Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for the beginner in astronomy, this book ties together various aspects of the subject to create a cohesive, understandable, and comprehensive overview of everything from classical subjects to modern astrophysical concepts to the structure and origin of the Universe. It focuses on making science and astronomy relevant to life, featuring nearly forty essays that discuss such topics as the practical functions and workings of science, the work of historical characters, and what it would be like to live on other planets. Through an in-depth discussion of stars and constellations, the text relates concepts to what students can actually see in the sky. Unbroken by boxed inserts and other graphics, the book's format reflects a continuous document that increases clarity of text material and enhances readability. Abundant end-of-chapter pedagogy, such as "Key Concepts" and helpful exercises keyed to question types (i.e. numerical questions), facilitates student comprehension.

Download or read book An Illinois Sampler written by Mary-Ann Winkelmes and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Illinois Sampler presents personal accounts from faculty members at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and other contributors about their research and how it enriches and energizes their teaching. Contributors from the humanities, engineering, social and natural sciences, and other disciplines explore how ideas, methods, and materials merge to lead their students down life-changing paths to creativity, discovery, and solutions. Faculty introduce their classes to work conducted from the Illinois prairie to Caribbean coral reefs to African farms, and from densely populated cities to dense computer coding. In so doing they generate an atmosphere where research, teaching, and learning thrive inside a feedback loop of education across disciplines. Aimed at alumni and prospective students interested in the university's ongoing mission, as well as current faculty and students wishing to stay up to date on the work being done around them, An Illinois Sampler showcases the best, the most ambitious, and the most effective teaching practices developed and nurtured at one of the world's premier research universities.

Download or read book Perceptions of Outreach Theory and Practice at Centers for Teaching and Learning written by Samantha Dunn and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) and how they are perceived by the instructors and employees who work in higher education. CTLs focus on accessing and assessing faculty and staff while creating programs and research which offers insight into the faculty, instructional, and organizational needs of an institution. The needs that CTLs focus on include the professional, educational, instructional, and, sometimes, personal development of employees. Yet, the theories and practices which drive the research of educational development-specifically CTLs-are fragmented due to the interdisciplinary nature, vast scope, and practical-focus of directors and researchers. This study builds upon previous research regarding CTLs and scholarship of higher education institutions. Using Grounded Theory, this study inductively analyzes survey and interview data from instructors and CTL employees across the United States to answer the following questions: (1) How do instructors and CTL employees perceive the role and work of CTLs in supporting the teaching and learning process in higher education? (2) What role does outreach play in the position of a CTL employee to provide support to instructors at a university or college? and (3) How do characteristics within a university structure the practice, theory, and outreach of the CTL unit? Through an open-ended survey completed by 139 people and 13 interviews with those who work within higher education, data were coded and thematized to determine how CTLs are viewed on higher education campuses. During the recursive analysis process, themes were better understood as connected amongst each other and built from prior research. Although participants represented a variety of campuses and backgrounds, four interconnected themes were identified: (1) Outreach, (2) Motivations, (3) Expectations, and (4) Change Agents. These themes work together to help show how CTLs are viewed, received, and utilized on campuses. The data allowed for comparison among different types of universities and CTLs to better inform the outreach and understand the practical and theoretical practices of CTLs. It has the potential to help CTLs continue to expand, reach out, and develop programming, theory, and practice in ways that are valued by instructors. Through understanding how instructors view quality educational development, based on a number of characteristics, quality programming can create audience adaptive messages to ensure quality learning and development. Further, instructional developers can better recognize how their programming is understood, valued, and appreciated.
Download or read book Women and Ideas in Engineering written by Laura D. Hahn and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing presence of women within engineering programs is one of today's most dramatic developments in higher education. Long before, however, a group of talented and determined women carved out new paths in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois. Laura D. Hahn and Angela S. Wolters bring to light the compelling hidden stories of these pioneering figures. When Mary Louisa Page became the College's first female graduate in 1879, she also was the first American woman ever awarded a degree in architecture. Bobbie Johnson's insistence on "a real engineering job" put her on a path to the Apollo and Skylab programs. Grace Wilson, one of the College's first female faculty members, taught and mentored a generation of women. Their stories and many others illuminate the forgotten history of women in engineering. At the same time, the authors offer insights into the experiences of today's women from the College -- a glimpse of a brighter future, one where more women in STEM fields apply their tireless dedication to the innovations that shape a better tomorrow.
