CON I N I ETH ICS AND T H E COLLE GE YOU T H The fire of moral r eform which swept through the country - leaving in its path the scare heads of the muck raker , the renovated departments of government , and the investigated n public servant and interstate corporations , has bee followed and supplemented by the wave of reform and investigation for business efficiency and efficiency standards . The one is the complement of the other , if they are not identical in func t % tion . Moral enthusiasm bent on the suppression o . vice in f in all forms of life increases e ficiency ; and convers y , the enthu crease o f efficiency eliminates immorality . Hence the siast for either morals or efficiency cordially welcomes the work of the other . The wave of moral reform has struck the school , demanding appreciation of responsibility for the moral integrity of the coming generation . And the school is r trying to respond . Opinions and experiments galore are e ported ; France is claiming to be well on the road to the solution o f the problem of secular moral education ; and the eyes o f moral educators are turned with expectation and ff . interest to the e orts of Japan President Hall , after an exten sive review of the literature on moral education in the public schoo l , states that there is no agreement and thus far no accepted solution of the problem ( 34 . Vol . I . Chap . The ha s value of the various schemes yet to be ascertained . Much of the force of this storm of criticism h a s fallen upon the college course in ethics . Where it has not been struck has directly , it been severely j arred , for it is inevitable that immoral c onditions of college life and moral inefficiency of the college product should reflect upon the course in ethics . Perhaps the criticism may not be wholly j ustifiable , because 2 3 6 7 3 5 42 2 T HE PE DAGOGY OF COLLE GE E TH ICS many never take this course , and because there are so many other factors to build up or break down the moral life of the college student . Yet it has forced the teacher of ethics to many a hea rt searching with the result that m a ny reforms have been attempted ; a nd it is sure to cause a careful considera tion o f the proper content and the function of the ethics course . At present we have no scientific pedagogy of college ethics ; only im a vast collection of old line texts , a few attempts at an a o ‘ proved text , c nsiderable literature of criticism ; and a smaller literature reporting methods tried and suggestions for improvement based on an intimate knowledge of the needs and capacities of the college adolescent . The teaching of ethics and the cultivation of the moral lif e may never be reduced to an exact science , nor even as approximately exact as the teaching of other subj ects , for the large part of morality is below the threshold of consciousness and many other factors than the class room affect it ; but the fact that greater effi ciency has been attained in some cases indicates that the methods of the many may be improved and that a thorough understanding of the needs and capacities of the adolescent plus a knowledge and control of the moral influences of col lege life will produce a course in ethics the content of which and the teaching of which will be a tremendously effective part of the moral development of the student . The complexity and the seriousness of the problem must be hi appreciated . The teacher who knows s problem sees per fectly well that restrictions of college life cannot and must s not be o close as those of the home and preparatory school . Dean B riggs of Harvard calls attention to the protest on the part of the preparatory school teacher that students who under him have been exemplary in conduct for several years re break down in a few months after entering college , and plies that something must be wrong with the preparatory methods if the student cannot stand up under the new con i n d tio s more than a few months . The blame falls not entirely on the college . Freedom of life in college is necessary as a o f preparation fo r the greater freedom life after college . The adolescent must gradually learn to depend on himself and whether in college or not the process is at best a danger A ous one . side light is thus thrown on the importance of - some degree of self government in preparatory school days . in loco ar entis In a sense the college does stand p , but even in the best ordered home the parental cont rol begins to relax in these years. When a boy enters college he begins a new mode of life which immediately makes a deep impression upon i s him . The emotional change and excitation tremendous T HE PEDAGOGY OF COLLE G E E TH ICS 42 3 and for a time more important than what he learns of an in th t ellectual n ature . There is the thrill of realization of e a o r a desires of ye ”rs months of anticipation . At l st he is a m i college an . It s incumbent upon him to adopt the ways “ ” of a man . And here is danger . There is to be change , a e there must be change , but in what direction shall the ch ng and ? be , can the cou rse in ethics direct it In part the ethics taught can direct the change , but apart from some talks on hygiene in Freshman year the ethics rarely comes before Junior or Senior year . Much of the moral education must and will come from the contact with other”s , and from that - vague but rea l thing termed college Spirit . The nature of that spirit is all important and it may be directed somewhat by the teaching of ethics . As this course directly touches the upper classmen and the college spirit is largely determined m a nd influ by the , it may thus influence the environment the ences at work upon the younger students . The emotion aroused by the new experiences and opportunities of college life are bound to find expression in changed ideals and changed conduct . New moral problems arise because of the new opportunities and new freedom of conduct . With the large number , the moral attitudes and reactions have been a fl gradual growth under home and other healthful in uence . n un The moral character is very largely u conscious , or v reasoned . Habits of j udgment and conduct ha e been formed because such was the way of associates in home and school life . Now all this is seen from a new point of view . Real f moral questions arise , conscience is ef ective , and new stan to . dards are be reasoned out , rightly or wrongly The youth ' feels that h e should accommodate himself to the ways of the upper classmen who surely know what is right and in con trast with their learning and experience with life the old f h ways o t e home folks are likely to look prudish and picayune . He has not , far too often , learned to discriminate between the good and the bad among his college elders ; but even though he does attempt to discriminate and even though he does discriminate rightly , there is nevertheless a new and real experience with temptations and perhaps real wrong which he has never had before . Morality can no longer be f an unconscious a fair . He has thought upon these things ; he has been tempted ; he has met men who live according to d r a iffe rent a mo al sta nda rds than his own ; and it has forced morality to become a matter well within the field of con i u s c o s nes s . The nature of these college temptations an d the way they influence the stu dent thought must be taken into consideration in th e making of a course in ethics .

