  • 1 Mini-Literature Review Student Identity Development Theory
    Mini-Literature review Student Identity Development Theory INTRODUCTION Student development theory is an area of study that tries to identify, describe, explain and predict human behaviors as student’s transition from adolescence to adulthood. Over the past few decades, the study of student development has paid particular focus on identity development of college students. As colleges welcome a more complex and diverse student population, the study (and practice) of college student identity development now considers a more holistic approach. It is a theoretical orientation where political, historical and cultural contexts place socially constructed factors on identity development. Drawing on both foundational scholarship and current research, the purpose of this review is to present the more holistic perspective of identity development currently followed by scholars and researchers in the field to inform a more inclusive learning environment within higher education. One of the more widely used and referenced books on identity development for college students is the 1998 book, Student Development in College. Now in its 2nd edition, the book was one of the first to combine development theories into a series of categories ranging from psychosocial theories, cognitive and moral theories to typological and person-environmental theories. Each theory addressed in the book seeks to answer the following developmental questions (Knefelkamp, Widick, & Parker, 1978 in Evans, Forney, Guido, Renn, and Patton, 2010 p. 24): 1. What interpersonal and intrapersonal changes occur while the student is in college? 2. What factors lead to this development? 3. What aspect of the college environment encourage or retard growth? 4. What development outcomes should we strive to achieve in college? FOUNDATIONAL THEORIES ON STUDENT DEVELOPMENT One of the foundational theories addressed in Student Development in College is Chickering’s Theory of Identity Development.

Department of Polit_i_g^j;_s_gience The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date September, 2, 1966 ii ABSTRACT The emergence since World War II of many new states in Asia and Africa has stimulated a renewed interest of sociology and political science in the non-western social and political process and an enhanced concern with the problem of political development in these areas. The source of contemporary concepts of political development can be located in the ideas of the social philosophers of the nineteenth century. Maine, Toennies, Durkheim, and Weber were the first social observers to deal with the phenomena of social and political development in a rigorously analytical manner and their analyses provided contemporary political development theorists with seminal ideas that led to the identification of the major properties of the developed political condition.

However, it is prone to confusion in public debate as it tends to mean different things to different The understanding of inequality has evolved from the people. Some distinctions are common though. Many authors traditional outcome-oriented view, whereby income is distinguish “economic inequality”, mostly meaning “income used as a proxy for well-being. The opportunity-oriented inequality”, “monetary inequality” or, more broadly, inequality perspective acknowledges that circumstances of birth are in “living conditions”. Others further distinguish a rights-based, essential to life outcomes and that equality of opportunity legalistic approach to inequality—inequality of rights and asso- requires a fair starting point for all. ciated obligations (e.g. when people are not equal before the law, or when people have unequal political power).

  • Development, Post-, Anti-, and Populist: a Critical Review
    Environment and Planning A 2000, volume 32, pages 1033 ^ 1050 DOI:10.1068/a3251 Development, post-, anti-, and populist: a critical review Piers Blaikie School of Development Studies, University of East Anglia, Norwich, England; e-mail: [email protected] Received 2 April 1999; in revised form 9 September 1999 Abstract. The notion and practice of development have been severely critiqued from both modernist and postmodernist perspectives, yet the global development industry flourishes. The latter have afforded important insights, but also suffer from unexamined ideological agendas, a disinclination to undertake detailed research into development processes and policy, a preoccupation with texts and representations by the development industry, and from perpetuating an indulgent and agenda-less academic cul-de-sac. Instead, the postmodern critique of development could lead to a more politically astute and practical reconstruction of certain aspects of `development', particularly in the neopopulist mode of developmentalism. Three powerful development paradigms are identified, and the ways in which they are constructed, promoted, and adapted are discussed in the light of conflicting modernist and postmodern accounts. Postmodern engagement with development There has been a profound sense of disappointment and reappraisal in the global development project since the 1960s, yet the project continues. This has come about after a long history of modernist critiques, which have judged the results of develop- ment in their own terms (it failed to deliver what it promised), as well as the more recent postmodern turn which social science has taken, which has sought to portray development as a metanarrative ripe for deconstruction, and to interrogate its intellec- tual and epistemological foundations, but, I argue, has led development debate into some confusing and exposed terrains.

