),collaborations can be a significant experience in graduate students’ identity development— Students begin to craft their professional identity by “trying on” possible images of themselves to see how well they fit. One way these images are established is through the individual’s professional development network, and the relationships students have members of their profession and learning community (p. 3).8Graduate education is often characterized as an independent endeavor, requiring a certain levelof self-motivation. During this solitary endeavor, students grapple with a range of issues,including exploring, understanding, and defining personal beliefs and values. Thus, it may bepossible for graduate students to support one

listed above. According to Arumand Roksa, recent government reports show a decline in full time instructional faculty from 78%in 1970 to 52% in 2005.26 This has a serious impact on graduate education, as the facultymembers who work with graduate students are usually tenured faculty. The decline in thenumbers of tenured faculty pushes more of the work load onto the remaining faculty, so that thefaculty members are assuming increasing workloads in working with graduate students. Thedecline of tenured and tenure track positions then leaves fewer job openings for traditionalgraduates of doctoral programs.There has also been an increasing focus on Professional Master’s and Doctoral Degrees—degrees which prepare graduates for careers in business

One studentsummed up the process as an overwhelming task to accomplish in one semester: I need to [find a faculty member that I will] be able to work well with and they should have similar research interests to me.

To teachresponsively, one needs to examine how students experience their learning. It is importantto know what significance students ascribe to faculty’s actions, views, and concerns. Forthe students, faculty’s choice of exercises, materials, assignments, etc.may not always becompatible with faculty’s intention. Therefore, methods, content, connectedness, andgoals may have to change to become more compatible with the ways these are perceivedby students.
