Life Review Process And The Self: A Quasi-Ethnographic Study Of The Elderly, Mark Allen Zappone
Life Review Process And The Self: A Quasi-Ethnographic Study Of The Elderly, Mark Allen Zappone
MALS Final Projects, 1995-2019
This research paper exposes the life review process and illuminates the subjective perspectives on the evolution of the self, via qualitative interviewing techniques/analysis, of six able-minded elderly people (i.e., three females and three males ranging from ninety to ninety five years old) in their natural settings. This quasi-ethnographic investigation is an idiographic, qualitative and brief case/cross-case study research approach with an inductive analysis that complements existing nomothetic, quantitative and deductive theories supporting the actual occurrence of the life review process by the elderly and its "self'-educational value. More specifically, in addition to exposing the life review phenomenon reflected in the …
Northwood School: The Survival Story Of An Educational Jewel In The Adirondacks, Perry Babcock
Northwood School: The Survival Story Of An Educational Jewel In The Adirondacks, Perry Babcock
MALS Final Projects, 1995-2019
Northwood School is an example of a secondary boarding institution whose history mirrors the many changes in private education over the last one hundred years. As was the case with many of these private institutions, Northwood had to contend with the issue of isolation. The school's remote location caused it to evolve its own regional character. The school struggled financially as a not-for-profit institution that relied on tuition revenues and donations to maintain its stature in the competitive boarding school world. Northwood School also found itself challenged to sustain an educational philosophy when its market share dwindled and athletics became …

Technology Education And Integrated Learning For Adult Learners, Karen K. Lawson
Technology Education And Integrated Learning For Adult Learners, Karen K. Lawson
MALS Final Projects, 1995-2019
Adult learning and achievement in technology education can be enhanced through the process of integrated learning, rather than through learning skills in isolation. An integrated learning program helps provide the opportunity for instructors to help their students make connections and form relationships across the boundaries of classroom, discipline, skill, and background. Situated cognition refers to the idea that cognitive processes (including thinking and learning) are located in physical and social contexts. By providing technology education using information contexts (histories, stories, explanations, backgrounds), adult learners can draw on both what they have learned in life and are learning in the classroom.
Anthropogenic Influences On Avian Life, Past And Present, Within The Adirondack Park, Melodee A. Decoteau
Anthropogenic Influences On Avian Life, Past And Present, Within The Adirondack Park, Melodee A. Decoteau
MALS Final Projects, 1995-2019
In the northeastern comer of New York over the last 10,000 years, avian life developed a complex network of niches within the varied ecosystems produced by the retreat of the last glacier. When humans began to dominate the area, beginning around two hundred years ago, avian diversity was compromised. The past and present anthropogenic influences have increasingly intensified the stresses on avian life in the park. If avian diversity is to be preserved, human factions must work together to decrease that stress. The establishment of the Adirondack Park and hunting seasons as well as restrictions on pesticide use have directly …
Detours And Syncopations: In Search Of Lost Time Through The Lens Of "Les Intermittences Du Coeur", Martha Graham Wiseman
Detours And Syncopations: In Search Of Lost Time Through The Lens Of "Les Intermittences Du Coeur", Martha Graham Wiseman
MALS Final Projects, 1995-2019
"Les Intermittences du coeur," a section of Sodom and Gomorrah in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, exposes the raw work of molirning that the Search spirals in on again and again. The section, in which the Narrator through the workings of involuntary memory confronts the stark reality of the loss of his grandmother, recapitulates in both substance and rhythm the counterpoint of many of the central forces of the Search: those of absence and presence, death and survival, isolation and contextualization, unification and fragmentation, dispersal and concentration, the boundaried self and the hazily boundaried consciousness. "Les Intermittences" sets …
