Carnival And Domination: Pedagogies Of Neither Care Nor Justice, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Carnival And Domination: Pedagogies Of Neither Care Nor Justice, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Faculty Publications
There are two alternative projects to overcome domination in education with ethics of justice and ethics of care. I want to look beyond disagreements between the two projects about the essence of morality. Both these projects, from my point of view, have clear limits. The domination is mainly a problem of freedom, and ethics deal with a problem of good and evil. In other words, I suggest that reduction of human evil may reduce domination, but does not free us from it. Other approaches, like carnival and similar cultural phenomena, would do a better job of overcoming domination.
Authenticity-Dialogicality-Recognition, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Authenticity-Dialogicality-Recognition, Alexander M. Sidorkin
Faculty Publications
Charles Taylor has made a remarkable attempt to recover the moral ideal of authenticity as opposed to the debased form of authenticity, that leads to individualism. He points at the dialogical nature of authenticity, and finally, in another work, justifies the need for recognition. I want to show that the middle part of this chain of argument, dialogicality, if properly understood, cannot lead us to recognition in the sense Taylor ascribes to the latter.
Is Geography In R.I. Going Down The Drain?, Ann K. Petry
Is Geography In R.I. Going Down The Drain?, Ann K. Petry
Smolski Texts
"Global Village. World understanding. Political Alliances. Trade agreements. Global warming. Cultural differences. Population growth. Refugees and migration. Declining resources. Environmental degradation. It's a big world and it requires study to address these issues, but here in Rhode Island the one school that turns out the most teachers is dropping the subject that specifically speaks to all these problems--geography."

On Students, Standards, Employers And Jobs, Chester Smolski
On Students, Standards, Employers And Jobs, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent an first national census survey on hiring, training and management practices in business in this country statistically reaffirmed the complaints of business leaders made a decade ago--young people coming out of our schools are not ready nor qualified for the workplace."
Geographically, R.I. Teachers Are Among The Best, Chester Smolski
Geographically, R.I. Teachers Are Among The Best, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Isn't it time that we recognize the good teachers and good work being done in the schools of this state rather than constantly harping on problems with education and how our students don't measure up to those in other countries?"
Providence's Unending Quest For Cash, Chester Smolski
Providence's Unending Quest For Cash, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The mayor of Providence has a big problem. How can he balance a budget that addresses the needs of an increasingly large number of people, yet deal with a declining tax base that is less able to pay for theses extra services?"

