Measures Of The Adjustment Of Mature-Age, Undergraduate Students To University, Merryn Dawborn-Gundlach, Kay Margetts
Measures Of The Adjustment Of Mature-Age, Undergraduate Students To University, Merryn Dawborn-Gundlach, Kay Margetts
Journal of Global Education and Research
Adjustment to the first year of university involves engaging with the university culture and developing a sense of belonging or attachment. Difficulty making the transition to university can result in students deferring or withdrawing from their courses. While mature-age students experience many of the challenges of all first-year students such as social dislocation, academic anxiety, and unrealistic expectations, they are more likely than school-leaver students to have family responsibilities and time constraints. The ability to manage competing demands on their time can affect their participation in campus-based activities and negatively impact their sense of belonging to the university. This paper …

The Long-Term Outcomes Of Graduates’ Satisfaction: Do Public And Private College Education Make A Difference?, Mingchu Neal Luo, Daniel Stiffler, Jerry Will
Journal of Global Education and Research
The comparison of quality between public and private college education is a topic of intense interest, and one that continues to generate ongoing research.

Results indicated that bachelor’s degree holders from private …
Slow Down And Smell The Eucalypts: Blue Gum Community School And The Slow Education Movement, Stephen J. Smith
Slow Down And Smell The Eucalypts: Blue Gum Community School And The Slow Education Movement, Stephen J. Smith
Journal of Global Education and Research
This paper investigates and analyses the features of a non-mainstream pedagogy, educational context and learning environment by presenting a counter-model which contrasts with the currently dominant educational project, an emergent global educational movement known as the Slow Education Movement. It demonstrates how the associated principles and praxes of a particular ethos and its philosophical foundations guide teaching and learning. Set against the background of the Slow Education Movement, the paper draws on a case study to illustrate some of the foundational principles and practices of that movement. The paper outlines the educational ethos, philosophy, processes and practices of Blue Gum …

Painting A Picture: Understanding Our Student Parent Profile On Campus, Vicki Squires, Jason Disano
Journal of Global Education and Research
Little information or research exists regarding the profile of student parents on campus even though increasingly more non-traditional and mature students access post-secondary education. This study presents information generated through a telephone survey of students conducted by a research lab on one Canadian campus. The purpose of the research was to uncover more information about this student group with the intent that the data would inform the development of guidelines for allocation of additional childcare spaces on campus as soon as a new childcare centre was completed. Better information on their needs as students and parents would be helpful in …
Wangari Maathai The Educator: Straddling Tradition And Modernity, Namulundah Florence
Wangari Maathai The Educator: Straddling Tradition And Modernity, Namulundah Florence
Journal of Global Education and Research
Wangari Muta Mary Jo Maathai’s (April 1, 1940 – September 25, 2011) public image highlights her nationality, her education both in and outside Kenya, her establishment of the Green Belt Movement (GBM) for which she received a Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, and her political activism. Advocates for female empowerment take solace in success stories like Maathai’s rise from a village girl to become a global icon of leadership. Yet, her mobility was more circumstantial than it was deliberate, and is inseparable from the uneasy compromise between the traditional gender roles of her youth with the critical consciousness nurtured in …
