The Challenge To Make Undergraduate Curricula Relevant To Students’ Needs, David S. Pacini, Francis D. Smith

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 3 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

The challenge for the liberal arts curriculum rests in the willingness of its leaders and teachers to again address the existential condition of which we are a part. We must be far more willing to probe the symbolic nature of men, and society, to unearth the dimensions of man for which students crave. We must address ourselves to the presupposition of a culture which is in many ways diffe rent from our own. Liberal arts education must take …

Science As A Liberal Study, James E. Trosko

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 4 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

Many educators recognize that, although elements ( facts, etc.) are needed in order to express or create, these things alone are not enough . Since connections of the mind are probably made from some sources of discipline, the phrase, in and of itself, expresses some truth. However, this facile phrase is too often used to mean the instructor who knows the substance of his discipline extremely well, can use that substance, and that alone, to educate his students. …

Science And Social Relevance, Gerald Holton

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Featured Address presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

Having struggled myself with various experiments in General Education over the years, what I'd like to talk about today are not any of the successes but rather some of the problems, particularly the problems that I see coming to us faster and faster in this business of bringing education in science to students who, many of them, are turning away from science and all it stands for.

A Proposal For Modifying General Studies Science*, Ollin J. Drennan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The dominant thrust of General Studies activities lies in the direction of awakening and deepening the student's individual awareness to the welfare of man-individually and collectively-in the 1970's and beyond.

The State Of The Association For General And Liberal Studies, Horatio M. Lafauci

Perspectives (1969-1979)

To serve the profession thus, the Association must broaden its membership base. First, however, it must broaden the base of involvement by increasing and extending opportunities for direct engagement of the membership at large; second, it must develop and provide services which will be of interest and value to present and potential members; and third, it must be prepared to accept a leadership role in extending and refining the processes of general-liberal education and undergraduate teaching.

Anatomy Of An Anatomy Cult, Claude S. Phillips

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The Sexual Revolution of the last half-century has produced in advanced societies a new curiosity about the varieties of cultural forms dealing with erotic matters. It may be a little surprising, therefore, for our readers to find that there is still a major culture with unusual sexual attitudes and practices which is almost unknown. The Nacirema Tribe, which was discovered by Professor Horace Miner.

Needed For The 1970'S: An Educational Policy For The Social Sciences*, Claude S. Phillips Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The list of efforts at intercultural education is almost limitless. The impact of these efforts has been so meager as to be startling. Conferences are still being convened to study the problem of how to incorporate intercultural studies into the educational system.

Conflict And Change In The Academic Community, Sidney Hook

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The direction of change which holds the greatest promise for deepening, enriching and developing the great humanistic and scientific legacies of university education is by liberalizing the curriculum and processes of teaching and learning in the light of the ideals of the liberal arts tradition. These legacies may stem from the contributions of socially privileged and elite groups of the past. Today our technology makes it possible for all men and women who are willing and able, to partake of them, to contribute to them, and to find meaning and enjoyment in them. The liberal arts tradition is strengthened by …

Only In Our Learning-The Purpose Of An Academic Community, Harris L. Wofford Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The search for truth is indeed the highest purpose of an academic community; it is truth as a question that can make man free. This is the vision without which people perish. Without it, we in our multiversities may win the world but lose our souls. Yet it is this basic idea of a community of scholars that is in clear and present danger.

Science & Technology In Education: What Kind Of A Marriage Is This?, Franklin G. Fisk

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Science as a human activity can help give us answers to adequate technologies in the classroom, but only if the nature of the scientific enterprise is properly recognized for what it is: A human approach to the world of sense experience with certain definite but necessary biases involving the creative use of hypothesis and theory in conjunction with valid generalizations and accurate data. All this is science, man is a part of it, and I firmly believe that science is one of man's most successful attempts to understand the world in which he lives.

The Course Curse, Dale Porter

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The course is the backbone of American higher education. Curricula built around sequences or selections of courses are almost universal in our colleges and universities. Attempts to move outside the course structure are still regarded as experimental or as exceptions to the rule, and their achievements are not generally understood unless translated into the language of course requirements. For example, when students demanded the opportunity for political involvement in the November campaigns, university officials obliged them-with a course. When college teachers think of educational reform they think of changing the content or the scheduling of courses, or at most the …
