Shelley A.
Chapman, Ph.D. is the Vice
President for Academic Services and Interim Dean of the School of Business
at Southern Wesleyan University. She served as founder and director of the
Center for Teaching and Learning at Johns Hopkins University from 2000-2007.
While at JHU, she also coordinated the Graduate Certificate Program for
Adult Learning and regularly taught graduate courses in Adult Learning
Theory, Assessment, Curriculum Design, and Leadership in Higher Education.
She was Coordinator of Academic Services at Community College of Baltimore
County, Catonsville from 1992-2000, where she also taught developmental
reading courses. Her research focuses on investigating how the hidden
assumptions, beliefs, and values of students and faculty influence learning.
Particularly, she has focused on integrating transformative learning theory
with deliberative curriculum theory to create a new process model for
curriculum development that targets transformative learning. Shelley earned
her doctorate in Leadership and Change from Antioch University.
The word “theory” derives from Greek root
words that mean “viewing,” “spectator,” or literally, “looking at a show.”
This presentation will provide an opportunity to “look” at three different
sets of theories, in the same way that you might view a theatre production
and feel moved in a particular way. It is hoped that the interactive
discussion about these theories will provide you with new insights to inform
your daily practice for the classroom. |
