PSRJ = Problem-solving with Reflective Judgment

Tusculum College is re-visioning its approach to educating students!

Beginning in 2010 there will be greater institutional emphasis and support behind practices that are learner-centered and intended to develop students' ability to solve problems through the application of Reflective Judgment skills.

Reflective Judgment is recognizing the limits (uncertainty) of knowledge and yet being able to construct a resonable knowledge claim or solve a problem with a defensible solution, all while holding this view tentatively and recognizing that with better tools or a different perspective that the "truth" of the situation may change.

The process of developing this plan occurred over nearly 30 months and involved students, faculty and staff from across Tusculum's campus and sites.

The result is a plan to enhance student learning that is not only integrated with Tusculum's civic arts tradition, but also connected to research on effective educational practice. It will serve to meet the needs of our students who will face many challenges as citizen-leaders.

What is The Center for Global Studies?

The Tusculum College Study Abroad program was initiated in the early 1990's with regular trips to Costa Rica.

The program expanded first through a partnership with Universida Latina in Costa Rica and next through inclusion in the Business Education Initiative (BEI) started by U.S. Presbyterians and Catholics.

The opportunities for Tusculum students to study abroad were further expanded through the ACA London program.

And in 2002, a study abroad program in Belize was developed in conjunction with the Presbytery USA.

Today, the Center for Global Studies continues to expand the vision of studying abroad to provide international exposure for Tusculum College students.

The Center's mission is to enhance the capacity of individuals and organizations to address local and global challenges through building relationships with communities, institutions of higher learning and organizations globally.
