences increased since 1998 at all types of institutions and that students
at research universities were not more likely than their counterparts elsewhere to have such experiences. The findings were
consistent across major fields. To live up to their claims, research universities must find additional ways to involve undergraduates
in research with faculty members.

Student complaints to legislators led to 20 states mandating higher educational institutions develop policy on oral English language proficiency of instructors. These mandates directed public institutions to certify oral English language proficiency of international teaching assistants. Universities responded to these mandates by developing policy requiring formal evaluation of international teaching assistants and provision for remediation of those whose skills were deficient. Demographic factors which led to these mandates are number of non-resident aliens and number of students in higher education institutions in the state. Institutional factors leading to policy were graduate enrollment and degree granting status of institutions.Clayton F. Thomas obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa.

In this article we address the implementation of sustainable technological change among the faculty, staff, and students in
the College of Education and Human Services at a mid-western urban institution. We examine cultural factors common to institutions
of higher education and then describe particular planning and implementation processes employed at one institution to move
faculty and staff from a state of minimal technology use to one of substantial technological competence over a period of years.
The process turns out to be robust and stable despite growth over time. We conclude with recommendations for other educational
institutions facing similar needs for cultural change in the use of technology.

Using data from the College Student Experience Questionnaire research program between 1998 and 2004, this study examined the effects of student engagement in inquiry-oriented activities
on a range of self-reported college outcomes. The results indicate that (1) engaging in inquiry-oriented activities has significant
and positive effects on a global measure of gains; (2) engagement has positive effects on some college outcomes but negative
effects on others; (3) the effects of inquiry-oriented activities are conditional, with some students benefiting more than
others. This study reveals the complexity of the influences of inquiry-oriented activities on college students and points
to implications for institutional policies and programs that may be effective in fostering desired college outcomes.

Accountability is an important focus for nearly all-public higher education institutions. In 1997 the Washington State Legislature
mandated an accountability measure designed to encourage public universities to increase student efficiency toward graduation.
This accountability measure is assessed by a formula called the Graduation Efficiency Index. This qualitative study details
the Graduation Efficiency Index's conception and ramifications for public higher education institutions. It further examines
university administrators' perceptions of the Graduation Efficiency Index and transfer students' impact on the ability of
three public institutions to meet mandated accountability goals. We include implications for practice.

The authors investigated student and faculty perceptions of academic challenge at their institution, based on early administrations of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). This analysis revealed that the NSSE did not fully capture many meanings of academic challenge held by these faculty and students. This study led to a proposal for the development of an internal assessment approach using a modification of the NSSE and other scale items on academic challenge and student engagement. The authors discuss several implications of this study for academic scholarship and for institutional policy concerning the assessment of academic challenge.All authors except Jim Purcell are at Georgia College and State University.

Faculty, staff, and student perceptions of high-quality learning experiences were explored using focus groups attempting to
define a “learning-centered” college. Common themes emerged suggesting that a successful learning community requires faculty-student
collaboration, effective communication, critical thinking skills, reciprocal respect, faculty passion for learning, high expectations
of both students and faculty, a variety of teaching and assessment strategies, and student engagement in and responsibility
for learning. All groups stressed the need for learning opportunities outside the classroom in both intellectual and social
situations. These themes provide a conceptual framework for future campus initiatives, which has broad relevance for other
institutions.

Scholarly work on organizational change within colleges and universities is relatively unknown among campus administrators and policy makers. To counter that low visibility, this essay reviews existing theories and research evidence on the topic. The goal is to provide some general guidelines for those who seek to refine purposes, develop programs, and improve effectiveness and efficiency on their campuses.James C.

This study involved an analysis of faculty trust in a large southwestern institution. After reviewing the literature, we identified
a valid and reliable instrument, the Higher Education Faculty Trust Inventory, to measure higher education faculty trust in
administrators, colleagues, and students. We then used this instrument to gauge various aspects of faculty trust, and we found
significant trust differences among professors of varying academic ranks (i.e., adjunct, assistant, associate, and full professor).
We found, however, no significant trust differences in regard to race. Finally, we discuss the findings within a context of
implications for future research and practice in higher education.

