Introductory Courses, Student Ethos, And Living The Life Of The Mind, Marshall W. Gregory

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

In considering how curriculum and teaching influence education, it is revealing to note that most faculty members treat curriculum the way bankers treat investments. They generally spend much time, planning, and careful thought on curricular matters--reasoning here, analyzing there, relying on experience, and carefully considering both the long-term and short-term dividends of knowledge--but when it comes to teaching, many faculty members operate less like bankers and more like barnstormers, flying by the seat of their pants and guiding themselves primarily by instinct or by repeating whatever worked yesterday. Few teachers feel that they have either the intellectual or professional grasp …

Using A Jury Simulation As A Classroom Exercise, Robert B. Bennett, Jordan H. Leibman, Richard Fetter

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

The authors' empirical research project considers the effects of differences in actual legal rules on jury decisions and, concurrently, gives business students the opportunity to participate in a realistic jury experience. The project uses actual trial evidence to produce a videotaped simulated trial presentation thereby insuring that the testimony, legal arguments, jury instructions and facts are realistic. To date, approximately 2,000 business students have participated in the simulation, under the supervision of 13 different Academy members at 11 different universities. This article describes the project and its curricular benefits within the context of an introductory course in law.

What We Know About Acquisition Of Adult Literacy: Is There Hope?, Helen Abadzi

Curriculum and Instruction Faculty Publications - Archive

Literacy acquired in childhood positively influences quality of life, but the effects of literacy acquired in adulthood are not well known. Experience shows that literacy is not easily disseminated to adults and that the skills of neoliterates are not stable. Dropouts, mastery, and retention rates are about 50 percent at each stage, so the effectiveness rate of some projects may only be 12 to 15 percent. As a result, literacy projects are now rarely funded by the World Bank despite requests from governments. To find causes for the low effectiveness of programs, two literature reviews were conducted on the topic …

Constructive Behavior Management: Creating Positive Learning Environments, Barbara Townsend Walker, Betty C. Epanchin, Kim Stoddard

Faculty Books

This practical guide for teachers centers on ways to help students manage their own behavior, rather than on ways their behavior can be managed by teachers, peers, parents, or other adults.

Cognitive Psychology In The Seminar Room, Helen Abadzi

Curriculum and Instruction Faculty Publications - Archive

This paper looks at ways for a trainer giving a seminar to increase the chances that participants will retain the material presented and use it in their work. It also looks at the techniques which make information memorable and accessible in the long run. Cognitive research provides some answers. For information to be accessible, it must be learned along with its potential uses so that connections between different sections of networks can be established. To achieve this the trainer should: (a) respect the limitation of human attention and present varied stimuli of intermediate complexity to educated adults; (b) use outlines …
