This article compares and contrasts experiential and holistic education and suggests some points of entry where basic principles of holistic education could serve to enhance the conceptual foundations of the philosophy of experiential education. The article begins by comparing three curriculum orientations: transmission (back-to-basics education), transaction (progressive and experiential education), and transformation (holistic education). The paper then assesses the definition of experiential education put forward in three recent contributions to the Journal. It is suggested that these definitions could well be enriched by privileging forms of consciousness beyond the cognitive, by deepening the notion of relationship to include embeddedness, and by honouring the “state of being” alongside “acts of doing.”
A set of experiments with a saturated kaolinite-water system is described in which the dependence of the erosion rate on the hydraulic bed shear, salinity (NaNO
3
), temperature, zeta potential and ion-exchange capacity was studied. In all tests the eroding and pore water was the same, ranging from distilled deionized water to 0.100 M solution of NaNO
3
. The results indicate that temperature is an important variable in pure water. Its influence decreases rapidly with increasing salinity and decreasing particle size. The effect of sodium nitrate concentration was much more pronounced with finer fractions of kaolinite. No relation between erodibility and zero potential or cation and anion exchange capacity was found.
Public service broadcasting has been under pressure in the United Kingdom in recent years. The reasons for this situation are considered, the challenges which have arisen are examined, and an assessment of the current and likely future health of public service broadcasting in Britain is offered. Résumé : La radiodiffusion du service public au Royaume-Uni fait face à certaines pressions depuis quelques années. Cet article considère les raisons pour cette situation, examine les défis qui se sont présentés et évalue la santé actuelle et éventuelle de la radiodiffusion du service public.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
