Q1. Please explain what role administrative agencies play in our government and the steps for how rules and regulations are made in those agencies. Do you think they should be a fourth branch of government and why or why not?

Q2. On February 1, 2004, CBS presented a live broadcast of the National Football League’s Super Bowl XXXVIII, which included a halftime show produced by MTV Networks. Nearly 90 million viewers watched the Halftime Show, which began at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and lasted about 15 minutes. The Halftime Show featured a performance with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake as a “surprise guest” for the final minutes of the show.

Timberlake and Jackson performed his popular song “Rock Your Body” as the show’s finale. Their performance, which involved sexually suggestive choreography, portrayed Timberlake seeking to dance with Jackson, and Jackson alternating between accepting and rejecting his advances. The performance ended with Timberlake singing, “gonna have you naked by the end of this song,” and simultaneously tearing away part of Jackson’s bustier. CBS had implemented a five-second audio delay to guard against the possibility of indecent language being transmitted on air, but it did not employ similar precautionary technology for video image. As a result, Jackson’s bare right breast was exposed on camera for nine-sixteenths of one second.

On September 22, 2004, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability, finding that CBS had apparently violated federal law and FCC rules restricting the broadcast of indecent material. After its review, the Commission determined that CBS was liable for a forfeiture penalty of $550,000 because its actions were willful.

CBS filed with the FCC for a reconsideration, which was denied. CBS then appealed the case to the federal Court of Appeals on the grounds that the finding of willful as well as the penalty were arbitrary and capricious and violated First Amendment rights. Based on the Fox Television Station’s case, what do you think the decision should be and why?

Chapter 7:  

Central University of Illinois has a newly appointed president, Catherine Husker. This has been a challenging budget year due to the difficulties of getting a state budget passed in the State Legislature. It appears from all reports that the budget that may get passed will be only 90% of last year’s state appropriations for the University. This means the University will have to cut their own operating budget for next year because of the State’s expected reduction in appropriations to higher education.

Husker just had a meeting with the athletic director of the university, Gareth Connor, to discuss the budget for the athletic department. Central University has been a men’s football and basketball powerhouse for the last several decades. However, the women’s athletic program has had less success. Last year, though, the women’s basketball team was one of the team’s selected to participate in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Competition through an “at-large bid” due to their outstanding season.

Connor and Husker discussed the 2018 Athletic Department budget, which Connor believed was the final draft. The meeting did not go well. In fact, it went terribly.   Husker discussed four grave concerns she had about the Athletic Department budget and requested Connor to review and revise the budget in light of her concerns below. Draft II of the budget is due in two weeks time.

Concern 1: The Athletic Department is budgeting a loss of over $3 million. Given the tight fiscal position of the university, this outcome is unacceptable to Husker. A budgeted loss of $1 million is the most she will tolerate for 2018. By 2019 the Athletic Department has to operate with a balanced budget. She tells Connor this is nonnegotiable.

Concern 2: The low allocation of money to the women’s athletic program. Fox Valley News, a tabloid television show, recently ran a program titled “It’s a Man’s World at Central University Athletics’ Program.” Husker said Connor is treating woman athletes as “third-class citizens.”

Concern 3: The low academic performance of the men’s football athletes, many of whom have full scholarships. She notes that the local TV news recently ran an interview with three football-team students, only one of which “exemplified the high academic credentials she wants Central to showcase to the world.” As for the other two students, she calls one student “incoherent” and another “incapable of stringing sentences together.”

Concern 4: The outrageous salary paid to “Bull” Mason, the football coach. She notes it is twice that of the highest paid academic person on campus, a Nobel Prize winner. Moreover, Mason receives other payments from his “Football the Central Way” summer program for high school students.

Below is Draft I of the Athletic Department budget:

Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

Research conducted by Collins and Porras (2002) highlights the importance of establishing and committing to an ideology comprised of two parts: (1) core values; (2) a core purpose. In my personal experience it seems easier to define a core ideology than to live it consistently.

The philosophical position known as constructivism views knowledge as a human construction. The various perspectives within constructivism are based on the premise that knowledge is not part of an objective, external reality that is separate from the individual. Instead, human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner, is a human construction.

References:
Gredler, M. E. (2001). Learning and instruction: Theory into practice (4th Ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall.

Does knowledge exist outside of, or separate from, the individual who knows? Constructivists argue that human knowledge, such as what is known in the fields of mathematics or sociology, as well as knowledge about learning itself, is a human construction (Gredler, 2001).

There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction.

Rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based instruction. Software engineers have been successful in designing applications by using rapid prototyping. So it also could be an efficient way to do instructional design.

A teacher is one who guides or leads. To guide does not necessarily mean to instruct directly. We often think of teaching as direct instruction (presenting information, asking questions, giving feedback, demonstrating some procedure, evaluating student progress, and so on). But a teacher can guide without instructing directly. A good example is the Montessori system of education. In a Montessori school, most of what a child learns is through interacting with a variety of curriculum materials in a particular context. A Montessori teacher does much less direct instruction than do teachers in traditional schools.

References:
Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation.

Teachers should be guides or leaders. In the role of a guide, a teacher does less presenting of information, demonstrating and providing feedback. For example, in a Montessori school, most student learning occurs through interaction with a variety of class materials, rather than interaction with a teacher.