  • Pedagogical Quality in Preschool an Issue of Perspectives
    GÖTEBORG STUDIES IN EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES 160 Sonja Sheridan Pedagogical Quality in Preschool An issue of perspectives ACTA UNIVERSITATIS GOTHOBURGENSIS ISBN etc. To my dearest loved ones: my husband Joseph, my daughter Tina and my son Tony Abstract Title: Pedagogical Quality in Preschool – An issue of perspectives Language: English Keywords: Pedagogical quality, external evaluations of pedagogical quality, self- evaluations of pedagogical quality, a model of competence development, children’s rights ISBN: 91-7346-403-1 The main aims of this thesis on the pedagogical quality in preschool are: to define and describe a pedagogical concept of quality; to explore how quality is experienced and valued from different perspectives; to find out what characterises a pedagogical environment of high quality; and to discuss how those characteristics can be used to improve the quality of pre- school. The thesis comprises four studies, a meta-perspective of the results of these and a theoretical framework. Two studies were part of a project, which aimed to improve the peda- gogical quality in 20 preschools. The use of both external and self-evaluations of quality with ECERS gave an opportunity to compare these evaluations with one another as well as using the results to plan the content of a targeted development programme. In the third study, three preschools evaluated to be of low quality and three of good quality were selected for in-depth studies. Thirty-nine five-year-old children were interviewed about their conceptions of decision-making and how they experienced their possibilities for exercising influence in their own preschool. In a comparative study between Germany and Sweden, researchers made parallel and independent evaluations of the quality with ECERS in 20 preschools, 10 in each country.

  • Why Pedagogy Matters: the Importance of Teaching in a Standards-Based Environment Susan Entz, Instructor, Hawaii Community College
    Forum on Public Policy Why Pedagogy Matters: The Importance of Teaching In A Standards-Based Environment Susan Entz, Instructor, Hawaii Community College Abstract The goal of the standards movement has been to improve student outcomes for all children regardless of their backgrounds or risk factors. The focus has primarily been on the instructional, program or performance standards. Paramount importance has been placed on what children will do to demonstrate that they have learned. While important, there is another ingredient in achieving positive student outcomes. What teachers do and how they do it is critically important and has a profound impact on the quality of the educational experience for children. This paper presents the seminal work of the Center For Research On Education, Diversity and Excellence (CREDE), one of the twelve federally funded research centers on education. Its findings, summarized in five critical elements of effective pedagogy, demonstrate that when consistently implemented the result is greater student outcomes across the curriculum regardless of age, and higher academic test scores regardless of the student population. Application in early childhood education settings is also discussed. Pedagogy: The Science Of Teaching Word Origin--Greek: Paidagogas paidos—a boy a gogos-leader agein-to lead In Ancient Greece a paidagogos was a trusted slave who accompanied a child to his classes, ensured his good behavior in public, cared for his needs and tutored him with his homework. Introduction Teaching and learning are complex processes. Throughout history, society has looked for better ways to educate children. Americans are still struggling with that fundamental issue, particularly in light of our diverse population and the rapid rate of technological change.

Progressive Education Why It’s Hard to Beat, But Also Hard to Find By Alfie Kohn If progressive education doesn’t lend itself to a single fixed definition, that seems fitting in light of its reputation for resisting conformity and standardization. Any two educators who describe themselves as sympathetic to this tradition may well see it differently, or at least disagree about which features are the most important. Talk to enough progressive educators, in fact, and you’ll begin to notice certain paradoxes: Some people focus on the unique needs of individual students, while oth- ers invoke the importance of a community of learners; some describe learning as a process, more journey than destination, while others believe that tasks should result in authentic products that can be shared.[1] What It Is Despite such variations, there are enough elements on which most of us can agree so that a common core of progressive education emerges, however hazily.
