Описание: For busy college faculty who want to catch up on the latest developments in teaching and learning, this book offers an accessible guide to seven key evidence-based strategies for effective instruction.As higher education embraces active learning, online and blended classrooms, and new student expectations, educators are faced with overwhelming choices in teaching methods. How do instructors sort through all the possible options and choose the most appropriate methods for their goals? Streamlining the theoretical background and foundational material of the previous edition, this new iteration allows readers to ground current teaching practices in established theories of learning. Expanded discussion includes applications across classroom modalities, new understandings of culturally responsive teaching practices, and a range of examples across disciplines.With numerous teaching options available, this go-to resource is the ideal companion for any college instructor who wishes to intentionally match the best teaching strategies to their desired learning outcomes, improve student learning, and enjoy teaching.
Описание: We all know that higher education has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Historically a time of exploration and self-discovery, the college years have been narrowed toward an increasingly singular goal--career training--and college students these days forgo the big questions about who they are and how they can change the world and instead focus single-mindedly on their economic survival. In The Purposeful Graduate, Tim Clydesdale elucidates just what a tremendous loss this is, for our youth, our universities, and our future as a society. At the same time, he shows that it doesn't have to be this way: higher education can retain its higher cultural role, and students with a true sense of purpose--of personal, cultural, and intellectual value that cannot be measured by a wage--can be streaming out of every one of its institutions.
The key, he argues, is simple: direct, systematic, and creative programs that engage undergraduates on the question of purpose. Backing up his argument with rich data from a Lilly Endowment grant that funded such programs on eighty-eight different campuses, he shows that thoughtful engagement of the notion of vocational calling by students, faculty, and staff can bring rich rewards for all those involved: greater intellectual development, more robust community involvement, and a more proactive approach to lifelong goals. Nearly every institution he examines--from internationally acclaimed research universities to small liberal arts colleges--is a success story, each designing and implementing its own program, that provides students with deep resources that help them to launch flourishing lives.
Flying in the face of the pessimistic forecast of higher education's emaciated future, Clydesdale offers a profoundly rich alternative, one that can be achieved if we simply muster the courage to talk with students about who they are and what they are meant to do.
