Shaping College Students' Civic Attitudes through Faculty Teaching Practices and Student-Faculty Interactions
Trolian, Teniell L.; Parker, Eugene T., III
Journal of College and Character, v21 n2 p86-103 2020
Using data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education, this study examined the relationship between several faculty practices and interactions with students and students' civic engagement attitudes. Several faculty practices were associated with positive civic attitudes, including frequency of student-faculty contact, use of cooperative learning classroom activities, use of course content that helps students see connections between intended careers and how they affect society, and use of course content that helps students understand the historical, political, and social connections of past events. Implications for institutional policy and practice are discussed.
