The Information Age is a new cultural era in which the dominant resource is information. For educators attempting to prepare the increasingly diverse student body for the 1990's and beyond, the scope, magnitude, and constantly changing nature of this Information Age renders the task monumental. In an effort to create a real-world context for a humanities survey elective, Harford Community College in Maryland utilized daily newspaper clippings, wire copy, and an on-line computer network service as the primary instructional resources in the college's Principles of Logic course. Students were taught within the perspective of the "human image system," defined as the cultural and social particulars through which each individual interprets his or her world. Awareness of one's own image system and the image systems of others is intended to broaden tolerance of cultural diversity. Following the course, a follow-up questionnaire was sent to 52 students to elicit reactions to the course content and to determine the value of the instructional materials used. Survey results, based on responses from 27 students, included the following: (1) over half of the respondents found newspapers to be a very valuable tool in increasing critical thinking skills; (2) only one-third felt that using newspapers in the class increased their reading of newspapers outside of class; (3) over 75% indicated that after the course they were analyzing what they read more carefully; and (4) there was unanimous support for the use of newspapers as an instructional tool. The course syllabus, survey instrument, a tabulation of survey responses, and comments of respondents are appended. (JMC)
