商品資訊
商品簡介
To Improve the Academy, Volume 25, offers a resource for innovating and meeting new challenges in higher education to faculty and instructional development staff, department chairs, deans, student services staff, chief academic officers, and educational consultants. Divided into five sections, the book covers topics such as
- POD's ethical guidelines for educational developers
- Educational development and sociological imagination, or the ability to connect individual experience to social structure
- Paradigms for readers to consider, including critical theory and chaos theory
- Educational development and the scholarship of teaching and learning
- Specific practices and issues related to improving curriculum and instruction
- Faculty development, vitality, and reward at different stages of the faculty career
The aim of the book—and POD as an organization—is to instill in educational developers a sense of responsibility for improving the quality of teaching and learning. This anniversary edition not only celebrates this value but also guides readers to a workable understanding of how to contribute to improvements in higher education.
