TAKE MY HAND, LEAD ME ON: AN ANALYSIS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS’ AND MENTORS’ PERCEPTIONS OF THE IMPACT OF THEIR MENTORSHIP COMMUNITY ON COLLEGE PERSISTENCE AT A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONNatalie Ann Witherspoon (15348283) 26 April 2023 (has links)
<p> </p>
<p>Mentorship has served as an effective strategy in helping African American college students persist at predominantly White institutions of higher education (Sinanan, 2016). African American students have reported finding these campus environments to be unwelcoming, even racist. These environmental challenges along with the challenges of unfamiliar academic terrain merge to form frequently formidable barriers to their satisfaction and success. The presence of African American mentors has helped African American students overcome the wide range of challenges they face on such campuses. This qualitative study analyzed the perceptions of African American mentors and mentees about the impact of mentorship on the college persistence of the mentees. The target mentorship community was situated at a private school in the Midwest. Semi-structured interviews were used to solicit the experiential knowledge of participants about their lived experiences. The data was codified and thematically analyzed. Six themes emerged from participant responses including (1) targeted mentorship and modeling, (2) belonging, (3) connections (4) advocacy, (5) racism and anti-Blackness, and (6) persistence. These themes fortify the existing research affirming mentorship as an invaluable tool in helping African American undergraduates persist through degree completion. The assertions and recommendations at the conclusion of the study are purposed to assist scholar-activists, university staff, and students with improving the conditions in which African American students’ study and push toward persistence.</p>

Perceptions of the accelerated Christian education programme as preparation for tertiary educationBaumgardt, Jacqueline 30 November 2006 (has links)
This study seeks to explore aspects of the educational practice of the Accelerated
Christian Education (ACE) programme.
The philosophy (the Christian underpinnings) and pedagogy (mastery learning) of the
ACE programme as contemporary educational practice is examined against a
background of educational reform movements such as outcomes-based education.
In addition, the thesis examines the issue of what it takes for a student to succeed in
tertiary education, investigates the stated claims of the ACE programme in this regard,
and then scrutinises these claims, in an empirical study, that includes ACE graduates,
their parents and university admissions officers.
Finally recommendations are made to those who use the programme in schools
regarding any perceived strengths and/or weaknesses in the programme itself, or in the
management and implementation of the programme, with a view to enhancing the educational experience of high school students preparing to enter the realm of tertiary education. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed.(Educational Management)

Health education in cross cultural encounters : an agogical perspectiveArthur, Mavis Lorraine 11 1900 (has links)
In contemporary multicultural societies, health is emerging as a fundamental right alongside
education and welfare: a frame of reference endorsed by the Government of National Unity
in South Africa. Health workers are confronting issues far beyond the more traditional
modes of health education. The initial thrust of this research was to investigate the most
relevant social, health and education knowledge bases and issues relative to health education
in cross cultural encounters in order to formulate universal guidelines applicable to the
national situation. Differences inherent in allopathic and traditional health systems are
explored in historical time, in conjunction with concepts of social change, communality in
diversity and the co-existence of multiple realities. An understanding of common
denominators across all human and group experience emerges and, with it, insight into
problems that occur when universalistic conceptions of human behaviour are linked to
communicocentric hegemony. The parameters within which cross cultural health education are viewed are extended through
an analytical, empirical evaluation of the andragogic consequences of a broader conceptualisation
of culture and the patterned relationships existing between elements within society.
The ontic fact that similar variables may have widely different meanings and be differently
construed by people whose life experiences differ is affirmed. Culture shock becomes a
potential personal reality for all engaged in cross cultural encounters. Radical reflection on human nature and the eidos of man constitutes the foundation upon
which the aims and various theories of health education are systematically and progressively
evaluated. Evidence surfaces that the original intent of the research was rooted in the
Western medical tendency towards standardisation, specialisation and the creation of
scientifically validated routines for professional practice and that gaps exist between the
theory and practice of health education and the everyday experiences of people. On the basis
of scientifically based insights, guidelines have been formulated to narrow the divide between
the factual, linearly based procedural aspects of health education and the human experience
of learning. The guidelines embody the notion that the health educator's role in cross
cultural encounters is one of facilitating meaningful, appropriate and informed choices on the
part of adult learners. / Educational Studies / D.Ed. (Philosophy of Education)

Unearthing the Seeds of Oppression and Injustice within Education: Using Intuition, Care, and Virtue to Guide the Educative Process and Cultivate Morality.Worsham, Lucas 01 January 2016 (has links)
The emphasis of the inquiry is on the domain of education and the relationship present between the teacher and student more specifically. Essentially, the first part of the thesis outlines how the larger social-political system impacts the domain of public education, with the predominant issues of adversity becoming manifest at the level of the relationship that exists between teacher and student. The second part of the work utilizes the problems discovered and their impact on human experience to propose a virtue/care based method for approaching the relationship with the student in a way that both aligns more closely with the movement of experience, while also functioning to assist the student in shaping their own moral character. Essentially, the method being proposed is something that is meant to assist the teacher in her attempts to communicate with the student in a more personal sort of way, thus allowing for a higher degree of understanding of the unique personality of each student, with this understanding leading the teacher to form a more flexible approach that takes into account the various personalities of the students. In so doing the teacher is working to bring the experience of the student into the educative process, which should thereby increase student performance through their feeling more involved in the education being received.

