Student Work

Senate File Five Thirty One was signed by the Governor of Iowa into law on April 23, 1974. There was little litigation among Iowa schools related to the writing of negotiated agreements prior to April 23, 1974. There has been very little litigation since that date. There may be much more such litigation within the next five years because the Iowa Public Employees Relations Act goes into affect on July 1, 1975, for all teachers in the state. School superintendents in Nebraska have been working out such agreements since 1967.

Master's Theses

A student's cognitive achievement may be facilitated or repressed by various elements that constitute his affective character; his feelings, attitudes, and expectations form a substantial relationship with achievement. Rather than limiting themselves to evaluating those cognitive areas that relate with various measures of achievement, the administrators and staff members at the New Community School (NCS) have specified a desire to investigate and measure both the attitudes toward school and the self held by their attending students. Within the domain of educational evaluation, greater significance is being accorded to the students' values, interests, and attitudes(Lockwood 1973). In keeping with such considerations, …
