From the establishment of Harvard in 1636, to the establishment of the first public Junior College in 1901, to the curricular reforms of the 1960's and 1970's, the purpose of higher education and the role of general education have been the subjects for many lively debates. The national debate on issues relating to general education has intensified within the last decade, and community colleges continue to be active participants in these debates.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a From the establishment of Harvard in 1636, to the establishment of the first public Junior College in 1901, to the curricular reforms of the 1960's and 1970's, the purpose of higher education and the role of general education have been the subjects for many lively debates. The national debate on issues relating to general education has intensified within the last decade, and community colleges continue to be active participants in these debates.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to describe the course contents and classroom environments of selected community college general education general biology courses in sufficient detail as to shed light on the contribution each makes to general education. This study offers descriptions, interpretations, and evaluations of community college general education biology classrooms and laboratories. The intent was to present vivid descriptions of the classroom experience and to offer interpretations of what was being taught and what was being learned.
520 $a This study relied on qualitative case study methods and the notions of connoisseurship and disclosure to collect data, analyze data, and present the results. The study examined a real-life situation and presented events in the words and actions of the real-life participants as observed in context in an attempt to determine to what extent general education goals were being taught in general biology classrooms and laboratories.
520 $a The principle finding of the study was that general education goals as they are commonly identified in the literature were not a significant part of the biology classrooms at this community college. The study took an additional step and attempted to answer the question, "If the values expressed by general education goals were not being taught, what other values were being taught?"
