Over the academic year 2000-2001, the Societat Catalana d'Ordenació del Territori organised, together with other departments of Catalan public universities, a debate on the teaching of regional and urban planning within the following disciplines: environmental science, geography, architecture, engineering, economy, law and landscape management. Moreover it was considered that attention should be paid to urban and regional planning related to postgraduate degrees. The aim was on one hand to analyse present situation, and on the other, to propose future strategies

This folder contains a single document describing the "rules and orders" of the Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. The document begins by defining the subjects to be taught by the Hollis Professor including natural and experimental philosophy, elements of geometry, and the principles of astronomy and geography. It then outlines the number of public and private lectures to be given to students, how much extra time the professor should spend with students reviewing any difficulties they may encounter understanding class subject matter discussed, and stipulates that the professor's duties shall be restricted solely to his teaching activities and not involve him in any religious activities at the College or oblige him to teach any additional studies other than those specified for the Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. Furthermore, the rules establish the professor's salary at £80 per year and allow the professor to receive from students, except those students studying theology under the Hollis Professor of Divinity, an additional fee as determined by the Corporation and Board of Overseers, to supplement his income. Moreover, the rules assert that all professorship candidates selected by the Harvard Corporation must be approved by Thomas Hollis during his lifetime or by his executor after his death. Finally, the rules state that the Hollis professor take an oath to the civil government and declare himself a member of the Protestant reformed religion. This document is signed by Thomas Hollis and four witnesses, John Hollis, Joshua Hollis, Richard Solly, and John Williams.

In this proposal, John Winthrop explains the need to replace damaged "electric globes" used in the College's collection of scientific apparatus. He states that Benjamin Franklin, at the time residing in London, was willing to seek replacement globes for the College's collection. Winthrop then proceeds to assert that the College should acquire "square bottles, of a moderate size, fitted in a wooden box, like what they call case bottles for spirits" instead of the large jars included in the scientific apparatus, because those jars cracked frequently.

Bound volume containing a late 17th century handwritten mathematical and astronomical text in one hand. The text is separated into mathematical and astronomical sections with rules, instructions for performing calculations, tables, and drawings. The subjects include arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and trigonometry, and segments have titles such as "Subtraction," "A decimal table of English coince," "Logarithes & their use," and "To find the true place of the sun." The text is undated and unattributed but references Briggs, Oughtred, Ramus, and Apollonius. Certain tables are calculated from latitudinal and longitudinal numbers associated with Boston, and many of the examples use dates in the 1670s and 1680. The manuscript pages are mounted onto unruled pages, and some of the manuscript pages are fragments.

Manuscript notebook, possibly kept by Harvard students, containing 17th century English transcriptions of arithmetic and geometry texts, one of which is dated 1689-1690; 18th century transcriptions from John Ward’s “The Young Mathematician’s Guide”; and notes on physics lectures delivered by John Winthrop, the Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Harvard from 1738 to 1779. The notebook also contains 18th century reading notes on Henry VIII, Tudor succession, and English history from Daniel Neal’s “The History of the Puritans” and David Hume’s “History of England,” and notes on Ancient history, taken mainly from Charles Rollin’s “The Ancient History of the Egyptians, Carthaginians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes and Persians, Macedonians and Grecians.” Additionally included are an excerpt from Plutarch’s “Lives” and transcriptions of three articles from “The Gentleman’s Magazine, and Historical Chronicle,” published in 1769: “A Critique on the Works of Ovid”; a book review of “A New Voyage to the West-Indies”; and “Genuine Anecdotes of Celebrated Writers, &.” The flyleaf contains the inscription “Semper boni aliquid operis facito ut diabolus te semper inveniat occupatum,” a variation on a quote of Saint Jerome that translates approximately as “Always good to do some work so that the devil may always find you occupied.” In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Harvard College undergraduates often copied academic texts and lecture notes into personal notebooks in place of printed textbooks. Winthrop used Ward’s textbook in his class, while the books of Hume, Neal, and Rollin were used in history courses taught at Harvard in the 18th century.

The purpose of this study was to find out the impact of field experience in hospitality education and whether such field experience and others such as semi-practicum, the cooperative, and the work study programs will not play an important role of a closer alliance between the academic and the hospitality industry. II. If it is justifiable to say that it is possible to provide field experience which will enhance the professionally oriented course work, while educators and employers strive to design curriculum that is needed to meet the educational and the industry demands and goals.

El presente proyecto pretende investigar las relaciones que se puedan dar entre el desempeño académico, entendido como dimensión, y diversos factores asociados en alumnos/as que cursan titulaciones de grado universitario. Sabemos la importancia de encontrar regularidades identificables en torno a factores que influyen en el desempeño académico con la finalidad de mejorar los procesos, apoyos, materiales, etc. Se entiende, en este contexto, los factores como herramientas que permiten tener un mayor conocimiento con el fin de comprender mejor la realidad educativa. Igualmente, se los circunscribe a aspectos asociados a resultados en evaluaciones de rendimiento académico en la medida que demuestran el alcance de los hitos de aprendizaje.Partiendo de constructos demarcados como: estatus de identidad adolescente, estilos parentales y autoeficacia, relacionados con el desempeño académico, se platean una serie de hipótesis que se espera poder validar o descartar.Los alumnos/as ingresan a la vida universitaria provenientes de un entorno familiar que entendemos influye en la forma idiosincrática de afrontar y resolver su vida académica. Así, el estilo parental del cual provenga va a ser facilitador -o no- de su desempeño. A su vez se establecen relaciones con el estatus de identidad adolescente y la percepción de autoeficacia. Se asume que todos los factores funcionan en la vida del alumno de manera interactuada, interconectadaPara todo ello se ha aprovechado el tiempo de prácticas en la Dirección de Asuntos Académicos de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú y la inmersión en investigaciones en curso.

En estos últimos años, la universidad española ha estado inmersa en un proceso de transformación de las titulaciones universitarias como consecuencia de la adaptación al espacio europeo de educación superior. Esta transformación se concreta en un cambio de estructura de los ciclos universitarios a la vez que supone una modificación del modelo pedagógico: de un modelo centrado en la enseñanza se pasa a un modelo centrado en el aprendizaje del estudiante. Los planes de estudio de las titulaciones deben estructurarse partiendo de las competencias profesionales que se atribuyen a una determinada profesión. Por ello, la identificación correcta de dichas competencias se convierte en un elemento esencial para el diseño de los títulos. En este artículo presentamos el proceso seguido en la Universidad de Girona (España) para identificar las competencias profesionales de los educadores sociales. Una parte de dicho proceso fue la realización de un estudio en el que, mediante el método Delphi, un panel de expertos valoró y llegó a un consenso sobre cuáles son las competencias profesionales que los educadores sociales en ejercicio desarrollan. El listado ordenado de las competencias de los educadores sociales sirvió como punto de partida para la elaboración del plan de estudios de Educación social de dicha universidad. El propósito del artículo es explicar el proceso seguido y exponer las ventajas de esta información como referente para el diseño de las nuevas titulaciones universitarias
