Book Synopsis Bringing in a New Era in Character Education by : William Damon
Download or read book Bringing in a New Era in Character Education written by William Damon and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The educational system in the United States has ended its failed experiment with separating the intellectual from the moral. Schools from K–12 to colleges and universities are increasingly paying attention to students' values and character. But how can we ensure this new era in character education makes the right kind of difference to young people? What obstacles in our current educational system must we overcome, and what new opportunities can we create? This anthology offers unique perspectives on what is needed to make character education an effective, lasting part of our educational agenda. Each chapter points out the directions that character education must take today and offers strategies essential for progress. The expert contributors reveal why relativism has threatened the moral development of young people in our time—and how we can pass core values down to new generations of students in ways that will elevate their conduct and their life goals. And they show the critical importance of reestablishing student morality and character as targets of higher education's central mission. Perhaps most important, they clarify the necessity of authority in any moral education endeavor—and show how it is a powerful force for developing personal freedom and building character.
Book Synopsis Character Strengths and Virtues by : Christopher Peterson
Download or read book Character Strengths and Virtues written by Christopher Peterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-08 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Character" has become a front-and-center topic in contemporary discourse, but this term does not have a fixed meaning. Character may be simply defined by what someone does not do, but a more active and thorough definition is necessary, one that addresses certain vital questions. Is character a singular characteristic of an individual, or is it composed of different aspects? Does character--however we define it--exist in degrees, or is it simply something one happens to have? How can character be developed? Can it be learned? Relatedly, can it be taught, and who might be the most effective teacher? What roles are played by family, schools, the media, religion, and the larger culture? This groundbreaking handbook of character strengths and virtues is the first progress report from a prestigious group of researchers who have undertaken the systematic classification and measurement of widely valued positive traits. They approach good character in terms of separate strengths-authenticity, persistence, kindness, gratitude, hope, humor, and so on-each of which exists in degrees. Character Strengths and Virtues classifies twenty-four specific strengths under six broad virtues that consistently emerge across history and culture: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. Each strength is thoroughly examined in its own chapter, with special attention to its meaning, explanation, measurement, causes, correlates, consequences, and development across the life span, as well as to strategies for its deliberate cultivation. This book demands the attention of anyone interested in psychology and what it can teach about the good life.

Book Synopsis Lessons in Character Impact Evaluation. Final Report. NCEE 2012-4004 by : Thomas Hanson
Download or read book Lessons in Character Impact Evaluation. Final Report. NCEE 2012-4004 written by Thomas Hanson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Character education has become one of the fastest growing reform movements in K-12 education today, partially in response to unacceptable levels of student misbehavior and inadequate endorsement of good character values (Williams 2000). Between 1993 and 2009, 36 states passed laws mandating or recommending some aspect of character education in schools. Character education programs also have strong support from parents, teachers, and school administrators (Character Education Partnership 2010; Glanzer and Milzen 2006). But despite the widespread popularity of such programs, relatively few randomized controlled trials have examined the impact of these programs on the character traits, behavior, and academic outcomes of students (What Works Clearinghouse 2007). This study examines the impact of the Lessons in Character (LIC) program--an English language arts-based character education program--on student academic achievement, social competence, and problem behaviors and, secondarily, on the school environment. The program consists of literature-based supplementary material aligned with California English language arts standards and designed to integrate easily into the current English language arts curricula. The LIC curriculum is designed to be easy to implement in the classroom and to involve minimal teacher training, which distinguishes the program from other character education programs. The following confirmatory research questions guide this study: (1) Do students in grades 4 and 5 who attend schools in the LIC intervention group exhibit higher scores on measures of academic achievement after two academic years of potential LIC exposure than their counterparts who attend schools in the control group?; (2) Do students in grades 4 and 5 who attend schools in the LIC intervention group exhibit higher scores on measures of social competence after two academic years of potential LIC exposure than their counterparts who attend schools in the control group?; and (3) Do students in grades 4 and 5 who attend schools in the LIC intervention group exhibit fewer problem behaviors after two academic years of potential LIC exposure than their counterparts who attend schools in the control group? The impact analyses did not find that LIC improved student academic achievement, social competence, or problem behaviors on any of the analyzed measures. Nor were statistically significant impacts on the school environment measures of expectations and student belonging detected. Moreover, analyses of teacher reports of program implementation indicated that 30 percent of teachers reported that, in year 1, they implemented the number of core lessons recommended by the developer and that, in year 2, 23 percent reported having done so. The failure to detect program impacts on student and school environment outcomes could be due to the weak implementation of the program, an intervention design that simply does not work in bringing about changes in student and school environmental outcomes, or methodology limitations of the study. An important limitation of the study was that retention rates differed between teachers in intervention and control schools. Although participation rates in intervention and control schools did not differ and there were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics of teachers or students in the intervention and control schools, it is possible that there were important unobserved differences between intervention and control samples that could have resulted in biases in estimated program impacts. Appended are: (1) Statistical power estimates; (2) Teacher and student recruitment and retention by grade level and data source; (3) Survey items used to measure confirmatory and intermediate outcomes; (4) Internal consistency reliability and intraclass correlations of confirmatory and intermediate outcomes measures; (5) School-level and teacher-level baseline characteristics for retained sample; (6) Covariates included in impact analysis models; (7) Sensitivity analyses--primary impacts on student-level outcomes; (8) Sensitivity analyses--primary impacts on teacher-level outcomes; (9) Sensitivity Analyses--exploratory impacts on student-level outcomes; (10) Sensitivity analyses--exploratory impacts on teacher-level outcomes; (11) Teacher survey; (12) Student survey; and (13) Teacher implementation log.

Book excerpt: Throughout history, and in cultures all over the world, education rightly conceived has had two great goals: to help students become smart and to help them become good. They need character for both. Smart & Good High Schools, a 227-page "report to the nation" by Thomas Lickona and Matthew Davidson based on two years of research on American high schools, describes nearly 100 promising practices for developing adolescent character. These practices are organized around a vision aimed at encouraging a paradigm shift in character education: from focusing only on moral character to focusing on both performance character (needed for best work) and moral character (needed for ethical behavior). The report's research included visits to 24 diverse high schools, a comprehensive research review, and the input of a National Experts Panel and a National Student Leaders Panel. --Publisher description.
