Preflection: A Strategy For Enhancing Reflection, Diana Falk
Evaluation/Reflection
"Preflection" is a strategy designed as a tool to enhance and enrich the reflection process. It is actually a reflective session that is held prior to the service experience. Students are encouraged to imagine what the experience will be like and to express any feelings they might have as they anticipate their involvement. Comments are recorded and are reviewed with the students after the service has been completed. Being able to look back on their pre-service thoughts and feelings and compare and contrast them to the reality of the actual experience has the effect of promoting and focusing discussion, and …

Schools And Business Benefit Mutually Through Service Learning, Mike Bookey
Schools And Business Benefit Mutually Through Service Learning, Mike Bookey
Partnerships/Community
Schools are modeled after the industrial factories of yesterday. The goal of the education process is to mass produce standardized, educated citizens and workers. In this factory model, we teach students the hierarchy of decision making, to follow orders, and to work individually. Businesses, however, need graduates who are self-directed, responsible employees, who can solve problems, who can handle computers and the latest technology, and who can work in teams. In this the information age, business can no longer continue to sidestep the need to reformulate the processes and goals of public education.

Service Learning With Student Organizations, Mary Anderson-Rowland
Service Learning With Student Organizations, Mary Anderson-Rowland
Higher Education
Recently, there has been an increased demand on fiscal accountability in all sectors, but perhaps even more so in the educational arena. Recruitment and retention have become very important in a time of shrinking engineering enrollments. This means that special efforts need to be made to attract new students to our engineering and applied sciences college, especially underrepresented minorities and women. At the same time, extra efforts need to be made to retain the students already recruited. All of this takes time and money.
The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) at Arizona State University (ASU) has a plan …

From Teaching To Learning: A New Paradigm For Undergraduate Education, Robert B. Barr, John Tagg

Two alternative paradigms for undergraduate education are compared; one holds teaching as its purpose, the other learning. The natures of the two paradigms are examined on the following dimensions: mission and purposes, criteria for success, teaching and learning structures, underlying learning theory, concepts of productivity and methods of funding, and faculty and staff roles in instruction and governance.

Preparing The Way For Reform In Higher Education: Drawing Upon The Resources Of The Community-At-Large, Judith A. Ramaley
Higher Education
Higher education is being asked to pay more attention to student learning and to contribute to the enhancement of the social and economic conditions of the community it serves.

Quality Of Care In Family Planning Service Delivery In Kenya: Clients' And Providers' Perspectives, Lewis Ndhlovu
Quality Of Care In Family Planning Service Delivery In Kenya: Clients' And Providers' Perspectives, Lewis Ndhlovu
Reproductive Health
In recent years, the increasing number of organizations that have studied quality of care in international family planning (FP) programs demonstrates the importance the topic has acquired. To define quality of care in FP, the Bruce–Jain framework of six elements of care (choice of methods, information given to clients, technical competence, interpersonal relations, continuity and follow up, and appropriate constellation of services) have been used as the standard. However, what has been overlooked in this approach is the clients' perspectives of service quality. This study sought to narrow the gap in knowledge about the comparability and consistency in views between …

Taxation And The Economy: A Plan For Reform, Roy W. Bahl
Taxation And The Economy: A Plan For Reform, Roy W. Bahl
ECON Publications
This Commission was established out of concern for the relationship between the Ohio economy and its tax structure. The economy has gone through a long period of slow growth relative to the rest of the nation, and though the early 1990s have seen some improvement, all signs are that this long term pattern will continue into the next century. The state's economic and population structure is changing. The Ohio of today is less of a manufacturing center and more of a producer of services, earns more income from transfer payments and less from wages, consumes more services than goods, and …

Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations In China, Roy W. Bahl, Sally Wallace
ECON Publications
The development of the "best" fiscal arrangement among levels of government has rarely been as widely discussed and debated as it has been in the past five years (e.g., the devolution of the Soviet Union, the federalism in the U.S., decentralization in the Baltics, the breakup in the Balkans). Among other factors, enhanced technical abilities of local governments to provide services, and a worldwide trend toward government have contributed to a belief in the increased potential of fiscal decentralization.
In many countries, the emphasis has been to increase the budgetary share of the local governments. This been the case in …
