Thompson Alternative Approaches to Adjunct Brookdale Community College Faculty Development 3 1 A HUMAN DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP ON CULTURAL IDENTITY FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Cecilia Castro-Abad Brookdale Community College Lincroft, New Jersey The purpose of this paper is to outline a Human Development Workshop on Cultural Identity (Hud 96A for one credit), that I shall teach at Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, New Jersey during the Winter, 1996. Approximately twelve to fifteen students will be enrolled. The workshop will include exercises on cultural differences and similarities presented in ten sessions of one and a half hours each. To prepare the material, I have done research on cultural differences and cultural identity, and I have also interviewed thirty international students from Brookdale Community College. These interviews were conducted in a casual manner and individually.The students' answers have suggested what key aspects of the material would be most appropriate for the international students and what to emphasize in the exercises.As the leader of the workshop, I shall open each exercise by providing my own personal experience. At age eighteen, I was an exchange student from Ecuador in Salem, Oregon; my proposed workshop, therefore, is something I can relate to and for which I can provide personal examples. The proposed workshop will include exercises on: language cultural differences/similarities cultural identity achieving styles I will utilize literature included in the bibliography of this paper as reference materials during the workshop sessions. International students need special attention because they have been uprooted from their native culture and are no longer in their "comfort zone."When we uproot or transplant a bush or flower from one pot to another, or from a pot to the ground, it needs tender loving care in order to flourish in the new place. A human being who is uprooted needs that tender loving care, as well,Erik Erikson (1964) presents a similar analogy when he talks about being uprooted: 5 2 Beyond this you will recognize in the symbolism of ropes a variation on the theme of roots which pervades our imagery on the subject of transmigration. There roots are torn out or are brought along, dry up in transit or are kept moist and alive, find an appropriate soil, or fail to take hold and wither. (p.88) My desire in this workshop is to help international students feel free enough to express their feelings about displacement in a setting along with other international students. They will have in common the fact that they have left their cultures behind to enter a new culture and have now become foreigners and minorities.In addition, the members of this group all share the problem of having English as a second language and of speaking with an accent. This camaraderie and commonalty will give them a sense of belonging to this group. As Professor Marsha Levy-Wfirren of Princeton University states in Leaving Home: On The Formation Of Cultural Identity: cultural identity permits people to feel the sense of belonging which was once reserved for their homes in situations other than home and with people other than members of their families. What children perceive in concrete terms (a place in which they belong), adolescents perceive in more abstract form (a group to which they belong).This occurs in tandem with and is made possible by the fuller development of the capacity for abstract thought in adolescence. (p.2) It is especially hard for adolescents whose personal histories have left them in a state of cultural loss or confusion to find a comfortable niche for themselves in the multicultural world in which they live. (p.3) In the novels Lost in Translation, by Eva Hoffinui '(1989), and How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, by Julia Alvarez (1991), there are many descriptions in which the main characters struggle with the hope of trying to find inner peace and a sense of identity. For example Eva's melancholy is shown in her homesickness for the places and people she left behind in Cracow: Underneath my carefully trained serenity, there is a caldron of seething lost loves and a rage at the loss. And there is- for all. 3 that- a longing for a less strenuous way to maintain my identity and my pride. I want to gather experience with both my hands, not only with my soul. Essential humanity is all very well, but we need the colors of our time and the shelter of a spec fic place. (p.139) Professor Levy-Warren (October 1994) stated in a class lecture included in the course "The Formation of Ethno-Cultural Identity" that, upon leaving a culture of origin, there is a mourning process for one's past culture. I can relate very keenly to this concept because when I decided to leave Ecuador and reside in the United States, I did not realize then that I too would mourn my lost culture. During the specific holidays of the city where I grew up, I have at times felt so homesick that I have telephoned my family to know how they were celebrating

I was ready to leave home as soon as I finished college. As a child, my grandmother took me on bus trips to California, where beaches and flowering tree gardens lured me away from desert landscapes and endless days of sun.

