An increase in educator expectations of student character growth during participation in a community of practice
Character education is a priority for many schools and teachers, with several prominent frameworks concerning the philosophy and practice of character and virtues in the field of education. Educators are often prepared to teach character through training programs and professional development. Yet there has been less attention to the possible role of Communities of Practice (COPs) in fostering teacher effectiveness, particularly for the encouragem…
Higher Education in the Twenty-First Century; What's the Mission
The “mission” of a sector of society can encompass a range of possibilities. Sometimes, the mission is broad. Sometimes, it is narrow. Sometimes constant, sometimes changing. Missions serve as guideposts. They articulate a central purpose or goal, which should help to structure decisions and actions: as examples, who should be served, exactly what should be done, how the work is carried out, which measures can determine whether the mission is act…
Revisiting Susanne Langer's Philosophy in a New Key-Again
Scholars and critics of literature—as well as enthusiastic, if less garlanded readers—often talk about the importance of revisiting texts that once had significance for them. The teenage reader will likely react differently to The Great Gatsby, Moby-Dick, or Huck Finn than will the mature adult; and of course, those texts are well worth periodic reimmersion.Except for scholars, readers are less likely to return to influential nonfiction works, ev…
Criteria for Romanian geniuses’ selection as source for a new heritage tourism product
Cultural heritage constantly evolves, contributes fundamentally to human development, and increases collective life's quality. Cultural assets are considered a treasure that must be protected accordingly and passed on to future generations. Among tourism resources, material and immaterial assets belonging to famous people are essential for this industry and for promoting Romanian cultural values. In this framework, the purpose of the study is to …
Does truth have a future in higher education
Most institutions of higher education presume that the pursuit of truth is central to their missions. However, the status of truth has been seriously challenged in contemporary society—by postmodern critiques, confusion about the goals and methods of scholarly disciplines, and the seductive power of social and other digital media. In this essay, we describe a major empirical study of higher education in the United States. While faculty and senior…
Characterization of Airborne Particles Emitted During Application of Cosmetic Talc Products
A pilot study was undertaken to characterize the concentration, duration and particle size distribution of the talc cloud that forms in the personal breathing zone (PBZ) during application of certain talc-containing cosmetics. Multiple direct-reading instruments were employed to simultaneously monitor PM 4 concentrations (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 3 ) at different distances from each of three subjects while they applied talc pr…
The App Generation: How Today's Youth Navigate Identity, Intimacy, and Imagination in a Digital World
No one has failed to notice that the current generation of youth is deeply—some would say totally—involved with digital media. Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today’s young people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what it means to be “app-dependent” versus “app-enabled” and how life for this generation differs from life before the digital era. Gardner and Davis are concerned with three vital areas of ad…
Reestablishing the Commons for the Common Good
For individuals living in a small community, the notion of “common good” seems almost natural; it can be thought of simply as neighborly morality. However, in a complex modern society, it is far more challenging for individuals to define and agree upon what is the common good. Nonetheless, two contemporary roles would benefit from embracing a broader sense of the good: 1) membership in a profession; and 2) membership in a polity. Drawing on findi…
Educating for Good Work: From Research to Practice
Launched in 1995, the GoodWork Project is a long-term, multi-site effort to understand the nature of good work across the professional landscape and to promote its achievement by relevant groups of students and professionals. In this essay, the authors review the goals and methods of the initial research project and its most salient findings. They describe the GoodWork Toolkit, a versatile instrument that consists of actual dilemmas faced by prof…

Developmental Psychology after Piaget. An Approach in Terms of Symbolization
While many of Piaget’s contributions have already been assimilated into developmental psychology, certain limitations in his approach have become evident. Piaget’s emphasis on logical-rational thought and his correlative neglect of the vehicles by which knowledge is carried point up the need for a new, post-Piagetian perspective. An approach to cognitive development which builds upon certain of Piaget’s assumptions and methods but which takes int…
Style Sensitivity in Children
Traditional views of the process of style discrimination are presented and recent findings on the development of style sensitivity are reviewed. Style sensitivity in a connoisseur is seen as a complex capacity involving sensitivity to persons, sensitivity to objects, the discernment of gestalten and the application of rules for discriminating among art objects. Factors affecting the development of style sensitivity are discussed and a tentative m…
Exercising Quality Control in Interdisciplinary Education: Toward an Epistemologically Responsible Approach
This article argues that certain philosophically devised quality control parameters should guide approaches to interdisciplinary education. We sketch the kind of reflections we think are necessary in order to produce epistemologically responsible curricula. We suggest that the two overarching epistemic dimensions of levels of analysis and basic viewpoints go a long way towards clarifying the structure of interdisciplinary validity claims. Through…
When False Representations Ring True (and When They Don't)
We examine the circumstances under which young people engage in fabricated self-representations and explore the individual and societal factors that compel and sanction these fabrications. There are circumstances under which self-fabrications may have beneficial effects and are, thus, authorized representations of the self. In contrast, a false, or unauthorized, self-representation is one that results in harm to the self, to others, and/or societ…
Making Good: How Young People Cope with Moral Dilemmas at Work
You're young, ambitious, entering the field of your dreams; you're on your own, the competition is fierce--and then you see your chance: the big story, the big role, the big discovery. But you'll have to cut a few corners, bend the rules, cheat a bit. What choices will you make? After studying more than a hundred young people launching their careers, these longtime researchers of "good work"--work that is both skillful and honorable--find unsettl…

