There is a perception that a variety of forces, both social and
technological, are accelerating the rate at which change is needed
and occurring in higher education. There is also recognition that
the primary means through which institutions change is via the
creativity, innovation, pedagogy, and scholarship of their faculty.
Addressing the challenges offered by these change issues, faculty
development programs provide an institutionalized mechanism through
which change may become manifest systemically. Situated within the
context of institutional change, this study sought to better
understand the underlying psychological processes that facilitate
the adoption of innovations and new pedagogical practices by
faculty within higher education. Through an interdisciplinary
approach, self-efficacy research and Roger's diffusion theory were
used to inform a line of inquiry that ultimately offers guidance
for the evolution of future faculty development practices as well
as directions for future areas of research. Faculty developers,
administrators and faculty in higher education, educational
psychologists, change managers, and diffusion theorists will find
practical value in this book.
