Description
Summary:Radical changes in teaching methods combined with the impact of the world wide web and the perceived need to make greater uses of the computer in education place the new faculty member at a considerable disadvantage. The TV generation of students find that it is no longer satisfying for a teacher to profess through stand-up lectures and expectations of self-initiated activities on the part of the learners. Additionally, a new topic needs to infiltrate the computer science curriculum, a topic that is not in the general repertoire of future faculty. This topic combines studies of ethical, social, and professional responsibilities with the other elements of the field. This paper proposes a curriculum for future faculty workshops to prepare new faculty to serve their departments.
