Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book draws on the 2007 Changing Academic Profession international survey in order to document the personal characteristics, career trajectories, sense of identity/commitment and job satisfaction of academics in 14 countries with different levels of economic and social development and different higher education systems. With nearly 26,000 academics surveyed in 19 countries (of which 14 are reporting their results in this volume), the empirical basis of the book is the most up-to-date and far-reaching in the area. With major changes taking place both in the local and global contexts of higher education and in the working conditions within individual universities, as exemplified by increasing managerialism and performance-based funding, it is important to consider the impact of these changes on the profiles and working lives of the academic profession across different countries. But it is also important to look at the ways in which the faculty’s changing profile impacts on the organisation and management of universities and on the delivery of their central functions. Although not always obvious in the short-term, academic work and its conditions attract, incorporate and promote different types of individuals who, in turn, exert considerable influence on the nature of academic work, higher education institutions and, potentially, society. As faculty members are central to the teaching, research and service enterprise activities of higher education, it is important to understand their personal characteristics, career trajectories, sense of identity and commitment, and job satisfaction. These are central for understanding the academic profession in general and, in particular, the factors affecting their involvement and productivity in the work of their institutions. These are a complex result of a mixture of contextual factors (e.g. the status and regulatory framework of the higher education system, the features and atmosphere of the particular institution) and personal factors (e.g. gender, educational attainment, family background, attitudes to work and broader social values).This book examines the different situations facing the academic profession in individual countries and provides comparative studies of country differences.

Download or read book A Profile of the Community College Professorate 1975 2000 written by Charles Outcalt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation's 275,000 community college instructors teach over 5,500,000 students, or over one-third of all college students in the US. However, community colleges and their instructors have received little attention in either the academic or popular press. This book presents the results of an unprecedented national study of the community college professoriate. It offers insights into a wide variety of their attitudes and practices, and includes chapters on such crucial topics as instruction, satisfaction, professional involvement, and the use of reference groups. In addition, it provides a unique longitudinal perspective on community college faculty by updating a major study of the professoriate conducted in the 1970s. The book debunks some popular myths regarding community college faculty, such as notions that collaborative teaching and in-class technology have become more prevalent. In addition, it offers a portrait of the professoriate as increasingly diverse, as well as increasingly fragmented. The book concludes with practical recommendations for administrators and faculty interested in improving the quality of faculty lives, and faculty practice, at their institutions.
Download or read book Teachers and Mentors written by Craig Kridel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique relationship between mentors and students informs the art of teaching and enhances the intellectual vitality of higher education and quality of teacher and student life. This collection of original essays presents autobiographical vignettes of important professors of our time. These essays reflect the appreciation of the authors-now successful academics-for their teachers/mentors, whose drive and creativity had such on influence on the careers of their students. No other collection presents such an autobiographical and biographical portrayal of college of education faculty. The essays examine what it means to be a professor in today's academia, with its erosion of the professoriate and the emergence of a questionable entrepreneurial pragmatism. The writers and their subjects explain their vision of the academic life sustained by a community and perpetuated through the lives of their teachers and their students, a tradition not only in teaching but also in mentoring.

Download or read book An Examination of Institutional Profiles and Attitudes of Music Faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities HBCU in Virginia written by Kalem O. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have been around since the 1800's. Most of the literature written about HBCUs pertains to the schools as a whole. There is not a significant amount of literature written about HBCU music programs. HBCUs and their rich heritage of historical research and music did not become a topic of scholarly discussion until the 1970s. Most of the scholarly materials written about HBCUs are of histories of band programs. There were no significant findings on anything else that the HBCU has done musically. The purpose of this study was to look at the faculty of HBCUs in Virginia and determine their levels of educational attainment, where they attained their degrees, their ethnicity, how long they have been teaching at their respective institutions, their faculty rank, and the level of satisfaction with the institution they attained their degrees from. The data gained from the study was compared to specific peer institutions of the public HBCUs as determined by the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia (SCHEV). The study sought to find out whether HCBUs in Virginia are taught predominantly or exclusively by Black instructors, whether the faculty members themselves graduated from an HBCU, whether the majority of the faculty members are tenured, and whether the majority of the faculty members have terminal degrees. The study found that the majority of the music faculty members at the HBCUs in Virginia are Black or African American and graduated from an HBCU. Most of the faculty members did have tenure and also have terminal degrees. The music faculties at the five HBCU test schools were very similar to their peer institutions labeled by SCHEV.
