Doctoral Dissertations

This qualitative study examined character education within one educational setting.

Brief 9: Practices And Policies For Dealing With Students With Mental Health Issues, New England Resource Center For Higher Education, University Of Massachusetts Boston

New England Resource Center for Higher Education Publications

One of higher education’s crowning achievements is that colleges and universities are currently educating many groups of people who have been denied access to this resource in the past. A growing percentage of the new population of students arrives on campus with unique mental health needs, which until now campuses have been largely unprepared to accommodate. This new student profile may be more familiar to Student Affairs’ offices, but the educational implications extend to the whole campus. Members of NERCHE’s Student Affairs Think Tank discussed this topic at one of their meetings and offer the following insights.

Promoting Curiosity Through Students’ Questioning, Harcharan Pardhan, Sadia Muzaffar Bhutta

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

Asking questions is central to intellectual effort; it is instrumental in bridging the gap between the known and the unknown. Questioning existed even before the time of Greek philosopher Socrates and still prevails in classrooms. Questioning is a major teaching and learning strategy for teachers in Pakistan. Unfortunately, teachers’ questioning overrules students’ questioning, leaving neither space nor time to create an interactive environment that promotes curiosity and meaningful learning. Using an innovative approach, we attempted to implement students’ questioning in an upper primary science classroom. The encouraging findings of our study and their implications are discussed in this article.

Postcards From The Past: Depaul University

Vincentian Studies

A brief history of DePaul University is accompanied by nine images.

People Of The Scarred Coin, Thomas F. Mckenna C.M., S.T.D.

Vincentian Studies

In Vincent de Paul’s metaphor, persons who are poor are like badly scarred coins; they have their humanity on one side and Christ’s face on the other. We are to see God in them and that is “the basis of human dignity.” This also motivates Vincentian work in education. As Thomas McKenna writes, education “nourishes” dignity, both by teaching poor persons themselves and “by sensitizing everyone else to their dignity and worth.” McKenna emphasizes the need for Vincentian institutions to exercise transparency, or simplicity, as Vincent called it and explains transparency’s particular application to education.
