General Education: Let's Be Specific!, C. Edwin Howard

Perspectives (1969-1979)

To many of those who have been vitally interested in the advancement of General Education over a period of years , it seems that much has been written, and more said, of the philosophy of General Education but considerably less about the specifics of its implementation. It is without question that the philosophy of general studies is essential to the planning of an educational program. Also, few would deny the necessity for the continuous promulgation of that philosophy. But for those who have accepted the general philosophy of General Education, whether long ago or recently, there is the continuing and …

The University As Asylum, Francis L. Gross Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The word "asylum" has indeed a variety of meanings. It is an ambiguous term. It has been used to denote both places of confinement for mentally unbalanced folk as well as a sanctuary affording security and protection for those in need. The purpose of this essay is to see the large state university as a sanctuary for young people. It is primarily concerned with undergraduate students as persons undergoing crises of identity. It seeks to clarify strategies and goals for professors in dealing with these students. The ambiguity of the term "asylum" suggests, however, the possibility that the large state …

General Education: A Learner's Viewpoint, Eugene Wine

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Most of the articles we read about general education are written by those who either teach or administer some kind of general education program. I think it might be valuable to know the viewpoint of someone who has been trying to educate himself generally throughout a lifetime.

The interdisciplinary courses which many schools now have seem to me to be a great improvement over the general education program which prevailed in my undergraduate days , which was the still quite prevalent one of a certain number of credit hours in the various academic divisions. My feeling is, however, that one …

Self-Defeating Characters, Milton R. Cudney

All Books and Monographs by WMU Authors

For some time I have been aware of a need to have additional ways of helping people open up to see what they do to defeat themselves. The need is to help people see, and honestly face, what they do to bring about defeating results in their lives. When people can see what they do to defeat themselves, they are in a better position to make non-defeating choices. The various characters in this book have been created by me to serve as vehicles to fulfill this need. The characters themselves do not represent real individual people, but the information contained …

Evaluation Research And Evaluation: Scientific Social Reform Movement And Ideology, Michael Baizerman

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The idea that human services programs should be evaluated is accepted by most practitioners and researchers. Discussion is about the technical aspects of this research and about how practitioners can be encouraged to utilize evaluative findings in their everyday practice. Emphasis is placed also on the organizational barriers to this utilization. These ideas and issues are found in a growing literature in the social sciences and, increasingly, in the even faster growing literatures in the professions and in the human services, including the social services, medical and health services, criminal justice and the like.

Here, evaluation research is discussed from …

A Good Teacher And An Eclectic Approach: The Hopeful Answer To Successful Reading Instruction, Maria Luisa Alvarez Harvey

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The sinking feeling that "Johnny can't read" has developed from an unpleasant suspicion to an ugly reality of alarming dimensions and implications. Not only are our methods of reading instruction under scrutiny and attack, but so are our teachers themselves and, to some extent, so is our entire system of American education as it now firmly and shakily stands.
