Faculty knowledge of adult learning styles as predictors of success in community college preparatory mathematics. - 74 p.

Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Florida, 2007.

Most community college faculty by headcount are part-time. Because of financial shortfalls faced by community colleges, the demand for part-time faculty has increased steadily over the past 30 years. In the Florida Community College System, there are roughly three part-time faculty for every full-time faculty member.

520 $a Most community college faculty by headcount are part-time. Because of financial shortfalls faced by community colleges, the demand for part-time faculty has increased steadily over the past 30 years. In the Florida Community College System, there are roughly three part-time faculty for every full-time faculty member.
520 $a Critics allege that this increasing reliance on part-time instructors impacts the quality of instruction and risks lowering educational quality, yet no evidence exists to support this allegation. There is inconclusive evidence of whether full-time and part-time instructors differ in terms of their use of varied teaching methods in working with adult students, although use of such methods has been shown to be most effective with these students.
520 $a This study investigated the relationship between student persistence in college preparatory mathematics classes and instructor knowledge and application of adult learning principles as established on the Principles of Adult Learning Scale (PALS). Additionally, it investigated the relationship between student persistence in college preparatory mathematics classes and institutional use of part-time faculty.
520 $a This study failed to show a significant difference between full-time and part-time instructors in either their awareness or application of knowledge about adult learning principles and six of the seven subscales; however, there was a statistical difference on subscale 5, Climate Building. The characteristics of climate building are the development of an environment that facilitates learners' exploration, builds self-concept, and develops problem-solving abilities and social skills without fear of failure. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in student persistence or success when taught by full-time or part-time instructors.
