Purpose: To get beyond religious, philosophic, and political definitions of educatedness by going empirical. To redo Plato, in effect, by defining "the good" empirically. Background: This research was part of the Excellence Science (orthogonal disciplines) Research Project at the University of Chicago. That project redid Plato by defining "the good" empirically using artificial intelligence protocol analysis and total quality process modeling methods embedded in surveys and interview instruments. A sample of eminent people in 63 professions from 41 nations was asked who is top in your field and upon what capability basis did they rise to the top, producing 54 routes to the top of nearly any field, one of which was educatedness. 150 people nominated as top (5+ from each of 63 diverse occupations) in their field due to educatedness were asked what that consisted of, in constituent capability terms. This paper reports a categorical model of their answers and compares it to a categorical model from philosophers of education. Method: Finding highly educated acting people via a double nomination process used by expert system programmers. Finding their capabilities via protocol analysis from artificial intelligence expert system building and process modeling from total quality programs embedded in questionnaire and interview instruments. Sample: 8000+ people, 150 in each of 54 distinct "excellence sciences" (educatedness, effectiveness, creativity, managing complexity, handling error, etc. for 54 routes to the top of nearly any field) from 41 nations (half resident in the USA, half visiting/studying there), were given questionnaires and interviews over a period of years. Analysis: Tens of thousands of answers, that is, individual capabilities, were categories hierarchically and the final hierarchy of categories regularized fractally. The same approach was applied also to texts on educatedness by usual philosophers, politicos, and religious leaders for comparison purposes. Results: 48 capabilities of highly educated people, 3 for each of 16 categories--one such model empirically derived and another such model, for comparison, derived from texts on educatedness. Recommendations: The philosopher text-derived model emphasizes liberation and de-mystification a great deal more than the empiric model. Also, the "virtues" of the empiric model are enormously different than the 18th century style virtues some modern philosophers and educators want us to return to. The model-build and model-apply basis of modern work--so involved in the Wall Street disaster of 2008-9 appears front and center as one fourth of "educatedness" capabilities. Use of the model to assess career success, education curriculum and institution effectiveness, and assessment of biases and limitations in policy communities designing education institutions and initiatives are suggested. Additional data: A book "Are You Educated? 64 Capabilities of Highly Educated People" was derived from this article later (available at scribd.com) and a book "Are You Educated? EU, China, USA, Japan? 300 Capabilities from 5 Models of Educatedness" was also derived later on (and is available at scribd.com).

RESEARCH QUESTIONS -- causes of top performance in traditional fields, effective operations across disciplines, & solving problem in gaps between fields 1. What causes certain people to rise to the top of all traditional disciplines? 2. What is a scientific basis for cross-discipline work? 3. What will solve the narrowness problem of traditional disciplines causing more and more problems to fall in the cracks between them? 4. Is there such a thing as “educatedness” distinct from effectiveness and creativity, such that people can be effective and/or creative in various ways yet underperform for lack of “educatedness”? The Excellence Science research project got 315 eminent people in 63 strata of society, half American, half global, to nominate what enabled the best people in their own field to rise to the top, producing 54 orthogonal fields, cutting across all traditional fields and determining who rises to their tops, then they were asked to nominate 150 people in each of those 54 orthogonals. One of those orthogonals was “educatedness”. This paper reports what 150 highly educated-acting people, thusly nominated, said constituted their own “educatedness” and “educatedness” as they encounter it in others. In doing so it provides answers, some quite partial, to all the above research questions. RESEARCH APPROACH & METHOD -- two level nomination process identifies highly educated acting people asked to specify what educatedness is: 1. tap social consensus on what “highly educated people” are capable of, if it is there and accessible via indirect approaches 2. to bypass and/or heal ideological factions blocking policies to promote higher levels of educatedness attainment 3. by asking a highly diverse set of eminent people to nominate the most “highly educated-acting” people that they know 4. then surveying those “highly educated acting” people for what constitutes, in their view, their own “educatedness” 5. then surveying them for what behaviors and capabilities they expect from highly educated persons like themselves 6. get both representational and relational definitions of educatedness from these “highly educated-acting” persons LITERATURE POINTS -- Philosophers of education have distinguished education from learning (Arendt, 1954. 1993), procedural from declarative knowledge (Russell and Norvig, 2003), literacy in one's own civilization from literacy in handling diverse civilizations (Geertz, 1983), training for performing existing social roles from training for inventing new social roles from training for refounding existing social roles on new technical and social substrates (Brown and Duguid, 2000), educating in order to socialize kids to your favored values from educating to free kids from your favored values (Anderson, 1983). These distinctions, are lost in a clutter of ideological conflicts about what sorts of human beings “to make” via education system Goliaths. GET BEYOND 5 DYSFUNCTIONS -- Five dysfunctions in policy discussions by publics and policy makers on “educating” and what it is to produce, from ideological contexts of discussion, are identified in this paper. Nevertheless, there might be considerable social consensus on what “educated person behavior” is, in various situations, available, perhaps, if we approach people outside of their usual ideological contexts. This paper reports the tapping of that latent consensus using artificial intelligence techniques from expert system building “protocol analysis” and customer requirements assessment techniques from total quality programs. The model it produced potentially resolves the five dysfunctions in policy discussions of “educating” and its intended outcomes. 150 people, nominated as “highly educated-acting” by 315 eminent people, half American, half global, in 63 strata of society, were given surveys asking them in over 20 diverse ways what their own “educatedness” was and what “educatedness” was in others. This paper reports a thorough bottom up categorization of their collective answers. RESEARCH RESULTS -- two categorical models of the 48 capabilities shared by most “highly educated-acting” people, one from 150 highly educated people and another from philosophers of education, for comparison purposes. Content analysis of survey results was done, marking behaviors unique to educatedness, marking distinctions of educatedness from effectiveness and creativity, naming marked ideas, grouping similar such ideas, ordering them, resulting in a model having 48 distinct dimensions of “educated person behavior” (each dimension of the 48 in the model was mentioned by at least 20 nominees). The same procedures were applied to texts by well cited philosophers of education, getting their behaviors of educated-acting people to form a basis of comparison with the first model. Use of the first model to assess the degree of “educatedness”, produced by various institutions and instructors, and to specify exact solutions, for certain hard-flaws-to-correct in business persons, that any manager encounters, is described.

