Abstract
  • The diversity of attitudes held by California community college faculty about Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) was studied. In twelve semi-structured interviews, faculty informants explained how their work has changed as a result of increased standardization and accountability measures, how they value those changes, and how they expect the profession to change in the near future. The results seem to indicate that faculty who have internalized the ideology of managerialism embrace SLOs while those who are skeptical of the accountability measurement find managerial values to be deleterious to faculty professional control and autonomy. Implications for the future of a collegial faculty culture in California's community colleges are discussed, and policy is suggested.
