Evaluating the Influence of an Urban High School Reform Effort on College Readiness and Access Outcomes: A Quasiexperimental Cohort Study     

Toni A. Sondergeld  John M. Fischer  Arthur N. Samel  Christine M. Knaggs 《Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk》2013,18(3-4):212-232

It is widely accepted that postsecondary education has become a necessity for US youth. College access, however, has been found not to be equal for all. As a result, federally funded college-readiness programs, such as Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), have been established to increase the numbers of economically disadvantaged students with access to college. This quasiexperimental case study compared academic and nonacademic college-readiness indicators between cohorts of GEAR UP students and nonparticipants in 1 urban high school. Overall, cohorts of GEAR UP students outperformed their non-GEAR UP peers on all measures (grade-point average, attendance rate, behavior, graduation rate, and college enrollment) despite a dramatic demographic shift that led to greater proportions of educationally disadvantaged students in the GEAR UP cohorts.  相似文献

Cuba: Au Dela De L'education Rurale Integree     

Arthur Gillette 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1978,24(2):187-196

Résumé Se basant sur des expériences d'éducation rurale intégrée faites par certains pays en voie de développement, l'auteur examine l'objet d'une telle éducation et ses chances de succès. Un exemple positif est donné par Cuba où tout l'ancien système d'éducation, essentiellement centré sur l'activité urbaine a été transformé et axé sur la terre pour répondre avant tout aux besoins de la population rurale. Le plan d'apprentissage prévu pour les ouvriers et les paysans a été unifié dans son contenu et dans ses structures afin que l'éducation en zone rurale et destinée à des personnes qui auront une activité rurale, ne présente pas ce caractère de bouche-trou qu'elle a dans d'autres pays. La solution aux problèmes pratiques est rangée au premier plan; on le constate dans l'éducation secondaire et universitaire où la réforme n'a pas seulement introduit des stages (agricoles) mais a aussi changé l'orientation du système tout entier afin d'offrir à la population rurale une occasion d'améliorer ses conditions de vie.

On the basis of experiences made by some developing countries with integrated rural education, the goal of such education and its chances of success are discussed. A succesful example is the land-centred education in Cuba, where the entire—previously urban—centred educational system has been transformed into one serving primarily the needs of the rural population. Learning provision for workers and for peasants has been largely unified in content and organisation. Thus education in rural areas and for rural occupations does not have the stopgap character it has in some other countries. Emphasis is on the solution of practical problems. This is illustrated by the example of university and secondary education. The goal has been not merely to introduce practical (agricultural) training but to change the orientation of the entire system so as to offer the rural population a chance of improving their living conditions.

Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von den Erfahrungen mit einer integrierten ruralen Erziehung in einigen Entwicklungsländern, wird das Ziel und die Erfolgschancen dieser Erziehung diskutiert. Als positives Beispiel wird die land-zentrierte Bildung in Kuba vorgestellt, wo das gesamte Bildungswesen bewusst auf die Bedürfnisse der Landbevölkerung ausgerichtet wurde. Das Bildungswesen wurde vereinheitlicht, wobei Bildungsweg und Bildungsinhalte nicht mehr nach dem alten Typ des stadtzentrierten Unterrichts organisiert sind. Das Bildungsangebot ist für Arbeiter und Bauern weitgehend vereinheitlicht. Dadurch bekam die Bildung auf und für das Land nicht den Lückenbüssercharakter wie in manchen anderen Ländern. Bei dieser mehr auf ländliche Gebiete hin orientierten Bildung steht die Lösung praktischer Probleme im Vordergrund, wie dies am Beispiel der universitären- und der Sekundarbildung erläutert wird. Es geht nicht darum, nur (landwirtschaftliche) Praktika einzuführen, sondern die gesamte Orientierung zu verändern, um insbesondere der Landbevölkerung die Perspektive besserer Lebensverhältnisse auf dem Lande zu vermitteln.

CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE: A CONCEPT OF TRUE’ GIFTEDNESS     

Arthur J. Cropley 《High Ability Studies》1994,5(1):6-23

Recent years have seen substantial changes in the conceptualization of giftedness: incorporation of gifts in areas other than those emphasized in school, emphasis on qualitative aspects (patterns and structures rather than levels) and acceptance of the importance of noncognitive factors in giftedness (e.g., motivation, self‐image, feelings). A further broadening has involved steadily increasing emphasis on creativity, which is seen as interacting with conventional intelligence to yield “true” giftedness. Creativity itself involves both cognition and noncognitive factors such as emotion, motivation and social influences. Fostering of giftedness requires encouragement of creativity, and especially of intense interest, prolonged effort, the feeling of not being alone and the joy of achieving.  相似文献   

Personality development and the college experience     

Arthur W. Chickering  John McCormick 《Research in higher education》1973,1(1):43-70

Studies of freshman-senior data on undergraduates show that, despite major differences among institutions and students, the direction of net change was basically the same in several diverse colleges. Institutional freshmen means spanned a wide range, yet students became more autonomous, more aware, more integrated, more aesthetically sensitive, more tolerant, more liberal in religious views, and less concerned about material possessions. Although all students tended to change in the same direction at all colleges, they did not become more similar; diversity increased for the total group and, more often than not, diversity increased within each college.When sub-groups of similar students were examined within institutions, different patterns of change appeared, and were systematically related to such factors as college climate, student characteristics, teaching practices and study activities, and student-faculty relationships. Thus, differential change occurred as a function of institutional fit. When there is a close fit change proceeds along lines indicated by cultural and genetic forces and is consistent among diverse colleges. Where there is a misfit — students who have not developed to the general level at which a college operates, or whose development has gone beyond the operating level of a college — significant changes occur which are strongly associated with varied college characteristics and educational practices.The research reported here was supported by NIMH Grant #MH14780-05  相似文献
