Approach To Teaching

Doctoral courses devoted to teaching about pedagogy in communication sciences and disorders should take a broad view of their charge. Important student needs would be filled if classes included perspectives about (a) the role of the professor in higher education and how that role affects the professor’s approach to teaching; (b) the need for future professors to begin developing a teaching style that fits their own personal characteristics; (c) the need to plan a career and learn about applying for academic positions; and (d) the need to educate doctoral students about academic values such as curriculum design, academic freedom, discipline-based advocacy, shared governance, engagement with the public, and the role of scholarship in society. This article reviews the personal experiences and styles of professors teaching doctoral students and provides resources for others who may wish to adopt a similar approach.

Individual Choices

In this commentary on Miner et al. (2018), we highlight the role of both individual differences and social-structural factors for gender representation in STEM. We emphasize that women are active agents in guiding their own careers and that women make choices which optimize their goal pursuit in light of their individual differences traits, personal experiences, and environmental contexts. We discuss implications for career guidance and other areas of I–O practice that recognizes women’s agency in choosing their own career goals. Recognizing the role of individual choices in guiding careers does not preclude the existence or influence of social-structural factors on these choices and is not an “excuse” to justify societal or structural inequities. Addressing gender differences in STEM representation requires understanding the choices women make about their careers and the factors influencing these choices.
