Teaching Improvement

In this paper we have outlined a model for instructional improvement which stresses working directly with university faculty members on their teaching skills. Integral to the workings of the model is the constructive combination of educational technology and human resources. An example of how the model is implemented with a faculty member illustrates its feasibility.

Educational Issues

Sexual relationships between faculty members and students, a form of sexual harassment, can be damaging to the student, the faculty member, and the academic community. Considerations of issues of power, entitlement, and responsibility are essential to understanding and change. This article examines the issues and dynamics involved and describes a comprehensive educational intervention model that has been developed for each of the constituent groups.

Load Variable

ABSTRACT This research aimed at identifying the level of practice of electronic teaching skills among the faculty members of PSAU and detecting the effects of the following research variables: Teaching Load, Students Number, and Teaching Experience, through surveying (153) faculty member in PSAU in 2020. The results showed that the faculty members agreed that e-teaching skills are highly practiced in technology, design, and management fields in PSAU. The results also proved that there were no statistically significant differences to (design and management fields, and overall skill) according to the ‘Teaching Load’ variable. There were also statistically significant differences to (the technology field) according to the ‘Teaching Load’ variable in favor of those with ‘lighter teaching load with administrative duties’. However, there were no statistically significant differences to (design and management fields, and overall skills) according to the ‘Student Number’ variable.

College Or University

The career to which most physical anthropology graduate students have aspired historically is that of college or university faculty member in an anthropology department with a graduate program. Through the early 1970s, such a career was not an unrealistic aspiration. However, an important employment threshold was exceeded in 1975; the production of Ph.D. physical anthropologists by U.S. colleges and universities exceeded the number of new Ph.D. physical anthropologists hired as faculty members by these departments. That trend continued into the 1980s, with one-third again as many doctoral degrees being granted in the field as there were job openings in U.S. anthropology departments.

Visiting Scholars

We empirically investigated Chinese university faculty members' visiting experience and professional growth in American universities. The major data source was qualitative semistructured interviews with 30 Chinese faculty members in the arts, engineering, natural sciences, and social sciences disciplines. The results showed that, despite challenges in preparation, language, and different academic cultures, Chinese visiting scholars were capable of navigating their host programs and achieving professional growth as they moved from peripheral to central participation in their academic community. We also critically discussed how Chinese visiting scholars' academic experience in the United States can be improved, and cast light on the globalization of higher education.

There are few who would disagree with the fact that sound personnel policies are important to any organization. This would include personnel policies and procedures for university faculty members as well as members of other organizations. This study was designed to analyze any change which had occurred in faculty personnel policies in selected southeastern and midwestern universities from 1972–73. Significant improvements were made in the areas of performance appraisal procedures, promotion systems, the use of position descriptions, and job evaluation systems. This is an encouraging trend in colleges and universities, and one that will hopefully continue to improve.
