Ár bhFealsúnacht: An t-Ardoideachas a Athshainmhíniú
Cuireann GCAS samhail nua ar fáil do thaighdeoirí agus do mhic léinn na todhchaí, chun go mbeidh siad saor ó fhiacha agus in ann foghlaim agus eolas a fhiosrú. Cuirtear an tsaoirse acadúil i mbaol de bharr fiacha mac léinn. Mar sin, chruthaíomar spás chun an smaointeoireacht chriticiúil agus an mhachnamh a chothú agus a spreagadh, gan brúnna eacnamaíocha.
Léaráid le Ted Rall
Tá ár gColáiste bunaithe ar na gealltanais seo a leanas:
- Saoirse Acadúil — The freedom to think, question, and explore without constraint
- Na hEalaíona Liobrálacha — A broad foundation for understanding the world
- Tógáil Réiteach Cruthaitheach — Developing innovative approaches to complex problems
- Réiteach Fadhbanna Éiceolaíocha — Addressing environmental challenges thoughtfully
- Modh Comhroinnte Léiriúcháin Oideachais — Collaborative ownership of learning
Pobal Foghlama Díláraithe
We are a “decentralised” liberal arts-based community that encourages bold and courageous thinking grounded in history and evidence-based reasoning.
The classroom should never be dominated by abstract, rote learning and trivial test-taking. Instead, education should be primarily collaborative, student-centered, and concerned with particular problems from contemporary social and economic events and one’s own life experience.
In this way, students become accustomed to a higher-level learning process of “questioning the question”—of learning by critically engaging the presuppositions on which questions themselves frame the “problem.”
Ról an Mhúinteora
Seachas an múinteoir ag cur ábhar réamh-eisithe, oibiachtúil ar fáil do dhaltaí a ghlactar leo mar shoithí folmha, is é an tsamhail atá againn ná Éascaitheoir a chuireann ar chumas próisis comhfhoghlama.
The task for pedagogy today is to consider not just the problem per se, but the lenses through which it is understood, processed, and acted upon—not only within institutions, but also within lived culture where they are encountered.
“Serious learning is not easy at times because it challenges your assumptions and asks you to give evidence for why you hold the beliefs you do. This is the beauty of the learning process—a process that is about growth, honesty, and truth.”
Colúin GCAS
Is é an tsamhail oideachais a d'fhorbraíomar an chéad cheann dá leithéid agus tá sí bunaithe ar thrí philéar bhunúsacha:
Dámh den Scoth
Is comhúinéirí ar an gcoláiste iad ár ndámh agus ár gcéimithe, rud a chinntíonn comhtháthú idir sármhaitheas sa teagasc agus misean na hinstitiúide.
Oideachas Saor ó Fhiacha
Tairgtear scoláireachtaí laghdaithe táillí teagaisc do gach mac léinn a nglactar leo, bunaithe ar fhiúntas a n-iarratais.
Creidiúnú an AE
Cuirimid cláir chéime creidiúnaithe ar fáil san Aontas Eorpach trínár n-institiúid chomhpháirtíochta, Woolf.
Mar Institiúid
We don’t receive funding from foundations, interest groups, or the state. We are owned and operated cooperatively by ourselves. When you become a researcher, you become part of our academic community whose mission is to protect and create bold new ways of thinking and being in the world.
