SOME COMMENTS OF RETURNING MATURE WOMEN STUDENTS IN DEGREE OR PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION COURSES . 166 INTRODUCTION "What is the difference between nationalism and chauvinism?" It was a probing question and one relevant to the subject--"The Canadian Political Seene"--under discussion at the final session ofa University of Manitoba Extension course sponsored in cooperation with the University Women's Club of Winnipeg. The questioner, a member of the class, afterward confessed to lingering resentment of hostile attitudes demonstrated by Canadians toward her German-born parents during World War II, althoughthey had come to Canada a decade previously and had becomeCanadian citizens, Apart from the International implications of the question,it led one to speculate whether the fact that classes (in both official languages)are being made available to allnewcomers, may point to some change in attitude toward those who come from other countries to shareour national life. But what has this to do with the continuing education of women? (Rathor one might ask what has not to do with the continuingeducation of women. And what vast areas of T5Wledge thereare to be explored!) That class in Winnipeg, in itself a mind-stretching enterprise, typifiesa definite trend in the continuing education ofwomen in Canada. Several divisions of university extension offer non-credit day-time classes chiefly, though not exclusively, for women often in cooperation withor at the request of a university women's club, alone or in combination with other women's groups in the community. Language classes for immigrant women, with correlated nursery or kindergarten programs for their children, not only help to prepare newcomers for citizenship but also foster mutual respect and understanding between "old" and "new" Canadians through the volunteers who are leaders. These programs, like others that are contributing to the continuing education of women in this country, are generally initiated by individuals with imagination, dynamism, and some genius for organization. Naturally enough where the education of women is the particularconcern, it is usually a woman who articulates the need and enlists cooperation and support to build a program. Usually too, since men tend to wield the administrative authority, there is a man or a group of men who recognize the merits ofa suggested project and give it their support. Moreover, such experimental developments in the education of women often yield learnings thatare more widely applicable in the field of adult education. It is the purpose of this report to describe some of these developing projects, how they were initiated, and what they are achieving. Some work-oriented programa One could scarcely find a better example of the continuing education of women than the Quo Vadis School of Nursing. It is not only unique but also truly pioneering. Imagine a school of nursing offering a two-year non- residential course for women between the ages of 30 and 50! With a few experimental exceptions, it has long been assumed that it takes threeyears to train a nurse. Nevertheless, there is just that kind of school in one of the boroughs of Metropolitan Toronto, and members of itsnow three classes of graduates are proving its efficacy in the practice of their profession. 2 Another incipient

  • Statistics Education and the Role of Technology
    Statistics Education and the Role of Technology Gail Burrill Mathematical Sciences Education Board, National Research Council, Washington, D.C. The world is changing dramatically. CD’s, the web, caller ID, grocery store debit machines, MRI’s: life today is very different from life thirty years ago. Computer assisted design, spreadsheet cost analysis, simulations, instant communication across cities and nations: the business world is very different from the business world thirty years ago. Information technology is transforming the way we do business and the way we live, and all indications are that even more change is imminent. In education just as in society and in the workforce, technology has the potential to make a profound impact. It can change the nature of the content we teach and the way we teach that content. In statistics, that potential is well on its way to becoming a reality. Although a Danish astronomer, Tyco Brahe, (1546-1601) was one of the first scientists to confront the problem of measurement error (Freedman et al, 1996), even in the early 1700's the nature of statistics was primarily qualitative probably due to the fact that there was very little quantitative data available (Ottaviani, 1989). Quantitative information became a reality in Hungary in 1784 with the first census; the first U.S. census was in 1790. This data was very difficult to manage, and by the late 1880's, a crisis had developed in the attempt to organize and process the large amounts of data collected through the U.S. census. While mathematicians and statisticians had continued over the years to develop statistics as a field, Herman Hollerith in response to this crisis produced a machine that would handle tabulations mechanically (Wallechinsky & Wallace, 1975).

  • History of Adult and Continuing Education
    History of Adult and Continuing Education The Adult and Continuing Education function has been central to the mission of the college since its founding in 1966. Originally it was one of three major college focal points along with vocational-technical education and student services. The department’s mission is consistent with several of the directives in SF550, the law that created the community college system in Iowa in 1966: Programs for in-service training and retraining of workers; Developmental education for persons academically or personally underprepared to succeed in their program of study; Programs for training, retraining, and preparation for productive employment of all citizens; and Programs for high school completion for students of post-high school age. The 1968 North Central Association Self Study prepared constructive notes as a first step toward regional accreditation on these major functions of the department: Adult and Continuing Education provided educational programs in four areas: adult basic education, adult high school diploma programs, high school equivalency programs, and general adult education. Adult basic education programs developed throughout the area provided instruction to adults with less than an eighth grade education. Adult high school diploma programs provided instruction to adults with a 10th grade education but less than a high school education. Students enrolled in these programs were working toward the completion of a high school program and the receipt of a diploma from an established secondary school within the area. High school equivalency programs provided instruction to students who had completed at least eighth grade, and by completing additional course work, could be granted a high school equivalency certificate by the Iowa State Department of Public Instruction.

  • Academic Transformation: the Forces Reshaping Higher Education in Ontario
    An agency of the Government of Ontario Ian D. Clark, Greg Moran, Michael L. Skolnik, and David Trick. Academic Transformation: The Forces Reshaping Higher Education in Ontario. Montreal and Kingston: Queen’s Policy Studies Series, McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2009. The book is available for purchase at http://mqup.mcgill.ca/book.php?bookid=2363 (English only). The thesis of this book is that the present approach to the provision of baccalaureate education in Ontario is not sustainable and is in need of significant modification. The stage for the present approach was set by two higher education policy decisions that were made in the 1960s: (1) that the colleges would have no role in the provision of baccalaureate credit activity; and (2) that the publicly supported universities would have complete autonomy in deciding on their purpose, mission, and objectives. While the universities had been primarily teaching institutions until the 1960s, since then a single idea of the mission of the university—the research university—has been adopted by all. A key element of the research university model to which the university community in Ontario has subscribed is that of the teacher-researcher ideal: that undergraduate students should be taught only by professors who are active researchers. Not only have all the universities embraced the research university model, but in the past two decades there has been a growing expectation from the public and the government for universities to produce knowledge that will enhance Canada’s economic well-being and international economic competitiveness. This new model has fostered substantial growth in university research, brought changes to the traditional research paradigm, and introduced new costs—both human and financial.

The researchers calculated an overall effect size of 0.566 from 70 studies, for a total of 219 effect-size measures from a sample of n = 40,125 participants. These results suggest that the typical student moved from the 50th percentile to the 73rd percentile when technology was used as part of the curriculum. This study demonstrates that subcategories can further the understanding of how the use of CAI in statistics education might be maximized. The study discusses im- plications and limitations.
