Liberal Studies A Liberal Studies Education is a broad spectrum of information that expands the knowledge of the students. This education provides a foundation of knowledge in many subjects for instance language art, math, history, science, art and physical education. With that said Liberal Studies allows students to create new theories and connections between fields. In order for Liberal Studies Majors to have new theories and connections it very important to have some kind of structure. A well organized structure is ensuring lessons teach the curriculum but also convey your own theories and connections, this is where lesson planning comes in.

The lesson is about using an extension of striking with long-handed implements the activity is putting. In this lesson the objectives are motor and cognitive. The motor objective is students will be able to strike with a putter of their choosing towards a target set at self-determined distance at least 2 out 3 times. The cognitive object is students will be able to recite the cues for putting to a partner with one-hundred percent accuracy, the cues are set, bent, back and forth. The objectives are also the focus of the lesson plan. Going back to the article Hyland said the focus is "the discourse embodies key assumptions of academic practice: impersonality, cumulative knowledge construction, and empiricism, so that readers can relate a current claim to their understandings (120)." This relates to how the objective is the focus, because it the objective is what the teachers want the students to …show more content…

But framing is another important proximity. It is important because the teacher teaching the lesson needs to frame the entire lesson with information he or she thinks is appropriate for their students. For example in my lesson plan for golfing I had to assume the activities are appropriate for a fourth grade class. It's important for a teacher to know how challenging to make an activity, because as a teacher you don't want it to be too easy or difficult for a student. Sometimes as a teacher it can be difficult to assume the activities in your lesson plan are appropriate for the students. But the easy part about writing a lesson plan is taking existing sources or activities and combining them new your own ideas. This is called novelty (newness), because in lesson planning it can be either new or be taken from an existing source. In teaching there is also the idea of add new information prior to the previews lesson, this is called

“The New Liberal Arts” is written from the author's point of view. The author, Sanford J. Ungar, writes strongly on “Misperception” of Liberal Arts. He writes down each misperception and gives his reasoning, backed up with facts as to why he, the author, considers each one a misperception.

In William Cronon’s essay “Only Connect” he poses the question to his audience on trying to deduce the concept of liberal education. Cronon makes it clear within his essay that a liberal education goes beyond earning a degree and fulfilling credit hours; to him there's something more deeper in a liberal education that helps shape an individual’s life. He discusses some historical background information on where liberal education came from by citing how the word “liberal” developed throughout time and he even mentions how the liberal arts curriculum developed. Throughout, the majority of the essay Cronon makes a valid argument on what the purpose of a liberal education does for individuals pursuing college. In his opinion, he believes a liberal

“On the Uses of Liberal Education” written by Mark Edmundson offers this notion that the college network is becoming something more of a pay-n-go than an institute of higher education, students are more disconsolate and looking towards the professors for entertainment. It is becoming less about the education and more about filling seats and acquiring money. Parents could be partially blamed for their children who grow to be too scared to stand up or be criticized, they would rather stay quiet and let the professors be their entertainment. “I want some of them to say that they’ve been changed by the course”, this made me realize that this doesn’t happen enough and I agree with Edmundson that it’s somewhat due to imperturbable students since

First let me define what I think a liberally educated person is. In theory, a liberally educated person is someone who has received a well-rounded education, but I consider it to be more defined than that. I believe a liberally educated person is simply someone who is constantly using their skills to improve themselves and their communities. In order to do this, you need to have some sort of education. When you want to become a better writer, you study great writers, when you want to become a better artist, you study great artist, and so if you want to become a better person, a liberally educated person, you study great heroes, superheroes.

During the past two years, I was given the opportunity to spend some time observing in the classrooms at the First Presbyterian Church of Bakerstown Preschool, a Christian-based school, in the Gibsonia, PA area, the Westminster College Preschool Lab, and the Head Start program at New Castle, PA. Observing in the different classrooms displayed different ways to setup and design one classroom from another. The church preschool was different from the Head Start program, mostly due by the budget and location of each facility. Many of the church preschool classroom materials were provided by donations to the preschool. The classrooms at all three locations, had some physical similarities with each other including: many windows, child-sized tables, chairs, cubbies, and play kitchens that were child friendly, with different areas for children to play in during free time.

It is not because they can bestow virtue, but because they prepare the soul for the reception of virtue” in the text “liberal studies and education” by Seneca, this quote illustrates Seneca’s beliefs in that liberal studies are not the path to virtue in fact he believes that the path to virtue is seen through wisdom.

Generally, the decision-making process involves prioritizing one field of interest over another, however, due to globalization and constant innovation in technology determining a college major has increasingly become the modern day equivalent of the metaphorical line between life and death. Even so, the obvious choice would be the prestigious STEM fields over liberal arts due to the instant job opportunities which are seemingly ludicrous to a recent graduate.

Within this theoretical discussion I will address how current principles of early years’ pedagogy have been affected by the work of pioneers of early years’ education. Modern day Early Years Education has been hugely influenced and built upon the ideas and theories of historic and current pioneers and legislation.
