Leadership For Learning: Narratologic Pedagogy And Knowledge Construction In Higher Education, Susan M. Mccabe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Leadership and learning are human activities occurring within an interpersonal, social context. This study was concerned with rendering the lived experiences of leaders and learners as intelligible, allowing for understanding of factors affecting knowledge construction and learning in higher education settings. The individual, personal experiences of teachers and learners were explored in order to identify factors that can be influenced by teacher leadership. Phenomenology was the philosophical and methodological structure of this study. Fifty-two nursing students enrolled in a senior level course at a regional state university participated in the study, as well as the two course co-teachers. All participants …

Organisational Effectiveness In Higher Education : Towards An Operational Definition, James S. Pounder
Organisational Effectiveness In Higher Education : Towards An Operational Definition, James S. Pounder
Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies Working Paper Series
Although organisational effectiveness is central to organisational theory and practice, researchers continue to debate its meaning. In measurement terms, there is no generally agreed operational definition of organisational effectiveness. However, a Competing Values Framework or Model (Quinn & Rohrbaugh 1981,1983) has been proposed as “a general paradigm of organisational effectiveness" (1 981, p.139) yet the applicability of the Model to higher educational organisations has never been tested. This paper describes the development of a construct valid and reliable instrument for measuring the organisational effectiveness of higher educational organisations in Hong Kong. The method of development tested the relevance of the …

The Myths And Justifications Of Sex Segregation In Higher Education: Vmi And The Citadel, Cynthia Fuchs Epstein
The Myths And Justifications Of Sex Segregation In Higher Education: Vmi And The Citadel, Cynthia Fuchs Epstein
Publications and Research
Access to higher education, particularly to the specialized and elite education that is part of the tracking system leading to prestigious and highly remunerative positions, is a measure of equality. This article argues that segregated schooling for women limits their access to the same educational and associational opportunities men have, and that arguments supporting segregation are based on unsound criteria. It further argues that whatever the intent or ideological underpinning of such arguments, they ultimately have a negative outcome for women’s equality in society.

Shared Consequences: Recent Experiences With Outreach And Community-Based Learning, Judith A. Ramaley
Shared Consequences: Recent Experiences With Outreach And Community-Based Learning, Judith A. Ramaley
Higher Education
Recently, William M. Sullivan asked "whether [higher education] has the ability and the will to respond through leadership, institutional design, teaching, and research, in creating a new form of intellectual life for the public good" (Sullivan 1996). A call has been issued for our nation's research universities to embrace public engagement (Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities 1996), and to acknowledge that "higher education should be about values - the values of informed citizenship, the values expressed in a sense of responsibility ... "(Atwell 1996).

If we want our students to acquire the democratic virtues of honesty, tolerance. empathy. generosity. teamwork, and social responsibility, we have to demonstrate those qualities not only in our individual professional conduct but also in our institutional policies," writes Alexander Astin in "What Higher Education Can Do in the Cause of Citizenship"' (Chronicle of Higher Education, October 6, 1995).

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

Organizational Structures For Community Engagement, Sharon Singleton, Deborah Hirsch, Cathy Burack
Organizational Structures For Community Engagement, Sharon Singleton, Deborah Hirsch, Cathy Burack
New England Resource Center for Higher Education Publications
In a time of public scrutiny of higher education, there is good reason - both for the survival of the campus and the survival of the community around it -- for institutions to promote outreach. Yet even within those institutions with formal structures -- mission statements, faculty handbooks, and presidential leadership that support community service -- the practical considerations -- work assignments, evaluation mechanisms and institutional rewards -- present real challenges. Service-enclaves are structures that exist or are developed within institutions that allow faculty and staff to work collectively as they serve their communities. While individual service work is no …

Graduate Secretaries : The Politics Of Course Titles And Career Choices In A University Setting : Results Of A Research Project, Kaye Harrold
Research outputs pre 2011
Secretaries, typists, stenographers, personal assistants and word processing operators comprise approximately 10% of the female work force in Australia. Add to this the other 'categories' of receptionist and office assistant and the number increases markedly.
Yet 'secretaries' hold no status within the work force, there are fewer career paths, few job descriptions and little opportunity for recognition of the fact that industry and business could not function without their knowledge and skills.
Secretaries with tertiary qualifications have been in the Australian work force since 1972. What career opportunities were open to tertiary qualified secretaries? Did they receive the recognition and …
Increasing Postsecondary Enrollments In Maine: Changes Needed In Higher Education Policies, David L. Silvernail
Increasing Postsecondary Enrollments In Maine: Changes Needed In Higher Education Policies, David L. Silvernail
Maine Policy Review
Why does Maine rank so low in higher education participation? What factors may be influencing whether Maine citizens pursue education beyond high school? Much of the debate to answer these questions has focused on students and described the problem as a lack of aspirations. David Silvernail provides another look at this issue. While student aspirations are important, Silvernail suggests that factors related to Maine's higher education system also may contribute to the problem of low enrollment. He compares Maine to six peer states and finds that for a number of factors such as cost and program accessibility, Maine ranks poorly. …
