Abstract Universities in the U. S. have adopted new curriculum to meet changes in the world. But how bold is the change, and how expanded is the reform vary by institutions. In this article, we look at the new curriculum for general education at the University of Maryland as a case study. We will first conduct a review of literature, which provides readers with an overview of the evolvement of general education and how it leads to the current types of reforms. We then present the reform at the University of Maryland, highlighting some key changes such as the addition of the I-Series courses, to illustrate the depth and breadth in reform in general education, and finally we reflect on the innovation and challenges of the reform.

Stem Teaching

The STEM education teaching approach (STEM teaching) has been one of the important orientations ofthe Vietnamese general education program. However, thus farthere has been no competency framework for STEM teachingin our country. A competency framework for STEM teachingwould include two important things. With this framework,learners would have complete control when setting up theirplan, finding information, defining the learning contentmethodologies and providing multi-subject knowledge at thebeginning of a procedure. Furthermore, it can be orientatedto evaluate the expression level of each student. This paperpresents the process of designing a competency frameworkfor a STEM teaching and suggests the ways to use thisframework at the University of Education.

Mathematics Department

ln 1973, the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) initiated a new undergraduate general education program for the purpose of encouraging innovative courses and interdisciplinary cooperation. The university has never required mathematics as a part of its general education program. However, the Mathematics Department at UNC is becoming more involved with service courses for other departments. In the hope of encouraging more students to take some mathematics, I developed a course entitled “Gambling, Casinos, and Game Simulation.” This article explains the objectives, the content, and the intent of the course.

The presented model shows the competitive advantages of a professional retraining education program characterized by a big concentration of resources per student and a high value of education service. The article may be useful for the university management in Russia in developing and updating strategies and programs of practice-oriented education that will meet the requirements of regional labour markets, concrete organizations and employers and contribute to graduates’ adaptation to actual production process.

This book examines the evolution of American universities during the years following World War II. Emphasizing the importance of change at the campus level, the book combines a general consideration of national trends with a close study of eight diverse universities in Massachusetts. The eight are Harvard, M.I.T., Tufts, Brandeis, Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern and the University of Massachusetts. Broad analytic chapters examine major developments like expansion, the rise of graduate education and research, the professionalization of the faculty, and the decline of general education. These chapters also review criticisms of academia that arose in the late 1960s and the fate of various reform proposals during the 1970s. Additional chapters focus on the eight campuses to illustrate the forces that drove different kinds of institutions--research universities, college-centered universities, urban private universities and public universities--in responding to the circumstances of the postwar years.
