New Faculty as Teachers.

Boice, Robert

Journal of Higher Education, v62 n2 p150-73 Mar-Apr 1991

Repeated interviews (n=207) at two large universities suggest that new faculty teach defensively, emphasizing content over student involvement, rarely seek or receive collegial help, and resent teaching as an activity that undermines scholarship. The successful minority quickly sought help and found a workload balance. (Author/MSE)
