O knihe

American colleges and universities are laboring with sharply reduced resources and being asked pointed questions about their efficiency and effectiveness in educating students like never before.
For those administrators, faculty and all readers who want to understand how colleges can get better at their most important work, they will find invaluable guidance in Changing the Conversation about Higher Education. Robert Thompson has brought together the work of more than twenty professionals across thirteen universities to present important research on the obscure issues of vision, structure, and cultural transformation as they pertain to administrators and faculty. The result is a much-needed discussion on how to improve faculty and curricular reform for student success. Changing the Conversation about Higher Education addresses the contributions and findings from this research and is intended for academic administrators, faculty, and graduate students who are dedicated to improving undergraduate teaching and learning. The research was directed at two core aims of a liberal education: critical thinking and writing.
