Linking Communication Scholarship and Professional Practice in Colleges and Universities     

Brent D. Ruben 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2005,33(4):294-304

The 2004 recipient of NCA's Gerald M. Phillips Award for Distinguish Applied Scholarship, Brent Ruben's professional record spans more than three decades and has focused in four major areas: organizational development, communication/information systems, medical/health communication, and intercultural communication. His publication record and professional presentations are extensive. His work with the Center for Organizational Development and Leadership at Rutgers is especially noteworthy and serves as an example of his best applied work. The reviewers were especially impressed with his most recent book, entitled Pursuing Excellence in Higher Education. His use of Baldrige-based criteria by which to measure excellence is a fine example of applying well-tested standards to the field of higher education. His work represents some of the best in the field of applied communication.  相似文献   

Active learning for postsecondary educators: A study of two learning designs     

Brent W. Poppenhagen  Ernest M. Schuttenberg  John P. Gallagher 《Innovative Higher Education》1982,6(4):242-257

Research and theory related to experiential learning hold important implications for designers and teachers in postsecondary educational organizations. Three current approaches to the investigation of active learning are discussed. A research study of two designs of a field-based graduate course is reported. Participants in both versions of the course responded to two questionnaires measuring their perceptions of their learning experiences. Twenty-three participants (55%) from the earlier version and twenty (95%) from the redesigned course responded. The findings, while not always consistent with conceptual expectations, revealed provocative relationships between theories of active learning. Effort to apply concepts of experiential learning to course design resulted in measurable differences in perceived quality of learning. Key questions for further investigation are highlighted.An earlier version of this paper was presented at the American Educational Research Association National Conference, Los Angeles, April, 1981.The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of Millicent Nuver in the collection, processing, and analysis of the data reported in this study.  相似文献

Munchausen by proxy: a case, chart series, and literature review of older victims     

Awadallah N  Vaughan A  Franco K  Munir F  Sharaby N  Goldfarb J 《Child abuse & neglect》2005,29(8):931-941

The history of an older child victim of Munchausen by proxy (MBP) is described. He was referred for evaluation after repeated sinus surgeries for recurrent sinus infections believed to be related to a falsified history of an immunodeficiency. The perpetrator was the mother of this 14-year-old victim, consistent with the majority of such cases. This case prompted a review of cases of MBP in older children reported in our hospital as well as a literature search for other cases in older children. METHODS: This study was a chart review of children over 6 years of age who had been evaluated by social services at the Children's Hospital at the Cleveland Clinic and reported as cases of Munchausen by proxy to Child Protective Services between January 2001 and June 2003. Also, an OVID, Psychline, and Pubmed literature review of published cases of Munchausen by proxy were identified, and cases occurring in the older child were selected for review. RESULTS: Older children who are the victims of Munchausen by proxy may have an induced illness, but falsified reports of symptoms and medical history to coerce the child to undergo medical procedures may be more common. Collusion of the victim with the perpetrator may also become a factor as the child ages and adopts the deception. Given the complex relationship that exists between the parent and child, it is difficult to predict whether the victim either will assist the caregiver in maintaining the factitious illness or be able to recognize the falsification. CONCLUSIONS: Older children who are the victims of Munchausen by proxy may fear consequences of revealing the factitious illness. Physicians must consider the possibility of this diagnosis whenever there are discrepancies in a child's illness that makes a factitious illness a consideration.  相似文献   

On the many metaphors of learning … and their associated educational frames     

Brent Davis 《课程研究杂志》2018,50(2):182-203

Current landscapes of curriculum discourse and educational practice are examined by focusing on co-evolutions of metaphors for knowledge, learning and teaching across four prominent ‘frames’—namely, Standardized Education, Authentic Education, Democratic Citizenship Education and Systemic Sustainability Education. It is argued that these frames become compelling and resilient (or repulsive and nonsensical)—not because of what they explicitly assert, but because of the coherence of their implicit webs of vocabulary, metaphor, image and ideological association. While some of these frames/webs may be embraced as complementary, more often they are treated as conflicting or incoherent—in part, it would seem, because of tensions among their mainly implicit substrates of figurative association.  相似文献

Issues in alternative graduate education     

Dr. Brent W. Poppenhage 《Innovative Higher Education》1979,4(1):3-10

Most educators are aware that alterantive graduate programs exist in the United States. Few educators understand the exact nature and scope of these programs or the variety of issues that confront their development and viability. This introductory article defines alternative graduate education and identifies the issues and concepts considered to be critical to the conduct of nontraditional graduate study.  相似文献
