A Study Of The Career Maturity Of Low Socio-Economic Teenagers, Margaret Saunders

Attitudes Of Elementary Teachers Toward Participation And Representation In Decision-Making, Willie R. Guster
Graduate Theses
It was the purpose of this study to investigate the attitude of elementary teachers toward direct participation and representative participation in educational decision-making. A population of elementary teachers from six elementary schools were given an attitude survey concerning involvement.

Teachers were more dispersed in their attitudes toward direct and representative participation in the areas of administrative leadership, school-community relations, and professional self-improvement
A Systematic Approach To Education In The Andrews Independent School District, Pat K. Watkins
A Systematic Approach To Education In The Andrews Independent School District, Pat K. Watkins
Graduate Theses
During the past decade, people in most areas of public and private life have turned to questioning the conditions under which they live and the quality of life itself. After years of rapid expansion, deficiencies, obsolete facilities, and practices, inadequacies in the educational product, and lack of long-term goals that are generally agreed upon by consumer and producer became apparent. Many people think that somebody is responsible for the shortcomings and should be held accountable. Determining responsibility for learning results is complicated by the many variables, controllable and uncontrollable, that affect the outcomes of the learner's experiences. Who is responsible …

An Analysis Of Peer Counseling As A Guidance Process In Educational Settings: A Review Of Literature And A Model For Implementation, Virginia E. Reed
An Analysis Of Peer Counseling As A Guidance Process In Educational Settings: A Review Of Literature And A Model For Implementation, Virginia E. Reed
Graduate Theses
This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of the peer helping model as a viable approach to extending guidance services to students not now being served effectively due to manpower constraints in the public schools. Evaluation and research data supporting peer counseling programs are limited. Since the use of peer helpers as an identified and organized element within a guidance program is a relatively new phenomenon, still considered experimental or "innovative", it is not surprising that information is tenuous and often ambiguous. However, the growth of peer counseling programs during the last decade, along with the apparent success of …

Ninety-six children, ages 5> 6, and 7 responded to six Piagetian type story pairs that contrasted good intentions/ high damage with had intentions/low damage to determine differences in how the child judges (a) himself, and (h) another child in identical imaginary situations. The story themes included lying, stealing, and property damage. The taped and illustrated story pairs were presented twice during the testing period with (a) self as the central character, and (b) another child as the central character. No support was found for the Piagetian supposition that the child first makes autonomous choices in situations that involve self. However, …

Personal, Social, And Vocational Adjustment Of The Educable Cerebral Palsied; A Review Of The Literature, Billy M. Brown
Graduate Theses
The educable cerebral palsied child possesses with his disability many problems. His place in the spectrum of the community is primarily determinant upon his personal adjustment, social adjustment, and vocational adjustment.

They are unprepared vocationally, they lack personal and social skills and thus create within the counselor the question of feasibility for services based upon potential to enter into the …

Career Education: A Promise Of Relevancy In Education, Jimmie Nell Parker
Career Education: A Promise Of Relevancy In Education, Jimmie Nell Parker
Graduate Theses
That students are role-oriented while many schools are still goal-oriented has been demonstrated in this project. Many educators (Goldhammer & Heilman, 1973; Glasser, 1970; Goodlad, 1975; Hansen, 1975; Mink, 1975; and Tyler, 1972) emphasize the importance of students finding their identity and a sense of belongingness. Hoyt (1974), Marland (1971) (1972), and Goldhammer et. al. (1973) see work as an important element in helping youth find a meaningful role for himself in his community. While still in its infancy, I career education is well on its way to carving out a purpose which is critical if American education is to …
