Abstract

Building on work examining differences in the emphasis faculty place on effective educational practices this study uses data from nearly 8000 faculty members from the 2007 Faculty Survey of Student Engagement to explore how disciplinary area moderates the effect of teaching a general education course GEC on the emphasis faculty place on deep approaches to learning Results showed that the GEC effect was strongest in hardappliedlife fields and weakest in hardpurelife and softappliedlife fields suggesting that proponents of general education reform need to temper their efforts by a clearer understanding of disciplinary differences
