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.

While there has been emphasis on the institution and individual classroom as loci of learning and reform, less attention has
been paid to the academic department. However, precisely because its structure is so endemic to institutions of higher education,
the academic department may be the most logical and potent site for change. Using a case study approach, this paper examines
the conditions under which change in undergraduate education takes hold and flourishes in the academic department, advances
the concept of readiness, and explores its implications for those who wish to promote change in the department.

This article reports on a key finding of a phenomenological study on the mentoring experiences of women faculty. The study revealed the political climate of the organization as an essential attribute of this experience. Women faculty identified organizational culture and gender issues that affected the mentoring they received. This study suggests the need for human resource and organization development initiatives to facilitate the provision of academic mentoring for women faculty—individually, departmentally, and culturally—as a means to foster transformation and change in academic institutions.Sharon K. Gibson is an Assistant Professor of organization learning and development at the University of St. Thomas. She received her Ph.D. in adult education from the University of Minnesota. She holds an M.S.W. degree and graduate certificate in labor and industrial relations from the University of Michigan and a B.S. from Cornell University.

This study examines perspectives of educators on the advanced placement opportunity gap for African American students. Using
interviews with 11 educators from 10 high schools, we explored their perceptions regarding the impact of a local academic
achievement program on the enrollment of African American students in honors and advanced placement courses. Results of the
analysis suggest that there is a perceived and real gap in the participation of African American students in AP courses. Findings
also revealed that educators were concerned about the lack of access for African American students to AP courses. Further,
issues of belonging and operational citizenship within the school environment were raised. Recommendations for pedagogical
techniques are presented as well as suggestions for future research.

In the two decades since Audre Lorde (1984) pointed out that we have no patterns for relating across our differences as equals (p. 115), struggles to transform higher education have come to focus on communication about and across differences. Despite these efforts, conversations in higher education about group difference and equity too often exacerbate feelings of cynicism and disenfranchisement. In this article we discuss research into the actual discourses at work in communication about the cultural politics of institutional practices. We report on an analysis of qualitative data, using this data to help clarify the challenges of relating across differences as equals.Patrick Bruch is Assistant Professor of Writing Studies in the General College at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

The three-ring circus of academia is made up of research, teaching, and service. It is also characterized by continuous action
that must be facilitated by the academic ringmaster. Academic life is more difficult than most anticipate because the responsibilities
are time-consuming, diverse, and conflicting. Therefore, this article focuses on strategies faculty members can develop to
meet these pressing demands. Specifically, we begin with a discussion of how to balance research, teaching, and service. We
then highlight strategies faculty members can use in becoming an effective academic ringmaster. We conclude with a discussion
of life outside the “big top.”

This article reports on the impact of organized research centers on professional effort, productivity, and perceptions of
work satisfaction for life sciences faculty members at research intensive universities’ medical schools in the U.S. Results
indicate that senior center-affiliated faculty members taught less but worked more total hours than peers not affiliated with
centers. Senior affiliated faculty members were more productive than their non-affiliated peers and were more likely to be
principal investigators on externally funded grants. Center-affiliated faculty members were more likely to be dissatisfied
with their mix of activities and workload but more likely to be satisfied with job security and autonomy. Implications beyond
this context are suggested.

We measured student knowledge and motivation at the beginning and end of a three-week general psychology course. Two large
lecture sections (N = 215 and N = 154) were compared; one used a cooperative learning process, and one did not. Student knowledge significantly improved
in both sections, but there was no additional benefit derived from using cooperative learning. Interestingly, student motivation
significantly decreased in the cooperative learning section. With recognition of the study’s limitations, we conclude that cooperative learning has
limited efficacy in large enrollment, compressed courses.

Research has shown that first-generation, low-income college students experience both isolation and marginalization, especially
during their first-year of college, which impacts their long-term persistence in higher education. In this article, I argue
that learning community pedagogy designed with attention to multicultural curricula is one vehicle to address the challenges
faced by these college students. Organized around the themes of identity, community, and agency, an interdisciplinary Multicultural
Learning Voices Community (MLVC) was created at a large, public midwestern research university to provide TRiO students with
challenging academic coursework that would connect with their lived experience and help them build bridges of social and academic
integration during their critical first-year of college. This article presents qualitative data from a multiple case study
of seven cohorts of the MLVC, which captures students’ perceptions of their experience.

