Cohen, Michael J. (1986). Making Nature's Wisdom Public: The Affirmation of Planet Earth as a Living Organism. Planet Earth is a living organism that preserves and regenerates itself and shares information with humans through sensations, feelings, and actions. After early humans migrated from their tropical origins to colder climates, they developed technologies to impose their tropical memories on their new surroundings and lost touch with their ancient partnerships with the natural world. Today culture's nature-abandoning tendencies train hunger for food into habitual desires for money, land, and material goods; demean inborn nature; create chronic stress in human lives; and through information and technology, separate people from the holistic experience of life. Unlike traditional academics, experiential learning evokes feelings and actions as well as thoughts. To avoid stress and environmental destruction, experiential education must reunite human inner nature with the sentient living Earth. Only when feelings, experiences, and nature synchronize does the human mentality touch the…

Cadbury, Jr., William E. (1968). Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship Program. The Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for students who went to college with inferior preparation to supplement their education by studying for 1 year at an academically demanding liberal arts college before entering graduate or professional school. The post-baccalaureate fellows take regular courses in a program that is arranged to suit their special needs for which they do not receive formal graduate credit. The students are provided with full financial support for the academic year but are expected to earn the Ph.D. degree later and to enter careers of college or university teaching and research. Most of the fellowships have been awarded to students who were recruited from predominantly Negro colleges, but some have been held by white students from Appalachia and 1 Mexican-American. The program, however, is designed for all students who qualify. Participating colleges include Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Oberlin, Swarthmore, Knox, Kalamazoo, and Pomona. The… [PDF]

Sawano, Yukiko (1997). Lifelong Learning: An Instrument for Improving School Education in Japan?. Although Japanese society has long valued and practiced lifelong learning, it has not yet been successful in building an ethic that prizes learning, teaches creativity, and includes everyone. Bureaucratic and legal mechanisms undertaken in Japan to promote lifelong learning have included the establishment of Lifelong Learning Councils, a system for implementing local measures; liaisons and cooperation schemes for municipalities and prefectures; and criteria for delivering and assessing learning programs and needs. Many local governments have also subsidized "model projects" that promote lifelong learning. Despite these fiscal investments, problems of local implementation, coordination between private and public sectors, reorganization of non-formal education, and lack of administration exist. To foster lifelong learning, elementary and secondary curricula have been reformed to emphasize problem-solving and independent thinking skills, as well as cultivate children's… [PDF]

Enright, Robert D.; Rapp, Hannah; Wang Xu, Jiahe (2022). A Meta-Analysis of Forgiveness Education Interventions' Effects on Forgiveness and Anger in Children and Adolescents. Child Development, v93 n5 p1249-1269 Sep-Oct. Forgiveness education interventions instruct children and adolescents in understanding forgiveness and its role in healthy relationships. In this meta-analytic review, 20 studies involving 1472 youth (51% female; M[subscript age] = 11.66) from 10 countries (studies: 40% North American, 25% East Asian, 20% Middle Eastern, 15% European) were retrieved to determine forgiveness education interventions' effects on youth outcomes. Hedges' g and confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess treatment effects. Findings suggest that forgiveness education interventions have a significant positive effect on forgiveness (g = 0.54, 95% CI [0.36, 0.73]) and anger (g = 0.29, 95% CI [0.11, 0.47]). Results lend support to the idea that children and adolescents who experience hurt from the unjust actions of others may benefit from learning about the process of forgiveness…. [Direct]

Hanford, George H. (1993). How To Save the World: Through Critical Thinking. Education is the best hope for peace and progress in the world, and because education is best given and received when infused with critical thinking, critical thinking can save the world. Some of the most serious problems facing humankind are overpopulation and famine. The problems of ethnicity, colonialism, and religion further complicate matters worldwide. From the global perspective of questioning and analyzing situations in Malaysia, Norway, and other countries, the emphasis shifts to the problems in the classrooms of the United States. From surveying urban school teachers and college professors of inner city students, the academic competencies students need to develop are reading, writing, speaking and listening, mathematics, studying, and drawing conclusions from data. The last is known as critical thinking skills and is basic to effective learning. Students need the competencies to master subject matter, need the subject matter on which to hone the competencies, and need the… [PDF]

Gaston Bacquet Quiroga (2023). Decolonising Non-Violence: What Indigenous Wisdom Traditions Contribute to Non-Violence Teacher Education. International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning, v15 n2 p69-86. Knowledge systems and social philosophies from Indigenous communities in the Global South have long promoted non-violence through a sense of shared humanity and community building, and as such are valid counter-hegemonic alternatives to the existing colonial, Eurocentric model of knowledge production in use. This article details the contributions made by two specific Indigenous wisdom traditions — ubuntu and Buen Vivir — to a non-violence education teacher training programme in Chile framed within decolonial epistemologies. Using participatory workshops as a method, this study sought to offer Chilean trainee teachers a set of tools to explore issues of discrimination and exclusion and to deal with tensions arising from these issues informed by non-violent approaches. Participants read and reflected on how these wisdom traditions could contribute to their own teaching practice and later planned and facilitated a session with their peers to help them develop awareness on the… [PDF]

Schools of California Online Resources for Education (SCORE): Connecting California's Classrooms to the World. This problem-based learning unit asks students to assume roles as experts from countries that participated in World War I. These experts will meet both in expert groups and with their respective country representatives to determine what terms, in four specific areas, should be included in the treaty that will formally end the war. Next, they must decide as countries whether they will sign the treaty they have negotiated. Finally, students will compare the treaty they create with the Treaty of Versailles to determine which treaty would most likely ensure long lasting peace in Europe. Students are provided with background information, detailed instructions, and online resources. The teacher's notes explain the unit's correlation to history/social science and language arts standards, suggest day-by-day teaching strategies, present a culminating assessment exercise, and provide an evaluation rubric, a student evaluation form, and a group evaluation form.

