Francis, Linda E. (1979). Citizen Me: An Experiential Curriculum for Citizenship Education. Level: Seven. The Citizen Me Level Seven guide incorporates the project's goal of providing a curriculum which integrates concepts of basic citizenship education with community involvement through gaining an understanding of rights, liberties, and obligations of citizens, understanding the free enterprise system, and applying values that lead to skill in human relationships and effective citizenship. The 14 lessons deal with the process of establishing a community, with students working in small groups and role playing in positions of leadership in the community they settle. The lessons deal with such topics as leadership, citizen responsibilities, problem solving, and various aspects of government and the law, and are to be completed in sequence as each lesson builds on another. Role cards provide background information, traits/personality, and reasons for joining the group. Land data cards simulate various geographic settings. While the unit is appropriate as an introductory or culminating…

Lee, Owen M., Jr. (1975). The Development of a Model for the Management of a Student-Centered Program at a Community College Utilizing Human Potential Seminars, Cognitive Style Mapping, and Career Planning. Based on the example of the experimental We Weigh and Achieve to Gain Success (WAGS) program at Polk Community College which is designed to deal with unmotivated, undecided, and unprepared students, this study develops a model for implementing a student-centered remedial program at the community college level. The model outlines procedures to follow in program development, staffing, organization, implementation, supervision, and evaluation. Basically, what results is an interdisciplinary course employing three techniques: (1) human potential seminar (a structured small group experience founded on the assumption that something is right with the participant); (2) cognitive style mapping (a diagnostic battery which determines how a student takes notice of his total surrounding, how he searches for meaning, and how he contrasts or relates information); (3) career planning. This model program is intended to improve the student's self-concept, and motivate him to achieve a definable…

McHolland, James; McInnis, Noel (1969). Every Student Is A Gifted Student. The Human Potential Seminars at Kendall College, a part of the Program for Humanized Curriculum Design are described. The Seminars are based on the assumption that every student is gifted in the sense of having unique potentialities. The conviction is held that something is right with the participants; motivation focuses on individual discovery and group reinforcement of strengths, capabilities, and success factors of each individual. Three techniques used are: (1) strength bombardment, in which the individual reveals his concept of his own strengths, the group indicates further strengths seen in the person, and there is discussion regarding causes that are preventing usage of these strengths; (2) success bombardment, in which successful and unsuccessful experiences are analyzed by the group for each participant; and (3) goal-setting activities, using student values, the goals set being achievable and believable. Behavioral objectives are increases in: (1) self-motivation, (2)… [PDF]

Hughes, Jason (2000). The Learning Organisation Part I. The Learning Organisation: What Is It? Does It Constitute a Useful Set of Ideas for the Human Resource Development Practitioner? CLMS Working Paper. The learning organization is one that has a strategy of continuous organizational change, exploring and facilitating a link between the development of the organization and the personal development of the employee. These five disciplines lead the innovation of learning organizations: systems thinking (meaning the whole is more than the sum of the parts); personal mastery or proficiency; mental models or ways of seeing and understanding; building shared visions; and team learning. One limit to the learning organization concept is the assumption that organizations have an existence in and of themselves beyond the level of individuals and can 'learn'. The implications for human resources development encompass the entire scope of the field. A more useful conceptualization is that of organizational learning, in which people learn from each other in a mutually beneficial manner. This assumes that under the right conditions people are able to learn more effectively in groups. Individual… [PDF]

Morino, Mario (1997). The Impact of Technology on Youth in the 21st Century. This paper examines the potentially transforming power of interactive communications on young people. Discussion includes the need for free, unrestricted access to the Internet for all citizens; the breakdown of community, fewer institutions to provide positive gathering places for young people, and increased "risk" for inner city youth; the ability of computers to increase literacy and interpersonal skills; and examples of individuals, groups and institutions devoted to enabling young people to take part in and benefit from new technologies. The following 10 ways that teachers, parents, and members of the community can make a difference for young people are then discussed: (1) focus on human outcomes, not technology; (2) get involved with the new technologies; (3) adopt a learning-to-learn approach; (4) understand the issues; (5) ensure low-cost access for all; (6) claim your "citizen's right" to information; (7) investigate new economic opportunities; (8)… [PDF]