  • Student Development Theory
    Student Development Theory Carolyn Farley Michael Walker Why is Student Development Theory Important? Justifies our profession and legitimatizes relevance of Student Affairs Professionals Helps us understand our audience; talk their language Helps us “meet students where they are” Teaches us how students rationalize, behave and develop as human beings Helps us understand opportunities and limits 2 SDT also… Helps us: understand where students are within a human development continuum (where they were and where they are going developmentally); understand how to address the “whole person” complement academics with co-curriculars; account for the development and needs of special populations Provides “description, explanation, prediction, and control” (DiCaprio, 1974, in Forney, Evans & Guido-DiBrito, 1998). Characteristics of Millennials Through their research, Howe and Strauss (2000) found that seven key characteristics define today’s 18-22 year old college students (as well as 23-25 year old graduate students). These traits include: Special - many from smaller families with fewer siblings to compete with, so received greater attention and increased security from mom and dad (known as “helicopter parents” due to their constant hovering around their children). Sheltered - more than previous generations, parents kept them closer to home with a focus on safety and connection to family, but also involved with many organized activities and sports. Confident - increased parental involvement and coaching/external adult involvement gave them lots of support and self-confidence. Student Affairs: Creating Experiences for Life Millennial Characteristics cont. Team-oriented - grew up among most diverse American population ever, and learned to be civil and less “me-oriented” than previous generations.

Nafukho August 2010 Major Subject: Educational Human Resource Development iii ABSTRACT Exploring Paradigms of Human Resource Development. (August 2010) Andrew Christopher Hurt, B.S., Purdue University; M.S., Purdue University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Gary N. McLean Dr. Susan A. Lynham This study focused on the issue of paradigms in Human Resource Development (HRD). Its purpose was to validate the HRD Cube as a synthesized model of HRD and to explicate some of the extant paradigms of HRD. The study was carried out by examining the text of articles published in Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD)-sponsored journals. Purposeful, stratified, and random sampling was used to select 16 articles published in AHRD-sponsored journals. Articles were treated as if they were the representative voice(s) of their author(s). Data units from within each article were identified and coded using two sequential techniques. First, units were axially coded and sorted into one of seven pre-determined categories based on the axioms of theory, research, and practice.

  • Economism and Critical Silences in Development Studies
    ThirdWorld Quarterly, Vol 16, No 2, 1995 Economismand critical silencesin developmentstudies: a theoretical critiqueof neoliberalism JOHNBROHMAN Because ofthe recentness of neoliberalism’ s rise inpopularity within develop- mentstudies, it has onlybeen in the last few years thatit has beensubject to closescrutiny in the development literature. Moreover, much of thecriticism of theneoliberal approach has beenfocused on the immediate consequences of structuraladjustment and other neoliberal policy instruments on Third World countries.However, there is alsoa theoreticalcritique that can be applied to neoliberalismwhich can help explain the root causes ofmany of its shortcom- ingsas adevelopmentstrategy. Given the close links between neoliberalism and neoclassicaltheory in general, much of this theoretical criticism concentrates on basicproblems of theneoclassical framework. This paper particularly focuses on theproblem of economism and the consequent neglect of three important areas ofdevelopment studies: sociocultural and political relations, the intersubjective realmof meanings and values in development, and the environment and issues ofsustainability. The narrownessof homo economicus and associated neoclassical assumptions Themultifaceted and dynamic nature of development processes makes it necessary totakean interdisciplinary approach to thestudy of development, one thatincludes sociocultural, political, and environmental factors as wellas those economic.However, neoliberalism and other mainstream development frame- worksthat draw their

An Abstract of Anomie and Development—A Cross-National Study by Amin Etemadifar Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Sociology The University of Toledo December 2016 This is a quantitative cross-national study examining the relationship between development and anomie in 100 countries using the data extracted from the World Bank and United Nations Development Program. The main goal of the study is to inspect Durkheim’s theory of anomie, as he views anomie as a threat to the stability and integration of society. So the study distinguishes such a formulation of anomie with that of Merton and his followers who reformulated it as a concept merely to explain the issue of crime. Independent variables of study include the Human Development Index (measured based on health, education, and income), Political Development Index (measured based on efficiency of government, rule of law, and accountability of government), social inequality, migration, access to the Internet, international economic integration, urbanization, gender development, and size of population, and their effects on anomie are examined by a OLS curvilinear regression technique.

As a consequence, his model, rooted in the classical tradition, plus its many extensions, generated an extensive literature at the center of development theory. The approach also encountered increasingly strong criticism, some of the “red herring” variety, but some, spearheaded by neoclassical microeconomists like Rosenzweig, also raised serious challenges, focused especially on its labor market assumptions. This paper reviews this landscape and asks what theoretical or policy relevance the Lewis model retains for today’s developing countries. Keywords: Development Theory, Dualism, Labor Markets JEL Classification: O11 Arthur Lewis’ Contribution to Development Thinking and Policy* Gustav Ranis Yale University 1. Introduction As is well known, the rebirth of the sub-discipline of development economics coincided more or less with the early post-World War II era.
