Two Worlds Of Distance Education: The Function Of Access And Technology, Namin Shin

Adult Education Research Conference

In order to further our understanding of distance education as a social practice, this roundtable session suggests two disparate semantic and geographic worlds of distance education: The world that sees distance education as the means to eliminate the barriers to learning opportunities imposed by societal structure, and the world that views distance education as a technology driven form of education.

Literacy For Work: Exploring Dominant Discourses About Work And Literacy In The Everyday Practice Of Adult Literacy Education, Jennifer A. Sandlin

"If You Build Them Up, They Will Stay": The Role Of Recognition And Feedback On Student Retention, James R. Jones

Marketing and Management Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

While such stratagems are certainly well founded, and have achieved varying degrees of success, it may be that a more fundamentally vital area of examination is being largely overlooked, namely the impact of the high school experience. One of the critical problems facing many institutions of higher learning is that of student retention. While this issue is an important one to address across the entire student population, it has become particularly acute as relates to "minority" pupils. Accordingly, many colleges and universities have developed strategies to try to arrest enrollment attrition. These strategies typically include such mechanisms as tracking programs, …

Creative Approaches To Teaching Science In An Honors Setting, Ursula Shepherd

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

There are many reasons to teach science literacy in a University Honors Program. As our program director, Dr. Rosalie Otero, stated when asked why she has made such a strong commitment to incorporating the teaching of science into our program at the University of New Mexico:

It is difficult to envision how one will be able to live effectively in the twenty-first century without having achieved scientific literacy. While every educated person will certainly not be a scientist, every educated person must possess sufficient knowledge of the scientific method and of fundamental concepts of the natural sciences to make informed …

A Biochemist In Honors, Dail Mullins

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

In 1984-quite unlike the depressed protagonist of George Orwell's novel-I found myself happily ensconced as a senior research associate in the department of biochemistry and molecular genetics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). I had received my Ph.D. in biochemistry from the same institution nine years earlier; had left for two years to do a post-doctoral fellowship in the field of cancer biology at Georgetown University and the National Institutes of Health; but had returned to U AB at the invitation of my doctoral mentor, Jim Lacey, to work on a project grant he had been awarded from …

An Nsf -Funded Opportunity For Pre-Service Science Teachers, Lillian Mayberry, Jack Bristol

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

During the fall semester of 1995, a unique partnership opportunity was presented to the Colleges of Science and Education at the University of Texas at EI Paso (UTEP). A National Science Foundation Request for Proposals was received from the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE). It required Colleges of Arts and Sciences and Education to form collaboratives involving the improvement in the preparation of K -12 science and mathematics teachers: A Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation (CETP). Although unknown at the time, this would result in Honors education opportunities for students seeking teacher certification.

A Humanist In Honors: Another Look At Catherine Cater, Paul Homan

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

In 2000 Catherine Cater marks her 55th year of teaching, a career which began in 1945 upon completion of her Ph.D. in English at the University of Michigan. Since 1962 she has taught at North Dakota State University, and although she officially retired from the faculty in 1982, she has continued to teach philosophy, direct humanities tutorials, and advise students on a volunteer basis. When the faculty at NDSU recognized her with the university's most prestigious teaching award, they made note of her role as the embodiment of the teacher-scholar "who has kept alive the tradition of liberal studies at …

Grant Support From The National Science Foundation To Improve Undergraduate Education For All Students In Science And Mathematics, Engineering And Technology, Herbert Levitan

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

The articles in this special issue of the Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council focus on honors courses and programs that include science, mathematics and/or technology education in an innovative way. My objective is to describe a program offered by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education that supports the development of such courses and programs. In addition, I will indicate several reasons why faculty associated with honors programs may be particularly well positioned to submit competitive proposals to this program, as well as particular challenges that proposals from honors programs may face.

A Physicist In Honors, Len Zane

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

I have been asked to provide a retrospective connecting my recent decision to resign as dean of the Honors College at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) with my involvement in NCHC as a proponent for the inclusion of more and better mathematics and science in honors education. My career in honors began in 1985 when I was appointed the first director of UNL V's Honors Program and formally ended this past summer with my return to the Physics Department at UNL V. During the period between the Pittsburgh conference in 1995 and the San Francisco conference in 1996, …

The Curiosity Shop (Or, How I Stopped Worrying About Delta Shapes And Started Teaching), Susan Tomlinson

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

There is a program on the Food Network called "Cooking Live." I happen to be a regular watcher of this very informative show, which is hosted by a personable and knowledgeable chef named Sara Moulton. What sets this particular cooking show apart from the others is that it is less about entertainment than it is about actually teaching the viewer how to make proper pancakes, or how to chop an onion, or how long chicken can marinate safely at room temperature. (I think I remember Sara saying one half-hour, tops, though the FDA says never.) It is a wonderful mix …
