They also need to know how adults learn best and how instruction can best facilitate this learning, and in particular, how adults learn a second language. An inquiry-based model for staff...

A major initiative in Australia is a general and pervasive obsession with competency-based training and assessment. There is a real danger that the selling of competency-based training (CBT) and competency-based assessment (CBA) is greater than what it can offer. One criticism focuses on CBT, the other on CBA, although in most instances where CBT is implemented these two issues could not be addressed independently. The first criticism derives from the assumption that CBT, done well, requires...

The desirability of raising the minimum wage long revolved around just one question: the effect of higher minimum wages on the overall level of employment. An even more critical effect of the minimum wage rests on the composition of employment--who gets the minimum wage job. An examination of employment in eating and drinking establishments (including fast food, table service restaurants and cafeterias) shows that the effect of higher minimum wages in the late 1980s was to displace adults...

At the higher education level, some educators saw individualization of the college curriculum as a means for personal development and a method for empowering the students and the faculty. Notions of adult education appeared to reinforce the strong movement to individualize the college curriculum. The development of contract learning pulled together the differing ideologies and concerns of educating adults. New York's Empire State College, an entirely contract-based institution, and other such...

Teachers and students can fill this need by educating the public on the value and nature of offerings at community colleges. Two research designs were presented. The first, for developing a public relations program using college staff, students, curriculum, and...