The original mission of the state and land-grant university was to engage with communities to solve problems and improve the quality of life for the citizenry. Today most state and land-grant universities have moved far away from their original mission and are struggling to become engaged with the communities they serve. In this case study, we highlight some of the steady progress toward engagement that has recently occurred at The Pennsylvania State University. We catalogue how strong vision and leadership; infrastructure reorganization; and the active involvement of faculty, students, and community partners have revitalized the land-grant mission at Penn State.

Multicultural education has transformed higher education both in terms of research and in terms of student experiences. Given
the complexity of our institutions, the overall effects of these transformations are mixed. Building on the successes and
strengths of multicultural education as it is currently incorporated in institutions and programs will involve better understanding
how it is perceived, positively and negatively, by those who are experiencing it first hand. In this article we seek to contribute
to this reflection through a discussion of a survey of students’ perceptions of multiculturalism in a large first-year program
in a research university.

In an information-processing organization, it is essential that lines of communications stay open and fluid, and that can best be accomplished through cooperative teamwork. In science, when graphite is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it is converted into a diamond. When pressure is applied to a collegiate bureaucracy through retraining key personnel, it can be transformed into a team promoting unity and interaction. Strategies for developing teams are discussed.Mark D.

As demands for accountability continue and increase, higher education administrators require tools for evaluating campus programs. Learning communities, as a course design strategy, have proven successful in confronting challenges associated with attrition and retention. Because high attrition is associated with online distance education, learning community principles might be applicable to online courses. The authors surveyed attendees at a learning communities conference to determine the applicability of learning community principles to Internet learning and assessment. On the basis of their findings, they developed a rudimentary diagnostic tool for ascertaining whether online course design takes learning community principles into account.David DiRamio is Assistant Professor of Higher Education Leadership at Auburn University.

Fitting the Mold of Graduate School: A Qualitative Study of Socialization in Doctoral Education 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
Susan K. Gardner 《Innovative Higher Education》2008,33(2):125-138
Doctoral student attrition in the United States has reached alarming proportions, with reported rates of approximately 50%
across disciplines (Nettles and Millett 2006). Attrition rates of underrepresented populations have been reported at higher
rates across disciplines (Council of Graduate Schools 2004), pointing to a disparate experience for these students. Socialization
has been shown to be a determining factor in doctoral student success and retention (Turner and Thompson 1993) while not necessarily
reflecting how the socialization experience differs by disciplinary and institutional contexts. Through this qualitative study
I sought to understand the effects of the socialization process upon doctoral student success and retention in the disciplines
of chemistry and history at two institutions. Results highlighted a disparate experience for women, students of color, students
with families, part-time students, and older students. Suggestions for policy, practice, and further research are included.

Using a case study approach, the authors examine the democratic and civic engagement learning outcomes of a campus protest.
The conceptual framework is built on the ideas outlined in Learning Reconsidered (Keeling 2004) and modeled in its pragmatic follow-up, Learning Reconsidered 2 (Keeling 2006). Results suggest student and campus administrator actions during a campus protest support democratic aims, student development,
and digital age democracy. Recommendations for campus educators are included. This study extends previous discussion on activism’s
journey from detrimental to developmental (Astin 1999; Chambers & Phelps 1993; Hamrick 1998; Hunter 1988) by mapping the learning environment through the interaction of protestor and university and by incorporating new forms of
activism.

This ethnographic study of a third grade classroom examined elementary school science learning as a sociocultural accomplishment.
The research focused on how a teacher helped his students acquire psychological tools for learning to think and engage in
scientific practices as locally defined. Analyses of classroom discourse examined both how the teacher used mediational strategies
to frame disciplinary knowledge in science as well as how students internalized and appropriated ways of knowing in science.
The study documented and analyzed how students came to appropriate scientific knowledge as their own in an ongoing manner
tied to their identities as student scientists. Implications for sociocultural theory in science education research are discussed.

The ability to teach one’s self is a critical skill for workers in the 21st century because of the rapidity of change and
innovation. To educate students to meet this challenge, we need to re-envision curriculum with the goal of producing graduates
who have the ability to complete the transition from novice to expert after graduation and continue to deepen their expertise
throughout their careers. Using engineering education as a model of current efforts in curricular revision, we present a method
for curricular review based on learning types in order to design an undergraduate experience that is transformative and congruent
with a learner-centered approach.
