How Faculty and Students See the Educator's Primary Role
Eduardo V. Lopez; Rocio Lopez Fontela
About Campus, v29 n1 p45-50 2024
As a generational turnover is impacting higher education with new perceptions, viewpoints, and ideas replacing the old ones, this article addresses the effect of the age gap between faculty and students. Two parallel surveys with 200+ undergraduate students and 40+ faculty were conducted, posing the question, "In your view, what is the educator's primary role?" The findings show that the visions of faculty and students are diametrically opposed; while faculty saw the primary role of the educator as "Developing higher-order thinking skills," students saw the primary role of the educator as "Fostering student development and personal growth."
