Changing Minds in Higher Education

Students Change, So Why Can’t Colleges?

By: John Tagg

The problem today is that when students change, colleges don’t have to because they camouflage and conceal the evidence that could guide change.

From Volume 37 Number 1 | October–December 2008

Abstract: College students have changed dramatically, and the skills needed for productive employment have changed as well. But colleges and universities have been slow to respond, often innovating in only small ways while leaving the core practices of undergraduate education the same. This article examines the barriers to transformational change in higher education in five categories: structure, information, incentives, finance, and culture. It suggests that the initial approach to overcoming these barriers involves generating better information in the form of feedback concerning student learning processes and outcomes.

From Volume 37 Number 1 | October–December 2008

Both qualitative and quantitative data methodologies are used to provide a unique perspective on a constantly evolving topic.

Theories of self-esteem and interpersonal communication are integrated throughout the article.

Let’s Hear from Students

By: Claire L. Turcotte

Since this issue is all about students, we thought you might like to hear from some.

From Volume 37 Number 1 | October–December 2008

Abstract: This special two-part series on student life would not be complete without a student perspective. What do real, live, individual students from the Net generation think, experience, dream, and plan? Are they as “wired in” as Mark Milliron describes in his article? Is communication strongly linked to technology as outlined by Tamara Wandel? How do student characteristics affect teaching and student learning (John Tagg), student services (Simone Himbeault Taylor), and a student’s overall college experience (Freda Pagani)?
