Produktbeschreibung
Over the last few decades, faculty utilization of
instructional technology has been increasing
tremendously. This has had a major impact on teaching
and learning in American higher education by
supporting the goal of shifting the instructional
paradigm to the learner-centered educational model.
With the increase has also come a fast rise in the
need for department chairs to provide suitable
leadership in integrating instructional technology in
higher education. This book, therefore, examines the
relationship between the leadership style of academic
department chairs and faculty utilization of
instructional technology in teaching. The analysis
shows that chairs leadership frames are
significantly correlated with a variety of technology
domains such as technology infrastructure, faculty
use of technology, technical support, and
administrative support. The findings should help
higher education administrators at all levels and
faculty better understand the influence of chairs
leadership on faculty adoption of technology in
teaching and also contribute to building a more
systematic base of information about the chairs role
in higher education.
