History, Philosophy, and Values
The History, Philosophy, and Values competency area involves knowledge, skills, and attitudes that connect the history, philosophy, and values of the profession to one's current professional practice. This competency area embodies the foundations of the profession from which current and future research and practice will grow. The commitment to demonstrating this competency area ensures that our present and future practices are informed by an understanding of our history, philosophy, and values. [1]
Activity One:
The first, and perhaps most significant contribution to reaching a basic competency level in history, philosophy, and values, is the CSP 6010: Foundations and Functions of College Student Personnel course. Throughout the course, we explored the various functional areas within higher education and student affairs, the history of higher education in the United States, and the various documents and organizations that shaped the past and are influencing the future of higher education.
Activity Two:
Through my role as assistant to the chair for the College Student Personnel program at BGSU, I have had ample opportunity to reflect on the history, philosophy, and values of the program. In meeting, answering questions, and counseling based on values and fit with prospective students, I have refined my ability to enunciate many aspects of higher education. Having interned in both student and academic affairs, I can describe the role of academic and student affairs in the academy, as well as the college students' development. In working as an admissions representative for the program, I have gained insight in explaining how the field benefits society, what innovative strategies and theories will shape the future of the field, and how to promote, and ultimately build inclusive communities within higher education.
