Abstract
Academic governance is an important part of higher education (Kezar et al. 2006 ), and commonly takes place in meetings. Unfortunately, meeting inefficiency is widespread (Mroz et al. 2018 ). An academic department redesigned a day-long meeting to incorporate design thinking techniques. This qualitative study reported faculty reaction to the redesign. Recommendations are made for the design of future meetings with regard to faculty buy-in, diversity, relationships, professional development, and ongoing sustainability.
学术治理是高等教育的重要组成部分(Kezar et al. 2006),通常在会议上进行。不幸的是,会议效率低下是普遍存在的(Mroz et al. 2018)。一个学术部门重新设计了一个为期一天的会议,以融入设计思维技巧。这项定性研究报告了教师对重新设计的反应。在教师参与、多样性、关系、专业发展和持续可持续性方面,对未来会议的设计提出了建议。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
