Some subscribers may be interested in part 3 [Hake (2007c)] of the
theme "The Myths of Innovation" [Hake (2007a, 2007b)]. The abstract
of part 3 is:
***************************************************
ABSTRACT: I respond to comments by IFETS subscriber James Kariuki
regarding innovation in higher education: (a) the training and
support that's been available, and (b) the formidable barriers to
innovation. Regarding the latter, I discuss the student resistance,
as described by John Belcher, to the innovative TEAL program at MIT.
Belcher's experience is consistent with James Rhem's essay "The High
Risks of Improving Teaching"; Patti Thorn's dissertation "Bridging
the Gap Between What Is Praised and What Is Practiced: Supporting the
Work of Change as Anatomy & Physiology Instructors Introduce Active
Learning into Their Undergraduate Classroom"; my own "Re: Problems
with Student Evaluations: Is Assessment the Remedy?"; and with David
Garvin's description of student outrage over Harvard's initiation of
the case-based method.
