2004 Mack Fellows Announced 04/01/04 - Five new fellows were recently selected to receive funding for their research projects and serve as Mack Center leadership for the 2004-2005 year. Fellows were selected based upon an application that proposed a research project that was both innovative and well-grounded in the emerging body of knowledge in the scholarship of teaching and learning. The new fellows represent the increasing interest in SoTL and propose diverse research initiatives. Eugenia Fernandez, Professor of Computer and Information Technology at IUPUI, will survey teaching strategies used in online courses at IUPUI and create and test an instrument to categorize these strategies. Dr. Fernandez has been awarded several grants and fellowships focusing on database management, instructional technology, and collaboration in web-based courses. Carol Hostetter, Assistant Professor of Social Work at IU Bloomington, discusses the abundance of web-based courses and accredited degree programs, which demonstrate the importance of developing our understanding of the many complex features of distance education. The purpose of her research proposal is to understand one aspect of online courses, social presence. Dr. Hostetter recently completed work on a substantial grant relating to the educational needs of child welfare workers and is presenting her findings at national conferences. Jay Howard, Associate Professor of Sociology at IUPU Columbus, began a study seeking to demonstrate a connection between the learning goals identified in The Principles of Undergraduate Learning (PULs) and teaching methods in Introductory Sociology courses. He hopes to determine whether the amount and nature of classroom discussion, the use of Oncourse, and the use of small group activities contribute to student learning, as measured by the PULs. Dr. Howard's SoTL research focuses on the consolidation of responsibility for student participation in discussions in the mixed age college classroom and has published numerous articles related to such work. Mark Hoyert, Associate Professor of Psychology at IU Northwest, will explore an empirical study to examine variants of motivational factors and an intervention to aid struggling students. He hopes to build on past findings and further explore the effect in two ways: 1) design a study examining variants of performance orientation and 2) design an intervention to help struggling, poorly motivated students. Dr. Hoyert has researched the effects of goal orientation in Introductory Psychology students for the past several years and published numerous articles pertaining to this subject matter. Randy Isaacson, Associate Professor of Education at IU South Bend, will focus on the contribution of reflection, specifically metacognitive awareness, to student learning in higher education. He will explore the relationship of metacognitive awareness to student learning and the potential impact of classroom practice and technology in facilitating this reflection in college students. Dr. Isaacson has presented and published SoTL related articles in the areas of performance and self-regulated learning and the impact of metacognition and knowledge monitoring on student learning. The 2002-2003 Mack Fellows have written the charter for the Mack Center, which includes the mission and vision statements. Application information is available, applications for 2005 fellowships will be due in September 2004. We want to take the opportunity to thank the original Mack Fellows who set the precedent for fine work and demonstrated their devotion to the scholarship of teaching and learning. They all went above and beyond to get the Mack Center dream off the ground and headed in a positive direction. Marc Jacobson Receives Fellowship Walter Wagor Named ACE Fellow Each ACE Fellow will focus on an issue of concern to the nominating institution while spending the next academic year working with a college or university president and other senior officers at a host institution. The Fellow will be included in the highest level of decision making while participating in administrative activities and learning about an issue to benefit Indiana University East. During the program, Fellows will attend three week-long seminars on higher education issues organized by ACE, read extensively in the field, and engage in other activities to enhance their knowledge about the challenges and opportunities confronting higher education today and in the next century.
