Bibliographic Instruction: The Need To Edutain, Daniel G. Kipnis

Academic Commons and Scott Memorial Library Staff Papers and Presentations

In response to the article in the Winter 2001 LOEX Newsletter, “Making Student-Friendly Instruction: Education or Edutainment?” a distinction was made between “our need to educate” and “our students’ desire to be entertained.” No one is denying the fact Mr. Bridges’ argument that “knowing how to do research, learning techniques for note taking or writing a proper footnote or bibliography is a serious exercise.” But I question the tone and need for strictly traditional methods in teaching these skills to the “modern student” expressed in the article.

Parenting for Emotional Growth

The PEG Curriculum has 3 distinctive features:

• The curriculum materials extend from the kindergarten level through 12th grade. In a unique collaboration between mental health and …

Parenting For Emotional Growth: Lines Of Development, Henri Parens, Md

Parenting for Emotional Growth

In developing the Parenting for Emotional Growth Textbook, we planned to structure the units in such a way that the same issues, be it the development of self and relationships, of aggression, etc., would be addressed in the same sequence at the various stage levels of the child's development. Thus, in the Textbook, the issues will be ordered in the same sequence in all of the units.

While using the textbook for classroom or workshop preparation or for individual study, some users have sought to follow one or another particular line of development through the length of its …

Parenting For Emotional Growth: Textbook, Henri Parens, Md

Parenting for Emotional Growth

This textbook, on which the Parenting for Emotional Growth Curriculum, Workshops, and Lines of Development are based, is highly detailed and is based in psychodynamic theories that address parenting issues pertinent to optimizing the child's psychological development, mental well-being, and abilities to adapt constructively. The presentation of materials is organized by the rationale that when parents know, understand, and can positively handle the child's evolving emotional and experiential needs and psychological developments, the parents' rearing strategies tend to better optimize their children's developmental potential than when such knowledge, understanding, and handling are lacking. It is exactly because this …