Doyon, Bernard; Fabre-Thorpe, Michele; Fize, Denis; Richard, Ghislaine; Thorpe, Simon J. (2005). Rapid Categorization of Foveal and Extrafoveal Natural Images: Associated ERPs and Effects of Lateralization. Brain and Cognition, v59 n2 p145-158 Nov. Humans are fast and accurate at performing an animal categorization task with natural photographs briefly flashed centrally. Here, this central categorization task is compared to a three position task in which photographs could appear randomly either centrally, or at 3.6 [degrees] eccentricity (right or left) of the fixation point. A mild behavioral impairment was found with peripheral stimuli with no evidence in support of hemispheric superiority; but enlarging the window of spatial attention to three possible stimuli locations had no behavioral cost on the processing of central images. Performance in the central categorization task has been associated with a large difference between the potentials evoked to target and non-target correct trials, starting about 150 ms after stimulus onset on frontal sites. Present results show that this activity originates within extrastriate visual cortices and probably reflects perceptual stimuli differences processed within areas involved in… [Direct]

Vasco, Carlos E. (1984). Learning Elementary School Mathematics as a Culturally Conditioned Process. Mathematics is thought to be the most culturally independent of all academic subjects. \New Math\ textbooks printed in the United States or Belgium were translated into Spanish and Portuguese with only minor variations in the story problems and are now taught in most Latin-American countries. Looking backwards, it was not different in past years in Colombia, where standard school textbooks copied each other in a chain going back to Spanish and Latin Renaissance arithmetics. The myth of mathematics as the universal language of science and the superficial image of mathematical truth as invariable and \a priori\ structured in human reason, reinforced the stereotype of mathematics as a supra-cultural subject. The purpose of this paper is to (1) determine as accurately as possible the cultural dependence of the learning process in mathematics; (2) examine what is essentially right in the claim to universality in mathematics; (3) consider where the culturally specific aspects of…

Bade, David (2002). The Creation and Persistence of Misinformation in Shared Library Catalogs: Language and Subject Knowledge in a Technological Era. Occasional Papers. "Occasional Papers" deal with varied aspects of librarianship and consist of papers that generally are too long or too detailed for publication in a periodical, or are of specialized or contemporary interest. This latest volume in the series is a detailed look at the causes of and cures for the two fundamental types of misinformation found in bibliographic and authority records in library catalogs: that arising from linguistic errors, and that caused by errors in subject analysis, including missing or wrong subject headings. Bibliographic and authority records with such misinformation enter shared databases in several ways; all are originally the work of human agents. The author, a cataloger at the University of Chicago's Joseph Regenstein Library, makes the case for getting it right the first time through strict self-review and cooperation among catalogers. Not simply an indictment of current cataloging practices, this paper raises awareness of how the mistakes happen in…

Newlin, George (2003). Understanding "A Tale of Two Cities": A Student Casebook to Issues, Sources, and Historical Documents. Charles Dickens' novel, "A Tale of Two Cities," does not waste a word in telling a touching, suspenseful tale set against the background of one of the bloodiest events in history, the French Revolution. This casebook's collection of historical documents, collateral readings, and commentary will promote interdisciplinary study of the novel and enrich students' understanding of the French Revolution and the significant issues it raised. The casebook is divided into the following sections: Introduction; A Literary Analysis of "A Tale of Two Cities"; Before the Deluge; Events of the French Revolution; Thomas Carlyle's French Revolution; Dickens and Carlyle: Common Threads; The Mob in Two Cities, and the "Terror"; Voices from the Prisons of Paris in the Terror; Revolution: When, What and How; Due Process of Law: The Rights of Man; Capital Punishment; Prison Isolation and Its Consequences; Human Dissection and the "Resurrection Man"; and Glossary….

Smith, Peggy H. (1997). Theoretical Perspectives on the Importance of the Therapeutic Alliance and Their Implications for the Use of Technology. Two questions facing the therapeutic community right now are: Can machines replace therapists? and Can therapy occur without a therapist? This paper attempts to respond to these questions through an examination of some major Western and Eastern theories in the field of psychological therapy. It reviews existing writings in the field to emphasize that, whatever improvement may occur through the use of technology, psychotherapy builds a personal relationship between two or more individuals, and that it is through this personal relationship that therapeutic change occurs. To eliminate or limit this personal relationship in any way will inevitably destroy the essence of therapy. The brief overview of some of the writings of theorists concurs that therapy is an effective way of changing the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of human beings, and the relationship between the client and the therapist lies at the very heart of therapy. A brief examination of the benefits of technology… [PDF]

