“…In this paradigm, departments are recognized as socially constructed organizations enmeshed in larger institutional, educational, professional, and social cultures. When faculty members come together to discuss matters of curriculum evaluation and renewal, they bring with them a set of values, ideologies, and assumptions based on their contextualized experiences (Pittendrigh, 2007).…”

This article discusses a 1-yr evaluation study of a master of science in occupational therapy program to examine curriculum content and pedagogical practices as a way to gauge program preparedness to move to a clinical doctorate. Faculty members participated in a multitiered qualitative study that included curriculum mapping, semistructured individual interviewing, and iterative group analysis. Findings indicate that curriculum mapping and authentic dialogue helped the program formulate a more streamlined and integrated curriculum with increased faculty collaboration. Curriculum mapping and collaborative pedagogical reflection are valuable evaluation strategies for examining preparedness to offer a clinical doctorate, enhancing a self-study process, and providing information for ongoing formative curriculum review.

Other techniques used to promote curriculum integration include writing across the curriculum, critical thinking, and increased computer usage.…”

Colleges of business are typically formed around functional divisions like accounting, finance, management, and marketing. This discipline-based structure serves to convey basic information to the students, but it is poorly suited to provide an educational experience that integrates the functional areas into a holistic framework. Efforts to refine the educational process have met with limited success due to the tendencies of organizations and their members to resist change. A new design for the structure and management of colleges of business is necessary if todays schools are to be better able to meet the needs of tomorrows students.

“…Some projects have explored the underpinnings of dialogic processes in different settings within universities (Pittendrigh 2007) and in collaboration with neighbourhoods (Miller and Hafner 2008). Other studies have focused on analysing the cooperation between policy makers and communities (Anyon 2008) and on how policy making has been formulated, drawing on empirical evidence (Honig and Coburn 2007).…”
