This study examines the role played by purnawirawan (retired military officers) in political party development in post-authoritarian Indonesia from 1998 to 2014. The role of purnawirawan remains a critical research gap in the literature on democratisation in post-authoritarian Indonesia, particularly in studies which focus on civilian–military relations. The article finds that purnawirawan have had a significant impact on the creation of a new type of party – one which combines military-centred leadership and civilian-controlled management. This new arrangement has enabled these former military officers to protect their interests. This study contributes to the existing literature on the impact of military reform on the increasing numbers of purnawirawan turning to civilian politics in order to maintain influence via electoral political contestation in the context of democratic transition.

PREFACEI was honoured to have been selected to deliver the 35thNikolsky Honorary Lecture. My graduate education at Princeton University owed much to the influence of Alexander A. Nikolsky, the second faculty member appointed to the Princeton Aeronautical Engineering Department in 1943(1). I arrived in 1963, only months after he passed away, but the memory of his presence was still vivid in the minds of his students and colleagues, as well as the professors who introduced me to rotorcraft(2,3). Bob Lynn, Senior Vice President at Bell Helicopter Textron, one of Nikolsky's most illustrious students, recalled the impact of his teaching in the 12thNikolsky Lecture in 1992(4).

Our study, focused on classroom-based research at the introductory level and using the Phage Genomics course as the model, shows evidence that first-year students doing research learn the process of science as well as how scientists practice science. A preliminary but notable outcome of our work, which is based on a small sample, is the change in student interest in considering different career choices such as graduate education and science in general. This is particularly notable, as previous research has described research internships as clarifying or confirming rather than changing undergraduates’ decisions to pursue graduate education. We hypothesize that our results differ from previous studies of the impact of engaging in research because the students in our study are still in the early stages of their undergraduate careers. Our work builds upon the classroom-based research movement and should be viewed as encouraging to the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education movement advocated by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Science Foundation, and other undergraduate education stakeholders.

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in need variables and in self-concepts among three groups of female education students. Ss were 107 beginning undergraduates in education, 74 student-teachers, and 40 graduate education students at Marquette University. The ACL was used to obtain information on changes in the need and self-concept structure defined by the ACL scales as a function of both the selective process operating within the field of education and the impact on that structure of continuing within the field itself. Analysis of variance procedures showed statistically significant differences among the three groups on over half of the ACL scales.
