Ua3/9/5 Partnerships For Progress: Linking Higher Education & Economic Development, Wku President's Office, Gary A. Ransdell

WKU Administration Documents

Speech delivered by WKU president Gary Ransdell at the National Governor's Association Center for Best Practices. In response to Governor Patton's challenges to create Programs of Distinction and enhance the state's capacity for economic development, we, at Western, have created a series of applied science centers. These centers are directing faculty talent toward creating a relevant curriculum in the sciences, toward solving environmental and material problems which limit economic development, and toward creating practice-based experiences for students. A by-product of these centers is a strengthened core curriculum which brings the applied sciences into focus for all WKU students.

Using A Civil Procedure Exam Question To Teach Persuasion, Sophie M. Sparrow

Law Faculty Scholarship

Studies show that learners master new material more effectively when it builds upon what they already know. By revisiting assignments from a previous semester, students can focus their efforts on persuading, rather than learning new doctrine or facts. Turning a predictive discussion into a persuasive argument demonstrates that making an argument requires the same rigorous thinking as predicting a result. One way to do this is to assign students to write an argument based on their fall Civil Procedure exam.

Review Of Wholeness: On Education, Buckminster Fuller, And Tao, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Author, and visionary, Alex Gerber Jr. has masterfully crafted a treatise that clearly illustrates, for most readers, theories of renowned architect, inventor, author, poet Buckminster Fuller with principles of spirituality found in Tao. In doing so he arrives at a means (education) of achieving harmony (wholeness) with ourselves and the planet. Gerber believes:

Awakening to wholeness may be the single most important event in anyone's life. This fundamental evolution refers to experiencing and valuing the interconnectedness of creation, the oneness of being. The whole, which ecompasses all subjects, experiences, and perceptions, is the arena in which everything occurs, the essential …

Team Learning: A Pilot Study, Brooke A. Whitworth, Robert Evans, Terry Howerton

Publications

Teachers must put effort, creativity, and ingenuity into the science classroom and curriculum in order to ensure the material will remain fresh and interesting for the students and for themselves. In one case an organic chemistry teacher used a “Team Learning” method in order to keep the material stimulating for his students and to overcome some of the difficulties teachers face (Dinan & Frydrychowski, 1995). This experiment in new curriculum involved using teams over the course of a semester to teach the required material.

Dinan and Frydrychowski (1995) found that this method seemed to increase the effectiveness of learning and …

Teaching Nature Journaling And Observation, Clare Walker Leslie

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Nature journaling is hands-on learning at its best. The students are not punching keyboards, responding to questions in a book, or answering questions made up by someone else. They are outdoors, looking at grasses, weeds, ants, earthworms, blue jays, sugar maples, poison ivy, and seeing for themselves connections they never noticed before. The proof of their observation is their own journal page.

Review Of Balance Point: Searching For A Missing Spiritual Link, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

It seems most appropriate that review of a novel is included in this special issue of Taproot devoted to "art" and environmental and outdoor education. As environmental novels go, they probably don't come much better than Balance Point! The book's back cover succinctly conveys this reviewer's assessment:

Rich with a non-religious mysticism and drawing from the astute observations of the world's leading ecological visionaries, Balance Point imparts a disturbing, yet hopeful awareness of the world around us and the universe within us, revealing what may be the route to our planet's, and our own, long-term survival.

The study points to the importance of receiving condensed positive behavioral support information on …

Picture Book Soldiers: Men And Messages, Christina M. Desai

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This study examines children's picture books about soldiers and war, including fiction, folktales, and historical fiction, analyzing their implicit and explicit messages about war and the military, and evaluating them for gender stereotyping. The soldiers are found to conform almost uniformly to an exaggerated male stereotype. Different value judgments about war and conflict resolution are found in the fiction vs. the historical fiction and in the historical fiction about earlier vs. later historical periods.

The Role Of Environmental Analogs In Identifying Potentially Invasive Woody Plants In Iowa, Mark P. Widrlechner

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Americans cultivate a large and diverse range of introduced woody plants as important sources of food and forest products, as well as for urban horticulture, amenity and wildlife plantings, and windbreaks. A small number of these species have become serious pests, disrupting well-established native plant communities or functioning as range and agricultural weeds. More of these species are not serious pests today, but have escaped cultivation and serve as potential sources of future outbreaks. Two other sources of potentially invasive woody plants are found among species that are not or are only rarely cultivated, about which we often know little …
