| Review
of Indira's Presentation to the President's Board |
| |
Slide 2: University Education - for what?
currently
our intentional design is for "teaching for preparation (job)",
not on "teaching for education (social responsibilities of humans)
Slide 8: Teaching for Education -- "Culture is not always
a problem!!"
need clarify
the problem identification/definition phase: is this a problem?? does
it need a solution??
teach students
to deal with problems that cannot be solved in our current paradigm
Slide 16: NSF Categories -- "He is an engineer, but he has
grown!"
Joseph Bordogna,
Deputy Director NSF, agrees with Kline's idea of multi-disc as a necessary
additive to disciplinary approaches

Goal: FOCUS article based on
Indira's talk :: "It's not a revolution -- it's an evolution" |

Some Writing Notes and Warnings
warning
to self: watch out for the claim that carnegie mellon education doesn't
current address "teaching for education," as this may alienate
the readership
note
to self: bill this as an enhancement, not a shift
note
to self, a clarification: bill it as enhancing our ability to produce
leaders (sandage discussed the president's talk about the need to produce
great leaders for 21st century, ambrose suggests touching upon the research
from 20th century about the nature of leaders, and someone suggested taking
language from the Middle States Evaluation)
reminder
to self: all disciplines must be mapped to each of the categories
What to call this education model?!?...
the reader
should have a discomfort with the idea so that they think, BUT not so
much that no one owns it
the word
cannot have a 'shadow' of meaning to the interpreter...maybe Plato, maybe
Aristotle (the pedigree of Greek terms)... maybe a Native American term...

Tasks and Agenda for Next Meeting |

Allocated Tasks
All committee
members write up an initial description for as many of the new categories
as possible:
- Environments
and Sustainability
- Mind,
Body, and Society ... or ... Mind and Society
- Economy
and Technology
- Creation,
Expression, and Communication
- Knowledge,
Culture, and Language ... or ... Knowledge and Language
Hopefully,
you can still email them to me a few days before the next meeting and
I can compile them.
Next Time
fine tune
the category descriptions to present them to the UEC meeting in March
discuss
susan's notes from curric conversation on value of inter/multi courses
and, of
course, the most fun: scheduling meetings
