Kinghorn, Jon Rye (1979). A Step-by-Step Guide for Conducting a \Consensus and Diversity\ Workshop in Global Education. School Improvement through Global Education. The document explains how to plan a two-day orientation workshop in which high school faculty and staff examine global issues prior to developing and implementing a global education program. In addition to increasing awareness of global issues, the program is intended to improve the educational environment by promoting cooperation between students, teachers, administrators, and community members. The workshop requires that common goals be agreed on by all participants. After initial consensus is reached, diversity is encouraged in seeking suggestions to solutions of global problems. The workshop stresses commitment by school staff for a one-year classroom study of global issues, support by superintendent and school board, and a statement of workshop goals by the project steering committee. Workshop activities are carried out in small groups consisting of individuals representing different ages, sexes, experiences, disciplines, personalities, and philosophies. Workshop sessions focus…

Grauer, Kit, Ed. (1994). Art Education for Children in Crisis. INSEA News, v1 n2 Aug. The articles in this volume reflect a resolution passed by the International Society for Education Through Art (INSEA) World Council to provide children with opportunities to work in the arts so that the healing process that the arts can foster can be initiated. The lead article in this issue, "Heart Goes towards the Sun: Work with Children Refugees and Displaced Children in Croatia and Central Bosnia" (Emile Robert Tanay), provides a glimpse of the powerful words and images that led to this resolution. Commentaries on this presentation are "On Confronting Violence through Art" (Jerome J. Hausman), and "War & Peace" (Debbie Smith-Shank). "In Times of War and Fear" (Britt-Marie Kuhlhorn), reminds people that it is not only current children's images that can be the impetus for learning in the art classroom. Kuhlhorn also focuses on the relationship of gender to artistic response as a research agenda worth pursuing. "Notes from the… [PDF]

Hatcher, Halene (1950). Better Living through Wise Use of Resources. Bulletin, 1950, No. 15. Office of Education, Federal Security Agency As never before, nations the world over are considering conservation a problem of vital concern to all peoples and an obligation which must be accepted by each person. It is becoming increasingly recognized that steps leading toward the establishment of harmonious relations between man and his environment will go a long way toward resolving the world's paramount problem–that of effecting continuing peace among peoples. The people of the United States have long expressed their concern for conservation through programs of education and action carried on by Federal and State governmental agencies and through programs outside the Government. This country also has actively cooperated in international programs to further conservation. The schools of America have contributed substantially to the achievement of conservation goals in this country. The ultimate success of any conservation program depends on public opinion, and public opinion can be created through education. In a democratic… [PDF]

Bel Geddes, Joan (1997). Childhood and Children: A Compendium of Customs, Superstitions, Theories, Profiles, and Facts. Children and childhood are almost completely ignored in most history books, encyclopedias, anthologies, and almanacs, which concentrate on the achievement of the adult half of the world's population. This book is intended to fill the gap by focusing on childhood, and presents an array of facts, anecdotes, profiles, and observations about children and childhood around the world and throughout history. Following a brief introduction noting that childhood is a valuable common thread in a time when many seem intent on stressing differences in race, class, culture and gender, the chapters of the book are: (1) "The History of Childhood"; (2) "Children in Folklore, Mythology, and Religion"; (3) "Childbirth and Newborns"; (4) "Health Care and Children with Disabilities"; (5) "Child Development"; (6) "Children and Family Life"; (7) "Child Rearing and Education"; (8) "Child's Play and Toys"; (9) "Children's…

(1992). Provisions and Guiding Proposals concerning the Curriculum in Health and Sex Education. These guidelines for a health and sex education curriculum in Denmark outline the curriculum's aims and content.

(1983). International Education, Foreign Exchange and Scholarships. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Postsecondary Education of the Committee on Education and Labor. House of Representatives, Ninety-Eighth Congress, First Session. Hearings on international student exchanges are presented. Information is presented on the countries of origin of foreign students in the United States and the fields they tend to study. It is noted that only 2.2 percent of foreign students studying in the United States are provided scholarships by the U.S. Government; the vast majority are financed by their families' funds (68 percent), while the costs of 13 percent are covered by their home governments. Testimony suggests that educational exchange programs promote public diplomacy, international understanding, and economic competence in developing countries. It is noted that the Soviet Union's student exchange program concentrates almost exclusively on students from lesser developed countries, and the Soviets recruit and train students at their expense. A report is included that provides information on the major exchange programs sponsored by the Peace Corps, the Agency for International Development, the Department of Defense, the… [PDF]

