This issue is about changing the general education curriculum--in big ways through significant reforms and, more frequently, incremental ways--to accomplish purposes better, connect with students better, and provide a more engaging and intellectually and emotionally compelling common collegiate experience. The chapter authors present the results of a recent national survey on changes in general education: four case studies of institutions that have undertaken change--how they did it, what the constraints were, and most important, what the results were: and discussions on achieving curricular coherence and the nature of change and how to bring it about. This is the 125th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Higher Education.

The intent of this discussion paper is to provide a survey of emerging trends in general education reform at institutions of higher education. Ten themes are identified: (1) rethinking the major; (2) concern with student learning beyond course content; (3) an increased emphasis on diversity; (4) the importance of technology; (5) efficiency and effectiveness; (6) the need for more emphasis on implementation strategies in improving general education; (7) new administrative models; (8) the necessity of program assessment; (9) combining of change initiatives; and (10) convergence of two movements one to improve general education and the other concerned with accountability, fiscal responsibility, and prudent management.

This volume offers a compAndium of the best ideas, analyses, and practices relating to the undergraduate curriculum as described by leading figures in the field. It contains both conceptual and practical information on effective practices, research, management, and assessment. In thirty-four original chapters, top practitioners and scholars detail a range of philosophies, frameworks, program designs, instructional strategies, and assessment methods being used to strengthen and transform the curriculum. They examine both the current state of knowledge and teaching in the disciplines and the forces that will reshape the curriculum in the coming years. The Handbook of Undergraduate Curriculum will prove valuable both to practitioners—as an operating manual or desk reference—and to faculty as a primary text for graduate courses on the curriculum. In addition, the book will be a useful tool for those serving on a general education curriculum committee or conducting a departmental review of a major program, as well as having numerous other practical applications for anyone with responsibility for or interest in the curriculum.

This comprehensive examination of general education by Daniel Bell scrutinizes the experiences of Columbia College, Harvard, and The College of the University of Chicago. These three basic models of general education in the country are set against a background of social change which includes a detailed analysis of structural changes in American society, the universities and the secondary schools and what Bell has called the emerging "postindustrial" society.Bell attacks the distinction between general education and specialism. He holds that one must embody and exemplify general education through disciplines and extend the context of specialism by setting it within the methodological grounds of knowledge. The common link between the two is the emphasis on conceptual inquiry. By emphasizing modes of conceptualization"how one knows, rather than what one knows"Bell insists that colleges can have a new, vivifying function between the pressures of the secondary and graduate schools.In his proposals for a new curriculum, Bell sets forth a scheme that imagines the first year as an acquisition of necessary historical and humanistic knowledge, the next two years as training in a discipline, and the last year, "the third-tier"the most radical innovationas a new kind of general education course which would "brake" specialization and apply disciplined knowledge to broad intellectual and policy questions.

This report is organized around the following themes: (1) supply and demand for quality teachers (scholastic attainments of prospective teachers at the high school and college levels, demographic and social forces having an impact upon the recruitment of qualified students); (2) programs for teacher education (liberal education, subject specialization, professional education); (3) accountability for teacher education (state standards for teacher education programs, accreditation of teacher education programs); (4) resources for teacher education (school of education funding, allocation of resources for research and development, advanced degree programs); and (5) conditions necessary to support the highest quality of teaching (teacher salaries, advancement opportunities, work environments, status, autonomy). A broad analysis of each of the issues is provided and supported by empirical findings. A series of 16 recommendations is proposed to address the need for change and improvement. Included among the appendices is a listing of testimony presented at the commission hearings. (JD)

In recent years more and more colleges and universities have been changing their curriculum to embrace the concept of General Education and these same institutions are encountering increased pressure to turn out graduates with career-ready skills. Their study gave special attention to the implementation of the changes, and this book is the outcome of the study. Realistic and practical, the book explores the many forces that affect an institution's efforts to provide students with the fundamentals of a liberal arts education. They profile colleges and universities that are not famous, elite, or wealthy, with the intention that their experiences will be helpful to others attempting change in the face of limited resources. And they breathe life into their discussion with fifteen detailed case studies and a wealth of stories and quotes from faculty members and administrators about their struggles to change the curriculum. College and University Professors and Administrators, Researchers, Business Owners, and Libraries. A Longwood Professional Book.

Gaff provides a new analysis of general education, focusing on the curriculum reform movement. His book has three basic aims: a contemporary analysis of the public debate and curriculum reforms; an assessment of some of the early results of curriculum changes; and a future agenda that includes shifting organizational priorities and creating structures to better support undergraduate general education. Gaff's agenda mainly calls for the training of a new generation of faculty in the values associated with liberal and general education; the implementation of current general education programs; and the integration of general education with academic majors. The agenda is strengthened by Gaff's study of some 300 colleges and universities that are reforming their general education curricula. Gaff also draws on popular critics, such as Allan Bloom, William Bennett, and E.D. Hirsch. ISBN 1-55542-392-2: $29.95.
