Peer reviewedWescott, Roger W. – Journal of Educational Thought, 1978
Conventional definitions of teaching are too limited. Teaching is much more than classroom instruction by a professor. University experience will be enriched by new forms of dialogue and exchange, if we recognize that anyone who gives information is a teacher and anyone who benefits is a student. (SJL)
Descriptors: College Faculty, Definitions, Educational Environment, Higher Education
Peer reviewedSmith, James V. – Scottish Educational Review, 1981
The author argues that modern educational psychology tends to take a mechanistic view, at the individual level, of such basic concepts as "learning process" and "reading process." To demonstrate the importance of socio-historical context, he analyzes historical examples relating to the concepts of "reading" and "literacy." (Author/SJL)

Warner, Lucy – School Library Journal, 1980

Descriptors: Administrative Change, Administrative Problems, Attitudes, Definitions
Peer reviewedShuman, R. Baird – Journal of Aesthetic Education, 1980
It is a pitifully narrow humanities curriculum which focuses on great Western art, as many college humanities sequences have done. Any true consideration of the humanities needs to view mankind in relation to the cosmos. In essence, all one's education needs to be humanistically oriented in the broadest possible sense. (Author/SJL)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Definitions, Educational Philosophy, Higher Education
Peer reviewedRaiser, Lynne; Van Nagel, Clint – Exceptional Children, 1980

(TJ)

Peer reviewedLuca-Marshall, Judith B. – Art Education, 1980
The author considers definitions of "aesthetic," especially that offered by Woodrow Wilson in his essay on Adam Smith.

Descriptors: Aesthetic Education, Cognitive Development, Definitions, Elementary Secondary Education
Krajewski, Robert J.; And Others – Education Canada, 1980

Descriptors: Contrastive Linguistics, Cross Cultural Studies, Definitions, Education
