General Education: Let's Be Specific!, C. Edwin Howard

Perspectives (1969-1979)

To many of those who have been vitally interested in the advancement of General Education over a period of years , it seems that much has been written, and more said, of the philosophy of General Education but considerably less about the specifics of its implementation. It is without question that the philosophy of general studies is essential to the planning of an educational program. Also, few would deny the necessity for the continuous promulgation of that philosophy. But for those who have accepted the general philosophy of General Education, whether long ago or recently, there is the continuing and …

Is The Lifeboat Leaking, John Hicks

Perspectives (1969-1979)

What liberalizing educational course or curriculum is good for a student? Will the student see the opportunity inherent in a course if it assumes a degree of comprehension he hasn't yet been educated to? Will it do him good if he can't or won't grasp it now?

Can colleges start all over at the existent level, give elementary training, and yet arrive at language mastery and disciplined thinking and esthetic sensitivity? Can we ask a chronologically mature matriculant to defer graduation until still later? Or are the lost quite lost?

If, then, a student is free to elect, with few …

The University As Asylum, Francis L. Gross Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The word "asylum" has indeed a variety of meanings. It is an ambiguous term. It has been used to denote both places of confinement for mentally unbalanced folk as well as a sanctuary affording security and protection for those in need. The purpose of this essay is to see the large state university as a sanctuary for young people. It is primarily concerned with undergraduate students as persons undergoing crises of identity. It seeks to clarify strategies and goals for professors in dealing with these students. The ambiguity of the term "asylum" suggests, however, the possibility that the large state …

General Education: A Learner's Viewpoint, Eugene Wine

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Most of the articles we read about general education are written by those who either teach or administer some kind of general education program. I think it might be valuable to know the viewpoint of someone who has been trying to educate himself generally throughout a lifetime.

The interdisciplinary courses which many schools now have seem to me to be a great improvement over the general education program which prevailed in my undergraduate days , which was the still quite prevalent one of a certain number of credit hours in the various academic divisions. My feeling is, however, that one …

General Education As An Alternative To Liberal Education, Raymond Kolcaba

Perspectives (1969-1979)

At the Eastern Campus of Cuyahoga Community College, the campus community as a whole has taken seriously the district-wide commitment to general education. Rather than spell out the nature of general education , the campus president left the concept open-ended and invited faculty to discover its meaning through their own experiments and innovative efforts. Issues shrouding the role of schools are at times distilled into two views.

Behaviorism In The Classroom: It Seems To Work, Milton Kornfeld

Perspectives (1969-1979)

In trying to find a better way to motivate and evaluate my students, what I did last year was, essentially, to borrow an idea which appeared in Change Magazine (April, 1973) under the title "Behaviorism in the Classroom," by Elaine G. Breslaw. Ms. Breslaw teaches history at Morgan State College in Baltimore, and her description of student behavior at this predominantly black school indicated that her students were enough like my own to warrant consideration of this approach to motivating and evaluating students. In regard to her students Ms. Breslaw's concerns were not dissimilar from my own:

"I wanted to …

A Clockwork Course, Harvey Overton

Perspectives (1969-1979)

We can now forget a career of anxious Mondays, or returning to the classroom after a week-end of fretting about how to get our students to grasp some concept in aesthetics or epistemology. Our course objectives are stated with precision. Learning is administered in graded doses, with students unfailingly advancing from stage to stage as they are positively reinforced for productive responses. As classroom managers (in another era we were called teachers) we assiduously avoid strategies producing aversive reactions, knowing that they are counterproductive. Instead, we engineer relevant contingencies that generate the behaviors that are visibly effective. And all the …

The Academic Meritocracy: Its Origins And Future, David Katz

Perspectives (1969-1979)

"Virtue," Emerson assures us, "is the only reward of virtue." Yet , as every academic knows , this seemingly elementary axiom has long been obsolete. Indeed , the very meaning of virtue has changed since Emerson's day, when the concept referred to a quality of being acquired through intense introspection and manifested in one's daily relations with others. As currently defined in the academy virtue is simultaneously more tangible and more prosaic. It is the status one acquires through the accumulation of certain types of credits: assignment to prestigious committees, active participation at professional meetings and, especially, a suitably impressive …

The Student: His Self-Satisfaction And His Sense Of Permanency, John Bevan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Seaborg went on to say: "Let me be quite realistic as I turn to the one force which I believe can do most to help us understand ourselves in society or help us create and fulfill the highest goals which a Cybernetic Revolution might offer. I believe that force is education and that the university should play the leading role." He concluded that in the short decades ahead, there must be a huge re-evaluation of the goals and values of our society and it will be in our universities where such a re-evaluation takes place.
