Extractions: in Russian Scientific researches on the Transcendental Meditation (TM) Research conducted around the world documents that the program is effective for all cultural and ethnic groups. All age groups benefit, from increased alertness in infants of meditating parents to increased health, happiness, and longevity in meditating elderly. People spanning the full range of socioeconomic levels and intellectual abilities benefit, again indicating the universality of Maharishi's program. The following briefly summarizes the overall research findings by category: physiological, psychological, sociological, and ecological. The original landmark research on the physiological correlates of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation technique was published in Science, American Journal of Physiology, and Scientific American in 1970-1972 (papers 1, 3, 4). This research found that the Transcendental Meditation technique produces a physiological state of restful alertness. During the technique the physiology becomes deeply rested, as indicated by significant reductions in respiration, minute ventilation, tidal volume, and blood lactate, and significant increases in basal skin resistance (an index of relaxation). At the same time the physiology is alert rather than asleep, as indicated by an increased abundance of alpha waves in the EEG. These findings led researcher Dr. Keith Wallace to conclude that restful alertness is a fourth major state of consciousness, termed transcendental consciousness, that is physiologically distinct from ordinary waking, dreaming, and deep sleep (paper 2).

Extractions: Reference QO 8/96 November 1996 Assessing the Quality of Education The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) assesses the quality of the higher education (HE) in England for which it provides funding. It also undertakes quality assessments in the Northern Ireland universities by arrangement with the Department for Education Northern Ireland (DENI). The purposes of quality assessment are: to ensure that the public funding provided is supporting education of an acceptable quality, to provide public information on that education through the publication of reports, and to provide information and insights to encourage improvements in education. The main features of the quality assessment method are: Assessment against Aims and Objectives The HE sector is diverse. The Council funds education in 136 institutions of HE and 74 further education (FE) colleges. These institutions vary greatly in size, subject provision, history and statement of purpose. Each has autonomy to determine its institutional mission, and its specific aims and objectives at subject level. Assessment of the Student Learning Experience and Student Achievement Quality assessment examines the wide range of influences that shape the learning experiences and achievements of students. It covers the full breadth of teaching and learning activities, including: direct observation of classroom/ seminar/workshop/laboratory situations, the methods of assessing students' work, students' work and achievements, the curriculum, staff and staff development, the application of resources (library, IT, equipment), and student support and guidance. This range of activities is captured within a core set of six aspects of provision, each of which is assessed using a four-point assessment scale - (1 to 4, in ascending order of merit) - to produce a graded profile of the provision.

Wright Mills described the perspective of sociology as the "sociological imagination." He maintained that this point of view enables us to see how individual lives are shaped by larger social forces. Mills argued, that we cannot fully understand ourselves without understanding the society in which we live. "[People] do not usually define the troubles they endure in terms of historical change...The well being they enjoy, they do not impute to big ups and downs of the society in which they live. Seldom aware of the intricate connection between the patterns of their lives and the course of world history, ordinary people do not usually know what this connection means for the kind of people they are becoming and for the kinds of history-making in which they might take part. They do not process the quality of mind essential to grasp the interplay of individuals and society, of biography and history, of self and the world." At Clark, the sociology faculty is committed to developing such an analytic capacity in students. Through the examination of social processes, such as social stratification, social movements and social change, and through an investigation of diverse social institutions, such as the law, the family, medicine and religion, students acquire the conceptual and analytical tools to enhance both their understanding of their own lives and the world in which they live.
