Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Academia, Acadème, or the Academy are collective terms for the community of students and scholars engaged in higher education and research.

The word comes from the akademeia, just outside ancient Athens, where the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe."[1]

By extension Academia has come to connote the cultural accumulation of knowledge, its development and transmission across generations and its practitioners and transmitters. In the 17th century, British and French religious scholars popularized the term to describe certain types of institutions of higher learning. The British adopted the form academy, while the French adopted the forms acadème and académie.

An academic is a person who works as a researcher (and usually teacher) at a university, college, or similar institution in post-secondary (tertiary) education. He or she is nearly always an advanced degree holder. In the United States, the term academic is approximately synonymous with that of the job title professor although in recent decades a growing number of institutions are also including academic or professional librarians in the category of "academic staff." In the United Kingdom, various titles are used, typically fellow, lecturer, reader, and professor (see also academic rank), though the loose term don is often popularly substituted. The term scholar is sometimes used with equivalent meaning to that of "academic" and describes in general those who attain mastery in a research discipline. It has wider application, with it also being used to describe those whose occupation was researched prior to organized higher education.

1. Is a Discipleship Gap Year Right for Me?
November 04, 2009

There are multitudes of reasons why a young person today would want to take a break in their education after completing high school. Quite often, it's simply a case of being burnt out after spending so many years dedicated to academia and one may simply just want some time off for a while. Or in other cases, a young adult may feel that they are deserving of some change of pace, after all the years of dedication and hard work they have put in. Then there are others and you may be one of them, who have a yearning to get out and have a taste of life. Not necessarily quit school or stop learn... (read more)

2. Free market capitalism for our economic problems is accusing a ghost..........
November 01, 2009

Everywhere I turn, I see, read and hear how capitalism has destroyed the American economy. The political Left blames capitalism outright, while the political Right claims capitalism is the American ideal. The elitists in banking, government, academia and the media give lip-service to the idea of a free market, when they, in fact, have no use for it. The real purpose of claiming that free markets are the American ideal is to give the collectivist a scapegoat to blame for all their nefarious wealth redistribution programs. Too many of today's activists have fallen for this intentional misdirecti... (read more)

6. Preparing Your Child For Elementary Math
October 16, 2009

Sending children back to school after a summer of fun is often a grueling task. For many youths, the idea of entering back into the world of academia is a frightening thought. Math seems to be the one subject that most children struggle with. Parents must remember that learning about the language of numbers digs much deeper than the elementary math lessons that their kids learn in the classroom. There are a number of ways that parents can get involved in their child's math curriculum. • Schedule a parent-teacher conference. The teacher will tell you which math ideas the student needs...

October 14, 2009

As you think about graduate schools, you should weigh some factors. Graduate program rankings are vital, but equally vital is whether grad school will assist you to meet the career goals of yours. 1. Find out what previous graduates are doing. The contribution to graduate school must pay back. Were graduates capable to obtain promotions at their present workplaces? Were they capable to get much better positions? Did they locate work in industry or academia? 2. Figure out. In case you get into any high-ranking grad program, you need to be proud.

10. The Guide to Online Slots
September 10, 2009

Although the psychology has possibly been studied by academia somewhere, who’s to know exactly what’s alluring about playing slots? Is it the bright lights or the sound of cash money – the clink of coins or just the energy buzzing about the place? It’s really hard to tell. Perhaps it’s the collective force of all these aspects - making slot machines the most popular past-time they’ve always been.... Those familiar with online slots will know the reel systems intimately, the three reels and five reels, spinning and sticking where you really want them to; the lucky 7’s and the cherries, all of ...

14. MBAs: Online vs. On-Campus
June 09, 2009

While the world of academia is sometimes regarded as slow to adapt to the quickly changing world of technology, this view has proven to be somewhat misguided. The large number of respected institutions that are now offering online MBA programs is evidence that traditional schools are embracing alternative and flexible learning methods. Today, students can choose to undertake their MBA education on campus, online, full-time, part-time or independently. Which method is best? That's partially up to you. For some students, there is no substitute for face-to-face interaction. The structuring a... (read more)

19. A Day in the Life at a Spanish Immersion School in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
February 16, 2009

I was told to arrive a day early and stay at the Best Western Kamuk, located in downtown Quepos, Costa Rica. As I exited the bus and started off down the unfamiliar street, luggage in tow, my very first observation about this quaint little sportsfishing town were its sidewalks. Unlike any place with sidewalks I had ever seen, these sidewalks were raised approximately two feet above the street, making for a nasty spill if one was to veer a tad too far off to the side. At first, I was indifferent about this interesting little characteristic of my new home for the next semester, until I realiz... (read more)

21. New Generations Learn About Intellectual Property
October 07, 2008

Until recently, intellectual property (IP) was a legal specialty practiced by a small number of attorneys, most of whom gained their knowledge of the subject working for IP-related companies or clients. Due the dearth of college courses offered on IP, the most rigorous training they had in the field was probably an introductory course or overview. This meant that the real educators in the field of IP were the companies offering, for lack of a better term, “on the job training.” Academia having failed to keep pace with the accelerated evolution of IP law, this training was essential to sup...
