Thesis (D.A.)--George Mason University, 2005.

The course History of Western Civilization has undergone many criticisms and changes over the past twenty years. Most arguments tend to center on the value of the course. In addition, there is considerable debate about the validity of continuing to use History of Western Civilization as part of a history curriculum. While the debate centers on universities, there is also a need to consider what impact the course, History of Western Civilization, has on community colleges. Because of this debate, the opportunity and timing is excellent for further research into this course.

520 $a The course History of Western Civilization has undergone many criticisms and changes over the past twenty years. Most arguments tend to center on the value of the course. In addition, there is considerable debate about the validity of continuing to use History of Western Civilization as part of a history curriculum. While the debate centers on universities, there is also a need to consider what impact the course, History of Western Civilization, has on community colleges. Because of this debate, the opportunity and timing is excellent for further research into this course.
520 $a The challenges faced by this course in community colleges are numerous, when one considers the diversity of the student body, the accessibility of new technology, the discovery of different student's learning styles, and the issue of transferability as some community colleges must change their course criteria to match new university requirements. The question is how can History of Western Civilization contribute in developing knowledgeable, thinking students, as both a course for community colleges and universities? Finding a solution to this challenge requires an examination of the purpose History of Western Civilization serves to both the academic field and community colleges. This is necessary in order to determine whether this purpose is still valid and whether it needs redevelopment to maintain its value. Also, an examination of both teaching methodologies and evaluation techniques such as exams, papers, and participation should reveal whether this purpose is addressed or not, and if so, how it is addressed.
520 $a In order to contribute to the development of knowledgeable, thinking students, the purpose of this dissertation is to focus on a more thorough examination of the course content and the distinction between the teaching of Western Civilization at universities and at community colleges. To accomplish this, this study examines four college institutions and their syllabi on the course, History of Western Civilization. In addition, the purpose of the research is to examine critical research questions, which are broken into three prime components including: purpose, value and effectiveness of this course.
