Opis

This text draws on the perspectives of faculty's around the world to determine significant trends in how professors view teaching and research. At colleges and universities throughout the world, there are professors who devote most of their time to research activities, and others who prefer teaching. Using data collected by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's international survey of the academic profession, this study found that there are international similarities in how teaching-oriented faculty view higher education differently than their research-oriented colleagues, particularly regarding their perspectives towards the assessment of teaching and the international dimensions of higher education.
