Seeking excellence in higher education teaching: challenges and reflections seeking excellence in higher education teaching: challenges and reflections / Wayne L. Edwards
No full textWhile fully understanding the multi-faceted role of universities and other higher education institutions, Professor Edwards advocates for the status and value of teaching, particularly in times of emphasis on research outputs and league tables. He draws on his reflections from more than four decades of experience of teaching at university level plus involvement in teaching development, including his views on what makes a good teacher and a set of principles of good teaching. His views are shared on culture and evaluation as key parts of successful teaching. The final section of the paper presents a case study of his support of teaching in the past nine years as President of a privately owned international tertiary institution in New Zealand. The paper concludes with a battery of questions for conference participants’ own reflections on teaching. Of course, he recognises the importance (and competing pressures) of teaching, research, service and administration in the lives of today’s academics
'Giving honour to the Spirit' : a critical analysis and evaluation of the doctrine of pneumatological union in the Trinitarian theology of Jonathan Edwards in dialogue with Karl Barth
No full textThe extent to which the 'honour' of the Spirit influenced the theology of
Jonathan Edwards is a hitherto underdeveloped theme. Against a backdrop of
Patristic thought and in dialogue with the theology of Karl Barth, evaluation is
made of pneumatological union in Edwards' Trinitarian theology as this centres
on the nature and inter-relatedness of the 'three unions' that characterize his
theology: the union of the three Persons of the Trinity, the union of the saints
with God, and the union of the divine and human natures of Christ.
Edwards' seeks to honour the Spirit as the mutual love of the Father for the Son
within his Augustinian, Lockean model of the immanent Trinity, and as 'Person'
in the economy. The challenges of doing so within the limits of this
psychological model of the Trinity are evaluated in dialogue with the
Cappadocian Fathers and Barth.
In a manner patterned after union in the Trinity, Edwards gave prominence to the
concept of the pneumatological union of the saints with God in Christ, in
fulfilment of the self-glorifying purpose of God in creation and redemption.
Edwards' experiential theology of conversion, and his elevation of subjective
sanctification by the Spirit over objective justification in Christ, for assurance, is
contrasted with Barth's greater emphases on the Christological union of God
with humanity and objective justification in Christ. Barth's more contemplative
approach is contrasted with the overly introspective spirituality of Edwards.
Edwards' view of the role of the Spirit in the hypostatic union of God with
humanity in Christ, which is reflective of the other unions, is also evaluated in
light of Patristic, Reformed-Puritan and Barthian thought on the nature of the
humanity Christ assumed, and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. A
more emphatic incarnational emphasis may have saved Edwards' Spirit-
honouring spirituality from an anthropocentricity which is ironical given that the
glory of God is his ontic doxological concern

Intercropping for conservation biological control of European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner (lepidoptera: crambidae) in bell peppers
No full textThe European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner, is the most important insect pest of sweet peppers in New Jersey. Management of this pest has been dependent on insecticides. Numerous predators feed on the eggs and larvae of O. nubilalis and under certain conditions they can contribute high levels of biological control. Maximum control by these predators can be achieved by using selective insecticides and providing nutritional resources when prey is scarce. From 2008 to 2010, we tested the effects of bell peppers intercropped with flowering plants: dill, Anethum graveolens L.; coriander, Coriandrum sativum L.; and buckwheat, Fagopyrum escuelentum Moench on improving O. nubilalis egg predation and reducing its damage to the fruit. By placing O. nubilalis egg masses on sentinel plants, we found that the major predators in New Jersey were the coccinellid Coleomegilla maculata DeGeer, the anthocorid Orius insidiosus Say, and chrysopid larvae, Chrysoperla sp. Egg predation was negatively affected by aphid populations. Aphid populations were reduced and egg predation was enhanced in plots intercropped with flowering plants. Insecticide sprays were used to determine the compatability of a selective material, spinosad, on O. nubilalis suppression in both intercropped and non-intercropped systems. Unsprayed fruit damage was greater in non-intercropped plots with high O. nubilalis densities than intercropped plots, but not in spinosad-treated fruit. Thus spinosad may not be compatible with intercropping systems due to its toxicity to certain predators. In order to test for affects of floral provisioning on biological control, gut contents of O. insidiosus were screened for DNA from the flowers, O. nubilalis, and M. persicae. It was found that the dispersal of this predator from the flowers into the pepper crop was greatest when flowers began to senesce. However, O. nubilalis was not detected in the guts of O. insidiosus during late-June through mid-August sampling periods. Myzus persicae DNA was detcted, indicating that aphids were the primary food during and after peak aphid densities. The proportion of predators feeding on aphids was similar for intercropped and non-intercropped plots, indicating that aphids were a preferred host and that flowers did not distract O. insidiosus from feeding on aphids.M.
