Integrating A Humanities And Business Education Course: Issues, Problems, And Benefits, Rhea R. Walker

Graduate Research Papers

Since the mid-nineteenth century, higher education, in particular community colleges, has seen an increased demand to serve the training needs of business and industry. Today, business and industry insist their prospective employees be trained in both job-specific skills (hard) and general skills (soft). These soft skills are defined as management, leadership, teamwork, interpersonal communications, problem-solving, decision-making, and adaptability to change skills (Georges, 1988). However, Stephen Wehrenberg simply described soft skills as being purely mental functions (Wehrenberg, 1986). Hence, traditional occupational education methods of teaching only job-specific skills such as keyboarding, drafting, and auto mechanics are being challenged to include soft …

How Grading For Equity Changed The Way I Teach, Andrew Berns, Ben Schafer

Science Education Update Conference Documents

If you are anything like us, you are likely frustrated with the amount of time you spend both grading and then "quibbling" with students about grades - oftentimes in situations that have no real connection with classroom learning. Members of the computer science department at UNI have been discussing teaching and learning together for years and we were thrilled to discover the 2019 book Grading for Equity by author and educator Joe Feldman. In it he writes "There is growing awareness that traditional grading practices have become a barrier to meaningful student learning." From this belief he presents a style …

Accessibility Online: All Students Means All Students., Jennifer Bliss, Christopher Like

Science Education Update Conference Documents

Much of the technology around us has been designed for persons with different needs. We can now set an alarm just by asking a device to do so. We can enter stores without touching doors, and read captions for the news on television while listening to music on earbuds. Online curriculum needs to mirror this type of access to give all students the ability to engage with content. Can the visually impaired student in a biology classroom use a microscope? Where are videos with captions for hearing impaired students? Can a student with limited dexterity independently access interactive slides? Deliberate …
