Why higher education in the United States has lost its way, and how universities and colleges can focus sharply on their core mission.For The Real World of College, Wendy Fischman and Howard Gardner analyzed in-depth interviews with more than 2,000 students, alumni, faculty, administrators, parents, trustees, and others, which were conducted at ten institutions ranging from highly selective liberal arts colleges to less-selective state schools. What they found challenged characterizations in the media: students are not preoccupied by political correctness, free speech, or even the cost of college.

Many say they face mental health challenges, fear that they don’t belong, and feel a deep sense of alienation. Given this daily reality for students, has higher education lost its way? Fischman and Gardner contend that US universities and colleges must focus sharply on their core educational mission.Fischman and Gardner, both recognized authorities on education and learning, argue that higher education in the United States has lost sight of its principal reason for existin not vocational training, not the provision of campus amenities, but to increase what Fischman and Gardner call “higher education capital”—to help students think well and broadly, express themselves clearly, explore new areas, and be open to possible transformations. Fischman and Gardner offer cogent recommendations for how every college can become a community of learners who are open to change as thinkers, citizens, and human beings.

Produktinformasjon

Oppdag den Virkelige Verdenen av College med 'The Real World of College'

The Real World of College gir deg et unikt innblikk i hva høyere utdanning virkelig handler om. Forfatterne Wendy Fischman og Howard Gardner har gjennomført omfattende intervjuer med mer enn 2,000 involverte i utdanningssystemet – studenter, lærere, administratorer og foreldre – på ti forskjellige institusjoner.

En Dypdykk i Hverdagen til Studenter

  • Fokus på Akademiske Utfordringer: Studien avslører at studenter i dag er mer opptatt av GPA og jobbmuligheter enn bare læring. Er dette en trist realitet i vår utdanningsverden?
  • Mentale Helseutfordringer: Mange studenter rapporterer om følelsen av å ikke høre hjemme, og at de opplever isolasjon. Hvordan kan utdanning bedre støtte dem?

Fischman og Gardner stiller spørsmål ved om høyere utdanning har mistet fokus på sitt primære mål: å utvikle kritisk tenkning, kreative ferdigheter, og evnen til å navigere i komplekse problemer.

Betydningen av 'The Real World of College'

Via dybdeintervjuer har forfatterne avdekket at studenters virkelighet er mer sammensatt enn media ofte fremstiller. Den virkelige utfordringen ligger i hvordan universiteter kan bli bedre samfunn av læring. De gir konkrete anbefalinger for hvordan utdanningsinstitusjoner kan bli enda mer engasjerende og omformende for sine studenter.

  • Målrettet Utdanning: Universiteter må revurdere sin tilnærming til undervisning og læring.
  • Felleskap av Læring: Hvordan kan vi skape et miljø der studenter føler seg sett og hørt?

Er du klar til å ta steget inn i den virkelige verdenen av college? Les 'The Real World of College' for å forstå de faktiske problemene og løsningene som preger dagens studenters liv.
