The U.S. Military As An Informational Environment, Eric C. Jones Jan 1999

The U.S. Military As An Informational Environment, Eric C. Jones

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

The historical development of military organization in the United States has been strongly influenced by the desire to make more precise information available to decision-makers at appropriate levels in the chain of command for national security and warfare. By placing the U.S. military in national and international contexts, this paper proposes that its historical development results from the complex informational needs critical to the political-economic evolution of the State. Specifically, technology, strategy, chain of command and battlefield tactics increasingly require improvements in information quantity, quality and analysis.

Criticizing The Schools: Then And Now, Benjamin Levin Aug 1998

Criticizing The Schools: Then And Now, Benjamin Levin

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Schools in many countries are facing intense and elevated levels of criticism, with much debate over whether the criticism is merited. Much of the criticism embodies a view that things used to be better years ago, when schools were not prey to the many defects they are alleged to show today. Recollections of the past may hide a mixed reality. In this article, criticisms of education from 1957 are compared with contemporary criticisms.

Planting Land Minds In Common Ground: A Review Of Charles Glenn's Review Of Short Route To Chaos, Stephen Arons Jan 1998

Planting Land Minds In Common Ground: A Review Of Charles Glenn's Review Of Short Route To Chaos, Stephen Arons

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Arons responds to what he considers to be Glenn's misrepresentations of the tone and content of Short Route To Chaos. He writes that Glenn "appears to be attempting to construct the book's message into just one more salvo fired in the endless school wars. It is anything but....Reading Glenn's review, one is left with the impression that the book is a Christian-bashing, left-leaning, work of communitarian fuzziness in which a legal scholar unaccountably refuses to confine himself to ... technical explication of existing constitutional doctrine." ...

Cultural Differences And The Construction Of Meaning: Implications For The Leadership And Organizational Context Of Schools, Robert A. Peña

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The relationships between student achievement, student culture and practitioners' attitudes and expectations were investigated. Student achievement was defined as academic performance but also included perceptions, rationales and explanations for student behaviors and conduct. Student culture described student's Mexican American origins, customs and beliefs. Practitioners' attitudes described how middle school personnel perceived Mexican American high and underachieving students generally, and practitioners' expectations described how personnel interacted and behaved toward Mexican American students. ...

Integrative Paths To The Past: Paleoanthropological Advances, Pamela R. Willoughby Nov 1995

Integrative Paths To The Past: Paleoanthropological Advances, Pamela R. Willoughby

KIP Articles

F. Clark Howell retired from the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley in 1991. At Berkeley, and earlier while at the University of Chicago, he was responsible for training a number of specialists in human biocultural evolution, or palaeoanthropology. In fact, Howell is credited with developing the concept of palaeoanthropology (and defining the term itself); he certainly created the framework for this integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to human evolution. For his retirement, former students and colleagues collaborated to produce this volume. Some of the papers were presented at a one day symposium reviewing the highlights of Howell's career along …

Brave New Reductionism: Tqm As Ethnocentrism, Dionysios Dennis May 1995

Brave New Reductionism: Tqm As Ethnocentrism, Dionysios Dennis

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

At century's end, practices at institutions of higher education are regularly subjected to a numbing array of stresses. Under the umbrella of fiscal austerity, intensified regimes of surveillance, in the form of corporatist management philosophies such as Total Quality Management (TQM), have been widely imposed. TQM proponents now advocate the total managementof human thought and identity. In a blatantly econometric and ethnocentric discourse where human variability is a "virus" to be "eliminated" under a war metaphor, nothing less than the future of independent intellectual work is at stake. This essay primarily explores how the theoretical roots and contemporary tropes of …
