Excerpt

For too long, college and university faculty have focused their instructional efforts on their own teaching performance. As a result, faculty have paid insufficient attention to ways they might successfully encourage students' motivation and self-confidence (Barr & Tagg, 1995). Because the undergraduate attrition rates in science and engineering are high for both women and men (National Science Foundation, 1996), there is particular concern that teaching methods still prevalent in these fields may alienate students (Adelman, 1998).
