Oral Communication Across The Curriculum: The State Of The Art After Twenty-Five Years Of Experience, Michael W. Cronin, George L. Grice, Patricia R. Palmerton
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article aims is to guide administrators and faculty in developing oral-communication-across-the-curriculum (OCXC) programs. It examines the rationale for and the most common arguments against OCXC; presents recommendations for designing, implementing, and assessing such programs; reviews published assessments of learning outcomes relevant to OCXC; and offers suggestions for the continued development of OCXC. OCXC was first began in 1975 at Central College in Pella, Iowa. A dissertation and a master's project have examined OCXC. The National Communication Association has promulgated resolutions to guide the development of OCXC and has offered a three-hour short course on OCXC at the past ten …
Educational Assessment Grows Up: Looking Toward The Future, Phil Backlund, Pat Arneson
Educational Assessment Grows Up: Looking Toward The Future, Phil Backlund, Pat Arneson
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article explores the history, the present, and the future of educational assessment in the U.S. to enable readers working with communication assessment issues to make more informed decisions. The time frame illustrates the evolving narrative of education. This narrative not only presents assessment as part of our educational life-story, it also functions to continually create our educational reality -- a reality that includes assessment. As educators, we have an obligation to participate in the ongoing development of this narrative to shape the future of education. The assessment movement was born in the middle 1970s, and many people thought it …
What Is Good Communication?, Brian H. Spitzberg
What Is Good Communication?, Brian H. Spitzberg
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This articles examines the question: What is good communication? The nature of good communication is both ambiguous and ambivalent. This claim can be taken as a reference to the characteristics that defame good communication, or as a reference to the state of scholarly knowledge about the concept of good communication. On its face, the statement seems clear, and yet, in claiming ambiguity and ambivalence, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Such are some of the subtleties of communication itself, and it is such subtleties that require a re-examination of the composition of good communication. The qualifier "good" suggests a nexus of …
A Confrontation With Diversity: Communication And Culture In The 21st Century, Carolyn Calloway-Thomas, Thurmon Garner
A Confrontation With Diversity: Communication And Culture In The 21st Century, Carolyn Calloway-Thomas, Thurmon Garner
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article highlights the problem posed by cultural diversity to communication in North America. Our motive in posing these questions is not to present a whirlwind tour of diversity, but simply to explore what we consider to be some important issues that are driving the human caravan in North America's shift from monoculturalism to multiculturalism. Answers to such questions should tell us a great deal about how to communicate in the next century. The essay is divided into three sections. Part one explores the framework of creolization and its implications for the communication discipline. Part two examines some social and …
Employment Trends In Communication Arts And Sciences, Michael E. Smilowitz, Philip Emmert
Employment Trends In Communication Arts And Sciences, Michael E. Smilowitz, Philip Emmert
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article looks at the career opportunities for communication arts and sciences graduates in the U.S. As graduate students planning academic careers seek counsel for their programs of study, there is a need for good answers regarding career opportunities. Departments planning curricula and seeking to fill position vacancies likewise require reliable information regarding the directions in which their disciplines are moving. The analysis for curricula development, program growth, and career choices requires more than anecdotal evidence. Incidental conversations at conventions and the occasional reviews of the "state of the art" are helpful, but not adequate for considering concerns as important …
The Communication Department In A State Of Perpetual Crisis: Discount Store University?, David Ritchie
The Communication Department In A State Of Perpetual Crisis: Discount Store University?, David Ritchie
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article explores the implications of the discount store metaphor as it is commonly used and understood, and considers its implications for how academic departments are led and administered. The metaphor of the discount store is often offered as an implicit criticism of the legislators, trustees and administrators who demand that academic departments justify their curriculum and methods in financial terms. It is also sometimes offered as an implicit criticism of the students and parents who ask about the relevance or usefulness of course content, choose courses and majors with an eye to career and earning potential, complain about the …

The Scholarship Of Discovery, Jean Dobos
The Scholarship Of Discovery, Jean Dobos
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article examines the traditional criteria for evaluating faculty research. Building on a summary of faculty evaluation studies provided a useful list of traditional criteria prominent in the evaluation of faculty research: quantitative measures, qualitative measures, peer judgments and eminence measures. Listed among the quantitative measures are the number of publications in refereed professional journals and the number of books or book chapters. The traditional qualitative measures when applied to the evaluation of the scholarship of discovery, pose still other questions and problems for the communication discipline. The peer-review standard should be relatively straightforward to apply to the evaluation of …
Scholarship Of Integration: Pushing, Blurring, And Connecting Theoretical Perspectives, Carole A. Barbato
Scholarship Of Integration: Pushing, Blurring, And Connecting Theoretical Perspectives, Carole A. Barbato
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This articles explores the function of the scholarship of integration to the field of communication studies. The scholarship of integration is defined as disciplined work that seeks to interpret, draw together, and bring new insight to bear on original research and interpretation, fitting one's own research or the research of others into larger intellectual patterns. Thus, the scholarship of integration attempts to synthesize what is known and interpret it in new ways by redefining it. It pushes the boundaries of the discipline by analyzing the effects of cutting edge research and its value to the discipline. It sometimes means blurring …
The Scholarship Of Application: The Interaction Of Theory And Practice, Rozell R. Duncan, Mary Anne Higgins
The Scholarship Of Application: The Interaction Of Theory And Practice, Rozell R. Duncan, Mary Anne Higgins
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article explores the implication of integrating theory and practice to application of scholarship among educators. The application of knowledge, commonly termed service, is the third chord of the scholarly triad. Service is transforming what we know as a discipline into functionally tools that can affect and resolve societal problems. Application stretches beyond committee work and community projects, it integrates theory and practice. The practical application of theory enables scholars to respond positively to the needs of the community in which they live.

