Summary

This dissertation draws on the perspectives of nearly 2000 faculty from around the world to determine significant trends in how professors view teaching and research. At colleges and universities throughout the world, there are professors who devote the lion's share of their time toward research activities, and other professors prefer teaching. Using data collected by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's international survey of the academic profession, this study found that there are international similarities in how teaching-oriented faculty view higher education differently that their research-oriented colleagues, particularly regarding their perspectives toward the assessment of teaching and the international dimensions of higher education.
