The Abominable Mystery Of The First Flowers: Clues From Nebraska And Kansas, M. R. Bolick, R. K. Pabian

University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information

The plant fossils found in shales and sandstones of the late Cretaceous age Dakota Group in Nebraska and Kansas figure prominently in the "drama tis plantae" of the long-running and still unsolved mystery of the origin of flowering plants (angiosperms). This mystery has many fans because almost all of the plants that humans depend on for food and shelter are angiosperms; half of the calories in the world's diet come from the grass family alone. The Dakota fossils were discovered by western science more than one hundred years ago during the early stages of geological exploration of the western territories. …

Dissertations

Problem. Despite the numerical growth of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) membership and the number of private and parochial schools, there has not been a corresponding increase in student enrollment in Adventist church schools in British Columbia, Canada. This study investigated possible reasons for this trend through a study of the attitudes of church members toward the support of Adventist education in the province.

Method. The data for this study were gathered using the Adventist Education Opinion Survey (Naden, 1987). The sample was SDA church members in British Columbia who provided 498 usable responses that were analyzed by the use of item …

Relationships Among Selected Internal/External Variables Affecting Decision Making In The Roles/Functions Of Research University Provosts, Haldane F. Davies

Dissertations

Problem

In the business and corporate world, there exists a unique collection of proven decision-making tools, techniques, and management ideas. There is, however, no clear definition and empirical analysis relative to the nature of the relationships among internal/external variables as they influence decision-making in the research university provosts' roles and functions. It was the purpose of this study to investigate the effects of selected variables on provost decision-making within their many functions.

Method

The survey research method was used to study the relationships among selected variables affecting decision-making in the functions of research university provosts. An instrument was designed and …

1993 Conference Capstone Address: An Outsider's View Of Pod Values-And Of Pod's Value To The Academy, Kathleen Mcgrory

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Thank you for inviting me and for making me feel so much at home. It must have been that mention of the Holy Grail in my background that led Suzanne Brown to invite me here, since we are all questing, probably on similar routes. It seems to me that one could not be actively engaged in POD, or in the Society for Values in Higher Education, without being part idealist, part evangelist, and part missionary. A colleague of mine from Mount Enterprise Texas added a new verb to my organizational vocabulary when he told me about Texas missionary friends of …

Metaphors Of Teaching: Uncovering Hidden Instructional Values, Darlene Hoffman

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This paper describes how metaphors of teaching can be used to assist faculty in understanding the assumptions that underlie their teaching behaviors. A problem-based and a values-based model are described In the problem-based model, there is no assumption of a metaphor. In the values-based model, the metaphors are seen as filters through which all efforts to improve teaching must pass. By understanding these values agendas, faculty consultants will have more success in facilitating teaching effectiveness.

Increasing Sensitivity To Diversity: Empowering Students, Mary Anne Johnston

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This paper describes a model program for increasing sensitivity to diversity in an academic environment. To improve the learning environment for all students, faculty developers provide educational programs that enhance the faculty's understanding of differences related to gender, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, and physical abilities. This report highlights the process of working closely with students to design and implement an orientation program for first-year students to increase an awareness of the influence of diversity on their learning and working together.

Leveling The Playing Field, Linda Hilsen, Deborah Petersen-Perlman

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

To promote equity in education the authors contend that teachers must: 1) hear all the voices in their classrooms, 2) distribute power so students can vocalize, 3) establish ground rules with students on how to interact in the classroom, and 4) use active teaching and learning strategies in their classrooms. By employing each of these four strategies, the authors believe the educational playing field will become level, enabling all to participate equitably in attaining educations.
