General Symbols And General Studies, Larry Tyler

Perspectives (1969-1979)

An inherent difficulty in trans-disciplinary general education programs is the lack of a theoretical framework from which to display the points of unity and convergence between those uniquely human endeavors that, in slavish compliance to custom, are yet discussed as distinct and separate concerns such as science, art, mysticism, philosophy, and so on. This lack of a general theory makes all attempts at integration seem strained and artificial. However, clues, hints, and some significant beginnings toward such a framework do exist in the work of several writers. A synthesis of those sources seems, perhaps, in order.

Getting With Spaceship Earth, Noel Mcinnis

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The environment into which we are born remains invisible to us unless one of two things happens: 1) we leave it, or 2) it changes drastically. Quite recently, both of these things have happened to man-on-earth. Man left the earth long enough to look it over, and brought back pictures which make it difficult for us to overlook the planet as formerly. And those of us who stayed on earth discovered our planet by virtue of the fact that its feedback is doing things to us which were entirely unintended in our doings to it. The coincidence of these events …

Ex Oriente Lux: Eastern Teachings Offer A Renaissance In Higher Education, Henry Winthrop

Perspectives (1969-1979)

With Yoga and Karate the educational staple of all citizens, the achievement of the good life is assured. When that time comes the words of one of our patriotic songs will carry their most impressive meaning. "Oh, beautiful for spacious skies" will then refer to the first national community that succeeded in making full est use of man's hidden powers via the method of universal spiritual education.

Thoughts About A General Studies Program, Ollin J. Drennan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

One of the often repeated goals of a program of general or liberal education is that of promoting an awareness of the meaning of being human. The following thoughts were stimulated by the question "What does it mean to be human?" They represent an exploratory, not a definitive, statement. If they excite a response, they will have served the purpose for which they were placed on paper.

The Roads And The Purposes, Edward H. Levi

Perspectives (1969-1979)

We are all concerned about the ability of education to respond to diverse tasks which have been placed upon it. These tasks require many more kinds of institutions, much more flexibility in the kinds of programs and means of instruction. Some means has to be found, and I do not believe the road of subsidy, by itself, will accomplish it, to encourage the appearance and participation of these institutions, and the trying out of programs and methods of instruction.

A more open system has risks, but it could reassemble to greater advantage the strength which is there. Obviously, such an …

What Is Relevant In General And Liberal Education, Benjamin E. Mays

Perspectives (1969-1979)

We hear a great deal today about relevant education. We often hear our students say that this course or this curriculum is not relevant to our needs. They are all too often right. Our courses of study should meet the current needs of our students and prepare them as much as possible to do the work of the world that needs to be done.

Scholarship And Ideology, Bhikhu Parekh

Perspectives (1969-1979)

One of the most distinctive characteristics of the modern university is the tremendous emphasis placed on research, on "expanding the frontiers of knowledge." The faculty has argued, and the university authorities have in many cases accepted, that research is the only worth-while academic activity and that the university largely exists simply to promote it. In its name the faculty has sometimes even ignored, with official connivance, many of its academic obligations. Although, from the standpoint of the university, teaching is more important, research has become a new industry, a new god whose directives, it is believed, only the illiterate could …

Learning To Swim, Richard R. Williams

Perspectives (1969-1979)

For, regardless of the current flurry of excitement concerning new directions in teaching and learning, I feel that we are still adrift and perilously off course when it comes to assessing what is in our best interest. Almost everyone nowadays is talking about educational reforms and there is a good deal of agreement that change must be in the direction of fostering more humanistic, life-enhancing processes. More often than not, however, what we term bold new ventures into self-discovery, enhancement of growth, or whatever phrase suits our taste, are actually old and quite stale wines in new wineskins. An old …

Education For Wholeness, Arnold Gerstein

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The education of character does not mean the learning of maxims or habits and their inter-relationships. It means not remaining in and with ourselves. In the context of my teaching, it means not interfering with the independence of the student to form and to ask questions about that which he wants to know or become aware of now, that which disturbs or delights him now, and that which he may come to know tomorrow. Interference occurs when we manipulate the student to our way of seeing the world and man, rather than opening him up and drawing him in. This …
