Evaluating Faculty Performance During the Information Revolution: But Is It Scholarship?
| Title: | Evaluating Faculty Performance During the Information Revolution: But Is It Scholarship? (ID: SAC0404) | | Author(s): | Norman Fainstein (Connecticut College) | | Topics: | Assessment and Evaluation, Faculty, Faculty Development | | Origin: | SAC Conferences (Archives) (2004) | | Type: | Presentations and Seminars | | Abstract: | Scholarship, teaching, and service form the basis for professional evaluation in the U.S. academy. The information revolution has begun to transform the possibilities within and across these three realms. We can now see the historical specificity of the "Cartesian/passive" mode of production of knowledge, with its characteristic systems for generating, evaluating, disseminating, and consuming research and scholarship. The outlines of a new mode of knowledge production help us both understand the underlying forces that strain extant systems and suggest constructive new approaches to evaluating faculty performance. | | View this resource: | |
