Why would someone choose an EdD over a PhD? That’s a valid question and a question that I believe deserves a thorough answer. This is because, as with many things, there seems to be a high level of confusion over what each degree really represents. In some circles, the EdD is as prized as any […]

Imagine If Education Was Valued

Can you imagine a world or a nation where education is valued? For thousands of years, education was highly sought after. Unfortunately, something has changed here in the United States.

Cognitivism – In A Nutshell

There are different schools of thought regarding the best approach to education and learning (which are different).

A Case Against Andragogy?

In my studies, I came across an interesting journal entry. “Pedagogy vs. Andragogy: A False Dichotomy?” is a fantastic journal entry that is well-balanced and covers a variety of critiques of andragogy from various researchers (Holmes & Abington-Cooper, 2000).

10 Points Missed on Student Loan Forgiveness

Student loan forgiveness is a hot topic, and I would like to add to it with another disagreeable thought. Oddly enough, many educated conservatives have split with uneducated Republicans on the topic.

The Need for More Health Science in Health Care

When the sick are told to put their lives in the hands of someone unqualified to treat them, we know there is a problem.