Hurwitz, Howard L. (1988). The Last Angry Principal. In March 1976, Howard L. Hurwitz, then a principal in Long Island City Schools, was barricaded in his office by community supporters to prevent him from being fired for an action he took to maintain discipline in the school. This book is Hurwitz's personal account of his subsequent struggles with the New York City schools, including his arrest by a federal judge for refusing to submit to him data on the race and ethnic origins of teachers and students at Long Island City High School. From these personal accounts, the book moves to a broader discussion of the breakdown of order and discipline in schools, and the steps that now must be taken to restore excellence to schools. These latter chapters include the following: (1) "Peace Strikers Declare War on Schools;" (2) "Students' Rights and Wrongs"; (3) "Free Press: Student Style"; (4) "Discipline: Underpinning of Learning;" (5) "Teachers' Strikes: A Sword That Cuts Two Ways"; (6)…

Chandler, Alice (1985). Foreign Students and Government Policy: Britain, France, and Germany. The impact of European government policy on the movement of foreign students in Great Britain, France, and West Germany is discussed by a member of the American Council on Education Committee on Foreign Students. Foreign student enrollments have increased dramatically in these three countries in the 1960s and 1970s, and foreign students also make up a significant proportion of total student enrollments in each of the three countries. Britain and France heavily enroll students from former colonies. Each of the countries has experienced disproportionate enrollments from a limited number of foreign countries. Policies adopted for foreign students reflect, in part, the influence of immigration issues and attitudes toward ethnicity. Each of the countries has recently altered its policies to restrict and control the flow of foreign students, using tuition or entrance requirements. In 1980 Great Britain decided to impose full-cost fees on foreign students. One rationale for Germany's… [PDF]

JOHN KNOWLES'"A SEPARATE PEACE," FOR EXAMPLE, LENDS ITSELF TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LITERARY CRITICISM. AN ARCHETYPAL INTERPRETATION OF KNOWLES' THEMATIC PURPOSE REVEALS THAT THE NOVEL IS BASED ON TWO MYTHS–THE INITIATION OF INNOCENCE INTO EXPERIENCE AND THE SACRIFICE OF THE PURE AND INNOCENT FOR THE WELFARE OF ANOTHER.

Hume, Susan E. (1996). A Resource Guide To Teaching about Africa. ERIC Resource Guide. People from African countries who visit the United States often are stunned by how little people know about African countries. Africa is a large continent more than 3 times the size of the continental United States, and it contains over 50 independent countries. One out of every three member states in the United Nations is an African country. One out of every 10 people in the world lives on the African continent. Increasingly, the United States has economic, political, and organizational ties to African countries. This ERIC Resource Guide provides suggestions and resources for teaching and learning about Africa. The lesson strategies cover confronting African myths and stereotypes; avoiding faulty generalizations; presenting a balanced view; limiting the scope of African study; and avoiding outdated materials. Methods for integrating the study of Africa into elementary and secondary school curricula through the disciplines of social studies (extends to United States history,… [PDF]

Woodruff, Jennifer E. (2000). Voices of Change: Women's Experiences at Lake Forest College, 1955-1975. This study examines the experiences of women at Lake Forest College, Illinois, from 1955-75 through questionnaires sent to women alumni and present and past faculty and staff requesting information on demographics, academic/extracurricular activities, campus life, social and political change, career expectations, and attitudes. Chapter 1 sketches the general history of Lake Forest College. Chapter 2 describes the years from 1955-65, a generally very conservative period with rules governing many aspects of women's lives. Things began to change at the end of this period, as the campus reacted to the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy's assassination, the gathering momentum of the civil rights movement, enrollment of liberal students from the East, and the Vietnam War. Chapter 3 examines the years between 1965-75, a key period during which the campus experienced drastic changes sparked by national movements. The civil rights movement expanded, the Vietnam War escalated, the peace… [PDF]

Nieuwenhuis, Jan (2004). From Equality of Opportunity to Equality of Treatment as a Value-Based Concern in Education. Perspectives in Education, v22 n3 p55-64 Sep. The article argues that concepts, such as equality and values, are caught up in the quagmire of contestations about meanings and their use within educational contexts. The author argues that all concepts that describe an essential element of being human should therefore firstly be understood in terms of this relation to other concepts, and secondly, within the context of society where each collective part of society imparts its own unique meaning to the concept. In analysing values and equality the author indicates that values are first and foremost personal cognitive and affectively laden constructs that could be shared by the collective, but do not of necessity overlap completely with those of other members of the collective. This raises the questions: whose values should be included in education and how should they be taught? Equality cannot be taken to mean \identical\, but at best a \tertium comparationis\, for equality is \shared humanity\. Analysing the three possible outcomes… [Direct]

Hickling-Hudson, Anne (2005). "White", "Ethnic" and "Indigenous": Pre-Service Teachers Reflect on Discourses of Ethnicity in Australian Culture. Policy Futures in Education, v3 n4 p340-358. A cornerstone of the author's pedagogy as a teacher educator is to help students analyse how their culture and socialisation influence their role as teachers. In this article she shares the reflections of her Australian students on their culture. As part of their coursework in an elective subject, "Cultural Diversity and Education", students reflect on and address questions of how they have been socialised to regard Anglo-Australian, Indigenous and non-British migrant cultures in their society. Some recall that their early conditioning cultivated a deep fear of Aborigines, and a tokenistic understanding of ethnicity. Others talk of their confusion between the pulls of assimilation into mainstream "whiteness" and of maintaining a minority identity. This, combined with an often Anglocentric education, has left them with a problematic foundation with regard to becoming teachers who can overcome prejudice and discrimination in the classroom and the curriculum. This… [Direct]

