The Teacher's Role In Liberal Education, James Redfield

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Liberal Education does not concern itself with the process by which people come to be able to do what is required of them; liberal education is the process by which people come to be excellent. Servile education makes a man useful to other people; liberal education makes him satisfactory to himself.

Is Lip Movement Really So Bad?, Blanche Phyllis Zink

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Few issues concerned with the complex art of teaching reading have remained controversial for as long as the topic of lip movement during silent reading. Educators do not seem to be in agreement concerning this phenomenon which most teachers in the elementary school have observed. Some reading specialists support the theory that lip movement may be an aid to comprehension in the lower grades, but that it may be a deterrent to comprehension in the intermediate grades. Other specialists, who are equally gifted in the diagnosing and handling of reading problems, feel that lip movement is a desirable, developmental learning …

Case Studies Of The Influence Of Reading On Adolescents, Fehl L. Shirley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In a study of the impact of reading on the concepts, attitudes, and behavior of adolescents, it was found that students exhibited varying responses from ambiguous, general, indifferent reactions to highly significant dimensions of self-involvement. Some subjects stated that no specific selection had influenced their concepts, attitudes or behavior; the responses of these students were frequently vague and appeared to disclose an indifferent attitude toward reading. On the other hand, the verbalizations of others appeared to reveal empathy and intense participation in their reading which, sometimes, led to reoriented goals and actions implementing these goals.

The University And Social Change, Rudolf J. Siebert

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Social change remains a most dramatic and most difficult challenge - a challenge which has to be faced. The academic community must face it, not only theoretically and practically inside of the university as an institution, but in its social and cultural environments as well.

How The Younger Generation Is Being Corrupted, Henry Winthrop

Perspectives (1969-1979)

A brief synopsis of this cesspool of corruption; and so doing, I can serve in a small way to help the undergraduate to steer clear of the baneful intellectual and cultural influences to which he may be subjected during his four years at college.

On Some Aspect Of An Integrated General Education*, Martin Levit

Perspectives (1969-1979)

For many proponents, the educational reforms instituted by the general education movement were intended to represent or make possible social reforms. They were designed to develop capable and concerned social critics and reformers, people who had not merely a specialist's, niche-filler's, or functionary's, view of society but, also had embracive concerns and a comprehensive view of the social structure.

An Environment For Environmental Studies, John Freund

Perspectives (1969-1979)

If we think of a liberal education as one which seeks to provide human beings with a means for realizing their humanity, we must recognize immediately that our educational institutions are completely out of it. It is not just that they aren't doing the job. They are in another ball park, playing a duller-and dirtier-game.

One of the rules of the game they are playing is that everyone must pretend that whatever is going on constitutes a liberal education. This doesn't really fool very many people, but it introduces so many irrelevancies into any discussion of the matter that coming …
