Scholarship Reconsidered: Role Definition And Its Impact On The Faculty, Gary T. Hunt Jan 1993

Scholarship Reconsidered: Role Definition And Its Impact On The Faculty, Gary T. Hunt

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article addresses issues concerning the role of faculty members in U.S. universities and colleges. With external pressures coming from state legislators and accrediting bodies, all of which are aimed at the role of the individual faculty member, many both on the inside and the outside of the university are expressing opinions about the work life of the faculty member. In fact, one might even be so bold as to suggest that everything we have traditionally accepted about scholarship is now up for grabs. This unstable environment has heaped added pressure upon the individual faculty member, who may well be …

Scholarship Reconsidered: The Changing Reward System, Kenneth E. Andersen Jan 1993

Scholarship Reconsidered: The Changing Reward System, Kenneth E. Andersen

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article proposes a paradigm shift in the reward system within the U.S. higher education. The thesis of the paper is that changing the reward system to respond to the current criticism of higher education being voiced in the larger society and manifest in legislative actions in reducing funds available to higher education and efforts to monitor or control certain aspects of the higher education process--accountability, outcome measures, workload studies, hours of classroom contact--to a degree that may be perceived as being micromanagement requires a paradigm shift by those who are within the academy. Typically one would think of a …

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Reflection, Ronald L. Applbaum Jan 1993

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Reflection, Ronald L. Applbaum

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article reflects on the book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, by Ernest Boyer. Scholarship Reconsidered was an attempt by Boyer to redefine the role of the professoriate in terms of the concept of scholarship as perceived and enacted within the academy. The purpose of the special report was to provide a clearer meaning of scholarship within the academy itself. He recognized that the mission of U.S. higher education had changed dramatically over the past four decades. And, yet, the expectations of the professoriate held by the members within the academy, that is, faculty and administrators, had not always …

Departmental Textbook Publishing For The Introductory Communication Course: Pedagogical Boon Or Exploitation?, Craig Newburger, Robert Smith, Linda Pledger Jan 1993

Departmental Textbook Publishing For The Introductory Communication Course: Pedagogical Boon Or Exploitation?, Craig Newburger, Robert Smith, Linda Pledger

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article details the benefits and liabilities associated with departmental introductory communication course (ICC) textbook publishing as they are related to both the national publishing house and local commercial printer options. A number of national textbook publishers are actively involved in the production and marketing of locally authored campus-specific ICC texts and related workbooks. Such publishers offer national exposure through their textbook marketing programs and, correspondingly, absorb publicity and other-campus marketing costs. Meanwhile, a departmental desktop publishing software can be used to write, edit, design and present a camera-ready ICC text manuscript to a local commercial printer. The use of …

Differences Between Women Administrators And Faculty, Tracy A. Wahl, Donna R. Vocate Jan 1993

Differences Between Women Administrators And Faculty, Tracy A. Wahl, Donna R. Vocate

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article investigates the differences between women administrators and faculty at the Colorado University. Of the three groups, the faculty scored closest to an androgynous rating, the current administrators more masculine, and the former administrators the most masculine. It is important to remember that definitions of masculinity and femininity are generated by the respondent's self-perception of traits consonant with sex-role stereotypes and not by conformity to any generalized principle of masculinity or femininity. Thus, administrators perceived themselves as fitting best with stereotypical assumptions of masculine qualities, while faculty perceived themselves to fit best with androgynous characteristics.

Public Relations Internships: Considerations For A Successful Program, H. W. Fulmer Jan 1993

Public Relations Internships: Considerations For A Successful Program, H. W. Fulmer

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the pre-graduation internship as a vital link between public relations classes and the public relations profession. Internship is a vital and necessary part of the public relations degree program. It has three major areas: academic preparation, academic structure and administrative procedures. The timing for an internship is important. A student without some basic classroom knowledge of public relations is not likely to receive the fullest benefits from his or her internship. The prospective intern should have completed a substantial part of two related areas of study prior to the internship. The success of an internship program is …