Relationships Among Central Administrators, Chairs, And Faculty: Academic Change Agents In Theory And Practice, Mark Hickson Iii
Relationships Among Central Administrators, Chairs, And Faculty: Academic Change Agents In Theory And Practice, Mark Hickson Iii
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article explores the impact of the academic changes in the higher education in the U.S. on the relationship among administrators, chairs and faculty. Times have changed in higher education in the U.S. In the 1960s and 1970s higher education grew rapidly. State and local governments, as well as private donors, willingly and enthusiastically supported higher education. But the Vietnam conflict brought changes in that colleges were often considered the training grounds for protesters as well as escape routes from military conscription. Today it appears that most of heard are requests for raising money not at the president's level nor …
Overcoming Resistance To Instructional Technology, William G. Powers, Susan Anderson, Don Love
Overcoming Resistance To Instructional Technology, William G. Powers, Susan Anderson, Don Love
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article discusses the significance of instructional technology to communication departments and presents actions which can take to overcome faculty resistance to instructional technology. One of the major values of instructional technology is that rather than minimizing the role of the human instructor, that instructor actually uncovers a means for greater learning impact upon individuals in the class. The massive utilization of communication technology in distance learning efforts across the nation clearly demonstrates the effective utilization of instructional strategies in one context from which we can make appropriate adjustments to another context, the on-site classroom.
Information Utility, Reader Interest, Publication Rating And Student Newspaper Readership, Carolyn Lin
Information Utility, Reader Interest, Publication Rating And Student Newspaper Readership, Carolyn Lin
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article investigates student motivations for reading a college student paper, including evaluations of performance and content preferences. The declining interest in newspaper readership, particularly among college-age readers has attracted concern among scholars in recent years. In a democracy founded on freedom of the press, fewer than 40% of adults today under the age of 30 subscribe to a paper. This suggests that time spent with newspapers continues to decline even as new media use accounts for the bulk of audience leisure.
Critical Analysis Of Interventions Against Fgc In Egypt, Nahla G. Abdel-Tawab, Sahar Hegazi
Critical Analysis Of Interventions Against Fgc In Egypt, Nahla G. Abdel-Tawab, Sahar Hegazi
Reproductive Health
Community-based programs designed to discourage the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) in Egypt started as early as the 1920s, however, NGOs seldom document the implementation, strengths, and weaknesses of each approach; or difficulties faced in implementation or ways of overcoming those difficulties. The present meta-assessment was designed by the Population Council to address these issues. Recommendations proposed to increase the effectiveness of anti-FGC interventions in Egypt include: conducting formative research to assess the needs of individuals/communities; using more participatory learning techniques in awareness-raising seminars and training workshops; focusing messages not only on the health hazards of FGC, but also …

Implementing A Context-Based Teaching Curriculum For French Learners At The Mtc, Stephanie Wallace Olsen
Implementing A Context-Based Teaching Curriculum For French Learners At The Mtc, Stephanie Wallace Olsen
Theses and Dissertations
Two control groups and two experimental groups of missionaries and teachers participated in a study comparing a grammar-based method of teaching to a context-based method. The study lasted for two weeks during June 1997. Each classroom was recorded using a timing-based observation system that captured 13 missionary and teacher language behaviors. The behaviors were recorded in real time and later evaluated to determine in which classroom setting the most real communication occurred. A second purpose was to determine the effectiveness of teacher training with respect to teachers in the experimental group. Findings revealed that missionaries in the context-based classroom received …
A Case Study Of Servant-Leadership, Juli Rasmussen
A Case Study Of Servant-Leadership, Juli Rasmussen
Theses and Graduate Projects
This case study poses the following question; does Greenleaf's servant- leadership theory provide a sufficiently comprehensive framework for effective leadership?
This study offers a review of literature that explores five key tenets of servant-leadership. These tenets include the exploration of the interconnections between leader, follower and institution, the idea that individuals are active agents in the creation of their life, the transformational nature of servant- leadership, the importance of a common purpose or vision and the use of persuasion as the primary means of influence.
The second half of the study is dedicated to evaluating the theory in practice. The …
