    The revised edition of this sounds good: In the second edition of this widely respected work, the argument is sharply focused on the need to change college and university education top to bottom, and the need to understand knowledge differently in order to accomplish that change. Several chapters, including that on collaborative learning and computers, have been throughly revised, and three new chapters have been added: on differences between collaborative learning and cooperative learning; on literary study and teaching literature; and on postgraduate education. http://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/ecom/MasterServlet/GetItemDetailsHandler?iN=9780801859748&qty=1&viewMode=3&loggedIN

    Abstract:The article offers the author’s insights on liberal education in universities and colleges in the U.S. for 21st century. He says that the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) has created Essential Learning Outcomes for college students as part of its Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) initiative. Meanwhile, author E.O. Wilson has explained in his book “Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge” the connection of intellectual thought with personal and social liability. (see link below)

    Title: Teaching Critical Thinking: Some Lessons from Cognitive Science

    Abstract: This article draws six key lessons from cognitive science for teachers of critical thinking. The lessons are: acquiring expertise in critical thinking is hard; practice in critical-thinking skills themselves enhances skills; the transfer of skills must be practiced; some theoretical knowledge is required; diagramming arguments (“argument mapping”) promotes skill; and students are prone to belief preservation. The article provides some guidelines for teaching practice in light of these lessons.

    Sampling Practices and Social Spaces: Exploring a Hip-Hop Approach to Higher EducationAuthor(s):Petchauer, Emery.

This article looks beyond the moral concerns often associated with rap music to explore how hip-hop as a larger set of expressions and practices implicates the educational experiences, activities, and approaches for students. The article draws from a multisite, phenomenological study of 6 students involved with hip-hop at a large, public university to illustrate two specific findings: (a) how students used hip-hop sampling as an approach and practice in education, and (b) how hip-hop spaces and practices were integrated into students’ educational lives on campus.

    The Meaning of General Education: The Emergence of a Curriculum Paradigm.
    A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource.
    An historical and conceptual analysis of general education in the United States is presented, comprising the following chapters: (1) transformation and the search for meaning (including a discussion of the concept of general education); (2) the classical curriculum confronts democracy (democratic pressures on the classical curriculum; the Yale report; the utilitarian curriculum; research, culture, and the emerging curricular crisis; the culture movement; other early attempts at reform; the social context); (3) the humanist approach to general education (the philosophy of humanism; the contemporary civilization program at Columbia; Alexander Meiklejohn and the experimental college; “general” versus “liberal” education: Robert Maynard Hutchins; the parting of the ways); (4) pragmatism, instrumentalism, and progressive education (the philosophy of pragmatism; Charles Sanders Peirce and the pragmatic maxim; William James and instrumental truth; John Dewey and the transformation of experience; John Dewey and the instrumentalist philosophy of education; progressive education); (5) instrumentalist approaches to general education: three case histories (Bennington College; Sarah Lawrence College; the General College, University of Minnesota); (6) the general education paradigm on the eve of World War II; (7) general education for democracy (a mobilized society; impact on higher education; the general education movement in postwar society; the President’s Commission on Higher Education; general education and the community college; general education at Harvard; summary and conclusions); (8) general education for diversity (postindustrial higher education; social factors; students and general education; a resurgence of pragmatism; new approaches at Columbia; other innovations; new instrumentalist experiments; thematic and interdisciplinary programs; current concerns; trends and opportunities in general education); and (9) conclusions: the meaning
    of general education. A biographical note about the author an index, and 136 references are provided. (KM)

    What Really Matters in College: How Students View and Value Liberal Education. Liberal Education & America’s Promise
    Author(s):Humphreys, Debra; Davenport, AbigailSource:Liberal Education, v91 n3 p36-43 Sum-Fall 2005. Other important learning outcomes ranked “most important” by the students were: (1) A sense of maturity and how to succeed on your own; (2) Time-management skills; (3) Strong work habits; (4) Self-discipline; and (5) Teamwork skills and the ability to get along and work with people different from yourself. Factors considered important by the academic and business communities, i.e., global understanding, civic engagement, a sense of values and ethics, intercultural skills and knowledge, were not considered important goals for college learning by today’s students. Many students felt that these learning outcomes were important, but fell outside the purview of what is appropriate in a college education. It was also found that few students had heard the term “liberal education” and were unable to provide an accurate definition. Nearly all the college students associated the term with general education elements of the curriculum rather than the whole of the educational experience.Abstractor::Full Text from ERIC http://www.eric.ed.gov/PDFS/EJ720383.pdf

  3. Engaged Learning and the Core Purposes of Liberal Education: Bringing Theory to Practice

    Abstract:
    Founded on the premise of a connection between the neglect of the core purposes of undergraduate liberal education, on the one hand, and certain patterns of disengagement exhibited by students, on the other, the Bringing Theory to Practice project provides support for campus programs as well as for research on the connection of certain forms of engaged learning to student health, well-being, and civic development. Engaged learning appears to be the normative condition for multiple types of development–cognitive, emotional, moral, and civic. In this article, the author talks about student disengagement and engaged learning, as well as the key role of faculty in the Bringing Theory to Practice project. (Contains 1 note.)

    Understanding How First-year Seminars Affect Persistence
    Stephen R. Porter and Randy L. Swing
    Abstract
    First-year seminars are nearly ubiquitous fixtures in American higher education, and research has documented their positive effect on student persistence. Only limited research, however, has attempted to isolate the impact of various aspects of first-year seminars on persistence, especially on a cross-institutional basis. We use a survey of almost 20,000 first-year students at 45 four-year institutions combined with institutional-level data to understand how aspects of first-year seminars affect early intentions to persist. Because survey respondents are grouped within dissimilar institutions, we use a multilevel modeling approach to model intent to persist.

    This book is an expansion of an essay of the same name (commonly referred to as “Lockhart’s Lament”), which can be viewed here:
    http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf

    As a mathematician I struggle with the role of mathematics in general education. There are such a variety of things that fall under the heading “mathematics” — numeracy, quantitative literacy, problem solving skills and abstract thinking, in addition to many, many specific mathematical topics that are prerequisites for various courses of study, and so on. Furthermore there is “mathematics as mathematicians experience it,” as an arena for play and exploration and discovery — mathematics as art. Lockhart brings both research and K-12 teaching experience to the table, and pulls no punches in his analysis. His views are controversial, but he does a great job of raising some of the most important issues about mathematics education today, and especially mathematics education for the “general audience” (as opposed to those who intend to specialize in math or math-heavy fields).