A Tao Perspective On The Rank And Tenure Process, Lyall Crawford Jan 1993

A Tao Perspective On The Rank And Tenure Process, Lyall Crawford

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores certain features of the rank and tenure review process in the field of education from a Taoist perspective. There is much that can be learned from philosophical Taoism regarding rank and tenure review. Even though this Chinese philosophy seems incompatible with this ritual of academic life, it has been argued that certain concepts of Taoism can complement the personal experience of this evaluation process so that one is strengthened rather than weakened; that as an intrapersonal frame of reference, philosophical Taoism may offer a potential point of sanity. Certain texts of philosophical Taoism have been used to …

The Cry-Wolf Phenomenon And Its Effect On Alarm Responses, James P. Bliss Jan 1993

The Cry-Wolf Phenomenon And Its Effect On Alarm Responses, James P. Bliss

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Responses to alarms are assumed important. Yet failure to respond to alarms is recognized, although is not well understood or quantified. Conditions that might induce a failure to respond include alarm unreliability (i.e., numerous false alarms, the "cry-wolf" effect), high primary task demand, or low criticality of the alarm itself. The goals of this research were to substantiate the existence of the cry-wolf effect, quantifying its effect on operator performance, and to examine the relation between the cry-wolf effect and alarm criticality. One hundred thirty-eight UCF students alternatively performed two primary tasks, chosen from the Automated Performance Test System. Subjects …

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Challenge To Use Teaching Portfolios To Document The Scholarship Of Teaching, Don M. Boileau Jan 1993

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Challenge To Use Teaching Portfolios To Document The Scholarship Of Teaching, Don M. Boileau

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the use of teaching portfolios in documenting the scholarship of teaching in the U.S. Portfolios are generally three-ring binders that create teaching records including most often three types of materials: products of good teaching; material from oneself; materials from others. The major contribution most advocates of portfolios mention is the perceived improvement of teaching. Portfolios increase reflection and action about teaching by: giving focus on teaching as part of a professor's expected activities; encouraging faculty to seek ways to improve their teaching by attending conference meetings on teaching, reading about teaching techniques, and creating discussions about teaching …

Responsibility Center Budgeting: A Review And Commentary On The Concept And The Process, Robert Heath Jan 1993

Responsibility Center Budgeting: A Review And Commentary On The Concept And The Process, Robert Heath

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article focuses on the concept and the process of responsibility center budgeting. Academic publications, professional newsletters, convention conversations, E-mail, departmental bulletin boards, and hallway conversations at academic institutions are filled with voiced concerns about the future of higher education--specifically budgets related to academic and research program support. In tough times, innovation is essential. One innovation is responsibility center budgeting (RCB) which may empower faculty to feel confident that if they generate more income and lower costs for their colleges and universities they will be allowed to determine how those extra funds will be spent. Since faculty talent is the …

Empowering The Individual: The Concept Of Individual Freedom In Theatre Education, James Thomas Jan 1993

Empowering The Individual: The Concept Of Individual Freedom In Theatre Education, James Thomas

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article aims to reexamine the principles of professional responsibility developed by organizations such as the National Association of Schools Theatre, the National Endowment for the Arts and others, and to reconsider them in relation to specific pressing contemporary moral issues. Theatre practitioners who attempt to lead moral lives have always been concerned with ethics. Throughout Stanislavski's books and notes, for example, is the sense that the question of ethics occupied him throughout his professional life. In fact, he was so strongly committed to the highest ethical values that he endorsed the use of autocratic discipline to achieve his goals. …

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers And The "Curse Of Doug Williams", Richard C. Crepeau Dec 1992

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers And The "Curse Of Doug Williams", Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

With the end of the National Football League's regular season, we have come to the end of another season of despair for the Tampa Bay Bucs. New levels of futility were achieved as the Bucs turned in their tenth consecutive season in which they have lost at least ten games. And the Bucs don't just lose, they lose in new and creative ways. This is a team of legendary incompetence, whose poor performance over a sustained period of time is earning them a special place in the history of the NFL.

Shaq: The Latest Impact Player, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

They are called impact players. The kind of player who can come into a league and make an immediate impact on a team, and even on a league. They are few and far between. The Orlando Magic has one. At 7'1" and around 300 pounds he is what Al McGuire termed an aircraft carrier, and Dick Vitale calls a space eater. Either description will do. He is Shaquille O'Neal. The Shaq.
