1. Education, Risk and Ethics (EJ815021)
Author(s):
Papastephanou, Marianna
Source:
Ethics and Education, v1 n1 p47-63 Mar 2006
Pub Date:
2006-03-00
Pub Type(s):
Journal Articles; Reports - Descriptive
Peer-Reviewed:
Yes
Descriptors: Teacher Student Relationship; Moral Values; Risk Management; Relevance (Education); Risk; Cultural Differences; Ethics; Epistemology; Cultural Influences; Educational Philosophy
Abstract: While the notion of risk remains under-theorised in moral philosophy, risk aversion and moralist self-protection appear as dominant cultural tendencies saturating educational orientation and practice. Philosophy of education has responded to the educational emphasis on risk management by exposing the unavoidable and positive presence of risk in any endeavour to learn and teach. Taking such responses into account, I discuss how the theoretical connection of risk and education could be radicalised through an ethical approach combined with epistemological and existential concerns. My aim is to propose an ethics that is sensitive to the difference between risks taken and risks imposed and to the cultural variations of what counts as danger. Finally, I explain how the educational relevance of such an ethics requires a prior questioning of the western understanding of self and world that has functioned as a subtext of the dominant view of risk.

Abstract: Since the end of the 1980s, education in Russia has been characterized by changes that were qualified as "reform" at first and then, later, as "modernization." These changes have been going on against the background of the profound transformation of society, one aspect of which is the transition from a relatively cohesive social structure to substantial social differentiation. In this article, the authors examine the kinds of social groups that have been formed in the structure of the population of the city of Ulianovsk in the past ten years, their characteristics, and their needs and interests in the sphere of education.

3. The Role of Help-Seeking Attitudes and Tendencies in Students' Preferences for Academic Advising. (EJ642664)

Descriptors: Academic Achievement; Academic Advising; Help Seeking; Higher Education; Sex Differences; Student Attitudes; Teacher Student Relationship; Undergraduate Students
Abstract: First-year undergraduate students (N=361) completed the Learning Orientation-Grade Orientation Scale and two help-seeking inventories to determine whether educational orientation, gender, academic performance, and help-seeking attitudes predicted preferences for academic advising received from professors. Results have implications for providing academic advising to students who may not feel comfortable approaching faculty for help. (Contains 31 references, 2 figures, and 1 table.)

4. Expanding the Limits of Evidence-Based Medicine: A Discourse Analysis of Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinical Practice Guidelines. (ED480837)

Descriptors: Adult Education; Behavior Change; Behavior Development; Cardiovascular System; Context Effect; Criticism; Data Analysis; Heart Disorders; Life Style; Patient Education; Popular Education; Preventive Medicine; Program Design; Program Effectiveness; Qualitative Research; Rehabilitation Counseling; Rehabilitation Programs; Research Methodology; Teaching Methods; Transformative Learning
Abstract: Heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the United States, and cardiac rehabilitation, a form of post-MI (myocardial infarction) education, accounts for at most 20% of improved lifestyle behavior that can effectively manage symptoms, delay or prevent subsequent attacks, and lower mortality and morbidity rates. In an attempt to improve post-MI education, the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research used evidence from a comprehensive analysis of published scientific research to created guidelines that suggested changes to existing practices. Dimensional analysis of evidence contained in the guidelines (such as gender, age, and insurance status of participants) and evidence that was not contained in the guidelines (gathered from qualitative and quantitative studies about the social, emotional, and economic aspects of heart disease) was used to identify the promises and pitfalls of the guidelines. Findings suggest that the cardiac rehabilitation guidelines are based upon a rational behavior change educational orientation that does not meet many participants' needs. It is recommended that adult educators include a focus on mind-body integration, as behavior change is often conditional upon prior meaning making. In addition, transformative learning and critical popular education are recommended to address issues of social justice and cardiotoxic social policy that are not addressed in the cardiac rehabilitation guidelines.

5. Evolutionary Theory and the "New Sciences": Rekindling Our Imagination for Transformation. (EJ614061)

Journal Articles
Descriptors: Adult Education; Biological Sciences; Change; Evolution; Physical Sciences; Transformative Learning
Abstract: Adult educators can use the concepts of chaos, emergence, creativity, and transformation from biological and physical sciences and evolution theories to reassess the prominence of transformation as an educational orientation. Developmental potential can be facilitated in learners who are at crisis points, struggling with inner turbulence, or distressed by external circumstances.

Iliadis, Nicholas
Technology Teacher, v59 n8 p25-28 May-Jun 2000
Descriptors: Educational Philosophy; Foreign Countries; Individual Development; Junior High Schools; Technology Education; Theory Practice Relationship
Abstract: The Maryland Plan for technology education, combining theory with applications to the laboratory and giving emphasis to the development and cultivation of individuals, was close to the traditional Greek Educational Orientation. However, implementation of the Maryland Plan in Greece still faced problems in terms of philosophy, facilities, and teacher training.

Books; Reports - Evaluative
Descriptors: Academic Achievement; Academic Aspiration; African Culture; Black Family; Blacks; Church Role; Cultural Influences; Family Life; Family Role; Family Structure; Kinship; One Parent Family; Parent Influence; Public Policy; Racial Identification; Social Stratification; Work Ethic
Abstract: This book analyzes key cultural strengths of African American families, arguing that they provide a solid foundation upon which to develop the kind of public policies and self-help initiatives that will genuinely promote the interests of African Americans and diverse peoples nationwide. Nine chapters include (1) "Solutions Framework" (historical, ecological, and cultural perspectives and identifying problems and solutions); (2) "The African Heritage" (e.g., conjugality versus consanguinity, male and female roles, and the importance of children); (3) "Class Trends and Concept Misuse" (e.g., reifying class abstractions, shifting class criteria, and confusing class and race); (4) "Strong Achievement Orientation" (e.g., parent and youth educational orientation, peer approval of achievement, self-esteem, and resiliency programs); (5) "Strong Work Orientation" (work ethic, discouraged workers, and resiliency programs); (6) "Flexible Family Roles" (e.g., egalitarian family roles, boys reared by unmarried mothers, contact with fathers, drug abuse, and resiliency programs); (7) "Strong Kinship Bonds" (e.g., services to unwed mothers, day care services, foster care, and reducing child abuse); (8) "Strong Religious Orientation" (e.g., religious commitment, contemporary roles of black churches, and increasing class polarity); and (9) "Summary and Implications" (public policy implications).

8. Students' Educational Orientation and Preferences for Advising from University Professors. (EJ555264)

Journal Articles; Reports - Research
Descriptors: College Students; Educational Counseling; Faculty Advisers; Higher Education; Predictor Variables; Student Attitudes; Student Characteristics; Student Personnel Services; Teacher Student Relationship
Abstract: Examined the relationship between student characteristics (e.g., gender, educational orientation) and the advising that students received and preferred from professors. Findings indicate that students were not receiving the type of advising they preferred and that students' gender, grades, educational orientation, and previous advising experiences predicted students' advising preferences.

9. Evaluation of Academic and Career Counselling Information and Its Relation to Students' Educational Orientation. (EJ555252)
