Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Curriculum and Instruction: Educational Technology.
This paper adds to the literature on student-centered teaching in higher education, answering the question of what is expected of instructors for them to teach in a student-centered manner. Building upon the existing literature regarding student-centered teaching, this paper defines a construct of student-centered teaching. In addition, two versions of a data collection instrument have been developed to measure the student centeredness of higher education instructors’ teaching approaches, utilizing self-reported data. This paper also adds to the discussion on whether student-centered teaching is related to the teaching context or teacher demographic variables. Results indicated that there was no practically significant relationship between student-centered teaching and any of the contextual or demographic variables; course discipline and instructor sex were, however, statistically significant. This study took place within the context of a cultural change initiative at The University of Toledo, in which the university is creating a culture of student-centeredness.
