ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on comparisons between sample sub-groups for the construct as a whole. Doctoral seekers were more likely to have taught both honors and remedial courses than their non-doctoral seeking counterparts. Doctoral seekers were more likely to have organized extracurricular activities, and to have traveled off campus for professional development activities. Nearly all instructors reported having revised their syllabus; a sizable minority had taught across disciplines at least once, over half the respondents in each category had traveled off campus for a professional conference or symposium, and over half had organized extracurricular activities for students. Lecture and discussion continued to be the most prevalent forms of instructional methods for all instructors. Full-timers demonstrated higher scores than their part-time colleagues on many measures related to instructional practice. While lecture remained the most popular instructional form, respondents in all categories reported using a variety of other pedagogical practices, especially discussion.
