Introduction To Section One: Collegiate Instruction, Anne Ponder

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Just as Catherine Cater's intellect has never been bounded by a single discipline, field, or approach, these three of her colleagues move well beyond Honors in their contributions to this volume. Wherever Honors flourishes within a college or university, the whole institution is improved by its presence.

The Shock Of The Strange, The Shock Of The Familiar: Learning From Study Abroad, Diane Levy

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

I began writing this as I sat in a borrowed office in the outskirts of London on a strange computer with an unfamiliar keyboard. I blundered my way from my guest house after riding two buses and walking several blocks, London A to Z in hand. Cup of white tea and biscuits by,my side, I find that this is not a bad setting for writing about the adjustments of study abroad.

Learning And Research With Students: The Example Of The Tilton/Beecher Scandal, Carol Kolmerten

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

To read any number of Jeremiads on lithe death of literature" or on "literature lost" lately might make most anyone believe that liberal learning is dead in English departments across the country. The twin evils of feminist scholarship (whose practitioners insist upon social readings of texts) and deconstruction (whose practitioners debunk "timeless truths") have, according to such authors as Alvin Kernan or John Ellis, cheated students out of having a meaningful liberal arts education with old fashioned teachers who love their subject and impart it to their students.

On Discourse, Jim Herbert

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Exactly twenty years ago I bored this conference to desperation with an interminable disquisition on "Smaller Teaching." While I hope that essay helped open the way to larger learning, I must admit now that it was not only too long, but that it fell short of an important truth about the honors classroom. In the intervening two decades, experience in the peer review panels of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the academic advisory committees of the College Board has helped me understand more deeply this central site of honors education-and, I dare say, liberal learning. I hope to …

Leading And Learning In Community, Faith Gabelnick

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Real learning gets to the heart of what it means to be human. Through learning we recreate ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life.
. .. Senge, The Fifth Disciple

When faculty and administrators confront challenges of student persistence rates, cross-disciplinary learning, faculty roles and rewards, student needs for professional and civic education, they often look for "solutions" through curricular innovation. Learning communities, although …

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Just after 9 p.m., I climbed abroad a Continental Trailways bus and stared through green glass as my parents watched the second of their two sons head off to college. Leaving the station, the bus moved into the bayous of south Louisiana along old Highway 90, then over the swamps and across rice and sugar cane fields and on through a night of small towns, finally climbing the Sabine River bridge into Texas, where a mileage marker announced New Mexico 878 miles. That should give any young man enough room.

Liberal Education And The Challenge Of Intergrative Learning, Bernice Braid

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

The 1990 publication of Ernest Boyer's Scholarship Reconsidered was a benchmark occasion. Almost immediately the academy endorsed his document's usefulness as a framework within which to examine, maybe rethink, practices of both institutions and individuals which appeared to reflect a riven enterprise. Boyer's perception that exclusive emphasis on "scholarship" for status and rewards in American colleges was, as the term remained narrowly defined, incompatible with the demands of proliferation and access, and it struck a chord.

Leading A College As A Liberal Arts Practice, Leon Malan, Judith Muyskens, Anne Ponder, Ann Page Stecker

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

A common and rather prevalent model for leading and planning in higher education is a contest of wills optimizing local, current matters. In contrast, at Colby-Sawyer College, we are explicit, careful, and collaborative about working together respectfully on qualitative and institutional and long-term matters. We hope that the model for leadership that we have provided below, one that demonstrates how we make our decisions and conduct our business in a style that differs from academic political business as usual, will serve as a model for other institutions.

Diversity In Reasoning And Rationality: Metacognitive And Developmental Considerations, David Moshman

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

Tasks in the adult reasoning literature are designed so that heuristic processing leads one astray and adequate rule-based processing requires explicit knowledge about applicable logical and quasi-logical norms. Other research, however, indicates that appropriate rule-based inferences can be automatic. Individual differences in rationality are largely due to differences in developmental progress toward metacognitive understanding of both heuristic and rule-based inferences.

Subject Librarians Relations With Faculty At The University Of Botswana: A Review Of Liaison Activities, Edwin Qobose

E-JASL 1999-2009 (Volumes 1-10)

Conclusion

Liaising at the University of Botswana Library (UBL) is at the heart of all subject librarian activities. It is therefore absolutely essential that we make an effort to maintain a liaison program which will ensure effective communication with all the academic departments for all of the library's services. As liaison librarians, we are academic partners, and should actively participate in the promotion of excellent teaching and research activities. By monitoring curricular and research developments in assigned subject fields, subject librarians develop and maintain library collections for their respective faculties. It is vital that we should always be proactive, and …

The Physiologic Development Of Speech Motor Control: Lip And Jaw Coordination, Jordan R. Green, Christopher A. Moore, Masahiko Higashikawa, Roger W. Steeve

Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders: Faculty Publications

This investigation was designed to describe the development of lip and jaw coordination during speech and to evaluate the potential influence of speech motor development on phonologic development. Productions of syllables containing bilabial consonants were observed from speakers in four age groups (i.e., 1-year-olds, 2-year-olds, 6-year-olds, and young adults). A video-based movement tracking system was used to transduce movement of the upper lip, lower lip, and jaw. The coordinative organization of these articulatory gestures was shown to change dramatically during the first several years of life and to continue to undergo refinement past age 6. The present results are consistent …
