-
During the 1988-89 academic year, the public community colleges in Illinois reviewed the general education component of their baccalaureate/transfer degree programs. Subsequently, the colleges were asked to respond to a series of questions about the following: (1) the relationship of the general education curriculum to program objectives and other curriculum components; (2) objectives for the development of skills in written and oral communications, mathematics, and analytical thinking; (3) the communication of these objectives to students; (4) methods used to assess student progress; (5) results of the assessment of student progress; (6) the support provided by faculty-related institutional policies to teaching and learning development; and (7) the resources needed to support changes and improvements. In conducting the general education reviews, all of the colleges used committees consisting of administrators, faculty and, in some cases, students. In most cases, the results and recommendations of the committees were presented to the college at large and to the board of trustees. Colleges described the objectives of general education as the development of a breadth of knowledge and an understanding of the different modes of inquiry and expression within the basic fields of humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and natural sciences. To fulfill these objectives, all colleges required a distribution of coursework in the arts/humanities, social/behavioral sciences, and natural sciences. Based on college responses, nine recommendations were developed, concerning the continuation of the general education reviews, closer collaboration with universities, the further development of assessment and tracking systems, follow-up studies, and the identification of resource needs.
