Focused Graduate Education: An Invisible But Real Competitive Edge, Roland D. Kankey, Jan P. Muczyk, Neal M. Ely

Faculty Publications

The future mission of the Air Force will be diverse and complex. Advanced technology will play an increasingly prominent role; a smaller force must accomplish more. To support this mission, our acquisition corps must be intellectually capable, well educated and trained. Focused graduate education will be essential to sustain this effort.

Alternative Conceptions Of A Structure For Interconnectedness, Carmen Montecinos Jan 1997

Alternative Conceptions Of A Structure For Interconnectedness, Carmen Montecinos

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Before we can help others "understand our interconnectedness," we ourselves must be aware of the social, political, and economic structure of the network(s) we seek to build. Following a framework developed by Riane Eisler and David Loye (1990), two contrasting understandings of the "world order" entailed in the construction of global interconnectedness will be outlined. The first approach involves a hierarchical structure, and the second approach involves an egalitarian partnership. These two models involve radically different assumptions, social practices, and consequences.

People who understand global interconnectedness from these approaches mean something quite different when they say "One is the only …


Art, Education, And The Bomb: Reflections On An International Children’S Peace Mural Project, Tom Anderson Jan 1997

Art, Education, And The Bomb: Reflections On An International Children’S Peace Mural Project, Tom Anderson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

As a community muralist (T. Anderson, 1985) and contextualist I believe that the purpose of art is communication from one human being to another about things that count (R. Anderson, 1990; Dissanayake, 1988; Lippard, 1990). This does not mean that we disregard the aesthetic component—the “wonder”—in an artwork. Rather, it implies that the aesthetic serves an extrinsic function beyond its supposed raison d’être. That function, which is usually both prosaic and symbolic, is to serve as a marker that in some way defines the people who make, use, and view artworks or aesthetically framed objects (R. Anderson, 1990). Art is …

Helping People Develop A Global Perspective, Leander Brown Jan 1997

Helping People Develop A Global Perspective, Leander Brown

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

In the 1996 Fall issue of the linker, a publication from the Grant Wood Area Education Agency in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Robert Anthony suggested that if we circle all of the articles in our daily newspaper dealing with the world at large we might be surprised by the number of circles covering our paper. He also suggested that if we noted the number of minutes devoted to international news on our favorite nightly network news program, we might again be surprised. Anthony asserted that it is clear that we will be affected by global events throughout our lives and that …


Higher Education In Rural America : A Study Of Northern Plains American Indian And Non-Indian Attitudes, Aspirations, Expectations, And Perceived Barriers, Marta Albertus Brosz Mohr Jan 1997

Higher Education In Rural America : A Study Of Northern Plains American Indian And Non-Indian Attitudes, Aspirations, Expectations, And Perceived Barriers, Marta Albertus Brosz Mohr

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study addresses the need for educational research specific to rural populations of American Indians and their non-Indian neighbors. In order to provide answers to both theoretical and practical questions, a survey was conducted with a random sample of rural residents living within a twenty-five mile radius of a rural, tribal institution of higher education. The structured interviews gathered data regarding attitudes, aspirations, expectations, and perceived barriers. Analyses of the data indicate that this population has strong, positive attitudes toward higher education and aspires to a college education in spite of real and perceived barriers. This study does not support …
