It is reported that educational productivityand success depends on the psychosocial aspect of the classroom, which is a combination ofpsychological factors and the social environment [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. For this reason,faculty members are bestowed the responsibility of preparing and disseminating lecture contentwith clarity and technical structure such that it creates a climate that engages diverse learning stylesand stimulates academic development [2].Several communication models/strategies have been designed and implemented with the intentionof addressing the psychosocial aspect of the classroom [2], [3], [6], [7], [8], many of which haverendered immediate and long-term benefits.

As part of this work, in spring 2020, UD faculty participated in theCOACHE Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey. This survey, developed at the Harvard GraduateSchool of Education, measures faculty perceptions of various aspects of worklife. Despiteconducting the survey in spring 2020, a semester significantly disrupted by the COVID-19pandemic, UD’s survey response rate was 40%. COACHE determined that most responses werecollected before the disruption and performed a special analysis to determine

Teachers are obligated to develop
thinking about faculty mentorship and offers an approach to potentiallyremediate negative mentoring experiences.IntroductionAn activity often cited as critical for success in any field is mentorship. However, scholars fromeducation, management, and psychology have defined mentorship differently [1], oftenconflating such activities with other types of developmental functions or relationships such asrole modeling [2], teaching or coaching [3], and professional development training [4]. Thisvariation in how mentorship is perceived can lead to challenges clarifying mentorship as aphenomenon [5]. Therefore, it’s important to understand effective mentorship and how it mightvary from person to person to ensure such interactions benefit all involved.The

The five faculty participants provided written reflections on how theirlife and professional experiences have informed said practices. From a social constructionismparadigm and using narrative inquiry methodology, a combination of in vivo and descriptivecoding (first cycle) followed by emergent and focused coding (second cycle) were used by thefirst three authors to generate a codebook.

The extent towhich curricular and faculty-focused criteria, requirements, and activities garner a critical massof faculty who buy in will depend largely on how DEI is defined and operationalized. Definingand operationalizing DEI will be necessary to design, implement, and assess strategies. Across-institutional DEI Working Group or committee could collaborate to develop one or moremodel

Moreover, faculty developers interested in supportingeducators with ungrading could use the dimensions of variation/choices to guide conversations.Finally, we think our work could be leveraged to provide additional guidance. For example,going forward, it is possible to assemble particular sets of choices into configurations such aslightweight ungrading (a small percentage of the grade, little intermediate support, and a modestactivity at the end) or full investment ungrading (the entire grade comes from the negotiationwith the student, there is weekly intermediate support, and

In other words, hygienefactors prevent dissatisfaction with work, but do not create satisfaction. Motivating factors createjob satisfaction, but their absence does not create dissatisfaction [26].

toaddress that question as it applies to university-level engineering courses.BackgroundThere is a significant delay between when a new evidence-based teaching practice is defined,developed, and studied and when it is widely adopted by university faculty. Education-basedinstitutions, like ASEE, commonly express dissatisfaction with the implementation and adoptionof evidence-based educational practices [10-13]; this implementation lag is the inspiration formultiple studies that have been conducted in search of a method to bridge this gap [14-16].Additionally, there have been studies regarding the motivations of faculty adopting new learningstrategies in their courses [17-20]. Some parameters have been identified as key motivators forfaculty

values, norms and practices. How might groups do that? Are there ways tosoftly go about the hard work of culture change? One such tool for promoting cultural changecould be “teaming.”Teaming is a form of group discussion that requires no preparation for the participants and startswith a simple prompt that can be answered by everyone present. In the first part of the teamingsession, each participant responds to the prompt, and then chooses the next person to respond. Inthe second part of teaming participants discuss what was said and trace what each participantshares. This form of group discussion was conceived by a team of faculty at Seattle University inautumn of 2021 as an experiment and was presented at the 2022 ASEE conference (Turns et al
