Kennedy: Academic Duty
這篇報告的題目,來自
Donald Kennedy (前 Stanford 校長) 所著 Academic Duty
(中譯〈學術這一行〉) 這本書 [p.65]。
在第三章 To Teach 之中,
Kennedy 提醒讀者注意大學中研究與教學責任之間,越來越大的疏離。
他具體建議大學的同仁,特別是教評或聘任委員們,
重視那些固守於教學價值,而如今可能已經被視為「另類」的學術人才。
他指出幾項這類人才所可能創造的另一種學術形式,包括 [p.64ff]
- software designed for teaching, but unusual in the way it
deals with what is known
- critical or synthetic analyses of a field
- textbooks, where they take a novel or especially
effective approach
- case materials or studies that present a policy issue in new light
- videos aimed at increasing popular understanding of an issue
