In early September, the first trustees established temporary headquarters in the Ricks Hotel. One of the first actions of the Board was to name the institution North Carolina Wesleyan College. The College was officially chartered by the State of North Carolina on October 25, 1956. Original capital investments totaling approximately $2 million made possible the construction of the main buildings on the 200-acre site donated by the M.C. Braswell heirs of Rocky Mount and four years later 92 students enrolled in the first class at North Carolina Wesleyan College. In 1964, 33 students received their degrees at the College’s first commencement. Since those early days, more than 13,000 students have earned bachelor’s degrees in the arts and sciences. Alumni from Rocky Mount, neighboring communities, numerous states and several foreign countries affirm Wesleyan’s value as an important resource for higher education in Eastern North Carolina. North Carolina Wesleyan College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Baccalaureate degrees and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404 679.4500 for questions about the accreditation of North Carolina Wesleyan College. The College is a member of the National Association of Schools and Colleges of The United Methodist Church, the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities and the Council of Independent Colleges. Women graduates are eligible for membership in the American Association of University Women. The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction grants North Carolina teaching certificates to graduates of North Carolina Wesleyan who have completed the prescribed certification program and who are recommended by the College. The teacher education program is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). The exercise science program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). The Office of Adult & Professional Studies offers learning opportunities for adult students who seek career advancement or personal enrichment. The program serves the Rocky Mount area and has additional campuses in Goldsboro, Greenville, Manteo, New Bern, Raleigh-Durham, Washington and Wilmington. Recent years have been especially invigorating ones in the history of the College. Extensive curriculum revisions have been undertaken and facilities upgraded. Majors in health promotion, education, criminal justice and marketing are evidence of North Carolina Wesleyan College’s dedication to serving education’s changing needs. 7 The general education curriculum of the College is a rigorous and well- rounded approach, including course requirements

Rury, Ph.D. ___________________________ Jennifer C. Ng, Ph.D. ___________________________ Yong Zhao, Ph.D. ___________________________ Steven H. White, Ph.D. Date Defended: October 8, 2018 The dissertation committee for Beverly Pell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: At Home with Technology: Home Educators’ Perspectives on Teaching with Technology _____________________________ Chairperson: Suzanne Rice, Ph.D. Date approved: November 29, 2018 ii Abstract The purpose of this research was to understand how and why home educators are schooling their children using technology. First, I explore how home educators use technology for homeschooling. Second, I investigate how home educators see themselves as teachers when using technology. Several themes emerged from the data revealing that home educators believe technology enables them to provide high quality curriculum and individualized instruction and to create a constructive and engaging learning environment for their children. Data were collected by convenience sampling with a survey of 316 (N = 316) home educators from 52 different territories, states, provinces, and countries across the globe, a nonrandom sample which is not representative of the entire homeschooling population. The quantitative data provide a specific picture of home education, reasons for homeschooling, and home educators’ perceptions of technology use in their homeschool.

  • Chapter 3 Conceptual Analysis of Traditional
    CHAPTER 3 CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to analyse and discuss traditional classroom management from a modernist perspective. Modernist thought – which informs traditional education curriculum, with its emphasis on teacher-centredness, disciplinarity and one-directional transmission of knowledge - has been the dominant scientific paradigm for the last three centuries (Claassen, 1998a:34). According to Hargreaves (as quoted by Theron, 1996:71), modernity, is a social condition that is sustained by Enlightenment beliefs in rational scientific progress, in the triumph of technology over nature, and in the capacity to control and improve human condition by applying the wealth of scientific and technological understanding and expertise to social reform. Jordaan and Jordaan (1998:62) see modernity as faith in the progress of human reason, together with confidence in the unstoppable urge of human reason to solve the world’s diverse problems in spheres of science, technology, medicine, economics and politics. The earliest signs of modernity were discernible in Western society as far back as the 16th century. Jordaan and Jordaan (1998:62) assert that modernism is underpinned by the following three cornerstones: · demonstrations of rationality-based certainty; · the possibility and eagerness to create order from chaos; and · attempts to free individuals from all bounds and limitations. 3.2 CONCEPTUALISING INSTRUCTIONIST CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Classroom management is important to everyone connected with education (Good & Brophy, 1990:193). As Slavin (1994:389) points, in the past, classroom management has often been seen as an issue of dealing with individual behaviour. According to 61 Maphumulo and Vakalisa (2000:329), many theorists on the subject of classroom management agree that the best way to achieve a well-managed classroom proceeding is through advance planning which aims at preventing delays, distractions and disruptions.