The College of St. Scholastica discusses many forms of media and the uniqueness of media. Topics discussed: artificial intelligence, the simulation theory, technological advancements, digital currency, and more. Students studied the history of the media to see how the sharing of ideas were passed along for generations up until today. The papers that make up this book are influenced and written about what was discussed in a Media Literacy topics course.

Volumes have been written about the value of more and better education. But is there sufficient evidence to support the commonly held belief that we, as individuals and as a community, should be investing more in education? This book explores that question in unprecedented detail, drawing on empirical evidence from an impressive array of sources. While much of the focus is on the educational system in the United Kingdom, the book offers lessons of international applicability. A state-of-the-art compendium on education policy and its impact on educational attainment, the book examines numerous large-scale data sources on individual pupils and schools. The questions the book considers are far-ranging: How much do teachers matter for children's educational attainment? What payoff do people get from acquiring more education when they enter the labor market? How well do education systems function to provide employers with the skills they want? The book concludes by issuing some strong policy recommendations and offering an evaluation of what does and does not work in improving educational attainment. The recommendations address such issues as school effectiveness, education financing, individual investment in education, government education initiatives, higher education, labor market rewards, and lifelong learning.

“Path-breaking . . . offers a rich, encompassing, global perspective on education . . . articulates an educationally-grounded vision of contemporary society.” —David John Frank, University of California, Irvine Only 150 years ago, the majority of the world’s population was largely illiterate. Today, not only do most people over fifteen have basic reading and writing skills, but 20 percent of the population attends some form of higher education. What are the effects of such radical, large-scale change? David Baker argues that the education revolution has transformed our world into a schooled society—that is, a society that is actively created and defined by education. Drawing on neo-institutionalism, The Schooled Society shows how mass education interjects itself and its ideologies into culture at large: from the dynamics of social mobility, to how we measure intelligence, to the values we promote. The proposition that education is a primary rather than a “reactive” institution is then tested by examining the degree to which education has influenced other large-scale social forces, such as the economy, politics, and religion. Rich, groundbreaking, and globally-oriented, The Schooled Society sheds light on how mass education has dramatically altered the face of society and human life. “One of the most important books in the sociology of education in quite some time. . . . It will solidify [Baker’s] reputation as one of today’s leading sociologists of education and comparative and international education.” —Alan R. Sadovnik, Rutgers University “David Baker explores formal education as a social-cultural force in its own right. . . . The Schooled Society offers a powerful alternative perspective on the global educational revolution.” —Maria Charles, University of California, Santa Barbara

As China is increasingly integrated into the processes of economic, political, social, and cultural globalization, important questions arise about how Chinese people perceive and evaluate such processes. At the same time, international communication scholars have long been interested in how local, national, and transnational media communications shape people’s attitudes and values. Combining these two concerns, this book examines a range of questions pertinent to public opinion toward globalization in urban China: To what degree are the urban residents in China exposed to the influences from the outside world? How many transnational social connections does a typical urban Chinese citizen have? How often do they consume foreign media? To what extent are they aware of the notion of globalization, and what do they think about it? Do they believe that globalization is beneficial to China, to the city where they live, and to them personally? How do people’s social connections and communication activities shape their views toward globalization and the outside world? This book tackles these and other questions systematically by analyzing a four-city comparative survey of urban Chinese residents, demonstrating the complexities of public opinion in China. Media consumption does relate, though by no means straightforwardly, to people’s attitudes and beliefs, and this book provides much needed information and insights about Chinese public opinion on globalization. It also develops fresh conceptual and empirical insights on issues such as public opinion toward US-China relations, Chinese people’s nationalistic sentiments, and approaches to analyze attitudes toward globalization.

Financial literacy and financial education are not new topics, even though interest in these topics among policymakers, financial authorities, and academics continues to grow. The Routledge Handbook of Financial Literacy provides a comprehensive reference work that addresses both research perspectives and practical applications to financial education. This is the first volume to summarize the milestones of research in financial literacy from multiple perspectives to offer an overview. The book is organized into six parts. The first three parts provide a conceptual framework, which discusses what financial literacy is, how it should be measured, and explains why it represents a relevant topic and effective tool in enhancing decision-making among consumers as well as consumer protection strategies. Part IV addresses the connection between financial education and financial literacy, with chapters about financial education in school settings as well as for adults. This part includes an analysis of the role of Fintech and the use of gamification in financial education. Part V is a collection of contributions that analyze financial literacy and financial education around the world, with a focus on geographical areas including the U.S., South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa. This part also considers how financial literacy should be addressed in the case of Islamic finance. The concluding part of the book examines how financial literacy is related to other possible approaches to consumer finance and consumer protection, addressing the relationships between financial literacy and behavioral economics, financial well-being, and financial inclusion. This volume is an indispensable reference for scholars who are new to the topic, including undergraduate and graduate students, and for experienced researchers who wish to enrich their knowledge, policymakers seeking a broader understanding and an international perspective, and practitioners who seek knowledge of best practices as well as innovative approaches.