Fernando, Chandra (2006). A Visit to a Montessori Elementary Class in Israel. Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, v18 n4 p26-28. The author of this article describes her week observing a Montessori class in the Adam Vesviva School at Kibbutz Ga'ash, located on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. The headmaster of the school, Yariv Ya'ari, had previously been associated with Democratic Schools, an alternate to the public educational system, whose philosophy was established at Adam Vesviva. This approach has at its center respect, independence and child-centered learning. The article relates how impressed she was by the independence and mutual respect of the children and the wonderful cooperation among the faculty. She found the headmaster to be an excellent role model and advocate for Montessori education. Children and seniors enjoyed their meals together in the kibbutz dining hall in a wonderful example of intergenerational socialization and cooperation. The elementary room resembles any class in the United States, except that all the work done at Adam Vesviva is in Hebrew. Seeing a well-designed fort built by two… [Direct]

Horio, Teruhisa (2006). A View of Children in a Global Age: Concerning the Convention of Children's Rights. Educational Studies in Japan: International Yearbook, n1 p91-99 Dec. After the establishment of the Convention of the Rights of the Child, the implementation of the Convention became the obligation of the government of each country and the responsibility of every society. However, in reality, many infringements on the rights of children, both visible and invisible, exist not only due to starvation, insecurity and warfare in developing countries, but also as a result of poverty in many of highly developed countries. In this paper I will first discuss the state of children in the world briefly according to UNICEF reports, and then the situation of children in Japan according to NGO's and Citizens' reports. Secondly, I would like to comment on the development of the ideas of "discovery of childhood", and children's rights from modern age to the Convention. Thirdly, I will construct the contents of the rights of children in the global age, reconsidering the relationship between human rights, children's rights and children's human rights.

Hughes, Conrad (2020). Addressing Violence in Education: From Policy to Practice. Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, v48 n1-2 p23-38 Jan. This article explores the relationship between violence and education. It does this by referring to some of the literature in critical pedagogy that investigates how the structure and outcome of education as a social force can be violent in a number of ways. Having discussed how schools are violent in modes that are symbolic, structural, and physical, the article concludes with some of the pathways that twenty-first-century education could be taking to ensure that schools help build the foundation for as peaceful and as inclusive a world as possible….

Dahl, Tove I. (2009). The Importance of Place for Learning about Peace: Residential Summer Camps as Transformative Thinking Spaces. Journal of Peace Education, v6 n2 p225-245 Sep. Do camps provide a particular kind of thinking space where learning that lasts is facilitated? The argument is built around the concept of transformative learning that involves understanding who we are or wish to be and how we grow accordingly. The nature of such learning is explored through its conceptual relationship with changes in attitudes and values, and through the particular kinds of learning opportunities that camps offer as youth-centred thinking spaces found in the \grey zones\ of mainstream institutions that may facilitate such changes. The discussion is extended with a brief presentation of ongoing research designed to explore the nature of peace-related learning that may be occurring at the Concordia Language Villages–a programme focused on facilitating responsible global citizenship through language and cultural immersion.

Benninga, Jacques S., Ed. (1991). Moral, Character, and Civic Education in the Elementary School. This collection of essays addresses the debate over moral education. The contributors deal with whether educators should influence children's value orientation through a direct program advocating restraint and higher moral standards, or whether educators should teach students to cope and adapt by providing a variety of alternatives from which the students themselves can choose. In "Part 1: Introduction," chapters include: "Moral and Character Education in the Elementary School: An Introduction" (Jacques S. Benninga); and "Doing Justice to Morality in Contemporary Values Education" (Larry P. Nucci). "Part 2: The Developmental or Indirect Approach to Moral Education" includes the following chapters: "Lawrence Kohlberg's Influence on Moral Education in Elementary Schools" (Robert W.

Kealey, Robert J. (1984). Everyday Issues Related to Justice and Other Gospel Values. This manual presents situations that occur in the lives of most children and suggests to the teacher related activities which might cause students to reflect on the deeper meaning and significance of the situations. It seeks to make the teacher, and thus students, aware of the fact that peace, justice, and other value issues are part of daily living. There are 31 lessons included, all of which are designed to be used whenever the appropriate situation comes up rather than in a fixed order, as well as two chapters addressed to the teacher which focus on the importance of values education and how to use these lessons. The lesson situations include: new students in class, culturally different students, the elderly, handicapped people, stealing, learning that a friend has stolen something, cheating in school, helping another student cheat, disagreement with a friend, unemployment, academic and athletic competition, the meaning of death, right to life, television commercials, destruction… [PDF]
