Dear educators, I ran across a great teaching resource this past week when visiting a colleague on an unrelated matter and so a pleasant surprise. It is the Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education. According to its website, the DSJIE is a "peer-reviewed journal published by the Decision Sciences Institute. Its mission is to publish significant research relevant to teaching and learning issues in the decision sciences. The decision sciences is the union of the quantitative and behavioral approaches to managerial decision making, encompassing all of the functional areas of business, including (but not limited to) accounting, business strategy and entrepreneurship, economics, finance, international business and globalization, marketing, MIS/DSS and computer systems, organizational behavior/organizational design, operations and logistics management, quantitative methods and statistics." And although you do not see the words "culinary arts and hospitality education" in the description the copy I am reviewing makes it clear that much of what is contained in the articles can be applied to our respective programs.
The issue I ran across is the latest one published in July 2008 (Volume 6, number 2). There are articles classified under "Homework and Assignments," "Use of Games," and "Use of Simulation." Some of the articles under homework and assignments in the issue are, "Teaching Brief: Engaging Students in Statistics," "Teaching Brief: Creating a Learning Environment." This appears to be a great resource that I plan to read as each issue comes out to improve the quality of my teaching and hope it proves to be a great resource for those of you who choose to read or perhaps submit a paper for review, too.
