ABSTRACT

Sexual misconduct is a major psychological, emotional, and public health crisis that manifests itself in social and academic arenas including community college campuses. Problems of sexual misconduct that emerge for women and men are not based solely on a difference in gender, but in silence once an incident occurs. The strife that emerges for students can be devastating and pervasive. College counselors, who provide counseling services and training programs, can offset the potentially negative consequences. This article highlights a training program for student leaders that underscores the significance of reporting sexual misconduct incidents at a 2-year college. This article provides percentage data to reflect the perceptions participants had following such training. The training discussed will further the understanding of how to take a proactive approach in reporting incidents of sexual misconduct. Prompting research along this line of training will provide important information to college-student personnel who are vested in creating a transformation to decrease incidents of sexual misconduct on 2-year college campuses.  相似文献   

Syndicate methods: two styles compared   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

A comparison is made between two styles of syndicate work. In the first, referred to as unstructured (U), groups range in size from four to six students. In the second, referred to as formal (F), groups are eight to ten in size and tend to adopt a formal chairman-secretary structure. This latter type is here illustrated by one of the authors from his experience in a Medical School, where the tasks presented to the students are complex problem boxes requiring many man-hours from different departments for their creation. The analysis of the U type is based on the second author's experience in an American university and an English polytechnic.The areas examined are, first, the size and the composition of the groups; second the tutor's role; third, the development of higher order cognitive skills in the students; and fourth the management of research in this field. Questions are raised particularly in relation to the consolidation of syndicate work, to ensure command of the basic material; to the change of role required of both teachers and students; to the influence of the institutional culture on the work; to the adaptation of assessment techniques to measure development in the higher order skills; and to the possibility that investigation needs to be carried out on actual courses by teachers, students and researchers in collaboration.  相似文献