Ellis, A. Caswell (1917). The Money Value of Education. Bulletin, 1917, No. 22. Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior The most valuable result of right education is the broadening, deepening, and refining of human life. This result can no more be measured by dollars and cents than truth, self-sacrifice, and love can be made out of pork and potatoes. While the higher things of the soul are priceless rewards which true education brings, they are not its only result. The material and measurable rewards of education should be made plain to those whose votes must determine the support of our educational system. Those who desire better support of that system should point out in terms that the people can understand and definite ways in which education promotes industrial efficiency and increases material wealth. That is the purpose of this bulletin. Contents of this bulletin include: (1) Letter of transmittal; (2) National wealth and power determined by education; (3) Education and individual success; (4) Salaries of college graduates; and (5) List of references on the money value of education.

Kinsella, Mary P. (2004). A School District's Search for a New Superintendent. Journal of School Leadership, v14 n3 p286-307 May. This study explores the process one school district employed in its search for, and selection of, a new superintendent. The research design is a single site case study using qualitative methods. Data collection techniques include observation in the form of "shadowing" a search consultant, document analysis, and open-ended interviews of key informants. The study found that, while professional credentials are important in the initial stages of the search, personal attributes prove critical in the eventual "match" of candidate to school district. The "human connection" is a strong determinant of a candidate's success or failure in advancing in the search process. The search consultant, employed by the school district, acts as gatekeeper of the process, its people, and all pertinent information. The struggle between a candidate's privacy and the public's right to know is a central focus in this case. In effect, both candidate and board circumvent the laws… [Direct]

Heidorn, Keith C.; Torrie, Bruce (1995). Guide for SUNSafe Schools. As a result of the decline in the thickness of the atmospheric ozone layer, the surface of the Earth will be exposed to increased levels of solar ultraviolet B radiation. This radiation has been shown to have harmful effects for life on Earth. These include damage to plants, animals, and materials. It has also been linked to many human health impacts such as sunburn, skin cancer, eye damage, and suppression of the body's immune system. In order to protect children from the negative health effects of ultraviolet B radiation, schools must embark on a SUNSafe education program which includes: SUNSafe education including nutritional education on boosting immune function, clothing recommendations, planning and staging of school events, and facilities design. Actions which should be taken include: teaching students about the hazards of excessive exposure to the sun, planning school activities around the peak sun hours, requiring proper protective clothing when outdoors, providing shading… [PDF]

(1984). Secondary Social Studies: Arkansas Public School Course Content Guide. This guide is offered as a framework on which a comprehensive curriculum can be built. Within each subject area and grade level, skills have been identified at three instructional levels: basic, developmental, and extension. The study of political and economic systems, citizenship rights and responsibilities, and the foundations of the U.S. political system form the core of the civics and government course. United States history after 1865 is taught in grades 9 to 11. A contemporary history course emphasizes the years from World War II to the present. Economic decision making, economic systems, the market system, business cycles, and monetary and fiscal policies undergird the economics course. The global studies program stresses the commonalities, rather than the differences of people around the globe. The world cultures course provides an in-depth analysis of selected cultures from both the western and non-western countries. Five fundamental themes of location, place,…

Chambliss, Catherine (1987). College Faculty Promotion of AIDS Awareness. Undergraduate students' educational needs concerning Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and the faculty role in AIDS education are discussed. Results of a study at the Ursinus College (Pennsylvania) campus to assess both knowledge of and attitudes toward AIDS are summarized. Seventy-three percent of the 141 Introductory Psychology students sampled, reported moderate to extreme interest in learning more about AIDS. Although 98% of the sample reported learning much of what they knew about AIDS through the media, a fifth reported that the college staff had increased their understanding of this illness. Faculty can augment the Office of Student Life's educational programs by staying informed of new findings, allowing advisees to express their concerns about AIDs, and referring students to additional information sources. In addition, the classroom provides another forum to educate students about human sexuality; the AIDS problem can be used to illustrate various concepts in… [PDF]

