An investigation of the college and career counseling needs of economically disadvantaged,minority gifted students     

Paula M. Olszewski‐Kubilius  Joy M. Scott 《Roeper Review》2013,35(3):141-148

This study is an investigation of the college and career counseling needs of economically disadvantaged, academically gifted minority students. Two groups of students were studied and compared ‐ one group of 50 low‐income students, predominantly minority, who were chosen for a special college counseling program, and a second group of 42 middle to high income students, predominantly Asian and Caucasian, who were participating in a summer academic program. Students were compared on college plans and preparations, aspirations and expectations about higher education, support from others, motivation, values, and career interests and maturity. Results showed that the gifted disadvantaged students had lower educational aspirations, felt somewhat less prepared for college and less confident about being admitted, had unrealistic ideas about how to finance college, and perceived that college life would be more frightening and lonely compared to nondisadvantaged students. Student groups were similar in motivation to attend college, support from significant others and values. Disadvantaged students had better skills related to selecting a career but expressed less confidence in making a career decision. The results suggest a need for differentiated college counseling programs for disadvantaged minority students.  相似文献   

INFUSING GERONTOLOGICAL CONTENT INTO CURRICULA: EFFECTIVE CHANGE STRATEGIES     

Ronald K. Green  Paul K. Dezendorf  Sue B. Lyman  Scott R. Lyman 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(2):103-121

This paper presents a review of curriculum-change literature with a special focus on curricular infusion and an analysis of curriculum-change strategies. These strategies were used by 62 social work education programs involved in the national gerontological infusion project supported by the John T. Hartford Foundation. Best practices to achieve gerontological infusion in foundation courses are identified. Curriculum-change strategies that focus on involving all faculty members appear to be strongly supported by the curriculum-change literature and positive outcomes, as shown by the results of the study reported in this paper. The training of faculty and field instructors, the involvement of the foundation faculty as a whole in changing foundation curriculum, and the encouragement of faculty by accepted academic leaders to complete the infusion process, all appear to be key in successfully achieving this kind of curriculum change.  相似文献   

From Within the Belly of the Beast: Rethinking the Concept of the ‘Educational Marketplace’ in the Popular Discourse of Education Reform     

Scott Ellison 《Educational Studies A Journal of the American Educational Studies Association》2013,49(2):119-136

The task of this article is to carry out a synthetic analysis of the concept of the educational marketplace as it is used in the popular discourse of education reform so as to unpack what has become a commonsensical idea in American politics. It is a conceptual framework that has opened an ever-expanding sovereign space in the American state for the colonization of a public institution by the private sphere by means of public policy. The results of this analysis suggest that the reform policies associated with the concept of the educational marketplace are ineffective in raising average student achievement, have a high probability for generating significant social costs, and are a manifestation of an articulation of power now in ascendancy in the United States.  相似文献   

Commentary: Riding the Juggernaut   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

R. Scott Kretchmar 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2013,65(3):330-334

Critical race scholarship focuses on people of color, women, and the intersection of race and gender. Conversely, sport scholarship has refl ected the dominant White male culture. Sport culture ignores the experience of women and people of color, and most specifi cally ignores women who are people of color. This paper provides an overview of the existing sport literature and presents an introduction to the theory and literature on African American women in sport with particular attention to representation and silencing, socialization, and stereotyping. Sport scholars are encouraged to realize that all the women are not White and all the Blacks are not men (Hull, Scott, &; Smith, 1982), and that those individuals can have different experiences becoming involved and staying involved in sport.  相似文献

Alternating Currents: Sacramental and Prophetic Imagining and Church Education     

Kieran Scott 《Religious education (Chicago, Ill.)》2013,108(4):447-461

This article advocates that education ought to be movement toward a unity of conflicting but complementary forces in the life of the congregation/parish. This paradox is captured best in the two divergent forms of imagination, namely, the sacramental and prophetic, both of which are grounded and united in their commitment to seeing ultimate reality. Church education in and for sacramental and prophetic practices offers the possibility of revitalizing church life from within and, in turn, offers an outward response to repair our social and public world.  相似文献

Trends in Print vs. Electronic Use in School Libraries     

Scott Lanning  Ralph Turner 《The Reference Librarian》2013,54(3):212-221

To facilitate a comparison of reference services at academic and school libraries, a survey of resource use at school libraries was undertaken. The survey showed that electronic references sources are favored at all levels of schools. The resources used may be different, but the goal of the reference transaction is the same—to create a more information-literate student.  相似文献
