Heterogeneous Classroom Ahead: Enter At Own Risk, Richard D. Peterson

Educational Considerations

Experienced educators sometimes forget how a first-year teacher feels in trying to cope with new and complex responsibilities. For Mr. Peterson, keeping communications open proved a major key to learning - for his students, and for himself.

Mbo And Performance Appraisal, Robert E. Chasnoff

Educational Considerations

High student motivation, growing self knowledge, and encouragement of innovation are all features of the intern program Dr. Chasnoff describes. He also points out that a major factor in its success is its humanistic setting.

Communication Deficiencies From Chimp To Child, John H. Hollis, John K. Carrier Jr.

Educational Considerations

Equating speech with language is a fallacy, declare these authors. They describe a "plastic word" non-speech response approach that "opens a whole new vista for teaching the language-deficient child" to communicate.

Moral Growth: Some Educational Implications, Robert P. Craig

Educational Considerations

As a condition of moral education, each member of a school - including every student - has "responsibility for involvement in the decision-making process. Decisions are to be made by consensus and not by majority," this author suggests. Given current school and power realities, his points are provocative.

General Education: Image And Reality, Paul Bernstein

Perspectives (1969-1979)

What, then, are the conclusions to be drawn for the future of general education in an open society?

1) If general education is to help our students achieve greater wisdom, departments must react in a less threatened manner. However, in the current educational climate, the legitimate needs of general education programs are not likely to prevail over departmental territoriality in very many institutions.

2) General education offerings clearly need more administrative support in an era which has come to exalt professional development as the sine qua non to success. As the Levine and Weingert study implied, this should be in …

Between Scylla and Charbydis the Perils of False Dichotomy

An Education Of The Heart, Richard R. Williams

Perspectives (1969-1979)

It is simply amazing that in times such as these there are still general educators worrying over what to do to behave like one. I strongly suspect, furthermore, that the largest worriers are those who insist that any education worth its weight must be painfully extracted from existing disciplines and refashioned (i.e., "generalized") to meet the needs of a so-called liberal arts program. The principal oversight in such approaches lies in mistaking things which, on the one hand, occur with the greatest frequency for those which, on the other, are of general importance to life and experience. It is in …

Recycling The Humanities Faculty: The Momentary Memoirs Of A Star-Trekking Pilgrim To The Ruins Of Troy, Bryan Lindsay

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Reading back over that I find myself feeling strangely in the face of fiction. Not so, though, I promise you. The quotes are paraphrased, granted, since I don't have total recall, but the style, the content, the interest and dedication are all there. This is the recycling of the Interdisciplinary Humanities faculty at Converse. It might also be considered as the reorienting of the Humanities students at Converse, if they were aware of another humanities prior to this. Most of them find the Contemporary Humanities, or Interdisciplinary Humanities, a new ball of wax, and they are to a man ( …

Using Small Groups In Undergraduate Teaching, Francis Gross Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

An old man once told me when I was a student of philosophy at St. Louis University, "Francis, never trust a successful teacher." A very successful college professor of mathematics once told me later, "Most teachers talk too God damned much." I have puzzled over these seemingly strange comments on teaching for the past twenty years. They are the genesis of this paper.

With regard to the "successful" teacher, Herbert Kelman sheds some light on why it is possibly a very bad idea to be successful.¹ He identifies three models of social influence on opinion change--compliance, identification, and internalization. …

Lifelong Education And General And Liberal Studies, Mildred B. Erickson

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Annual meetings of learned groups provide individuals with an opportunity to examine their purposes and ideas and to find challenge, support and renewal among their colleagues. In the October Association for General and Liberal Studies annual meeting we are examining two concepts and their interrelationships-lifelong education and general and liberal studies. The conference itself is an experiment in lifelong, continuing, recurrent education. While neither movement is new, each is in a position for strong revival. The conscientious professor who must face nine to twelve classes each week has long recognized the need for recurrent renewal; now the need is being …

The Communication Of Legitimacy, Kenneth E. Boulding

Perspectives (1969-1979)

One of the most important and at the same time most puzzling strands in the great web of society is that which constitutes the legitimacy of human relationships. It is this which makes the difference between the policeman and the bandit, the pretender and the king, the heretic and the orthodox, the bastard and the heir. Without legitimacy, no complex and continuing operation of social life is possible. Social relations become one-shot jobs, single acts of violence or even of exchange, without any continuing pattern. The struggle of rival systems of legitimation is by far the most important conflict in …

General Education Science For Citizens Of An Open Society, Don Weinshank

Perspectives (1969-1979)

How shall we teach general education science to citizens of an open society?

I want to argue that this question does not have an answer. More to the point, it does not have an answer, and any attempt to develop a general education science course for all citizens of an open society is doomed from the outset to be procrustean.

Lifelong And Global Views, John A. Hannah

Perspectives (1969-1979)