Seefeldt, Carol; And Others (1979). Young and Old Together: A Training Manual for Intergenerational Programs. Ideas for orienting and training elderly adults to work as volunteers with children in school and nonschool settings are given in this manual. In addition, ideas for planning the goals of an intergenerational program, recruiting volunteers, and preparing children, teachers, and child care staff for interaction with volunteers are provided. Suggested content for the training program includes the rights of children, child development, behavior management, the dangers of stereotyping, and the All Handicapped Children's Act (PL 94-142). Observations of children and on-the-job experience with performance feedback from trainers are recommended as useful means of training elderly volunteers. Program goals include (1) increasing the frequency of intergenerational contact; (2) fostering positive attitudes between generations; (3) providing services for children with special needs; (4) meeting older citizens' needs for growth and development; and (5) fostering a sense of the continuity of…

(1977). Oregon State University Governmental Impact Study. Interactions between the government and Oregon State University were assessed with attention to the following areas: employment and personnel administration (regulations regarding equal opportunity, affirmative action, and nondiscrimination); students and student life (regulations regarding admissions, financial aid, records management, special student programs, and instructional activities); sponsored research (regulations regarding grant and contract research, the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Cooperative Extension Service, and the Sea-Grant Program); and facilities and physical plant (regulations regarding the health and safety of university students and staff, and access for the handicapped). Some specific topics of analysis are as follows: the state merit system, interpretations of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act and related legislation, students' rights, the Buckley Amendment (privacy of student academic records); types of student financial assistance programs,…

(1974). A National Policy on Career Education: The Eighth Report of the National Advisory Council on Vocational Education. The report delineates the distinctions between career education and vocational education and recommends changes in Federal policy to spur advances in making education more relevant to student needs. Reviewing the career education movement over the last three years, the paper discusses some of the problems encountered as educators try to meet the increased national demand for more opportunities in career and vocational education, especially at the secondary level and beyond. Increased costs are seen as the principal barrier against more rapid conversion of education to a career orientation, and it is hoped that Federal subsidies will fill this growing need. The Vocational Education Act of 1968, to be reconsidered by Congress in 1975, and the Education Amendments of 1974 would be steps in the right direction. Eight recommendations for developing a national policy on career education are presented by the National Advisory Council on Vocational Education. It is hoped that, if responded… [PDF]

Benson, George L. (1970). The School Principal and Negotiations: A Middle Management Dilemma. Oregon School Study Council Bulletin, Volume 13, Number 5. The author asserts that school principals are increasingly becoming targets for a number of pressure groups advocating change in the school system, and that foremost among these groups are the faculties which the principals have striven to lead. Teacher militants are challenging administrative procedures and policies, demanding a right to be involved in policy formulation and implementation and developing strategies for collective negotiations. With a case study demonstrating the implications of the negotiation process for the role of the school principal, the author examines the experiences of principals in New York City where one recently stated goal of the AFT is that of the elimination of the school principalship and all supervisory positions. The author contends that the inference to be drawn in this case is that principals need to develop a strategy for utilizing the negotiation process advantageously for the sake of their very survival. The author feels that to succeed in… [PDF]

Smith, Vernon; And Others (1976). Alternatives in Education: Freedom to Choose. Perspectives in American Education. This book, one in a five-volume series dealing with perspectives in American education, discusses the need for, the role of, and current developments in alternatives in education. The series is intended to contribute to a better understanding of the educational process and the relation of education to human welfare.

The development of alternative schools in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the reasons for their success are examined in Chapter three. Contained in Chapter four are a discussion of programs that combine school and community learning and an examination of the societal and educational issues which have led to the development of these programs. The search for solutions for equal education in a pluralistic society, the… [PDF]

Fesko, Sheila Lynch (1999). Working It Out: Workplace Experiences of Individuals with HIV and Individuals with Cancer. Research to Practice, v5 n2 Jul. Thirty-two individuals with cancer or HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) were interviewed concerning their employment related experiences and concerns. Findings indicated that the decision to tell their supervisor and/or co-workers about their health status varied substantially between individuals with HIV and those with cancer. All study participants with cancer disclosed to their employer and co-workers whereas only a third of those with HIV infection told everyone in their workplace. Most of the individuals interviewed experienced a range of reactions from people at work but most reactions were reported to be positive and supportive. More individuals with HIV infection than cancer reported examples of negative or unpleasant experiences in their interactions with others. Sixty-four percent of individuals with cancer reported receiving accommodations on their job, as compared to 50 percent of people who were HIV positive. Despite similarities in the symptoms they experienced, the… [PDF]

