More DescriptionMany members of the lay public view research as an intrusion on the teaching of undergraduate students. In this volume the authors examine this view by focusing on empirical eveidence concerning the relationship between faculty research activity and such facets of their teaching as classroom performance, teaching preparations, the influence of teaching behaviors on student learning, faculty goals for undergraduate education, faculty attitudes and behaviors concerning their interactions with students, pedagogical practices, course assessment activities, norms delinieating inappropriate teaching behaviors, and adherence to good teaching practices.