Nijairul, IJSRR 2018, 7(4), 1969-1982 Research article Available online www.ijsrr.org ISSN: 2279–0543 International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews Meaning and nature of human intelligence: A review Islam Md. Nijairul Gazole Mahavidyalaya, Malda, West Bengal, India. PIN 732124. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT How to define intelligence seems to be a conundrum with human race. People have been pondering over the nature of intelligence for millennia. Simply put, intelligence is the ability to learn about, learn from, understand and interact with one‟s environment. This mental ability helps one in the task of theoretical as well as practical manipulation of things, objects or events present in one‟s environment in order to adapt to or face new challenges and problems of life as successfully as possible. Some psychometric theorists like Spearman believed that intelligence is a basic ability that affects performance on all cognitively oriented tasks – from computing mathematical problems to writing poetry or solving riddles, and that it can be measured through IQ tests. On the other hand, cognitive theorists like Earl B. Hunt hold that intelligence comprises of a set of mental representations of information and a set of processes that can operate on the mental representations. The latest ones – cognitive-contextual theorists of intelligence such as Howard Gardner – think that cognitive processes operate in various environmental contexts. The present paper tries to understand the meaning and nature of human intelligence from various perspectives, development of intelligence, and its measurement. KEY WORDS: Intelligence, understanding, psychometric theory, cognitive theory, cognitive- contextual theory.

  • Establishing the Experimenting Society: the Historical Origin of Social
    Establishing the experimenting society: The historical origin of social experimentation according to the randomized controlled design TRUDY DEHuE University of Groningen " This article traces the historical origin of social experimentation. It highlights the central role of psychology in establishing the randomized controlled de- sign and its quasi-experimental derivatives. The author investigates the differ- ences in the 19th- and 20th-century meaning of the expression "social experi- . ment.n She rejects the image of neutrality of social experimentation, arguing-' that its 20th-century advocates promoted specific representations of cognitive competence and moral trustworthiness. More specifically, she demonstrates that the randomized controlled experiment and its quasi-experimental derivatives epitomize the values of efficiency and impersonality characteristic of the liber- al variation of the 20th-century welfare state. In 1969, experimental psychologist Donald T. Campbell published an article that would become a classic in the social sciences. The article bears the style of a political appeal. "The United States and other mod- em nations," Campbell proclaimed, "should be ready for an experimen- tal approach to social reform, an approach in which we tryout new programs designed to cure specific social problems" (Campbell, 1969, p. 409; for discussions of the article as a classic article, see Rossi & Free- man, 1985; Bulmer, 1986; Shadish, Cook, & Leviton, 1991; Brewer & Cook, 1996; Dunn, 1998). In the history of natural science and psychology, the word experimen- tal has been used loosely for various procedures (Kuhn, 1962; Hacking, 1983; Galison, 1997; Danziger, 1990; Winston, 1990; Winston & Blais, 1996). In Campbell's vocabulary, however, it had a distinct meaning: ."True" experimentation implies that particular groups of people are subjected to a treatment and are compared with an untreated control group.

If the results cf such testing are used for the purpose for which they were designed and are interpreted carefully and accurately, then the results can be used to indicate what kind of teaching methods should be utilized; what kind cf cognitive strengths exhibited by the pupil can be capitalized upcn; and what kind cf cognitive weaknesses can be strengthened. It has been the use of IQ tests that has made educators and psychologists aware of the cultural environmental deficits exhibited by certain groups of children. The school is the primary agent that helps children to maximize their potentials, thus enabling them to cope N th their environment. Intelligence test scores, when intelligently applied, are the best data available for getting a predictive statement about school achievement. The scores can provide a great deal cf meaningful and helpful information about a child, but it must be remembered that a given score means something different for each child whc obtains it.

The Theaetetus is typically taken as the first work of epistemology, in which Socrates and Theaetetus fail to find satisfactory any of the three proposed definitions of knowledge – that it is perception, that it is true opinion and that it is true opinion with an account. I argue that the discussion of these claims is in aid of demonstrating Socrates' pedagogy, and that the examination of his method of questioning Theaetetus causes to emerge a reading of the text placing primary emphasis on the presentation of his activity as a midwife of ideas, i.e.