A Case Against Spiritual Intelligence
Whether spirituality should be considered an intelligence depends upon definitions and criteria. Emmons tends to lump together different aspects of spirituality and also various facets of psychology. In my response, I demonstrate the advantages of teasing these concepts apart. Those aspects of spirituality that have to do with phenomenological experience or with desired values or behaviors are best deemed external to the intellectual sphere. A re…
A Disciplined Approach to School Reform
School reform is a notoriously ambitious undertaking; even among school reform efforts, ATLAS stands out in terms of the scope of its ambition. Seeking to address education from kindergarten through 12th grade, the ATLAS program includes the creation of planning and management teams, the forging of ties to the wider community; the incorporation of up-to-date technologies; and substantial reconsideration of crucial aspects of curriculum, instructi…
The Vehicle and the Vehicles of Leadership
According to a cognitive perspective, leaders affect the beliefs, feelings, and actions of followers through the stories that they tell and the lives that they lead. Such leadership can be achieved directly or indirectly; in the latter case, the leader affects others through the creation of a powerful symbolic object. Among the evocative vehicles available to leaders are well-entrenched institutions and cultural artifacts such as monuments. Over …
Educational Implications of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences
A new approach to the conceptualization and assessment of human intelligences is described. According to Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, each human being is capable of seven relatively independent forms of information processing, with individuals differing from one another in the specific profile of intelligences that they exhibit. The range of human intelligences is best assessed through contextually based, "intelligence-fair" instru…
The development of metaphoric understanding
Two tasks were used to assess children's capacities to interpret metaphoric statements. Subjects ranging in age from 6 to 14 years were required either to explain a metaphoric sentence or to select one of four possible paraphrases. There was a developmental trend toward appropriate apprehension of metaphor. Several steps preceding mature comprehension were described: metonymic and primitivemetaphoric interpretations were frequent prior to the age…
Multiple Intelligences Go to School: Educational Implications of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences
The Computer as Educator: Lessons From Television Research
Research on the educational facets of television has been marred by a number of blunders that stand in danger of being repeated in the new wave of educational research on computers. Despite the clear differences in purpose and scope between television and computers, some useful lessons can be drawn from earlier assumptions about learning from television. In this paper, it is argued that "computer researchers" should do the following: (a) avoid as…

How Domains Constrain Creativity: The Case of Traditional Chinese and Western Painting
Creativity has been traditionally studied from the point of view of the individual creator, and it has been assumed that creativity is the same across all knowledge domains. An argument is advanced for a new view of creativity-one that builds on the nature of the domains in which creative work can be carried out. Through a case analysis of Western and Chinese painting, it is argued that the two seemingly similar domains, in fact, differ greatly i…

A pluralistic view of early assessment: The project spectrum approach
This is a time of unusual ferment in early education. Serious debate over how to provide quality programming for young children entering school settings continues as demands for care become more pressing (Fiske, 1986). While some educators propose the integration of 4-year-olds into public school systems (Ambach, 1985), others express misgivings about the potential downward extension of formal schooling and testing to such children (Elkind, 1986;…

Children's metaphoric productions and preferences
The capacity to perceive similarity between apparently dissimilar domains is widely regarded as crucial to creative thought; yet little is known about the development of this ‘metaphoric’ skill. To assess children's capacities to effect appropriate ‘metaphoric links’, and to discriminate among metaphors of varying appropriateness, a task probing verbal metaphoric skill was designed. Subjects ranging in age from 4 to 19 years were required to comp…

Giftedness: Speculations from a biological perspective
Recent neurobiological findings permit speculation on the existence of several distinct realms of competence, each developing at its own pace and in its own way. Combined with a spirit of playfulness, giftedness may develop from any combination of these sources