Malherbe, Rassie (2004). The Constitutional Framework for Pursuing Equal Opportunities in Education. Perspectives in Education, v22 n3 p9-28 Sep. The promotion of equal learning opportunities is crucially important for the improvement of the quality of life of millions of people. The virtues of education in preparing learners for life, for meaningful interaction with other human beings, for constructive civic and political involvement, and for successful economic participation stand beyond reason. As stated in \Brown v Board of Education,\ education \is the very foundation of good citizenship\. This contribution focuses on the constitutional framework within which equal educational opportunities are pursued in South Africa. Section 29 of the Constitution, which provides for the education rights, and section 9, the equality principle, as well as the interaction between them, are discussed in some depth. It is concluded that, despite the constitutional framework being in place, there is still a long way to go before education opportunities will have been created that enable learners with different backgrounds, needs, abilities… [Direct]

Obed Mfum-Mensah (2024). Between "Scylla and Charybdis"? Trusteeship, Africa-China Relations, and Education Policy and Practice. Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, Paper presented at the Annual International Conference of the Bulgarian Comparative Education Society (BCES) (22nd, Sofia, Bulgaria, Jun 2024). Sub-Saharan African societies had contacts with China that stretch back to the early days of the Silk Road where the two regions facilitated trade relations and exchanged technology and ideas. Beginning in the 1950s China formalized relations with SSA based on South-South cooperation. At the end of the Cold War, China intensified its relations with SSA within the frameworks of "One Belt one Road" in Africa and the Forum for China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). The China-Africa relations have scored benefits in the areas of promoting infrastructural development, strong investments in SSA, trade links between the two regions, less expensive technical assistance for nations in SSA, cultural exchanges, and student scholarships. Nonetheless, the relations raise complicated issues around trade where China is flooding markets in SSA with inferior goods, acquisition of resources, Chinese mining companies causing environmental destruction in many countries in SSA, and the Chinese… [PDF]

Dake, Dennis M. (1997). A Personal Vision Quest: Learning To Think Like an Artist. Using the metaphoric story device of two tribes, one that builds their culture around words and the other which depends primarily on visual perception, this paper suggests a distinctive mental paradigm at work within the society of artists, who pursue visual literacy through graphic ideation. The author discusses his education in art and his discovery of "memes," the smallest recognizable pieces of information, and notes that holistic memes have given him a perception of the ethical values and biases of the tribe of the vision. Discussion then moves to the differences between the thinking of visual artists and those without artistic inclinations, as identified by neuropsychologists and psychologists. Artists, who are more aware of the abstract structures underlying visual perception, are better able to control and manipulate the viso-spatial abstract structure of their visions for communicative and creative purposes. Visual artists of acknowledged creativity have also been… [PDF]

Parsons, Donald O. (1989). The Firm's Decision To Train. Background Paper No. 6. This paper provides a critical review of economic models of employers' decisions to train workers: what training is undertaken, where it is undertaken, and who finances it. The focus of the review is on the provision of job training to workers with no unusual training problems. The first two sections consider the nature of on-the-job training more precisely, emphasizing the role of the firm in the supply of on-the-job training opportunities. Two alternative models of on-the-job training are considered and a few implications for the efficient supply of training services are derived. In section 3, a basic investment model of on-the-job training is developed, forming the analytical structure that will be used to frame the discussions to follow. The economic logic of this human capital paradigm is discussed at length because of its central role in forming the economist's conception of this market. In section 4, conditions under which the free market generates an efficient amount of… [PDF]

Sozek, Jon (2021). Scattering the Stars: Personalist Pedagogy and Catholic Higher Education. Journal of Catholic Higher Education, v40 n1 p50-63. This essay explores Jacques Maritain's philosophy of education as a means to better understand Pope Francis's recent promotion of a "Global Compact on Education," and in particular Francis's commitment "to make human persons in their value and dignity the center of every educational program." After situating Maritain's philosophy of education in relation to Catholic emphasis on the importance of "integration" — from Maritain's time to the present — it examines Maritain's understanding of the aims of education and some features of what the author calls Maritain's "personalist pedagogy." Concrete examples of how Maritain's vision might be pursued in the classroom and in college curricula today are provided in conclusion, as well as some consideration of how Maritain's work can help up to understand Francis's teaching on education….
