Download or read book Effects of Accreditation on the Mission and Vision of Three Private Christian Colleges in Northern California written by Richard A.. Tevis and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative phenomenological study examines the effects of accreditation on the mission and vision of private Christian colleges from the perspective of faculty members and administrators. Interviews were conducted with nine participants, one administrator and two faculty members from three different private Christian colleges in northern California: one college was regionally accredited; one was nationally accredited; and, one was non-accredited, but authorized by the state of California to grant Bachelor's degrees. The three research questions were: 1. What value does accreditation bring to a private, Christian college? 2. To what extent does accreditation affect the mission and vision of such an institution? 3. How does a lack of accreditation affect such an institution? The researcher used systems theory (Bertalanffy, 1968) as the guiding framework for this study to examine accreditation and mission statements as concepts within the system of higher education. After examining participant interviews, a new model based on the systems theory framework was derived using the emerging themes in the study findings. The themes of financial aid and outside accreditation agency are considered as "inputs" from the external environment. Accountability and mission, especially mission analysis, are considered part of the "transformation process" of the organization. Collaboration between institutions and reputation are seen as "outputs" of the organization back into the community. "Feedback" could be seen as responses from constituents. It appears that administrators understand the value of accreditation more than faculty members. The administrators made many more positive comments about accreditation. Even though faculty members also made positive comments, there were also negative comments about the amount of extra work that it entailed. The participants from the regionally accredited college did not feel that accreditation affected their mission, but the participants from the other two colleges felt that the type of accreditation or accreditation in general might affect the mission or purpose of a Christian college. Based on participant responses, it would appear that it depends upon the mission of the Christian college and the type of accreditation as to whether or not accreditation would have positive or negative effects upon the mission of a private Christian college. There are negative effects of non-accreditation, but there is a place for such non-accredited Christian education, such as Sunday School, a school of the prophets, or a Bible institute. Some of the positive effects of accreditation are that it allows for a college and its students to receive financial aid, both federal and state. It also provides for outside insight via peer-review from like-institutions and outside accountability. Furthermore, it enables the transferability of credit hours and the acceptance of accredited degrees from institution to institution. Some of the negative effects mentioned by participants are that accreditation can stifle the mission of a Christian institution by imposing criteria, especially social norms, that are not acceptable to such institutions. Also, the time constraints of accredited schools (quarters, semesters, credit hours) can hinder the learning process for some learners who move at a slower pace. Christian institutions of higher education must conduct a thorough mission analysis in order to establish a definitive mission statement for their respective institution. This will enable each institution to determine the need for accreditation and then, if needed, to determine which type of accreditation aptly matches institutional mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The lack of academic integrity combined with the prevalence of fraud and other forms of unethical behavior are problems that higher education faces in both developing and developed countries, at mass and elite universities, and at public and private institutions. While academic misconduct is not new, massification, internationalization, privatization, digitalization, and commercialization have placed ethical challenges higher on the agenda for many universities. Corruption in academia is particularly unfortunate, not only because the high social regard that universities have traditionally enjoyed, but also because students-young people in critical formative years-spend a significant amount of time in universities. How they experience corruption while enrolled might influence their later personal and professional behavior, the future of their country, and much more. Further, the corruption of the research enterprise is especially serious for the future of science. The contributors to Corruption in Higher Education: Global Challenges and Responses bring a range of perspectives to this critical topic"--

Book excerpt: It's no surprise that Friends pioneered on race and gender issues, it is less well known that most trustees at early Johns Hopkins were Friends or more women ministers came from a Quaker school at the turn of the 20th century than any other institution. This book overthrows stereotypes about religion in education with data about interactions between Friends, Holiness, liberalism, and other currents. Azusa Pacific, Barclay, Bryn Mawr, Cornell, Earlham, Friends, George Fox, Guilford, Haverford, Johns Hopkins, Malone, Swarthmore, Whittier, William Penn, and Wilmington cover the gamut in academia. Founded by Friends explains why Quakers founded 15 colleges and universities and how and why these changed over time. It notes how these schools are informed by, and in most cases shaped by, a Quaker heritage. For students of race, gender, and peace studies in higher education, this book, funded by Azusa Pacific, Bryn Mawr, Cornell, Earlham, Guilford, Haverford, Johns Hopkins, and Swarthmore, will be a centerpiece for your collection.

Download or read book The Case for Classical Christian Education written by Douglas Wilson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2002-11-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspapers are filled with stories about poorly educated children, ineffective teachers, and cash-strapped school districts. In this greatly expanded treatment of a topic he first dealt with in Rediscovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Douglas Wilson proposes an alternative to government-operated school by advocating a return to classical Christian education with its discipline, hard work, and learning geared to child development stages. As an educator, Wilson is well-equipped to diagnose the cause of America's deteriorating school system and to propose remedies for those committed to their children's best interests in education. He maintains that education is essentially religious because it deals with the basic questions about life that require spiritual answers-reading and writing are simply the tools. Offering a review of classical education and the history of this movement, Wilson also reflects on his own involvement in the process of creating educational institutions that embrace that style of learning. He details elements needed in a useful curriculum, including a list of literary classics. Readers will see that classical education offers the best opportunity for academic achievement, character growth, and spiritual education, and that such quality cannot be duplicated in a religiously-neutral environment.
