  • Building a New Academic Institution: the Singapore University of Technology and Design
    CHAPTER 7 Building a New Academic Institution: the Singapore University of Technology and Design Thomas L. Magnanti The creation of any new university provides an opportunity to build upon the great traditions of higher education as well as to do some things differently, even challenge elements of the status quo. This chapter describes the creation of the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), a university established in collaboration with MIT that, in its design and aspirations, seeks to model MIT, a technically-oriented innovator in education and research that embraces both scholarship and practice. SUTD was established in a mature national environment of higher education alongside several world class institutions. It was intended to provide an alternative path for students, utilizing a distinctive footprint and distinctive approach to education. From the outset, SUTD strived to rethink many elements of a modern technically-oriented university. It was founded with a unique organizational and degree structure, without traditional departments or schools. It abandoned large lectures and instead embraced a hands-on, active learning approach to education, organized around cohort-based learning communities. Its approaches to education and research as well as its facility design and space allocation have been crafted to foster “multidisciplinarity.” It even abandoned the agrarian academic year calendar. It has been developed to date in what might be thought of as four phases: 1 Conception and founding (August 2007–January 2010). Development of the overall footprint, basic organizational structure, blueprint for undergraduate education, and governance structure, as well as collaborations with MIT and Zhejiang University. 2 Early development (January 2010–May 2012).

  • May Plato's Academy Be Considered As the First Academic Institution?

ISSN (Online) 2620-066X ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojsh.0202.02035s _________________________________________________________________________ May Plato’s Academy be Considered as the First Academic Institution? Zhulduz Amangelidyevna Seitkasimova M. Auezov South Kazakhstan State University, KAZAKHSTAN Faculty of Pedagogy and Culture, Shymkent Received 8 November 2019 ▪ Revised 17 December 2019 ▪ Accepted 23 December 2019 Abstract Plato’s Academy is undoubtedly the first higher education institution in history, and in ancient Athens itself represents the most important educational institution. It constituted in the context of the universal development that took place in ancient Athens, in the 5th and 4th century BC, and it continued to work until the Byzantine Emperor Justinian forbade the work of all schools of philosophy (529 AD). This development, which is part of the so-called Golden Age of ancient Athens, represents the period of Greek history in which the foundations of Western civilization originated, as we know it today. Plato appears as one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Greece, along with Socrates and Aristotle, to the first of whom appears as a student and to the second as a teacher. Philosophy in the true sense of the word was created in Plato’s era in ancient Athens (Russell, 1975), and Plato’s Academy, in which he, along with his students, talked about various philosophical topics through the Garden of Akademos, was the impetus for this development. There are also opinions that the development of philosophy after Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle is only of reproductive character when it comes to the basics of philosophy.

However, this is much more than an ap­ pendix to that Report. It is both a unique analysis of the present status of graduate education and the source of a large body of information and useful correlations which should be invaluable to rational planning for graduate education and indeed for all of higher education. Dr. Lawton M. Hartman, the principal author of this volume, selected the relevant data and recast them for use in both docu­ ments. However, responsibility for this selection of materials and for their analysis is shared by a Committee of the National Science Board. In accepting this document, recommending its publication, and generally endorsing its conclusions, the National Science Board hopes that this identification and analysis of issues with respect to graduate education will facilitate and sharpen local, State, na­ tional and Federal planning for this vital segment of the education system in the next decade.

  • Academic Archives: Uberlieferungsbildung
    The American Archivist / Vol. 43, No. 4 / Fall 1980 449 Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/43/4/449/2746734/aarc_43_4_23436648670625l1.pdf by guest on 24 September 2021 Academic Archives: Uberlieferungsbildung MAYNARD BRICHFORD ARCHIVES—REPOSITORIES AND DOCUMENTS—AND THE ARCHIVISTS who are responsible for them draw their identity from the institutions they serve. Government archivists serve the interests of government and keep the records of governmental activities: war, diplomacy, taxation, legal proceedings, utility regulation, and welfare programs. Business archivists hold records of production, investment, patenting, marketing, and employment. Religious archivists are responsible for the documentation of clerical activities, vital statistics of in- stitutions that record the hatching, matching, and dispatching. Academic archivists retain documentation on teaching, research, public service, and the acculturation of youth. In- stitutions of higher education occupy a unique position of importance and influence in America. A society distinguished for its technology, political institutions, and mass edu- cation needs the continuing scientific examination of its progress and the preparation of a large group of citizens for civic leadership. Academic archivists have a major responsi- bility for Uberlieferungsbildung, the handing down of culture or civilization. The origins of the modern university lie in the medieval university, which has been called the "school of the modern spirit." Charles Haskins stated that "no substitute has been found for the university in its main business, the training of scholars and the main- tenance of the tradition of learning and investigation." Though the early universities drew upon classical culture, the organizational structure is traceable to Bologna, Paris, and Oxford in the middle of the twelfth century.