  • The Faculty Perspectives of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities
    The Faculty Perceptions of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities Jerald H. Walz Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education Steven M. Janosik, Committee Co-Chair Elizabeth G. Creamer, Committee Co-Chair Verna J. Lowe Claire K. Robbins May 22, 2017 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: academic freedom, statements of faith, faculty, Christian college or university, definition, critical incident, navigation Copyright 2017 The Faculty Perceptions of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities Jerald H. Walz Abstract Academic freedom is a much-discussed topic in the literature. However, little empirical research has been performed that describes the faculty perceptions of academic freedom at Christian colleges and universities, a unique segment of institutions within US higher education. Specifically, little recent research has shown how faculty members at Christian colleges and universities define academic freedom, how they describe experiences where they encountered issues of academic freedom, and how they navigate the interaction between academic freedom and institutional religious doctrines (as found in official statements of faith). The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze how faculty members at Christian colleges and university perceive academic freedom. For this qualitative study, I employed the Critical Incident Technique (Flanagan, 1954) to collect data from full-time faculty members of Christian institutions. I present the findings discovered through this study, discuss their ramifications, offer recommendations, and draw conclusions. The Faculty Perceptions of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities Jerald H. Walz General Audience Abstract Academic freedom is an important concept for scholars working in higher education.

  • The Classicists of Ohio Wesleyan University: 1844-2014 © Donald Lateiner 2014
    The Classicists of Ohio Wesleyan University: 1844-2014 © Donald Lateiner 2014 When Ohio Wesleyan could hire only four professors to teach in Elliott Hall (and there was yet no other building), one of the four professors taught Latin and another taught Ancient Greek. This I was told in 1979, when I arrived at Sturges Hall to teach the Classics. True or not,1 the story reflects the place of Greek and Latin in the curriculum of the mid-1800s. Our first graduate, William Godman, followed the brutally demanding “classical course.” The percentage of faculty teaching Greek and Latin steadily declined in the Nineteenth and most of the Twentieth century. New subjects and new demands attracted Wesleyan students. Currently we descry another Renaissance of antiquity at Ohio Wesleyan in Classical Studies. Sturges Hall itself was opened in 1855, its original function, as you see in the photo on the left, to serve the campus as library with alcoves divided by subject. Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams studied and revered Greek and Roman writers, their demanding languages, and their culture. Ben Franklin was not interested. For many decades, mere admission to Harvard College required a solid knowledge of Greek and Latin. One of Ohio’s sons who became President of the United States, James A. Garfield, was both a student and a teacher of Greek and Latin. Legend holds that he could write Greek with one hand, Latin with the other--at the same time. I doubt it, but Thucydides tells us humans usually doubt that others can achieve what they know they cannot.

It was great to have hundreds of alumni, friends and families S back on campus for homecoming, and especially meaningful to combine this annual gathering with my formal inauguration as your 21st president. I wanted the weekend to be a celebration of YHC’s rich history and exciting future. I think we accomplished that! My sincere thanks to all who participated in the inauguration and homecoming programs and to all on campus who planned the events and worked so hard to make sure everything flowed smoothly. I also wanted the weekend to benefit YHC, so we combined a great alumni evening with a benefit dinner to raise funds for enhancing the beauty of the campus and planting trees—21 native specimens that will honor the 21 presidents of the college.We raised more than $10,000 in our Gala for Green and will start planting three groves of beautiful, large trees in the spring. If you missed homecoming weekend, you also missed a great opportunity to reflect on our past, present and future. We honored the decades of service by Dr. and Mrs. Harry Hill by naming our newest residence hall for them, we recognized the achievements of many alumni at our Gala for Green, we paid tribute to more than 40 years of dedicated service by the Mullins family, and we looked ahead by breaking ground on a 200-bed residence hall. It was a great weekend of celebration.
