Higher Education’s Civic Mission
Democracy has to be born anew in each generation and education is its midwife.
– John Dewey (1916)
The involvement of faculty in preparing students for their role as active citizens is one of the most significant and challenging aspects of the college civic engagement movement …. Faculty members are key in helping students understand the social contributions to be made by every discipline.
– Elizabeth Hollander (2007)

Research Questions
How, if at all, does faculty participation in the Public Scholarship Associates influence their teaching-related learning and/or practice?
How, if at all, do faculty members align their undergraduate courses and teaching practices with their implicit and/or explicit ideas about civic engagement as an educational purpose?

Theory Development: Proposition 1
Proposition 1
Content influences on course planning, specifically views of the academic field and beliefs about educational purpose, are dynamic rather than stable.
![Page 13: TEACHING FOR CIVIC CAPACITY AND ENGAGEMENT : How Faculty Align Teaching and Purpose IARSLCE 2011 | CHICAGO Jennifer M. Domagal-Goldman | November 3, 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b4826f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Theory Development: Proposition 2
Proposition 2
A reciprocal relationship exists between content and context elements of the contextual filters model.
![Page 14: TEACHING FOR CIVIC CAPACITY AND ENGAGEMENT : How Faculty Align Teaching and Purpose IARSLCE 2011 | CHICAGO Jennifer M. Domagal-Goldman | November 3, 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b4826f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Theory Development: Proposition 3
Proposition 3
Local contexts can be catalysts for faculty learning, as well as influences on course form.
![Page 15: TEACHING FOR CIVIC CAPACITY AND ENGAGEMENT : How Faculty Align Teaching and Purpose IARSLCE 2011 | CHICAGO Jennifer M. Domagal-Goldman | November 3, 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b4826f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Theory Development: Proposition 4
Proposition 4
Planning for civic engagement courses is influenced by perceptions of institutional mission, particularly perceptions of what counts for promotion and tenure.
![Page 16: TEACHING FOR CIVIC CAPACITY AND ENGAGEMENT : How Faculty Align Teaching and Purpose IARSLCE 2011 | CHICAGO Jennifer M. Domagal-Goldman | November 3, 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b4826f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Theory Development: Proposition 5
Proposition 5
Once faculty have decided to incorporate community engagement into a course, subsequent course decisions are influenced by that community’s characteristics and needs.

Future Research
Continue to extend and refine the Contextual Filters Model by studying course planning in different: Institutional settings Faculty populations Course levels & types
Conduct longitudinal or ethnographic studies of faculty course planning and teaching for civic purposes
Develop assessment tools for evaluating civic learning
![Page 19: TEACHING FOR CIVIC CAPACITY AND ENGAGEMENT : How Faculty Align Teaching and Purpose IARSLCE 2011 | CHICAGO Jennifer M. Domagal-Goldman | November 3, 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b4826f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Implications for Institutional Practice & Policy
Pay attention to rhetoric and reality Allocate institutional resources Prepare future faculty members Forge partnerships across the institution
and with local communities Consider position descriptions and
contracts Revisit promotion and tenure policies
