Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine part-time (PT) community college instructors' experiences with (and perceptions of) faculty-student interaction in their classrooms, and to describe the extent to which these faculty participate in (and benefit from) professional development activities aimed at improving those interactions. I administered online surveys to roughly equivalent samples of PT and part-time faculty (39 total), then conducted semi-structured interviews with a sample of ten adjuncts from one Southern California campus. To explore their perceptions and reported practices related to classroom FSI, I posed the following research questions: 1) How do part-time community college faculty perceive their in-class faculty-student interaction? 2) What institutional, departmental, and external barriers and opportunities influence classroom interactions according to part-time faculty? Through a sequential process of comparative, pattern/focus, and axial coding, I developed themes that led to primary and secondary findings. The study's primary findings centered on part-time instructors' self-reported roles in fostering high-quality classroom FSI, which were focused on selective personal disclosure, employing social skills & subject expertise to mentor students, varying attitudes toward faculty/student power differentials, and the degree to which their FSI is marked by a balance between building connections and negotiating boundaries. Secondary findings pertained to adjuncts' descriptions of classroom FSI. Interviewee's narratives highlighted the importance of practices which include engaging students in non-academic pre-class chit chat to bond socially, moderating inclusive class discussions to ensure that students are "heard" and have a degree of "say" in the nature and direction of those discussions, and the use of classroom management techniques aimed at fostering positive relationships with students while upholding appropriate relational boundaries that reinforce classroom conduct policies. With increasing proportions of adjunct faculty teaching at community colleges on the one hand, and at-risk students' growing reliance on these institutions as a gateway to higher education on the other, this study was, in part, a response to scholars like Yu, et al (2015), who have signaled the need for more qualitative research on the roles of adjunct faculty in college classrooms, and their impact on students' outcomes. To this end, I've employed my findings to offer a series of actionable recommendations for part-time CC faculty and the administrators tasked with supporting them.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survey data were collected from a purposeful sample of 75 participants at a large community college in Texas from the 2015 academic year. Interviews were conducted with 21 participants to obtain instructor perceptions of ready-to-teach courses in regard to pedagogy and content. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The qualitative data was analyzed using an inductive coding process revealing 3 major categories: (a) general perceptions about pedagogy in regard to ready-to-teach courses, (b) general perceptions about content in regard to ready-to-teach courses, and (c) the similarities and differences of perceptions of ready-to-teach instructors identified by their employment status - adjunct or full-time. The findings of this study show that the majority of both adjunct and full-time instructor participants were receptive to ready-to-teach courses, but each group had their own concerns about how best to implement ready-to-teach courses.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction with, accountability for, and inclusion of part-time instructors is a growing concern of higher education. The increase and development of virtual classrooms, online courses, and other transformative technologies have also impacted this particular phenomenon. As students become more focused on a customized education that fits their lives, it is evident that the traditional form of lecture in the classroom as the primary source of teaching will continue to evolve and change. This new normal of how education is delivered and taught in higher education institutions of today leads to the primary question of this study, which is who is and who will be teaching. According to the American Federation of Teachers, as cited in Charlier and Williams (2011), it is estimated that part-time instructors account for more than 68% of the professoriate teaching in the country's community colleges. Based on their perceived role and value incurred by their institutions, it is clear that this segment of faculty will continue to be significant contributors or detractors to the core mission of their institutions. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the perceptions of part-time and full-time faculty members at Gadsden State Community College regarding the inclusion or exclusion of this growing population of educators. Utilizing an online survey instrument, the study will provide a framework of practices and strategies with the potential to bring about a higher level of involvement and job satisfaction for part-time faculty.
Download or read book Strengthening the Role of Part Time Faculty in Community Colleges Focus Group Toolkit written by Center for Community College Student Engagement and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Center for Community College Student Engagement encourages colleges to hold focus groups with part-time and full-time faculty to learn about differences in the faculty and their experience at their college and to complement survey data. Survey responses tell the "what" about faculty's experiences; through conducting focus groups, colleges will learn the "why." In addition to gathering specific details about faculty perceptions and experiences, these structured discussions will also help uncover possible strategies to consider for strengthening the role of part-time faculty at the college. Provided in this toolkit are materials for organizing focus groups and sample focus group discussion guides for faculty. In addition, sample quantitative response sheets are provided to gather basic demographic information, as well as information to complement findings from discussions. [This toolkit was produced as part of the Center initiative Strengthening the Role of Part-Time Faculty in Community Colleges, supported by MetLife Foundation.].
