A Holistic Approach To Estimating The Influence Of Good Practices On Student Outcomes At Liberal Arts And Non-Liberal Arts Institutions, Teniell L. Trolian
A Holistic Approach To Estimating The Influence Of Good Practices On Student Outcomes At Liberal Arts And Non-Liberal Arts Institutions, Teniell L. Trolian
Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship
Many higher education administrators and researchers have considered certain "good practices" of institutions as an instrumental way to improve student outcomes. Chickering and Gamson’s (1987) seven principles of good practice has been particularly salient in defining these practices. Often, prior studies only select some of the seven principles for their analysis. Even studies that consider several principles of good practice on student outcomes typically examine the net effect of each principle instead of assessing how these principles holistically influence student out-comes. Using structural equation modeling, we test a basic conceptual framework where we investigate the contribution of the seven principles …
Dreams Of A Motley Graduation Cap: A Proposal For Stand-Up Comedy In Higher Education, David Patterson
Dreams Of A Motley Graduation Cap: A Proposal For Stand-Up Comedy In Higher Education, David Patterson
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
It is said that the most valuable tool an education at a liberal arts university is how it produces well rounded people with a better understanding of themselves and the world around them. To produce people not only aware of current issues, but with the toolbelt needed to assess them and shed new light. If this is true, then I propose that the goals of liberal arts university are synonymous with the goals of a comedian.
In this thesis, I mean to draw ties to the world of stand up comedy and within the world of liberal arts academia. I …

Because in today's global economy, we need to encourage all of our graduates to lead, while also providing them with the skills required to do so.

Liberal Education And Moral Education, Daniel R. Denicola
Liberal Education And Moral Education, Daniel R. Denicola
Philosophy Faculty Publications
Mark Van Doren, the noted literary scholar, once remarked, "The college is meaningless without a curriculum, but it is more so when it has one that is meaningless." Many current critics of undergraduate curricula in America assent to the crucial need for programmatic renewal in our colleges and universities. They bemoan the cookie-cutter sameness in far too many of them. The oddity is that U.S. colleges have long touted their "diversity" while largely holding fast to rather traditional pathways. This illuminating volume goes beyond formulaic nuts-and-bolts recipes for constructing curriculum: it seeks to interpret and analyze the contemporary landscape of …

When Pablo Picasso presented his first cubist paintings to the world, even most educated people thought them hideous and irrational, yet his peers saw them to be ingenious.

Can We Own Art? Or Just Be Its Legal Guardian?, Carla Poindexter
UCF Forum
How can we effectively teach students to be professional artists at a time when some of society’s economic values are so unrealistic? It is true the high-end art market is thriving, but the contemporary art community is arguing whether such outrageous public auctions and private sales are good or bad for art.

Why do people value a painting or drawing? An elementary-school student I know recently answered: “Because when we look at art we can see how the artist felt about things.”

Exploring The Forms And Features Of An Undergraduate General Education Curriculum, Maureen L. Mackenzie Ph.D.
Faculty Works: Business (1973-2022)
Among the largest financial decisions that a person will make, deciding whether to go to college and where to go, are a few of the highest importance. The average yearly cost to attend a four-year private college is $21,235 and to attend a fouryear public institution is $5,491 (2005-06 College Costs 2006). This significant financial investment offers an individual the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge that will last throughout life. More specifically, an undergraduate college education enables an individual to express “thoughts clearly in speech and writing, grasp abstract concepts and theories, and increase their understanding of their world …
The Emergence Of The New American College, Daniel R. Denicola
The Emergence Of The New American College, Daniel R. Denicola
Philosophy Faculty Publications
The story of the "New American College" is about the development of a new kind of institution embodying a set of ideals which may resonate across all of higher education. It begins, however, with the humble matter of institutional taxonomy. How we classify our schools and colleges may seem an unexciting issue, but our classification systems reveal our assumptions, our expectations, and ultimately our values. Recall that a conceptual revolution, a breakthrough, is often presaged by an accumulation of classification problems, an accretion of anomalies, a proliferation of misfits. [excerpt]
