This book was released on 1996-09-03 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whatever the goal of a liberal education, whether it is acquiring a core body of knowledge, a style of thinking, or the development of character, these essays suggest the importance of the academic community, characteristic of the small university, in the shaping and survival of liberal education. Small classes, a sense of community, and personal dialogue between students and faculty are ingredients that can best be provided by the small university and that make a unique contribution to the intellectual development of students.

Book Synopsis The Future of Liberal Education by : Timothy W. Burns
Download or read book The Future of Liberal Education written by Timothy W. Burns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberal Education, once the whole of American Higher Education, has been displaced by technical training and career-oriented majors. But it has also suffered from the decline in genuine liberal learning found in humanities disciplines, owing to specialization, politicization, and the adoption of new literary and psychological theories. The social sciences, too, have arguably abandoned the kind of relentless and sometimes disturbing questioning that used to constitute the core of education. In this compelling volume, thirteen college educators describe in sparkling prose what liberal education is, its place in a liberal democracy, the very serious challenges it faces in the 21st century—even from some of its alleged friends—and why it is important to sustain and expand liberal education’s place in American colleges and universities. Proponents and critics of liberal education alike will benefit from these insightful essays. This book was originally published as a special issue of Perspectives on Political Science.

Book Synopsis Liberal Education and the Idea of the University by : Karim Dharamsi
Download or read book Liberal Education and the Idea of the University written by Karim Dharamsi and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of the university and the idea of liberal education share a family resemblance. However, it is not always explicitly clear what they have in common and what differentiates them. This collection brings together arguments and reflections on the nature of the university and the place of liberal learning in the 21st century. It is divided into two parts. In the first part authors examine the values and ideals that shape our understanding of liberal learning and the university; in the second part authors consider pedagogies informing our practices, asking after what underlying presuppositions, when made explicit, guide our liberal education classrooms in higher education. Unique in its approaches, this volume includes defenses of liberal education’s intrinsic value, the commodification of some of its best ideals, as well as utilitarian defenses that challenge some orthodox conceptions of liberal learning and its justifications. Each in its own right understands liberal learning as essential to the defense of a democratic order. On the pedagogical side, included are essays that defend a view of liberal education from the vantage of STEM subjects, including architecture, as well as those we typically associate with the liberal arts. This volume will aid academics and students seeking to better grasp an understanding of liberal education, but also those seeking to advance their pedagogical ideas about liberal learning. Researchers and students in education, higher education and those interested in the liberal arts and sciences will find this volume a useful addition to their collection.
Book Synopsis Liberal Education for a Land of Colleges by : D. Potts
Download or read book Liberal Education for a Land of Colleges written by D. Potts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yale's Reports, published in 1828, is a seminalpublication for understanding the development of American higher education. Giving highest priority to critical thinking skills, this fifty-six-page pamphlet played a central role in clearly delineating teaching objectives, modes of learning, and range of curriculum for the nation s colleges. In a deeply researched and well-crafted analytical narrative, David B. Potts introduces Yale s document, probes its origins and message, surveys its national reception, and assesses its import for liberal education, both then and now. His broadly contextual approach helps readers understand why the young republic, informed and encouraged by Yale s rationale, became a land of liberal arts colleges.

Book Synopsis Liberal Education and the New Scholarship on Women by : Association of American Colleges
Download or read book Liberal Education and the New Scholarship on Women written by Association of American Colleges and published by Association of American Colleges & Universities. This book was released on 1982 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1981 Wingspread conference on the implications of the new scholarship on women for the traditional goals and assumptions of liberal education also addresses possibilities and imperatives for curricular and institutional change. After an introduction by Anne Fuller, papers by three women's studies scholars are presented. "Feminist Scholarship--The Extent of the Revolution" (Florence Howe) suggests that the study of women is not only an academic question but a question of allowing women images of achievement and aspiration comparable to those the curriculum has generally afforded at least to white middle-class males. "A Feminist Critique of the Liberal Arts" (Elizabeth Kamarck Minnich) proposes that schools are still educating people in a system that grew out of a hierarchical and partial vision of what humanity is. "The Challenges of Women's History" (Gerda Lerner) suggests that women's history challenges the traditional periodization of history and indicates a need for a redefinition of categories and values. Lastly, conference recommendations for institutions, administrators, education associations, and disciplinary groups are also presented. Among the conclusions are: (1) liberal education is "illiberal" if it does not take adequate account of the values, accomplishments, lives, and perspectives of half the human race; (2) research on women integrates new information into the curriculum to provide a more complete understanding of human experience; and (3) a new feminist scholarship, which examines a topic or discipline from the points of view of both men and women, can change assumptions, values, and methodologies of many areas of study. A list of participants and planning committee members is appended. (SW)