Existential Piano Teacher: The Application of Jean-Paul Sartre's Philosophy to Piano Instruction In a Higher Educational SettingMortyakova, Julia Vladimirovna 13 May 2009 (has links)
This essay uses existential ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre to provide a philosophy of college piano performance teaching which includes awareness of freedom, abandonment and responsibility as a prerequisite for student-teacher interaction. To set the stage for the interaction the study uses Sartre's philosophy, illustrated with concrete examples from the world of piano teaching and performing, to describe what it means to be human. The author applies Sartre's writings about literature to support the idea of an engaged performance, relating it to existential psychoanalysis, making the performer and audience member realize freedom through choice, while addressing ideas of abandonment and performance anxiety. Sartre's philosophy is used to identify the roles both teachers and students play in the college environment as people and as performers. The study with the help of existentialism, describes the interaction between the different elements: teacher, student, performer, and human being, and provides a better understanding of the complexity of the pupil/professor relationship in the college piano performance program.

Responding to Alienating Trends in Modern Education and Civilization by Remembering our Responsibility to Metaphysics and Ontological Education: Answering to the Platonic Essence of EducationKarumanchiri, Arun 01 January 2011 (has links)
This thesis explores the most basic purpose of education and how it can be advanced. To begin to analyze this fundamental area of concern, this thesis associates notions of education with notions and experiences of truth and authenticity, which vary historically and culturally. A phenomenological analysis, featuring the philosophy of Heidegger, uncovers the basic conditions of human experience and discourse, which have become bent upon technology
and jargon in the West. He draws on Plato's account of the 'essence of education' in the Cave Allegory, which underscores human agency in light of truth as unhiddenness. Heidegger calls for ontological education, which advances authenticity as it preserves individuals as codisclosing, historical beings.

La place de Jean-Jacques Rousseau dans la philosophie kantienne de l'éducationSarbazevatan, Sourena 03 1900 (has links)
En vue de saisir la pensée kantienne dans toute sa virulence, on ne peut jamais faire abstraction de la place éminente de Jean-Jacques Rousseau dans cette philosophie qui ne cesse pas à marquer, à définir et à poser des jalons de la pensée moderne. À cet égard, si le Genevois communique les grandes leçons de sa théorie de l’homme sous la guise d’une éducation, il s’agit ici non pas d’une philosophie de l’éducation mais bien plus d’une philosophie comme éducation.
C’est effectivement cette thèse que Kant reprend, suit et enrichie d’une manière sui generis pour renverser l’ordre théorique mais surtout pratique de religion-moralité-devoir et libérer une fois pour toutes la morale des dogmes théologiques et finalement pour édifier une philosophie pratique comme l’éducation de l’espèce humaine. Le but de cette étude est de jeter quelques lumières sur la place sans pareille de Jean-Jacques Rousseau dans la philosophie kantienne de l’éducation. / The decisive influence of Immanuel Kant in the course of modern philosophy is incontrovertible. In a sense, had it not been for this monumental figure of the 18th century, philosophy would have never reached the flair to convey the existential, analytical and phenomenological questions of modernity.
However, if Kant set the agenda for any posterior thought, he was not himself Kantian until Jean-Jacques Rousseau disenchanted him. In this regard, if the Genevois philosopher communicated his philosophy in the guise of an education, philosophy in itself is defined by the education of humanity. It is indeed this perspective of Rousseau that put the German philosopher on the right track to find the ultimate goal of philosophy in the moral education as the sum and substance of the practical philosophy. The objective of this study is to shed some lights on the unparalleled role of Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Kant’s philosophy of education as the harbinger of the universal ethics beyond the dogmas of a blind theology: the question which still remains crucial today.

"To read, write and cast accounts": Foucault, Governmentality, and Education in Upper Canada/Canada WestMcGarry, Michael Gerard 08 August 2013 (has links)
Contributing to the work of philosophers of education who have been examining issues of economy and emancipation, this dissertation employs a set of critical lenses drawn from Foucault’s investigation of governmentality to trace correspondences between economic liberalism and public schooling in Upper Canada/Canada West, the historical antecedent of present day Ontario. The analysis adheres to Foucault’s advice that philosophical critique involves a question asked of the present but answered in history. Thus through a Foucauldian genealogy it is argued that a series of transformations in the deployment of governmental power occurred in Upper Canada/Canada West that entailed the entry of an economic rationality into deliberations over the creation of a school system. To support this argument evidence is presented that demonstrates how race, biopolitics, and the burgeoning science of political economy combined in the first half of the nineteenth century to form the conditions of possibility for governmental control of schooling. In particular, it is illustrated how these conditions favoured a pedagogy based in Locke’s epistemology, and were legitimized by the providential status accorded political economy. This pedagogy, which was promoted as mild and so conducive to student engagement, and the authority of political economy are revealed as integral to the methods of instruction and curriculum of the province’s common schools, and indicative of the legacy of economic liberalism that persists, albeit transformed, in Ontario education to this day.
The result of this critical analysis is a redescription or, in Foucault’s terminology, a “countermemory” of Ontario educational history that challenges the presumed naturalism of the ideals characteristic of economic liberalism, such as autonomy, accountability, entrepreneurialism, and consumer choice. The dissertation contends that these ideals are active in local educational regimes long legitimized by economy, and dangerously aimed at fostering political consent by manipulating subjects into locations of restricted agency.
Providing insight into the historical role played by liberal governmentality and economy in the local context contributes to the study of Foucault and the philosophy of education, and also suggests a change in approach to questions regarding the corporatization or marketization of education.