Morphew, Christopher C. (2007). Fixed-Tuition Pricing: A Solution that May Be Worse than the Problem. Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, v39 n1 p34-39 Jan-Feb. Fixed-tuition plans, which vary in specifics from institution to institution, rely on a common principle: Students pay the same annual tuition costs over a pre-determined length of time, ostensibly the time required to earn an undergraduate degree. Students, parents, and policymakers are demonstrating growing interest in such plans. At face value, these plans have broad appeal. By providing them, colleges and universities can claim that they are offering parents and students the comfort of knowing exactly how much tuition they will be charged during the student's tenure at the institution. This peace of mind is of significant value to those facing the prospect of paying ever-increasing tuition costs. Meanwhile, politicians and policymakers can cite the plans as proof that they are holding down the cost of a postsecondary education. These plans, however, may not be all that they seem. This author contends that, in reality, they offer no actual cost savings, rather they are likely to… [Direct]

Alger, Chadwick (1974). Inventories of Facts, Theories and Assumptions of Students in International Relations Classes. This article contains three diagnostic tests which can be used in international relations classes at the secondary or collegiate level. They provide the teacher with an inventory of the international knowledge of students so that he can more effectively build on this knowledge and assist specific students in acquiring necessary background. The first text, a questionnaire in which students give their reactions to 24 ways to peace, has been administered to young people in ten countries in Europe and Asia. The results of their scores are included in the article. Students can compare their responses with the scores for these ten countries. The international organization fact test has questions about characteristics of the entire population of international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations, with particular attention given to the United Nations system.

Mino, Milton (2003). Implementing a School Safety Project: An Evaluation of the I.S. 275 Brownsville Youth for Peace School Safety Project. In 1999, a small Brooklyn middle school in a high-crime neighborhood created the Brownsville Youth for Peace (BYFP) school safety project. The school's students have low test scores, and parents are generally not involved in school activities. BYFP coordinators (school staff, teachers, and students) assessed the nature of the school's safety problems, then developed nine small projects for reducing bullying. Researchers examined project records and interviewed participating teachers, students, staff, the principal, a consultant, and the BYFP's liaison at the New York City Department of Education. Overall, although coordinators thoroughly reviewed the school's safety problems, they were unsure of how to address many of the problems identified, particularly those related to factors outside of school, such as family relationships and neighborhood gangs, which contributed to incidents at school. While the BYFP was initially able to recruit students, teachers, parents, and police… [PDF]

Silver, Margaret B. (1986). Open Enrollment: The Professional Management of Chaos. Open enrollment is an essential feature of the Education Department of the International Institute in St. Louis, a refugee sponsoring group offering a wide range of social, housing, and medical services; job counseling and placement; and English as a second language classes. The institute allows students to begin a language training program immediately when time may be a crucial factor in becoming self-sufficient. The necessary features of an open enrollment program are that it is accessible, has specific and achievable goals, provides needed community orientation, is sucess-oriented, and is organized. Funding agencies want accountability, and teachers want the support, time, and peace to work. The program gatekeeper, in this case the receptionist, is critical in facilitating a smooth and speedy enrollment. Pre-placement assessment should underline the student's abilities and show what the program can do for him or her. Recordkeeping must be meticulous and accurate and reflect the…

Examples of intermediate level competencies are that students will be able to demonstrate the ability to locate a variety of sources of information…

Arkin, Linda, Ed. (1998). World Concerns and the United Nations: Model Teaching Units for Primary, Secondary, and Teacher Education Based on the Work of Participants in the UN Fellowship Programme for Educators and the UNESCO Associated Schools Project. Second Revised Edition. Today's educators face the daunting challenge of preparing new generations of young people for life in a world undergoing economic, political, and cultural changes on a scale unmatched in history. After five decades, the United Nations remains at the center of the global effort to ensure peace and the equitable enjoyment of the planet's resources. Yet instruction about the United Nations' work in the curricula and textbooks in many of schools remains inadequate. There is a vital need to enhance the education of young students regarding the ever more dynamic interconnections of their world and the central role that the United Nations plays in promoting harmonious relations among governments and peoples everywhere. Various United Nations organizations have produced practical teaching materials to help meet the need. This edition has been thoroughly updated, reflecting many innovative ideas and practices adopted by international educators. Chapter titles include: (1) "We, the…

Moffett, George D. (1994). Global Population Growth: 21st Century Challenges. Headline Series No. 302. This booklet examines the highly complex and highly nuanced subject of population growth and its consequences. The subject is controversial because it lies at the intersection of so many different disciplines. The primary purpose of the book is to define the large measure of common ground that exists among experts with respect to two critical points: (1) what needs to be done; and (2) what can be done. Such an understanding is necessary since population growth is one of the global problems that will bear most heavily on the peace and prosperity of the international system in the future. Chapters include: (1) \Rapid Population Growth: Truths and Consequences\; (2) \The Explosion of the Cities\; (3) \Feeding the World\; (4) \Models of Family Planning\; (5) \Women's Education and Empowerment\; and (6) \U.S. Policy and the Global Agenda.\ Monographs in FPA's Headline Series are published approximately four times a year and are intended as a resource for teachers and students in the…
