Mission Statement

E世博ESBALL哲学向学生介绍塑造全球文化的知识和宗教传统,同时培养逻辑思维技能, clear writing, 健全的论证和对不同世界观的深思熟虑. 

Program Description

巴特哲学支持学生成功地满足通识教育转学和多元化教育的要求, 在学习全球文化丰富的知识传统的同时,加强学生的逻辑思维和写作能力. 

PHIL-006(逻辑和批判性思维导论)和PHIL-008(论证方法)满足CSU和IGETC的批判性思维要求.

PHIL-016(西方宗教)和PHIL-018(东方宗教)是和平与全球研究成就证书的一部分.



Student Learning/Administrative Unit Outcomes

In 2021FA, 哲学教学人员被要求评估我们的cslo(课程级slo)与我们新的项目学习成果的一致性.

Here are the PLOs:

成功完成课程后,学生将能够:

 
1.  分析和评价来自哲学和非哲学来源的论点.
 
2.  识别哲学原理和概念,因为他们在哲学史上的发展.
 
3.  讨论和评价哲学主要分支的主张和论点, including logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics.
 

4.  针对塑造人类生活的各种假设和观点,阐述并捍卫哲学立场.

结果,以及教授各个部分的教师的评论,可以在这里找到:

In general, we found good alignment of our cSLOs with our PLOs, 虽然PHIL-008的6个clo往往是重复的,建议系里把它们删减,作为课程审查的一部分.


学生成就标准/目标(教学部)

Success and retention

2021年的总体成功率为66%,低于2021-2022年75%的成功愿景计分卡目标, 尽管更重要的是该部门从2016年(54%)到2021年(66%)的改进。. 在坎普大火之后,这一数字有所上升,但目前还不清楚这一异常时期的潜在统计原因. 在整个图表中,2021年83%的留存率保持相对稳定,远远超过了2021-2022年73%的成功愿景目标.

success and retention

 而成功/留存指标则处于充满希望的轨道上, 自2016年以来,哲学产生的总贸易量大幅下降. There are a number of factors at play:

Demographics matter, 作为一所大学,我们必须考虑的一个问题是,如何才能维持较小的院系, and not just sustained, but resourced so they can prosper.

Strategic Direction

The PHIL Department, with its new AA-T degree, 可以通过与引导路径和探索者路径项目(该部门正在参与)的整合来帮助提高学生的教育目标完成度。.

Philosophy Faculty are being trained in creating anti-racist classrooms; they have presented flex workshops on the meaning of Critical Race Theory (and the myths surrounding it in the media) and how to read older works with an equity lens. Additionally, 英国《e世博官方网站》教授丹•巴内特(Dan Barnett)参加了为期一年的文化意识实践社区项目, which meets for 3.每个月5个小时,还有公平课堂,以及一个书籍讨论小组,考虑到博士. Gina Garcia's "How To Become An Hispanic Serving Institution." This work helps forward a number of strategic directions, 包括成为一个重要的HSI机构,有意为拉丁裔学生的成功做出贡献.


Program Review

哲学系计划在2022FA进行课程审查,并完成2023FA的项目审查.

我们已经完成了上次项目评审的所有建议.

Future Development Strategies

Strategy 1 - Develop Student-Centric Schedule

  • 战略调度分析-确定面对面课程的最佳日期/时间/地点
  • Develop more online courses to meet student demand
  • 计划和宣传晚开始的课程,以满足E世博ESBALL和奇科州立大学学生的需求,他们可能需要额外的单元或批判性思维课程
  • 根据学生的需要分析冬季和夏季学期的哲学课程
  • 战略性地开设新的在线部分,以减轻等候名单的压力

策略2 -与CAS合作,确保逻辑导师的持续可用性

PHIL-006 (Introduction to Logic) introduces deductive, inductive, 科学论证对许多学生来说是一个挑战.

Especially with online class sections, students find they need more than text, videos, and demonstrations; they need just-in-time in-person or online help (including tutoring). Office hour meetings with instructors can be helpful, as well as the use of NetTutor, 但这两种服务都存在障碍,尤其是对那些本可以从这些服务中获益最多的学生.

In the past, 导师是从感兴趣的PHIL-006学生中挑选出来的,他们在CAS上的时间很少,而且很少在一种先有鸡还是先有蛋的问题上得到帮助. 我们建议与CAS合作,看看是否有更多的定期导师(数学), 例如)可能能够扩展他们的工作,包括逻辑介绍.

我们还希望与CAS合作,让这些导师使用双鱼座或其他软件进行在线辅导.

Strategy 3 - Extend Awareness of AA-T in Philosophy

奇科州立大学哲学系支持E世博ESBALLAA-T哲学学位的必要性和重要性.  Philosophy courses sharpen student thinking, writing and oral skills, preparing students for careers in education, law, medicine, business, journalism, ministry, and government.

由于哲学作为一门学科没有国家规定的课程(英语也是如此), COM, POLS, HIST and MATH), 我们必须开发另一个渠道来吸引感兴趣的专业(或想要通用电气Phil课程的非专业).

To that end we propose the following:

  1. Develop a Butte College Philosophy Club - At least five students are needed before the club can be established on BC Connect; each current Philosophy instructor asks students if they are interested and forwards responses tothe Advisor (the FT faculty member).
  2. Sponsor a campus-wide, 围绕“家”的理念,来自各个学科和部门的声音参与了为期一年的项目,从找到或搬到一个家到失去一个家或家的含义,定义方式多种多样. 其目标是团结校园社区,倾听不同的故事和对“家”概念的回应,并促进AA-T的存在. 演讲可以多种多样,部门希望为每个参与者颁发一些令牌(从诗歌到建筑管理到DSPS到无家可归的学生到退休人员等等)。.
  3. 继续在各种校园活动中推广AA-T,比如欢迎日.

策略四:将在线哲学课程与CVC标准相结合

加州虚拟校园(CVC)发现,当在线课程“资源充足”时,学生的成功程度会提高.g.(包括在线辅导、咨询、监考和视频聊天),并符合CVC的标准.

CVC Rubric: http://onlinenetworkofeducators.org/course-design-academy/online-course-rubric/

因此,提高学生在线哲学课程成功率的策略包括:

  • 参加当地的POCR(同侪在线课程审查)小组(见http://onlinenetworkofeducators).org/course-design-academy/pocr-resources/)
  • 根据在线公平准则(http://web)审查课程.peralta.)由Peralta社区学院区开发
  • 提供专业发展研讨会和津贴,使在线哲学教师能够使他们的课程与CVC的准则保持一致
  • 提交一致的课程,由全州CVC标准小组进行最终审查
