Improving Instruction: Reform the Institution, Not the Faculty.

Arnstine, Donald

Liberal Education, v64 n3 p266-77 Oct 1978

It is suggested that the quality of instruction on a campus is unlikely to improve, even when the skills of faculty members are improved, because of institutional constraints that hinder reforms. Significant change is seen as dependent on the creation of smaller, more autonomous instructional units. (JMD)