Bringing Geography To Life!, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When Gil Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Society, called a meeting of Kit Salter and other geographers from California nearly a decade ago, he had no idea that the discussion would have a profound impact on the teaching of geography in the nation's schools."
The Research Critique Approach To Educating Sociology Students, Rachel I. Filinson, Darek Niklas
The Research Critique Approach To Educating Sociology Students, Rachel I. Filinson, Darek Niklas
Faculty Publications
In recent years, instructors of methods courses have made a repeated plea in pedagogical journals for teaching students research techniques through "doing" or simulating a real project (Ballard 1987; Cutler 1987; Irish 1987; Ransford and Butler 1982; Stoddart 1987; Takata and Leiting 1987; Weiss 1987). Approaches are varied; they include individual, group, or class research projects that generate data for class-specific projects, collect data for external consumption, or use existing data. It is argued that the disembodied knowledge of scientific inquiry presented in the classroom must be supplemented concurrently by an exposure to the actual process of research. Only by …
Multinational Corporate-Investment And Womens' Participation In Higher-Education In Noncore Nations, Roger D. Clark
Multinational Corporate-Investment And Womens' Participation In Higher-Education In Noncore Nations, Roger D. Clark
Faculty Publications
This article posits a theoretical connection between multinational corporate (MNC) investment and women's participation in higher education in noncore nations. It suggests that because MNC investment encourages a "breed-and-feed" ideology for women, the prejudicial hiring of men in high-status occupations, and the lack of state regulation of gender discrimination, its presence skews the demand for higher education away from women. Panel regression analyses of data from 66 noncore and 44 peripheral nations indicate considerable support for this position.
Attacking Geographic Illiteracy, Chester Smolski
Attacking Geographic Illiteracy, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been clearly demonstrated through numerous surveys that US residents are among the most geographically illiterate people in the world. Whether trying to locate our own country or the Soviet Union on a world map, we score among the lowest of the major industrial nations of the world in such a simple exercise. But the future looks brighter, both in the nation and in Rhode Island, thanks to the efforts of the National Geographic Society.
Our Place On The Map, Chester Smolski, Anne K. Petry
Our Place On The Map, Chester Smolski, Anne K. Petry
Smolski Texts
"National Geography Awareness Week (Nov. 11-17) will have special significance for the schools of Rhode Island. The National Geographic Society has just awarded a $1000 planning grant to the two of us, one of such seven awards granted this year, to begin the process by which all of our schools may again bring geography to its full importance in the curriculum."
Student Personality Traits And Values Across Generations, Thomas J. Lavin, Richard W. Prull
Student Personality Traits And Values Across Generations, Thomas J. Lavin, Richard W. Prull
Faculty Publications
To assess possible generational differences in student personailty traits and values, an analysis was conducted of four samples of college freshman who had completed the Omnibus Personality Inventory (OPI) at intervals spanning 1969 through 1987. A linear increase in impulsivity during that period was the strongest of the observed shifts.
Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland all have it--a residency requirement--and so does Providence. Having to live in the city for which you work has been deemed to be an important measure in helping to bring people back into the city, and that was the reason it was included in the 1980 Home Rule Charter."
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Should Providence city employees be forced to live in the city? The Home Rule Charter, adopted five years ago, requires them to do so. The executive secretary of the Providence Teachers' Union states that this requirement should not apply to teachers. But, is dropping the residency requirement the answer to the problem of finding adequate numbers of substitute and full-time teachers?"
Residency And The Charter, Chester Smolski
Residency And The Charter, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When Providence voters approved a home rule charter in 1980, they took a major step forward in choosing their own destiny, rather than relying on the General Assembly to approve many of their actions. To implement the resulting changes, the date for full compliance of the charter was set at 1983. And since that time, newly hired city workers are required to live in Providence."
Education: Catalyst For Work Skills, Chester Smolski
Education: Catalyst For Work Skills, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When Swarthmore College awarded a full scholarship to an indigent teenager it had little idea that Eugene Lang would become a successful New York business executive who would, in time, become a major benefactor to the college. But Eugene Lang is better known for his investment in an even younger group of students at his former elementary school to whom he promised full college scholarships if they would finish high school. And early returns from this group of children, most of who are poor ad minorities, is that they are still attending school and looking to the future."

Savor The Word To Reinforce Vocabulary In The Content Areas, Ezra L. Stieglitz, Varda S. Stieglitz
Savor The Word To Reinforce Vocabulary In The Content Areas, Ezra L. Stieglitz, Varda S. Stieglitz
Faculty Publications
Success in the content area is determined mainly by the degree to which students master important concepts. This grasp of concepts is the major goal of instruction in all the content areas regardless of the modes of presentation such as reading from a textbook, viewing a filmstrip, or listening to a lecture. Along with concept development, the subject matter teacher must recognize the importance of words, whether printed or spoken, to content area learning. Words and content are inseperable. As Allington and Strange (1980, p. 143) state, "identifying a set of key concepts is primarily a task of identifying the …
Why Busing Plans Work, John A. Finger Jr.
Why Busing Plans Work, John A. Finger Jr.
Faculty Publications
The year 1975 has seen a rising opposition to busing for school integration. Advocates of busing are placed in the position of defending the initiation and continuation of busing. Those opposed to busing can have their opposition widely accepted despite the complete lack of analysis of the consequences. Historical injustices against Blacks and minorities are widely known, but much of the public seems unaware of or unconcerned about present injustices and the official acts of discrimination which are still perpetuated.
Academic Motivation And Youth-Culture Involvement, John A. Finger Jr.
Academic Motivation And Youth-Culture Involvement, John A. Finger Jr.
Faculty Publications
The increased pressure for enrolment forces more and more colleges to be selective in their admissions procedures. This selection is customarily achieved through the use of aptitude tests combined with a student's high school record. Students are therefore selected on two bases: intelligence and academic motivation, for high school record is one index of the latter. As a result, admission is denied to students with low academic motivation.
