David J. Bachner, Laurence J. Malone, Mary C. Snider
Publication Date- 2001
ISBN-1-889271-35-7
203 pages
Cost-$30.00
|
| Administrator, faculty, and student voices come together to describe a unique experiment in intercultural education at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York. Challenging the notion that study abroad programs are best suited for "mature" students, faculty and administrators designed an intercultural, interdisciplinary course for first-year students, spanning an entire academic year. The book includes information on program development and student outcomes, with an appendix featuring syllabi from six courses based on the model. Learning Interdependence is equal parts travel log, curriculum design guide, and personal diary. As we struggle with the meaning of education on a shrinking, increasingly connected planet, this book offers a bold new way of thinking about teaching and learning in the first college year.

| This book, addressing moral action in young adulthood, is an extension of the Sierra Project which began at the University of California, Irvine in the middle 1970s. The original Sierra Project was both a curricular development initiative for first-year college students and a longitudinal study of growth and development of character over four years of undergraduate study. In this ground breaking follow-up, the researchers have returned to the original Sierra students to measure their continuing growth in moral reasoning and to understand the nature and meaning of moral action in response to the moral dilemmas inherent in everyday life.

The Guidelines are now available in two special editions, one focusing on two-year institutions and one focusing on four-year institutions. If you are looking for a way to evaluate the first-year experience on your campus, make the Guidelines your starting point! |