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.

Assessing Assessment: The Effects of Two Exam Formats on Course Achievement and Evaluation 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1
This research examines the effect of two testing strategies on academic achievement and summative evaluations in an introductory statistics course. In 2001, 63 students underwent an hourly midterm format; and in 2002, 68 students underwent a bi-weekly exam format. Other than the exam format, the class lectures and labs were identical in terms of content, structure, pace, and the cumulative final exam. Findings from the regression analyses show that students in the bi-weekly format performed better than the students in the hourly midterm format. On average, students who took the bi-weekly exams performed about 10 percentage points higher (one letter grade) on the exams during the semester and about 15 percentage points higher on the cumulative final exam compared to their peers who took hourly midterms. The benefits of the bi-weekly format were significantly greater among female students than male students. Finally, students in the bi-weekly format were less likely to drop the class and evaluated the class far more favorably.

This article focuses upon the quality and scholarship of teaching as it pertains to educational and faculty development. We
outline what more than 200 faculty members at one institution have done over a 3-year period to make significant and sustained
improvements in their teaching, surprisingly with minimal effort. The top three factors leading to improvement were active/practical
learning, teacher/student interactions, and clear expectations/learning outcomes. We provide practical applications for change
and suggestions for future research.

As the numbers of nontraditional students on college campuses continue to climb, college educators should become increasingly aware of issues regarding the mixed age college classroom. The research reported in this paper is focused on understanding mixed age classrooms from the student's perspective. Through telephone interviews with over 300 students we explored three major areas: attitudes traditional and nontraditional students hold regarding their mixed age classroom experience; attitudes each group has toward their own age group and the other age group; and perceptions of the differences between older and younger students' relationships with their professors. Data on both younger and older students were collected, analyzed and compared.Jean M.

This study used empirical data to investigate College of Education faculty’s perceptions, beliefs, and commitment to diversity. A 44-item survey composed of Likert scale-type questions about characteristics, experiences, perspectives, and personal commitments to addressing diversity issues together with demographic questions, was administered to 116 COE faculty from four urban universities. A MANOVA where the independent variables were the demographic data and the dependent variables were five subscales (importance of diversity, training for pre-service teachers, college support, teaching diversity in courses, and issues of racial sensitivity) identified four statistically significant factors in faculty’s beliefs regarding the importance of diversity. The study found no support for a relationship between the faculty’s beliefs about the importance of teaching diversity and their teaching practices.Lynn A.

Research lauds the benefits of parent involvement in the schools, yet many schools and communities have not achieved desired
levels of involvement. Underlying expectations and methods soliciting parent involvement may be rooted in cultural misperceptions.
This study, based on Epstein’s (1987) Overlapping Spheres of Influence model, explored the ways and extent that community
members, school staff, and Samoan families interact regarding a public middle school. Qualitative research methods (interviews
and observations) involved parents, teachers, administrators, and community agency members and officials in participatory
action research. Findings displayed a base of cultural differences regarding parent involvement: Samoan parents were expected
to participate in school events and assist children with homework, yet Samoan culture has historically divided the parents’
responsibilities from the teachers’ responsibilities. Parents identified their responsibilities for children’s spirituality
and discipline and viewed academic matters as solely the responsibility of teachers. The school’s new activities, parents’
shifting focus, and community members’ diverse actions are demonstrating a start of change. This research supports the need
for school personnel to understand the cultural roots of minority families’ parent involvement practices.

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.

Written comments on student evaluations often seem idiosyncratic, lacking the power of numerical statistical data. These statements, however, may sometimes reveal intellectual challenges common to novice learners in our disciplines. Instructors can use these insights as part of a scholarly approach to teaching, making meaningful adjustments to future classes and informing curricular choices in productive ways. In this article we examine common student complaints in three particular situations: quantitative classes, writing-intensive courses, and classes taught using student-active formats. We discuss implications of these comments for faculty as they seek to promote students’ intellectual development.
