Evaluation Of An Adult Education Technology Program, Iwasan D. Kejawa

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Theses and Other Student Research

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adult education technology program at a chartered alternative adult education center in Florida. The adult education center had a low rate of students passing the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). This study examined the impact of the use of computer technology in an effort to improve student learning in mathematics, reading, and science. Computers at the institution were used by all students for tutorials to prepare them for the FCAT and to obtain a high school diploma. The research questions for this study were as follows: 1. Is the education technology …

Balancing Low Growth With High Success, Robert Hogner

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

The International Business Honors BBA Program at Florida International University is a four-year experiment in a degree program that partners a traditional College of Business Administration and an independent Honors College. To date, despite low enrollment and accompanying pressures to increase it, the program continues to provide a unique, challenging, and beneficial student leaning experience of great value to the CBA, the Honors College, and the university.
A combination of student and faculty entrepreneurial spirit, a strategic vision supporting the concept, and trust across institutional boundaries provided the nurturing environment for this program’s success. Where it has not succeeded, specifically …

Nothing Succeeds Like Failure: Managing Loss In A Renascent Honors Program, Mike Davis

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Iwork at Cameron University, a regional institution in Oklahoma that will be celebrating its centennial in 2008. Our administrators see the revivification of the Cameron University Honors Program as an important component of their “Centennial Plan,” and they have appointed me to make that revivification happen.

I benefited greatly from reviewing Dean Sederberg’s observations concerning the South Carolina Honors College. Initially, I suspected that his insights would be primarily useful for those in charge of far more developed programs than the one I have been tasked with directing, but from the moment I encountered his warning against “‘biggering’ for the …

The (Un)Familiar Library: Managing The Transition For A Growing Number Of Honors College Students, Jean Mclaughlin

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

One consequence of the substantial growth in honors programs and colleges that perhaps gets too little attention is the challenge of teaching library research skills to large numbers of students in a way that captures their interest and prepares them to do serious undergraduate work in a variety of fields. Yet these skills are the foundation for college success. This paper attempts to give some perspective on the exciting challenges of extending expertise in library research skills to a growing number of honors scholars.

Honors Growth And Honors Advising, Robert Spurrier

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Following a brief review of NCHC publications that address honors advising and an explanation of the institutional setting addressed by this article, a description of our approach to honors advising will be presented.

Robert Burns, Peter Sederberg, And Higher Education Administration, Ira Cohen

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

While Peter Sederberg starts his description of managing growth with a quotation from Kenneth Boulding, I prefer to start with lines from Robert Burns’ “To a Louse”: “O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us / To see oursels as others see us!”

I think it is fair to say that, at the time Peter took over the program at the University of South Carolina, the national honors movement had, for the first time, reached some consensus about what honors and the National Collegiate Honors Council were vis-à-vis higher education. This was accomplished with the crafting of the “Basic Characteristics …

Growth = Bucks(?), Gregory Lanier

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Many of us in honors education will readily agree that, if the equation above is ever true at all, it is a very sharp double-edged sword. I suspect that most of us who direct honors programs or colleges at public institutions have been sliced or diced more than once by an institution’s growth imperatives. Although upper-level administrators often point to their honors programs with pride and tout the accomplishments of their honors students to alumni and benefactors, only a few honors programs and colleges actually report a funding baseline that adequately addresses all the needs of the program and its …
